Board approves fundraiser-backed motion to replace pool-house floors

A parks board member moved to fund new pool-house floors through organized fundraising and community events, and the board adopted the proposal by voice vote.

Members discussed specifics for a golf fundraiser, suggested sponsorship and raffle baskets, and estimated a likely net of several thousand dollars if organized with local business support. Ideas included late September or early October timing, vendor participation and prize baskets to maximize proceeds.

During the motion item a member said, "I'll make a motion to have new floors of the pool," and the board proceeded to a voice vote. The transcript records "All in favor?" and a vocal assent; no individual vote tallies or a formal roll call are recorded in the meeting text.

The motion was framed as a targeted, community-driven way to address a repair need the board said cannot be funded from current capital reserves. Board members noted fundraising should specify a project (for example, "new pool floors") so donors know the purpose and to avoid optics concerns about fundraising for routine municipal services.

Next steps recorded in the discussion included forming a small volunteer fundraising team, reserving potential event dates and clarifying how raised funds would be deposited into the parks account; the board did not record a calendar date or an exact fundraising target in the transcript.
