A notice of motion was tabled by Deputy Mayor Luke Charbonneau, which seeks to direct staff to recommend a process that will allow council to reach a decision on the fate of the Port Elgin Centennial Pool by August of this year.
Charbonneau says it's important that council determine the fate of the 40-year old indoor pool, given the pool requires nearly $1.5-million in critical repairs and council has yet to determine if the pool will be staying open for the long term.
With 2015 budget talks set to resume this morning, Charbonneau says he will not be supporting a staff request to spend $900,000 this year to replace the dehumidification system at the Centennial Pool.
Charbonneau's motion will be placed on the January 26th council agenda for consideration.
