Way too expensive. Councilman David Bruegel says the old pools are crumbling, leaking, and unsafe, needing either major repairs or a full rebuild.

No firm plans yet, but an aquatic center for year-round use is on the table. The real challenge? Balancing recreation with essential services like public safety and infrastructure—something the council will need to unite on to make it happen.
