Public Works hears pool update: attendance steady despite lifeguard loss
Summary
Staff reported one lifeguard resignation this week but said daily attendance is "maybe 40 to 50 every day," pool parties are booked weekly, and managers will adjust schedules for holiday events; commissioners flagged youth work-hour limits as a scheduling constraint.
Staff updated the commission on pool operations and staffing. Speaker 6 said the department "did lose a lifeguard this week" but reported steady daily attendance, estimating "maybe 40 to 50 every day." He told commissioners there have been few incidents and that concession sales and pool-party bookings remain active.
Commission members raised recruitment and scheduling concerns. Staff noted limits on teen lifeguards (15-year-olds and 16-year-olds cannot work late-night events) and said they will coordinate managers and assistant managers to cover holiday and evening events such as July 4 and park music nights. Speaker 3 said the season has gone "really good this year" and staff will look to shift parties or hold Saturdays/Thursdays as rain-day makeups to maximize bookings.
What’s next: staff will continue recruitment efforts, track concession and season-pass sales, and return with any staffing shortages that could affect hours or special events.
