City commissioners near a solution for the Big Pool as they consider refinancing bonds to save about 50 000 dollars offset by similar sale costs. A proposed renovation would add a kiddie area, 50 meter lanes, deck space, and security features while reshaping the pool image and adding a Friends of the Pool group. Also approved are road and drainage plans for Kohl's and Applebee's development with private funding, plus recognitions for long-time city staff and a city manager evaluation session.
