As Bellevue voters head to the polls next Tuesday for the Nov. 3 election, one of the biggest local issues on the ballot will be to vote ‘yes or no’ on the proposed $3 million referendum to build a new municipal pool at Cole Park.
If approved by at least 60% of voters, those public funds would be combined with pledges, grants and fundraising dollars to replace and update the current 1965 outdoor pool at Cole Park. If enough is raised, a splash pad will also be constructed, (funds come up short for the entire splash pad, all the infrastructure for a future splash pad would still be in place).
