Mendota city officials are leaning toward repairing the Mendota Community Pool rather than replacing it, though no final decision has been made. The pool was closed for the 2026 season. Repairs had been the expected route until Mayor David Boelk raised the idea of a new pool last month as repair estimates kept climbing. At Monday's City Council meeting, a presentation from pool renovation company RenoSys made officials more confident in fixing the existing pool, which City Clerk Emily McConville called the fastest and cheapest way to reopen. The city will keep looking at a full replacement at the same time, and officials plan to visit a site that used the same repair method. A formal repair estimate isn't ready yet, and Boelk's 45-day deadline to decide is getting close.
