Officials in North Vernon will need to make a decision soon on what to do about the city’s aging pool. Chad Speer, the city’s parks director, explained to the city council this week what was found with pool’s liner…

Speer says the cost of a new liner would be around $30,000. However, that may not be the answer, due to the condition of the concrete underneath…

The city pool has been at Shields Park for over 50 years, said Speer. He noted that a new pool and bath house would cost around $2 million.

Council members agreed to study the issue.
