A plan to offer free admission at Rochester’s two outdoor public swimming pools this summer will face a decision Monday.
The Rochester City Council will be asked to approve $70,000 to eliminate the $4 and $5 fees for Silver Lake and Soldiers Field pools.
The proposal follows a council decision earlier this month to provide $45,000 to reopen and operate the Silver Lake facility for one more year. The funds will come from the council’s contingency fund, which has a balance of nearly $840,000 of the approximately $1 million set aside at the beginning of the year.
