Clay Center to vote on pool propositions next Tuesday

BY ASHLEY D. SWANSON

Two propositions from Clay Center will appear on the Nov. 6 ballot.

Proposition No. 1: Bond issue for new pool; Proposition No. 2: 1/2 cent sales tax to service the bond for the pool project.

The current Clay Center Pool is 60 years old, being constructed in 1958, and was originally designed to last about 25 years before updates would be needed.

Along with excessive water leakage, the pool has a number of issues that have come with age, including the need of a filter system replacement, where the parts are obsolete; the pool currently does not meet ADA accessibility standards; and the decking is beginning to sink, causing extra safety issues.
