(KLZA)--Pawnee City Council members learned of the discovery of a new problem with the City swimming pool when they met Monday evening.
Premiere Pools, the company hired to make improvements to the pool, discovered a number of voids that will need to be filled in under the pool.
The voids are spaces where the dirt under the pool is gone, creating safety issues for the pool.
It is anticipated the cost to deal with the voids could be an additional $20,000.
Pawnee City received a grant from Nebraska Game and Parks that will reimburse half the amount of the pool upgrades up to nearly $88,000. However the grant money will not be paid until the project is completed.
With Pawnee City having to pay out all of the money for the repairs now, in addition to costs for the new Assisted Living Project being constructed, and engineering fees for the street project, it is creating a shortfall in the City General Fund.
Julie Bauman, CPA met with the Council Monday night to review the cash-flow issue.
The City has also received an inquiry about splitting the estimated cost of paving the alley at the new assisted living facility. The cost is estimated at $20,000.
