“Ms. Lillevand discussed the possible bond measure language included in the survey. She indicated that 53% of respondents were supportive of a possible bond measure at this time, but that this level of support falls short of the super majority required to pass a bond. She indicated that respondents were asked about different bond amounts, but that support levels remained the same for a $15 million or $20 million bond. She relayed Mr. Metz’s conclusion that respondents did not see the upgrades to the pool or recreational facilities as an urgent matter.

“Ms. Lillevand relayed that following receipt of this information, Council directed staff to reconvene the ad-hoc subcommittee of Councilmember Andersen and Mayor McBain to work with staff on possible public outreach and education initiatives. She also indicated that staff is working to obtain a professional opinion on the usable lifespan of the existing facility as well as what would happen in the event of a major failure at the pool.”
