Haven City Council still working on legal matters regarding pool

HAVEN, Kan. — The Haven City Council met in executive session but took no action on the continued legal matters connected to the city pool.

The city and contractor have been in a legal entanglement ever since renovations to the pool did not fix the aquatic center's problems. That, combined with the pandemic, has left the pool closed for three seasons.

Also Monday night, the council approved spending $15,000 for utility pole and wire in order to have a supply in what are fluctuating prices which is making it difficult to get bids for such materials.

Also on Monday, Haven City Clerk Leslie Atherton told department heads that with inflation and other factors, departments will be asked to hold spending to 2022 levels for the 2023 budget. Atherton hopes to have most of the budget requests in her office by May 2.
