Mt. Lebanon Board Weighs Pool Options

For the first time since three new members have been elected, Mt. Lebanon commissioners reviewed the options facing them regarding the swimming pool and a possible aquatic center at the April 14 discussion session.

The topic of a pool, natatorium, wellness center or joint pool project with the school district has been discussed on and off for years.

Mt. Lebanon commissioners hired the consulting firm of Counsilman-Hunsaker in 2006 at a cost of $32,430 to evaluate the wants, needs and possibilities for an aquatic center for the community. Kevin Post from Counsilman-Hunsaker presented the board with four different options in terms of a new aquatic center.

Lebo: Final Report On Aquatic Center

From today's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette South Neighborhoods News Briefs:

Residents will get a final report from independent aquatic center consultant Scot Hunsaker at a meeting scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Jan. 16 at Mt. Lebanon Recreation Center. Mr. Hunsaker, a principal in Counsilman-Hunsaker, of St. Louis and Los Angeles, has conducted a $32,000 feasibility study for an aquatic center that would replace Mt. Lebanon's 30-year-old, outdoor swimming pool. At the January meeting, Mr. Hunsaker will present his final report. The decision will then rest with the municipal commission.
