Summary
The 1966 bathhouse at the pool — which drew 48,000 visitors last year — needs a full rebuild to meet state fixture and ADA requirements and fix rotted roof beams before the 2027 season. It'll cost about $1.77 million from fund balance, with a hoped-for $800,000 land sale on Jefferson expected to offset it.
