Recreation and Parks Committee for 6/29/2026

The City of Troy, Ohio Recreation and Parks Committee met on June 29, 2026, to discuss the ongoing improvements to the Choy Aquatic Park. The committee reviewed bids for the pool repair and renovation project, which came in significantly higher than the original estimate—around $2.4 million compared to the initial $1.7 million authorization. The increase was attributed to inflation, supply chain issues, and higher material costs such as steel and fencing. The committee unanimously recommended rebidding the project with a maximum authorization of $2.5 million to keep the project on schedule for completion between the 2026 and 2027 pool seasons. The scope includes pool shell repairs, joint replacements, pump house upgrades, heater replacement, and repainting slides. Discussion also covered potential fee adjustments for residents and non-residents to help offset costs, with a suggestion for the recreation board to explore this further. Public safety concerns were raised, emphasizing the importance of timely maintenance to avoid mechanical failures. No final vote was recorded, but the committee agreed to proceed with rebidding and further study of fee structures.
