Dear Anuli,
 
Thank you for conveying to me SA Resolution #46: Support of a New Natatorium (Pool) in the 'Do the Greatest Good' Campaign.
 
As our pools age, we have had increasing maintenance problems. Several years ago, just prior to the pandemic, we invested $1.1 million in them to stabilize and extend their lifespan.
 
We are aware of this ongoing, and expensive, problem, and Athletics has a long-range space planning exercise underway. We don’t yet have a long-term solution, but we are actively considering how we might address the issue including, potentially, creative funding approaches.  
 
Sincerely,
 
Martha E. Pollack
