Bids out for new pool

The Town of Ekalaka recently sent out pool bids/proposal requests and is anxiously awaiting responses. After this process is completed the town may then select a pool contractor. Once the contractor is selected, additional details will come on the design of the pool.

It is anticipated that the pool will still be an outdoor pool located in the same area as the current pool. Current funds available for construction are: $48,354.58, town’s restricted cash new pool account; $108,531.43, pool committee funds; $11,945.20, Lions Club funds; and $12,003.06, Meadowlark Club funds. Total funding for a new pool is currently $180,834.27. When that is added to the $150,000 Fish, Wildlife and Parks grant that was approved, there is a total of $330,834.27 available to build a new pool in Ekalaka. To support the pool committee’s efforts, raffle tickets are currently available at local businesses.
