SEQUIM — The board of the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center nd the Clallam County YMCA are considering a merger in which the YMCA would take over management of the facility.
The board that oversees the Sequim exercise facility at 610 N. Fifth Ave., plans a meeting at the center at 2 p.m. today to discuss allocating $5,000 toward a study on the proposal.
The Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center, known as SARC, announced in August that it would cut its hours of operations Oct. 5 to delay closure.
The facility then had just six months of projected funding available, according to its board.
Cutting hours would delay SARC’s closure hopefully until Sept. 30, 2016, Frank Pickering, board president, said then.
A measure to create a metropolitan park district that would solely fund SARC, which includes Sequim’s only public pool, was defeated in the Aug. 4 primary election, leaving the facility without new tax revenue.
