Escalating Costs Projected for Pool Redevelopment
At Monday’s meeting (last item on the agenda), City Manager Stewart will report on escalating cost projections for the pool redevelopment. The projected cost increases are in the millions of dollars—above and beyond the $15.4 million dollar plan approved by voters last fall.
The three options being presented to Council for how to respond include not only increased spending, but the possible elimination of key features and amenities (such as the splash pad, benched seating, curved features of the activity pool), as well as reduced pool sizes, changed architecture from what was presented to the ARB/MPC, or, if no additional funding is provided, the elimination of all or part of one of the pools, e.g., the entire adult pool.
I’ve copied the entire Staff Memorandum related to the pools below for reference. This can also be viewed at the City’s website (pages 90-92): https://worthington.org/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/6362
