Aquatic Center Questions: Day Five


What will the user fees be, and how much will the Aquatic Center cost to operate?

The city is developing a pro forma operating budget.  Fees have not been set, but they will be competitive with facilities in the surrounding communities, and they will be designed to be both affordable and practical in terms of offsetting the Aquatic Center's operating costs.

How many employees will it take to run the pool?

The City is preparing information on staffing and budget.  It likely will require more employees to run the new pool.  That might mean spending more on compensation for employees.  The positive side of that issue is that the new Aquatic Center will create more employment opportunity for young people.

Has the City talked to the schools about partnering with them to be sure the Aquatic Center is used for the benefit of all sectors of the community?

The City currently has agreements with the schools for use of the pool.  At a minimum, those agreements will continue and they may be expanded with the new Aquatic Center.
