rT hy 14- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, June 15, 1999 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" Township will look at options as public pool From page 1 Council last month made the tough decision to close the 60-year-old outdoor pool for good because it would cost about $15,000 in repairs to get it open this sum- mer. And there is no guar- antee that more costly repairs will not be needed in the future. Later in the hour-long meeting, Mrs. Serres, who also has three young children, asked council- lors point-blank what: plans the township has to replace Birdseye with a new pool. Mayor Doug Moffatt responded to the question by suggesting the forma- tion of a new committee of councillors and con- cerned citizens to gauge public interest. The municipality could then take a hard look at the WHEN RESULTS COUNT, CALL YOUR #I TEAM ROBERT & CAROLYN HALL Suthoj office 985-4300 985-7718 residence Sutton Group Lifestyle Real Estate Limited 126 WATER ST., PORT PERRY.

Regional Councillor Ken Gadsden said the committee must also decide whether the town- ship needs an outdoor pool like Birdseye, at a cost of about $100,000, or a much more expensive indoor pool that could run as high as $2.5 million. "We really need to give this a lot of thought, as the demand for a year round (indoor) pool increases," he said. Parks and rec chair- man Ken Carruthers (Ward 2) endorsed the idea of setting up a sub committee to start taking a look at this idea. He said he feels strongly that the community needs a pool. "But we also need to study it closely, perhaps over the next year or so," he said. He said that since the announcement that Birdseye Pool would not open this summer; he has received numerous phone calls from residents want- ing to know what the municipality's plans are. Mrs. Pett told The Star after yesterday's meeting that the $2.5 million price tag for an indoor pool is too high. She noted that a new pool in Bobcaygeon was recently built for about $1.2 million. She said closes Scugog should build an outdoor pool first, then put a cover over it some time in the future. The women were pleased with the response from the committee to start looking at the issue. Mrs. Serres said she had hoped that councillors would have been more specific with plans to replacé Birdseye, rather than setting up a commit- tee "to talk about this for another year or so." But they welcomed the idea of working with com- mittee members to drum up support and find ways to raise funds. They said they do not want the tax- payers of Scugog to have to shoulder the burden of building a new pool. needs volunteers assist in the organizing of this event.
