The DeKalb County commission recently signed a contract that has it paying 12 percent than last year for lifeguards and pool cleaning at Browns Mill Aquatic Facility this summer.

The $225,000 contract with USA Pools of Woodstock will cover services at the center through this fall.

Last year, the county raised fees at the facility, to make sure it could pay for itself. This year, season passes remain at $160 for non-residents, $80 for residents in unincorporated DeKalb and $85 for residents in DeKalb cities.

Daily admission to the Lithonia park, which opens May 26, ranges from $5 to $12, depending on age and if you live in the unincorporated county, a DeKalb city or outside the county.
