After raising badge prices, bringing in the Wibit and opening membership to everyone, Graydon Pool has brought in higher revenues so far this year but fewer badge sales – particularly from Ridgewood residents – in what has been a mild and pleasant summer season.
Village Manager Ken Gabbert reported the news at a Village Council meeting last week, and later provided additional numbers indicating the differences in badge sales and revenues since this time last year.
In previous years, out-of-town residents were allowed from Ho-Ho-Kus and Midland Park; other non-residents were allowed only if they had sponsorship from a Ridgewood resident. This year, the pool was opened to everyone with no prerequisites, and figures through July indicated that, with the policy change, badge sales from out-of-town residents increased from 155 to 263.
