1. <br />Approval of Calendar Year 2011 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation. <br />Mr. Price moved to approve the FY 11 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), <br />seconded by Mr. Crow and was approved unanimously. <br />2. <br />Pool staffing discussion <br />The question was to why the pool hours have been shortened. Ms. MacCartney stated it <br />was a safety and liability issue due to guards leaving to go back to school. She noted that <br />schools are starting earlier now thus making it hard to find available guards. Ms. <br />MacCartney said she has tried everything in trying to staff the pool in late August. <br />Mr. Glickert asked Ms. MacCartney the difference between guards trained by Red Cross or <br />Star guards as it seemed difficult to find guards if limited to just trained Star guards. Mr. <br />Glickert suggested to close a section of the pool based on use, in order not to have to staff <br />the entire pool. <br />Mr. Crow asked what the salary rand of the guards were and Ms. MacCartney said from <br />$7.85 to $10.00. <br />Mr. Kraft asked if the City advertised at Washington University? He noted that being new on <br />the Council he has not received as many concerned calls as he has on the early closing of <br />the pool. He suggested the City get creative in figuring out a way to keep the pool open for <br />six more days. Mr. Kraft noted that lap swimmers have mentioned they would be willing to <br />help. <br />Ms. Ricci moved to have Ms. MacCartney to come back with a way to keep the pool open <br />six more days, seconded by Mr. Price and was unanimously approved. <br />K. COUNCIL ACTION ITEMS <br />1. <br />Councilmember Sharpe spoke as liaison to the Arts and Letters Commission about the <br />upcoming Concerts in the Park. <br />2. <br />Mr. Kraft as liaison to the Library Board reported that the U City library is looking for a new <br />director. <br />Mayor Welsch announced that Council would receive packets this week with commission <br />openings and citizen applications on file at City Hall. <br />L.
