A meeting in May has been slated by the “Save the Pool” group, a community-led, informal committee formed, according to its organizers, to “keep the public informed of the value of Whitewater’s beloved Aquatic and Fitness Center.”
The group held its initial meeting in April.
An earlier story published by Fort Atkinson Online about the group’s April meeting is here: https://fortatkinsononline.com/save-the-pool-community-members-assemble-regarding-aquatic-center-negotiations/.
The group’s next meeting will be held Wednesday, May 17, at 6 p.m., at the Cravath Lakefront Community Center, 341 S. Fremont St., Whitewater.
According to information released by committee organizers, the meeting will focus on “issues raised” during the most recent meeting of the Whitewater Aquatic and Fitness Center Subcommittee, which was held Thursday in the council chambers of the Whitewater Municipal Building.
The subcommittee is composed of representatives from the two negotiating bodies, the Whitewater Unified School District and the Whitewater city government.
The group is charged with negotiating a lease and operating agreement between the two parties.
Within the release, Save the Pool organizing member Jeff Knight described the two negotiating parties as “(further) apart than ever,” adding: “it is urgent for people to come to our meeting to hear the issues that were raised and to advocate for an adequate solution.”
