New Clinton G. Martin Chlorine Tanks Were 'A Wise Choice'

The investment for chlorine tanks in Clinton G. Martin pool was a wise choice, according to Supervisor Jon Kaiman. At the recent Town of North Hempstead board meeting a resolution acknowledging the use of the capital reserve for the installation of chlorine tanks for the pool was adopted. The chlorine tanks at Clinton G. Martin Park were part of a project that was completed in 2007. Kaiman said the contract amount for the tanks was $86,000. 

“The Town of North Hempstead board members formally acknowledged this resolution that has been in the making for many years,” said Kaiman. “The Town will continue to pay for the land in which the pool rests on, including an outstanding debt that was owed to our district from the tenant, which amounts to $15,000.”

One of the capital project transactions for the Clinton G. Martin Park District includes the Town transferring $65,593 of capital to the Park District for payment for playground equipment, which was done on Dec. 20, 2010, according to the Kathleen H. Mitterway, the Town’s comptroller. Five years prior, on December 21, 2005, the Park District also paid $65,593 in expenses related to the playground equipment.

The pool had millions of dollars in renovation work done, a Town spokesman said.

Resident yearly pool membership for a family is $522, for a couple is $450 and for an individual who is 18-59 years old is $326. For seniors, veterans or a disabled person it is $166 and daily single admissions range from $6-$14.  The pool’s hours and rules are listed on the Town of North Hempstead’s website: www.northhempstead.com.

“The Town will continue to pay the yearly rate of $15,000 for use of the land, which Clinton G. Martin Park Pool resides,” said Kaiman.
