Admission price brings in a small portion of what is needed each summer to run the pool.

The city pool is in need of extra funding to maintain its operation this year.

On last week's WBEX Sounding Board Show, Mayor Jack Everson said he is trying to find was to continue funding the Donald M. Smith Memorial Pool, including reaching out to local businesses and coordinating with the YMCA to add more pool programs.

The pool needs $160,000 to operate each year, but only brings in around $50,000 in revenue.

The pool is currently undergoing needed maintenance and repairs. If the weather permits repairs to be completed on time, the pool is scheduled to open on Memorial Day Weekend.
