The Town of Sellersburg Parks Board approved changes to swim‑lesson fees for the 2026 season and recommended budget transfers to the Town Council to fund a pool‑management proposal.
Staff recommended raising group lesson fees from $85 to $100 and private lessons from $130 to $150 to cover increased lifeguard pay and vendor adjustments; the board approved the rate changes by unanimous vote, 4-0.
Separately, staff moved to recommend that the council transfer $12,000 from chemicals, $5,000 from training, $1,500 from uniforms and $65,000 from salary into the appropriate consulting/management line so that the pool management proposal can be paid. The board approved the recommendation 4-0; the transfers were recorded as a recommendation to the council, not a direct appropriation at this meeting.
Board members also discussed promotional and operational details for the coming season, including staffing and whether to offer a free‑swim night. The board agreed to an opening‑day discount (first Saturday only), approving $10 off individual season passes and $20 off family passes; the board declined to schedule a separate free‑swim night at this time.
The board made several procedural approvals earlier in the meeting, including adoption of the agenda, allowance claims, and minutes, all by unanimous votes. Staff will present any required budget transfer ordinances to the council for final approval.
