Come on, Saline City Council! What is it going to take for you to support this wonderful facility!?! Does it have to burn to the ground after which you can spend tens of millions of dollars building a new facility (rather than much less maintaining the one you have)? Does the safety of members have to be jeopardized (as it was here) . . . . or worse?
Rec Center employees have been doing their absolute best to address ongoing mechanical issues in the Aquatic Center and members have been patience despite what seems to be limited support from the City and Council. Enough already. Give the folks here AND the resident members a safe and reliable place to swim and workout already! Approve the funding for equipment replacement as needed to address this ongoing issue AND for ongoing regular maintenance of and upgrades to the facility to avoid these types of situations!
