FR0~1 THE DESK OF NANCY ~IACCARTNEY <br />' ~ DIRECTOR OF PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br />T0: JULIE FEIER, CITY MANAGER <br />SUBJECT: POOL HOURS DURING DAYS SCHOOLS ARE IN SESSION <br />DATE: JANUARY 28, 2010 <br />Attached is a memo that went to the Park Commission for their October, 2009 meeting. At that <br />meeting they unanimously voted to approve the closing of the Heman Park pool on weekdays after <br />the school district goes back in session in mid August. This will have no effect on the early part of <br />the season nor will it impact weekday early morning lap swim where we can provide a safe staffing <br />level. <br />For the 2009 season we were optimistic that our past problems with safe staffing levels would be eliminated by our recruitment efforts to hire adult guards coupled with the economic <br />problems <br />steering more adults looking for jobs. This did not occur and we again experienced unsafe staffing <br />levels which required our Assistant Superintendent of Recreation to be in a guard chair for weeks. <br />while this decision does have minor budget savings, the main reason we are having to make the <br />adjustment is to accommodate the academic schedule of the guards. This has been an on-going issue <br />when the high school goes back in session. <br />June 21, 2010 J-2-1 <br />
