The Fredonia City Commission is ensuring the water slides at the pool will continue to run.
At their meeting last night, commissioners approved the purchase of a motor to replace the broken and obsolete equipment that runs the water slides at the pool. It was discovered that the original motor was undersized to begin with and the seals are no longer manufactured as the company is out of business. Commissioners approved just over $18,000 for the new motor. Speaking in general about the pool, commissioner Bill Jones says he doesn't know of any city pools that make money.
The watersides are currently running thanks to a temporary fix.
In other business, the commission voted to schedule a public hearing to consider adopting a budget that exceeds the revenue neutral rate, which is scheduled for September 6th at 5 p.m. An agreement for a school resource officer for USD 484 was also approved, with 75% of the salary to be paid by the district and 25% to be paid by the city. City supervisory also gave their quarterly reports to the commission.
