Why not a Partnership!! City pays a little more money each year than current operating budget to help operate the WECRD year-round pool. Saves the City time and money on design fees to build a new City pool. Tax money will go to support one aquatic facility in town instead of two. Shows the Community a truly powerful “One Town One Team” motto. After 17 years, the community would have the recreation facility it has always wanted. WECRD would work with the City on developing the remaining property to include tennis courts, soccer fields, or whatever is needed for the community and City to be a better place for recreation. Combine resources instead of duplication!!!
