Washington pool effort

The Washington City Council approved the retainment of a financial advisor to work with them and a committee on the new pool project. The advisor is to look at the funding effort from every angle and give the committee and council advise on the best way to proceed. It seemed like the right thing to do. In fact, city attorney Jason Brinegar said if the council didn't hire a financial advisor, they just as well drop the effort.
I understand not everyone likes the idea of a new pool with amenities in Washington. I suppose the city could just replace the existing pool with a newer rectangle hole in the ground. Whether we like it or not, however, we must progress. We can't put in a new drive-in movie theater when everyone else is putting in indoor movie complexes.
It often seems like the up or down vote hangs with the generation of voters who no longer have children or even grandchildren in the area. Their kids or grandkids are living in the city enjoying indoor water parks and other recreational opportunities. We are a small town, but I'd like that generation to understand that each generation of Washingtonians should be allowed certain amenities during their upbringing. The committee isn't asking for a major waterpark – it is a pool with amenities and it will allow for years of family entertainment in our little town.
