to start a discussion on how to move forward with the pool getting the community’s input on what it wants “We need to start this discussion now,” she said Talk of the Crookston Community Swimming Pool’s future was spurred by a council resolution to replace its heat exchanger and when he tapped on it to see its condition The estimated cost of replacing the exchanger is $17,852.18 is donating $10,000 to help cover the cost The pool also has three underwater lights in need of repair and replacement The city discussed what repairs to focus on as the costs of everything would leave the city with only a few thousand dollars left for the pool budget for the year parks operation manager for Crookston Parks and Recreation said it wouldn’t be harmful to defer the light and tile fixes until the next budget year to ensure the heat exchanger is replaced “I’ve watched how deferred maintenance has worked at four different colleges we’ll get her next year,’ and then eventually you get to where you’re just tearing the building down and starting over.” The council approved the repair for the heat exchanger and spoke more about getting community thoughts on the future of the pool or other community center said she has experience with grant writing and research during her career and has a business administration degree She said she’d be happy to get involved with the future of the pool as her first post-retirement project The pool and other community-based activities are among the reasons — along with the hospital system — she and her husband chose to live in Crookston in their retirement “I think this is a really worthy cause,” she said more of the community’s going to go away as a community The empty buildings break my heart in this town CROOKSTON, Minn. --Junior Anna
