Commission weighs pool plan and weekly trash pickup
City commissioners discuss adding a pool on the east or west side and smaller south end slides as part of a planned water park. Garden City swimmers already use Hays Aquatic Park, which cost 4.2 million dollars and opened in 2000, with a three-section pool, diving area, and lazy river. The town faces trash collection changes, gasoline cost spikes, and openness of certain meetings under the Kansas Open Meetings Act.
