Port Angeles City Council: “Vote Down Our Trillion Dollar Pool?? We’re Gonna Teach You a LESSON”
William Shore Memorial Pool is probably going to close at the end of this year. The City of Port Angeles has its priorities, and closing the pool looks like their way of balancing the budget for 2009.
The Mayor and City Council are saying the closure isn't definite, but pool manager Jayna Lafferty said she was told last Thursday that the pool would be closed either December 31st or June 30th.
The City Council will be holding a meeting on the budget this Wednesday at 5 p.m. The meeting will be at the council chambers, City Hall, 321 East Fifth Street, Port Angeles. There won't be any public comments allowed at this meeting, but pool supporters will probably be attending.
There will be public hearings on the budget on November 4th and 18th.
In November 2006, voters turned down a $13.8 million bond issue to build a new hi-tech pool with every bell and whistle imaginable. Is this payback?
