$2.95M bond issue for pool

Wed, 07/21/2021 - 4:00am
Scaled-down pool estimate at $4.26M; private funds, capital budget, possible grants to pay for difference

A $2.95 million bond issue for a new swimming pool will go to the voters in November.

The Humphrey City Council approved the recommendation by the Humphrey Area Aquatic Development Committee to seek a bond issue to help finance the pool.

The estimated total cost of a new pool is $4.26 million after the committee scaled down the size and amenities.

The remaining $1.31 million needed to finance the pool will be made up by money in the city’s capital improvement budget, which is money set aside for a new pool, plus private donations and possible grants. Any grant money or private donations received above the $1.3 million will reduce the amount of the bond issue.
