Since This Would Be a Public Pool Facility Built with Our Taxes, Will It Be Free for Shoreline Residents to Use?
The Quick Answer
No. Residents who want to use the pool will have to pay a daily or monthly access fee, and schools and other organizations will need to pay rental fees for use of the facilities. Organized activities such as swim lessons will cost extra.
The amount of those fees and charges has not yet been determined. The City plans to set them so as to cover 66% of the operating and maintenance costs or about $4.7 million per year. All taxpayers would then continue to pay the estimated $1.5 million shortfall of those annual operating and maintenance costs.
