Pass sales

Bellevue residents will be able to purchase swimming pool passes at the Memorial Park pool as well as at the borough hall.

Council voted unanimously Tuesday to allow sales at the pool. An earlier decision by the parks committee had limited sales to the borough hall. Council members said the borough wanted to maintain better records of pass sales and there were concerns about pool employees having to deal with larger sums of cash.

Officials said those concerns could be addressed in light of the inconvenience of forcing residents to come to the borough hall during business hours.

Passes will not be sold at the pool until it opens on June 10. People who purchase passes before then will be able to use them at Avalon’s swimming pool until the Bellevue pool opens.

Council member Mark Helbling said that the pool opening was delayed in order to decrease the amount that will have to be paid to Swim America, which was awarded the pool management contract this year.
