Swimming pool committee sets direction

Feb. 12, 2013 — Don’t hold your breath waiting for a swimming pool in Susanville — but the process is moving forward.

Lassen County Administrative Officer Martin Nichols chaired the first meeting of the Lassen County Pool Steering Committee in the county’s administrative conference room Thursday, Feb. 7.

For about 90 minutes the major players — Lassen Community College, the Susanville School District, Lassen High School, Lassen County, the city of Susanville and the Susanville Indian Rancheria — and others interested in bringing a pool to town discussed the priorities of such a project. No definitive decisions were made, and Nichols said he plans to ask the Lassen County Board of Supervisors later this month to hire a consultant to advise the county on how to proceed.
