During the August 19, 2026, City Council Meeting, City Council unanimously approved a resolution to place an item related to the Orchard Mesa Pool on the November 2026 ballot.
The item will give voters an opportunity to decide on the future of the Orchard Mesa Pool and the potential funding necessary to support its continued operation. The ballot item follows City Council discussion about the pool’s current and future needs, including the costs associated with maintaining and operating the facility. The measure would increase the City's sales and use tax rate to 3.46%, currently 3.39%, then reduce the rate by 0.04% once full repayment has been met. A question was placed on the 2026 Community Satisfaction survey and identified in favor of including the item on the ballot. Residents can watch the full City Council discussion and review the meeting materials on the Agendas and Minutes webpage.
