I won't be at the meeting tonight.Attached is the finance report from Bethany.
We talked last month about looking at a change to the pricing at our pool. No other city charges as we do. Most
expect a summer membership per person. We let people buy the passes that continue for years at the same
price of$1.50 each.
I understand we would need to talk to the YMCA after school summer program and the day care centers who
did a great job supporting our pool this year.They may not come back if it gets too expensive.
Whatever we decide we need to do it by the end of the year so that we can be ahead of the season and the city
office can reprint what we will need.We should include Kelly on this conversation since she knows what's been
said by the families.
