Ray Williamson Pool Rehabilitation

On May 2, 2024 the board unanimously passed a resolution that authorizes a $10 million bond measure to go before voters. In a follow-up board discussion on May 16th, the board passed a motion by a majority vote, 4-1, clarifying the intent of the use of up to the $10 million of bond funding with the following statement:
“Should the Ray Williamson pool renovation bond measure created through Resolution 2024-04 be approved by the voters on the August 6, 2024 ballot, then the board hereby clarifies that its intent is to expand the Ray Williamson pool to an eight-lane width and create an even depth of 6.5 feet so long as the construction is financially feasible.”

If passed, the bond measure would:

• Complete all Phase 1 upgrades to architectural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and safety systems; replace pool deck.
• Replace pool shell and underlying plumbing.
• Expand the existing pool, adding two additional swimming lanes.
• Create a consistent pool depth to increase safety and meet user needs.

What would the proposed bond measure cost if it passes?

• Estimated bond tax rate of $0.06 per $1,000 of assessed property value.
• The owner of a home assessed at $1,000,000 would pay $60 per year or $5 per month.

What will happen if the proposed bond measure does not pass?

• The Ray Williamson Pool will be renovated in its current configuration.
