Board to dive into discussion on aquatic center renovation
A proposal to renovate the Aquatic Center will go before the board Wednesday. Funding for this project would come from a special reserve, the Facilities Reserve Fund. This fund is already in the budget and is not new money. “We put money away for anticipated problems, so it is available if a light standard falls down (which actually occurred Feb. 10),” Silverman said. “The aquatic center has reached the level of the light standards.” At Wednesday’s meeting, Silverman will present a business plan that will support the recommendation. “This is a good use of money,” he said. Six applications have been turned in. The applicants are Jim Zordich, Beverly Russell, Harry DeWolf, Kurt Engelstad, Steven Lewis and Amy Staples. Following these presentations, the board will vote. If one candidate receives four votes, they will take the oath of office. According to Silverman, however, if no candidate receives four votes, the decision will go to the next elections. Bond parameters will also be discussed Wednesday, according to Silverman.
