City pushing for aquatic center

The City Council on Tuesday is expected to authorize the city manager to sign an agreement with the city's architectural firm to design an aquatic center.

The proposed aquatic center would be built behind the Highland Athletic Center on Central Avenue and would be between 20,000 to 25,000 square feet. It would include a competition swimming pool, recreational features, showers and changing rooms.

Alternativer energy options, including solar panels, will be considered during the design process to ensure the building is environmentally friendly.
