In its upcoming Feb. 9 meeting, Jersey Village City Council is expected to select a design for a new municipal pool and discuss Phase I of city campus construction, among other action items on the agenda.

The overview: The city presented three pool concepts to community members during a Jan. 6 town hall and collected feedback about ideal layout, features and programming opportunities. According to city documents, residents voiced the most support for a design that includes one large body of water, with eight lanes for lap swimming on one side and the other side dedicated to recreational use.

The preliminary cost estimate for the most favored design ranges from approximately $4.8 million to $5.7 million, but the amount is subject to change once the design is finalized and the project is sent to bid, the documents show.

Another detail: Council will also discuss amending the city’s phased approach to city campus construction to include the buildout of the lobby in Phase I. The first phase is projected to cost about $9,416,000, per city documents.
