Mayor Mansfield then called upon Jay Wilson, Director of Parks and Recreation. Wilson informed the Council just what a water link pool system is. He told them it is an automated test for the pool at the aquatic center to get a tighter control of the chemicals for the pool at a cost of $1,524.04. This was approved by the Council.
