City urged to place pool management with Rec Commission
Garden City officials debated whether the Garden City Rec Commission should assume control of the municipal pool. Rec executive John Washington stated readiness, but board president Daryl Rindt argued the pool should remain with the city due to location and growth, complicating a shift in management. The pool needs major improvements and stronger oversight, given the city owns the land, funds mill levy, and provides insurance, suggesting commissioners should press the Rec Commission to accept pool management.
