Why it matters
The city is seeking voter approval through Propositions A and Q to authorize the issuance of $34.5 million in bonds for the new facility. City leadership stated that repairing the existing 30-year-old pool facility is not cost-effective, noting the current facility leaks over 27,000 gallons of water per day.
