Title
Request for Funding Entwistle Community Recreation Centre Pool Boiler
Proposed Motion
That Council approve an amount up to $230,000 for boiler replacement at the Entwistle Community Recreation Centre to be funded from Recreation Restricted Surplus.
Body
Administration Recommendation
Administration supports the proposed motion as presented.
Purpose
To fund the replacement of the boiler that heats the Entwistle Outdoor Pool
Summary
Parkland County continues to experience issues with the boiler at the Entwistle Pool, due to the capacity of the equipment compared to the size of the pool. It is recommended that the boiler is replaced with one that is an appropriate size for the pool, rather than continuing to invest in a piece of equipment that will need to be replaced in the near-term, and may cause unnecessary closures of the facility. Parkland County has a cost share agreement with Yellowhead County. If Parkland County Council approves this request, we will request funding under this cost share agreement.
