Good News for the Pool

Mayor Hakes, supported by Councilors Kennedy and Sivertson, Mike Roth, Kim Dunsmoor and Dave Tersteeg, came before the County Board this morning to ask the County Commissioners to re-affirm their March 2009 committment to partner with the City in financing the operation and maintenance of the Grand Marais Pool. (See Mayor Minutes March 4, 2009).

After a brief discussion, the County Board agreed to share 1/3 of the Pool's Operating Deficit for the Year 2009. They also agreed to share 1/3 of the Year 2010 Pool Operating Deficit up to $75,000. Both the City Council and the County Board recognize the Pool as an important community asset.
