Comments, Discussion, Next Steps

Review all of the comments and work with engineering firms to bid the cost of a new pool. Get bids on a new pool built at existing location with demolition of existing pool, demolition of Old High School and building new pool, at a location south of High School, consideration of any other locations. Develop finance options once we have a good idea of cost. Create a time table with the finance options and construction. Hold a public meeting on the plans. Go to organizations and groups and begin explaining and answering questions regarding the project.
