Subject: Plunge Renovation
Dear Councilmembers
I understand that you will discuss the potential renovations to the Plunge at the March 5
meeting. I encourage you to move forward with the project as quickly as possible. It is a
valuable community resource that we desperately need, as evidenced by the high demand
for pool space at Wiseburn.
It is amenities such as the Plunge which make our community so desirable to live
in. Having two aquatic facilities -one which focuses on recreational swim, swim lessons,
and physical therapy, and one for competition - will enable residents at all levels to enjoy
water activities.
It is a smaller facility, on a limited footprint, which has an historic facade that honors an
important part of our community. Replacing it would set the project back years, if not
decades, with all the studies and analysis that would be required, with no guarantee of
ever having a new facility. Any new facility would likely require a larger lot size, which is
unlikely in an area that is already in high use.
Please utilize all of the studies that have been done to date and move forward with this
project.
Thank you,
Tesse Rasmussen
Resident
