Just before press time for this issue of Smoke Signals, Tribal Council
was presented the results of the membership survey for a Community Pool.
Grand Ronde Tribal members returned 824 valid surveys expressing
their opinions about the possibility of building a community pool in Grand
Ronde.
The results were very close with 51.6 percent of respondents supporting
the development of a pool and 48.4 percent opposed. Survey responses came
from Tribal members living in more than 30 states and one foreign country.
Carl Sherwood, principal with Robertson Sherwood Architects in Eugene,
also presented to Tribal Council the findings of the firm’s feasibility study
for the Community Fitness/Recreation Pool. Contracted by the Tribal
government to inform a decision about whether a pool is affordable and
practical, the study provided detailed information about three different pool
scenarios, including how much each would cost to construct and operate.
Estimated costs to construct the facility range from slightly more than
$4.5 million to less than $7.5 million and operating costs – including ev-
erything from staffing to heat and water treatments – range from a low of
more than $171,000 to a high of just less than $350,000 annually.
Because the Grand Ronde community is smaller than most communities
that operate a pool, the revenue projections are low – less than 15 percent
of operating costs.
Tribal General Manager Dave Fullerton said, “Tribal Council wanted to
make sure the membership had a snapshot of the findings of the survey
and study in this edition of the paper – and we will get more detailed re-
sults out during the April 3 General Council meeting, on the website and
in future meetings.”
