Budget Study Session <br />May 18, 2005 <br /> <br />requirements associated with providing access. Discussion followed. <br /> <br />35.50 – Aquatics <br /> <br />This budget needs to be revised. Page C-74, line 721.10 shows the figures for <br />contracting out the management, so this figure will be reduced greatly, but large <br />amounts will be added above for 713.00 and 711.10. The total for that program might <br />be slightly lower. There will be no need to add any funds. <br /> <br />Ms. Welsch asked about funds for purchasing chemicals and if the City “is on track for <br />the Memorial Day opening” and was advised yes. Revised budget figures will be <br />provided to the Council later. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner asked about the line for Midwest pool and was advised that it is 721.10 on <br />C-74, contractual services. Ms. Welsch asked if the food services would also be under <br />contract and advised that the City Manager was not certain. Some discussion of details <br />followed.

He is not sure of the final plan. She also wanted to <br />know if the City would pay for their certification as well. Mr. Ollendorff said he would <br />find out. She wanted to say on the record that if there is any way the City can afford to <br />pay for these items, it would be a good idea. Ms. Brot wanted to know if “certification” <br />was the same as “training”? Advice will be forthcoming. <br /> <br />Ms. Colquitt said there was some question about the “acceptability” of the swimming <br />suits for the lifeguards, and she wanted to know if that issue had been settled. <br /> <br />Ms. Brot asked about the ladder used for exiting the pool and whether it had been <br />Page 11 <br /> <br />
