A plan to maintain the Barton Community College swimming pool for the foreseeable future received unanimous support Wednesday from the BCC Board of Trustees.The proposal will require some fine tuning, as it assumes Great Bend USD 428 will begin to pay for the use of the pool, and will pay $10,000 a year for a 12-year lease. It will also require a property tax increase next year to cover recent and upcoming repairs and one year of operation costs – an estimated $190,800. How that will affect the mill levy won’t be known until valuations are set in mid-June, but the ballpark estimate was a tax increase of 0.81 mills.The proposal would also require a smaller tax increase for subsequent years – about $43,000 a year for another 11 years.However, factors that could reduce the local tax burden would include increased valuation – especially if oil valuations go up again – and more community support.
