šāāļø Pool at Risk: Emergency Decision Needed
š„ Fire damaged Rossland Outdoor Pool equipment in June 2025
ā ļø Pool operated on backup systems all summer
ā Without action: Pool could close in 2026
Council must decide whether to spend $31,800 to replace critical boilers or risk losing this community amenity entirely.
š„ How We Got Here
šāāļø Fire in mechanical room destroyed one of two pool boilers
ā” Pool managed to operate 2025 season on single remaining boiler
ā ļø Operating with one boiler beyond 2025 creates high failure risk
š„ How We Got Here
š§ Age of existing systems makes replacing just one boiler very difficult
š ļø Staff recommend replacing both boilers for operational certainty
š° The Investment Required
Should Council approve spending $39,300 to replace the pool boilers and ensure the outdoor pool stays open, or are there other infrastructure priorities you'd prefer the City focus on?
