HAVEN, Kan. — The situation at the Haven City Pool went from bad to worse recently. After the city council approved spending more than $300,000 to fix the issues with the pool, it was discovered that there was more damage to the pool than first thought.
The damage to the zero entry area and the rest of the pool are part of a legal battle that continues between the original contractor brought in to renovate the pool and the City of Haven. During Tuesday’s city council meeting the Haven City Council approved seeking bids to repair the new issues that were discovered.
Meanwhile, mediation continues between the two parties to settle the legal entanglements with the pool, which has now been closed for three summers. The matter was discussed in executive session on Tuesday.
Also Tuesday, the council went back and forth regarding the extended use of golf carts on city streets. Currently golf carts are allowed during the day and side by sides and similar vehicles are allowed at night if properly equipped.
During the meeting a motion was made to allow golf carts after sunset which failed by a vote of 2-3. Then, the council approved allowing golf carts during extended hours during the holidays only. How that will work is yet to be determined. An ordinance will need to be drawn up to make it official.
That ordinance is expected to go before the council at a future meeting.
