Pool project ahead of schedule

October 13, 2009|By Keith Taylor

It won't be long before the indoor pool at College Park will be under one roof.

The Winchester-Clark County Parks and Recreation Board heard an update on the structure during its monthly meeting Monday night at College Park Gym.

The project is 23 days ahead of schedule on the outside, and approximately 30 days behind on the inside portion, but board chairman Charlie Eury said the project is moving ahead at full speed. Construction officials are "optimistic" the project will be "finished ahead of time."

Eury said the excavation of the regulation pool is 85 percent completed and will be finished within the next 30 days. In addition, Eury said workers are hopeful a roof will be on the structure by Thanksgiving, which will speed up inside work on the project.

In other business the board:

— approved a request from the Winchester Civitan for use of College Park Gym for the upcoming season. The gym will be used three nights per week and all day each Saturday from Nov. 3 until Feb. 27.

— gave permission to the Towne and Country Homemakers to use a meeting room at College Park Gym 6:30-8:30 p.m. for a silent auction on Nov. 3

— voted to replace the current copying machines, which will save the board an estimated $900 per year.

— approved a request from Parks and Recreation Director Geri Remley and Aquatics Manager/Programmer Mandy Faulconer to attend the KRPS convention.

— announced the retirement of office assistant Betty Curry, effective on Dec. 1. Curry has been employed for 11 years.

— voted to replace a swing set at College Park.
