YMCA to staff Pomona city pools this summer

POMONA - The city and the YMCA of Pomona Valley will enter into an
agreement that is expected to save Pomona money on the operation of
its summer aquatics programs.

City Council members voted in favor of entering into an agreement
with the organization that will save the city between $20,000 to
$22,000 this summer, according to a city staff report.

The city will pay the organization about $94,000 to offer swimming
lessons, daily recreational swimming activities and provide staff for
pool rentals and special events at the Ganesha and Washington park
pools, the report said.

City staff would continue being responsible for the maintenance of
the pools and the adjoining facilities.

Depending on the success of the pilot program the city and the YMCA
could enter similar agreements for these services in the future, the
report said.
