Council to consider Columbia Pool final project Revision of Elected Officials’ Handbook on agenda The Turlock City Council is expected to consider approving a $6.3 million renovation project of Columbia Pool at their Tuesday meeting (Journal file photo). A revamped Columbia Pool may be one step closer to reality following Tuesday’s Turlock City Council meeting, as the Council is expected to make a decision on how to move forward with the project. In July 2020, the PARC and the Council held a special joint meeting where they were presented with several options for a remodel of Columbia Pool. While the pool is currently closed due to COVID, a facility evaluation study conducted last fall found a total of 18 violations which would keep the pool shut down even without a pandemic. Since the swimming pool was built in 1957, it has undergone minor renovations and facility updates. The pool has only been replastered once, in 1999.
