Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Troy public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Troy Family Aquatic Center Update
The 35-year-old pool has leaks under the pool deck, a corroded surge tank and failing filters. Fixing known problems costs $1-1.5 million and still risks more failures; modernization is about $15 million, and the city doesn't have that money. Swim lessons and programs will move to the indoor pool, and staff will explore partnerships.
Library Future and HVAC Investment
Library supporters say about $4 million in urgent repairs — a new air handler, boiler, doors, and more — are looming on a building serving roughly 29,000 visitors a month. Council members debated whether to poll residents on a standalone library bond in time for November's ballot; a majority prefers a slower engagement-first approach, and no consensus was reached.
2026-2030 Parks and Recreation Master Plan
Troy's new five-year parks plan is based on 870 resident survey responses. Residents want trail connections most (73% want Troy Trails expanded), better restrooms and equipment, and maintenance of existing facilities. It's a non-binding wish list, but adopting it keeps the city eligible for DNR grants.
