Pool consultant questions
Excerpted from today's Herald (by Josh Morgan):
"We would like to see the public help subsidize programs... but not the pool operations."
"I would like to get a bigger part of the population using the pool year round, not just seasonally."
- John McIlhargy, USA Swimming Pool Consultant
$20,000 for that?
"The Commission asked if (the pool consultant) could look at the costs of (energy-efficient) structures, and report back to the commission. Meus (an architect with the consultant) said he would do that for their next meeting."
Huh? I thought that's why we had a deadline for the pool report? Wasn't this report supposed to be completed in time for the operating budget? Or was it supposed to be completed in time for the capital budget? No... I'm positive it was supposed to be the operating budget. Maybe it was supposed to be completed for next year's operating budget?
Perhaps we should have used the report that was provided to the town by the Energy Commission (largely by Bill Kunde), at no cost.

Bill Kunde makes more sense and costs a lot less.
Did I hear the "consultant" suggest further consulting was needed? I guess not..yet.
We have an Energy Commission. Why??? if we aren't going to listen to them.
I can't wait to see the "anonymous" comments coming up on this.
Based on the fact the Town Manager has included in his Capital Budget $125,000 for the the reverse flow system, the Town will contact the designer of the system to obtain a valid quote to install the system in our facility. As the cost is below the referendum number then approval by the voters is not required.
This is going to continue to be a white elephant. Why would anyone want to join the pool when you constantly read about mold and bacteria problems.
It was my opinion the pool consultant would have included in their report energy efficiency related opportunities. They were given a copy of the pool report done by the Energy Commission. That report outlined several options for energy savings and included budgetary pricing for each item. Some of the items were a metal structure, polycarbonate glass structure, dehumidification systems, reverse flow, pool cover and a few more.
There was a pool counsultant? Why?
