Some big ticket items have come up for discussion in the Dunedin City Council's latest meeting.

Councillors have been considering a report on the proposed Mosgiel swimming pool.

It highlights a conflict between council staff and trust members, who can't agree on what can be delivered within budget.

The trust thinks a four-pool complex can be achieved for just over $14m.

But staff estimate that would cost about $20m.

The council's tasked with deciding a preferred site for the complex, and directing more detailed designs for a two-pool facility.

It's also been considering liability in relation to the June floods.
