“The weather forecast has temperature reaching the 100
degree mark over the weekend and I am pleased that the staff at both pools: the
“big pool” at the recreation center and the wading pool at Franchot Park, were
able to adjust schedules to keep the pools open an additional two hours
each. Both pools will be open from 12:00
p.m. until 7:00 p.m.,” Mayor Aiello said.
“In addition a procedure is in place to open the John J. Ash
Community Center as a cooling station if necessary. I ask residents to call police dispatch at
716 376-5677 and the cooling station will be opened,” Mayor Aiello added. “Olean is a very caring community, and I want
to thank our police and fire departments, the youth and recreation staff, the
senior center staff and Reverend Kim Rossi of the Greater Olean Association of
Churches for helping put this plan in motion.”
“I also urge residents to be mindful of the heat and if they
need a place to cool down to please call dispatch to get the cooling station
opened.” Mayor Aiello said.
