Summary
The 2018 referendum provides $900,000 a year, but a replacement Legion Pool is now projected at $10.5 million — leaving a $5.2 to $7.3 million hole. Council members want to move faster and are floating general fund money, bonding, sponsorships, and asking neighboring communities to chip in. No decision was made; staff will bring back options.

Impact analysis
Replacing Legion Pool would cost about $10.5 million, and the city is $5.2-7.3 million short of what the referendum money can cover.
Swimmers across De Pere — especially families who rely on Legion Pool as an accessible, community-style pool — would benefit from a replacement.
Residents keep waiting for the pool they voted for in 2018, and every year of delay raises costs and repair bills.
