Resident Rose Murtaugh asked about the status of Memorial Pool. Pres. Callahan said we knew we had a problem over there because of it leaking. There is a huge leak and we don’t have the money to fix it. Aquatics is changing and we may not have a need for 3 pools. We are trying to find a solution, discussing the possibility of having a splash pad. We will keep Central and Centennial Pools open. Memorial Pool will be closed this year – it has been leaking 32,000 gallons. That pool was designed to last 30 years and it has been open for 36 years. The baby pool will remain open. Kelly asked Mrs. Murtaugh her opinion of a splash pad and Mrs. Murtaugh said it would be primarily for boys and older children. Board said at the March 8th regular meeting there will be a presentation about the splash pad. ADJOURN:
