Capital Measure for a New Community Pool Fails

November General Election results are in and while not certified until later this month, it is unlikely that Proposition 1 will reach the required 60% super majority to pass. On behalf of District staff and Commissioners, Thank You to everyone who voted.

This outcome is disappointing news to the majority of our District voters who have been in support of a new community pool for several years. The Park District will continue to work with residents to determine the future of public aquatic services in our community. The concerns regarding the condition of Si View Pool remain unchanged. After 85 years in service, every aspect of the pool is on borrowed time. The fact that our community has outgrown the pool also remains unchanged. Repairing or remodeling a facility that is too small to meet the needs of the community is not justifiable investment.

A new pool has been one of the top priorities in all surveys that the District has conducted, and nearly 60% of residents have voted in favor of a new pool in three separate proposals in 2020, 2022, and 2023. This strong support has been the driving force in exploring options for the community. We will continue to develop solutions that provide our residents access to aquatic programs until our resources are no longer adequate to sustainably do so. One upcoming change is the updated registration policy, allowing District residents priority registration for aquatic programs during open enrollment. More information about priority registration is available here.
