Danville City officials are optimistic that the new pool will open Memorial Day weekend like planned, but there is no guarantee.
Public Works director Dave Ruwe told the Public Services Committee on Tuesday that despite hard work by everyone there are still things to get done.
City officials also want to make sure the new employees working in the updated facility feel comfortable before the public enters. The pool is being completely rebuilt and includes special features like slides.
The pool will have an inspection from the Department of Public Health next week. The official name of the new pool is the Danville Aquatics Center at Garfield Park.
The committee did vote to approve prices for the pool. The daily pass will be 8 dollars, with those 3 and under free. Passes for non-profit patrons will be 4 dollars. There will be a punch card with 10 admissions for $70. There will be no pool party rates this year.
The committee approved an increase in towing and vehicle storing fees. The rates have not changed since 2009. These rates are only for work the two towing companies do for the city of Danville. It does not affect private towing jobs.
The committee’s actions will go before the full city council next month.
