Koons Pool seeks dollars from LP

Koons Pool representatives went before the Lower Paxton Twp. supervisors Tuesday evening seeking a $5,000 grant to erase a budget deficit from the season that just ended.

The supervisors likely will approve the request if the pool group can document the losses and outline their plans for maintaining the facility, township sources said after the meeting.

Township Supervisor Bill Seeds said that he wants to see the pool become self-sufficient starting next season, especially since pool officials claim they only need 100 family memberships to break even.

The township gave the pool over $10,000 in 2007 that was used to offset regular operating expenses and to replace a pump on an emergency basis.
