Mayor Shane Schrader read a portion of the board’s report.
The snack shack has been accepting cash and checks but will be setting up a system that will accept debit and credit cards, according to the report.
This is the first summer since the pool was built decades ago that fees are being charged to use the pool.
The fees implemented this year to use the pool are $3 daily for those 3 and up; season passes are also available for $50 each per individual or $80 for a family of four, with additional family members for $20 each.
Seniors and veterans are not charged a fee.

The Buffalo Pool Board is suggesting the implementation of a fee schedule for the use of the outdoor pool in Washington Park, and came before the Buffalo City Council Tuesday evening to seek the council’s approval.
Board member Travis Lawrence explained the board wants to set funds aside for maintenance but also for the inevitable need to replace the pool when it reaches the end of its useful life.
Their suggestion is to implement a per day gate fee, and also have an option for a season pass for families, as well as a club fee, as explained by board member Richard Wonka.
