Jasper RDC Certifies Pool Completion, Moves Forward with Wellness Center
At its Tuesday morning meeting, the Jasper Redevelopment Commission took the next steps in
transitioning from the outdoor pool’s construction to the Regional Wellness Center project.
The board approved a claim of $42.86 to The Jasper Herald for the publication of 2025 Annual
Financial Report. This year, a report for the RDC was necessary in addition to the one from the
City of Jasper due to the pool bonding process. This will be an annual requirement going
forward.
The Board confirmed the Affidavit of Completion for the outdoor pool. Hafer Construction also
verified completion with a signature from the head engineer. The affidavit required signatures
from both the RDA and the RDC. During construction of the municipal pool, the old pool had to
be demolished. Although the RDA owned the site, the disparity between the value of the site
and the bonds required additional value to be provided.
In order to satisfy the requirements, the Habig Center was transferred to the RDA to serve as
that collateral. Now that the pool construction is finished, the same process will be used for the
Regional Wellness Center. The affidavit confirms that the pool is completed and now serves as
its own collateral so that the Habig Center can be released.
The Board approved Resolution RDC 2026-4, which establishes a policy requiring the advance
submission of items for meeting agendas. Under the resolution, agenda items must be
submitted at least seven days prior to the meeting at which they will be considered. Emergency
or time-sensitive items may still be considered with the Board’s approval.
The next regular meeting will be on May 5, 2026.
