Adel Aquatic Center Information

The Parks & Recreation Commission and City Council Resolutions may be found by clicking here. It is the intent of the Parks Commission to ask the voters to vote to rescind the one cent sales tax once the new facility's debt is retired. The reason a sunset clause was not built into the ballot language is to provide for more flexibility in financing the debt of the facility, thus providing for better interest and principal terms.
For additional information about the project, including timelines, technical information, photos and proposed site plans, please click here. For updated Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) revenue and expense information and summary of this special account, please click here.
Please check back here often as budgets, plans, and meeting information will be posted here regularly. Thank you for your support of the Adel Aquatic Center.
