The news prompted some councilors to suggest a public swimming pool might be a better option. Meeting with consultants from Saratoga Associates, Council discussed a study on locating a public beach at two possible spots: near the current boat launch site east of the Welcome Center (Option 1), and at Jennings Beach under the Routes 5&20 overpass and railroad tracks west of Lakefront Park (Option 2). The study looked at state Health Department code requirements for a swimming beach, along with other factors. The major issue with Option 1 is the discharge pipe from the city wastewater treatment plant on Doran Avenue. It empties into Marsh Creek, then into the lake near the proposed beach area.
