Nazareth Residents Can Make Splash at Special Pool Meeting

Nazareth residents will have a chance to give their input into the borough's next municipal pool.

Nazareth Borough Council is holding an "informal meeting" at council chambers at 7 p.m. Thursday to discuss the next steps now that the Boro-Park Pool will be closed for the 2013 summer season.

Council President Dan Chiavaroli announced in a press release "that all borough residents who have an interest in our pool's future are strongly encouraged to attend and be heard."

The council voted earlier this month to close its 74-year-old deteriorated pool permanently and also opted not to make a quick fix that might have it open for part of the summer.

Representatives from Wallover Associates, the borough's pool consultant, and borough officials will be on hand at Thursday's meeting to discuss the pool's future and listen to residents' concerns and suggestions during a question-and-answer session.

The issues that will be addressed include:

• Possible design features
• Compliance requirements
• Changes to the Bathhouse
• Potential plans for pool

Chiavaroli said that borough officials want to incorporate residents' ideas and concerns as it proceeds on plans for a new municipal pool.

He said all opinions will be heard as the borough moves foward.
