North Vancouver City
council’s resolve to build a
replacement for the out-
dated Mahon swimming
pool waivered Monday as
some council members
became unsure exactly what
they wanted. -.

Almost a year ago, City
council decided to build an
open-air pool in the Lower
Lonsdale area to replace the
pool in Mahon Park, and
Monday evening started with
the intention of hiring a
consultant to plan the new
pool.

But instead, council voted
to ask the City engineer to
draft a resolution whereby
the consultant would first

report on whether one large
pool] or a number of smaller
pools would better serve the
City.

Alderman Stella Jo Dean
started the move away from
council's earlier decision by
saying she felt an’ indoor
pool would be better.

Then Alderman Gordon
Cross suggested that because
of declining attendance at
North Shore pools, maybe
“we have come to the end of
people’s desires to have
outdoor swimming pools of

this type.”

He felt that “a little bit of
innovative thought” should
be put into finding alter-
natives to a single outdoor

pool.

He suggested a number of
small wading pools might be
the answer.

Both Aldermen Frank
Marcino and Gary Payne
called the idea “silly” but
some other aidermen
supported Cross in at least
looking at the concept

A deadlock was reached
over whether to have a
consultant prepare plans for
a number of small pools as
well 2s one pool,.so council
decided to send the matter
back to staff.

The end result will be that
a consultant will give an
expert opinion on which
type of pool will better serve
City residents.
