City Council Debates Splash Pad Supervision Amid Safety Concerns
In a recent city council meeting, members reached a consensus to maintain existing funding terms, opting not to increase an additional $100,000 as previously proposed. The motion to deny the resolution passed unanimously with a vote of 6-0, with one member absent.

The council also reviewed the rules governing the Travis Parks splash pad, initially tabled from a previous meeting. Concerns were raised about overcrowding and the lack of supervision at the facility, particularly after reports of unsupervised activities, such as football games on the splash pad. Councilor George Zepeda highlighted the need for potential oversight, suggesting that a uniformed employee could help enforce rules and ensure safety.

While some council members expressed the need for supervision, others pointed out budget constraints and the current operational status of the splash pad. The discussion included the effectiveness of existing rules, which require adult supervision for children, and the potential for accidents due to the facility's design.

The council ultimately decided to keep the current operational structure without adding staff for supervision, agreeing to monitor the situation and revisit the discussion in the fall. They also discussed the possibility of prioritizing access for city residents in future seasons, drawing comparisons to practices in neighboring cities.

As the meeting progressed, the council moved on to the election of the mayor Pro Tem, indicating a busy agenda ahead.
