## Resource

The city commission voted to keep the Community Building open until the end of 2026, funding part-time staff at $39,000 to cover the remainder of the year. While usage data shows the building drew over 6,800 visits by May — surpassing two other centers combined — commissioners are holding off on 2027 plans, citing incomplete data and wanting to see how new fees play out. Membership revenue sits at 59% of its annual goal, with some areas like tournament fees looking strong while monthly memberships dip, making long-term projections tricky. The commission’s priority? Wait for more data before making any big decisions. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
