$50 million for a pool?! For those of us who are established here, many of us are getting taxed out. The city is already having trouble maintaining its financial and social responsibilities.

What is the cost of repairing the existing pool, adding another 20 years of life?
And, so what if the roof leaks -- it's a POOL!
If there are structural problems with the roof, then fix just what's required for safety.
To PT and BOCC and everyone else trying to pick our pockets:
Pay attention to the rapidly growing number of NO PT POOL TAX signs that are sprouting throughout the area (including in the city).
County property owners will not support this $50 million mistake, and I suspect a lot of PT people will not want to pay $500 per year in added property tax PLUS higher sales taxes to build a facility that is used by about 80 people per day.
