Swimming pool discourse

A couple of things to add to the discussion.
I, too, had heard that the committee was still split on the issue up
until the last week when those who were for an outdoor pool demanded an
unanimous committee. While the final vote, for political reasons, may have
been unanimous, there was no consensus reached. If, in fact, this was the
case, then the committee did the community a huge disservice through
pretense.
The committee was charged by the council to look at a new pool. It
was deliberately told not to consider anything but a new pool. If I
remember correctly, a council member assigned to the committee, publicly
stated that an outdoor pool and a bond levy was the only alternative
available, prior to the committee starting its deliberations. What is
unfortunate is that, while a new pool is certainly desirable, it is not the
only recreation need of this community. In accepting the pool committee's
recommendation last Monday, the city council refused to consider any other
alternative than a new pool. It should be a serious concern to the
community to have the pool as the only option discussed when considering
3.6 million dollars of tax money.
Can someone tell me what will be charged city and non-city residents
per entry to the new pool?
Can someone tell me why a piece of property in the city, selling for
$325,000 and a "good deal" at that price, was assessed for only $80,000?
Are there any more properties around like that?
What will happen to the assessed value of land and/or lots if this
sale goes through?
