Council to Receive Update on Pool Reconstruction

The Medford City Council will receive an update Tuesday on the status of the reconstruction of the Medford High School indoor pool.

The update will take place during a committee of the whole meeting at 6 p.m. in room 207 of Medford City Hall. Here is what they have on tap for the whole evening, including their regular meeting at 7 p.m. in the Howard F. Alden Auditorium.

The council has invited Mayor Michael McGlynn, Budget Director Stephanie Muccini Burke, owners project manager John Buckley and Medford Public School Superintendent Roy Belson to discuss the reconstruction.

A total of $2.4 million was approved by the council in early 2012 for the pool, which has been closed since 2008.

The funding was approved in two votes, one for a $1.9 million bond and another to use over $400,000 in insurance settlement money to fund the reconstruction.
