The city held a small beam signing ceremony to celebrate another pool complex milestone on Monday, Jan. 8. Members of the City Council, Pool Advisory Committee, Bond Oversight Committee, and donors gathered to sign the top beam before it’s placed on the structure, a longstanding construction industry tradition.
