The city of Grand Junction is in discussions with Mesa County and School District 51 to extend funding for the operations of Orchard Mesa Pool through 2022.
Over the course of several meetings in the winter of 2020 the three partners agreed to continue funding the pool through 2021, Grand Junction Parks and Recreation Director Ken Sherbenou said. That agreement has the city and county splitting the cost for operations and District 51 paying for utilities.
âWe are looking at seven months from now, or six months and 20 days, where the current funding arrangement would run out,â Sherbenou said. âThatâs why we felt it would be good to look at extending it for another year.â
