Last summer, the City of Farmer City had a collaboration with the Clinton YMCA for the management of its pool.
It was a great partnership both entities seemed happy with but due to unforeseen circumstances, the partnership will not happen this year. That's according to City Manager Sue McLaughlin who - on the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday - told Regional Radio the city now needs a manager for the pool this summer.
It was just a few summers ago, Farmer City could not open its pool because of a staff shortage. At this point, McLaughlin is not ready to say they will not open for the season because there's plenty of time to find someone.
The Farmer City pool will target a Memorial Day weekend opening. McLaughlin indicates they will have to determine what staffing looks like as they get to the start of school again in the fall for the pool's status later in the season.
McLaughlin points anyone interested in being a lifeguard this summer or managing the pool for a few months to check out the City of Farmer City Facebook page for more information.
