Extra 3 months at Municipal Pool to cost less
Extra 3 months at Municipal Pool to cost less
The three extra months the Municipal Pool will remain open for will cost around $40,000 less, following revision of the figures supplied to last week’s Council meeting where the Pool’s immediate future was considered.
A checking of the figures has found the cost for staffing at the Pool was calculated incorrectly, and should have been $14,500 instead of $54,000 for the additional April-end of June extension. All other figures have been peer reviewed and confirmed correct.
Community General Manager Lance Vervoort says: “While this error is regretted, it does mean keeping the Municipal Pool open for these extra three months will cost ratepayers $40,000 less than we originally expected.”
