Grand Traverse County commissioners voted 6-1 Wednesday to have the Grand Traverse Bay YMCA take over management of Easling Pool beginning January 2016. Commissioner Ron Clous opposed the proposal.
Under the agreement terms, the county will pay the YMCA a $50,000 annual management fee, a cost that will be reduced on a sliding scale as memberships accrue. Once the YMCA hits 700 annual memberships, the fee will be eliminated entirely; the organization predicts it can hit that number within three years. The YMCA will pay all pool operational costs, and will assume utility costs for the facility once memberships reach 400. The move is expected to reduce the county's Parks and Recreation budget by roughly $250,000 in 2016. More .. click below
