Why not a Partnership!!  City pays a little more money each year than current operating budget to help operate the WECRD year-round pool.  Saves the City time and money on design fees to build a new City pool.  Tax money will go to support one aquatic facility in town instead of two.  Shows the Community a truly powerful “One Town One Team” motto.  After 17 years, the community would have the recreation facility it has always wanted.  WECRD would work with the City on developing the remaining property to include tennis courts, soccer fields, or whatever is needed for the community and City to be a better place for recreation. Combine resources instead of duplication!!!
