Fees

• The type of membership chosen determines dues.  Monies collected from dues are applied to the pool's operating budget to cover the cost of salaries, operating expenses, and taxes.  The capital contribution is a one-time non-refundable assessed to meet costs of major repairs, maintenance, and improvements to the pool equipment and grounds.  Beginning with the 1998 pool season, the capital contribution is $600.  This amount is payable in $120 installments over the first five years, but not necessarily consecutive years, of membership.  Those members whose membership was initiated under a prior plan of capital contribution will continue to contribute under original terms.
• Dues and capital contribution must be paid in full by April 15.  After April 15, dues increase $15.00 for all members.

Sign-in and Guest Policy
