This latest chapter in Yreka’s effort to develop a public swimming pool follows the council’s return of an $8.5 million state grant to develop a new pool and swim park.
In late July, the City Council put the brakes on the aquatic park project following concerns around its cost projected to balloon well past the $8.5 million.
A proposed aquatic park in Yreka will not move forward as costs rise and the city says it lacks the votes to add a tax to the November ballot to fund it.
