Jean E. Brink Pool joint-use agreement
Summary
The budget would phase out city pool programs — the $154,000 cut is only half a year; the full program costs about $300,000 a year. The 50-year joint agreement with Jefferson Union ends January 2027, when the pool reverts to the school district. Residents overwhelmingly demanded the program be saved; the council agreed to study alternatives first.
