Aquatics Needs Assessment

1. They need repairs to continue to serve safely and effectively. 2. Significant costs required to rectify code and maintenance items at each facility. Additional dollars needed to modernize or update. 3. Rising construction costs make the total cost of bringing all the facilities back online more unrealistic. 4. Consider consolidating the number of City aquatic facilities to focus on newer and fewer: reduce operating costs and provide residents better experiences Aquatics Needs Assessment
