To account for the construction of a new aquatic center that will be built at the current location of the city pool, City Council approved an amended version of the Intergovernmental Agreement between the city of Coolidge and Coolidge Unified School District.
The latest version of the agreement, which was formed in 1986 with the construction of the city pool on CUSD land and extended in 2016, includes a number of changes to the original IGA that accounts for the expansion of the pool and the associated costs of running the larger facility once construction is complete.
The new aquatic center will be financed through a $5 million general obligation bond, which voters approved last year. When the development of the center was initially proposed in April 2019, city officials said they intended to increase the area the current pool encompasses in the construction to include additional amenities for local residents to enjoy.
