Pool camera inspection finds line debris and settling; committee moves to prepare repairs and hire seasonal manager
Summary
A camera inspection found debris and possible leaks under the pool slab; the committee approved further diagnostic work when weather permits and began planning to advertise for a seasonal pool manager with estimated seasonal compensation of $13,000–$15,000.
A recreational facilities committee reviewed a camera investigation into sand and debris in the city pool’s circulation lines and voted to proceed with additional diagnostics and repairs when warmer weather permits. The committee also moved to prepare a job description and pay range for a seasonal pool manager.
Eric Plumbing’s camera report noted piled debris in the lines on the west half of the pool and that, in multiple spots, the sand had settled two to three inches beneath the concrete slabs; the southwest corner showed more pronounced settling. The contractor recommended drilling test holes through the concrete pads and pressurizing lines in warmer weather to locate leaks and then solicit repair bids.
On staffing, committee members discussed options for a seasonal pool manager — hourly versus a seasonal salary — and shared an estimate that the position could total roughly $13,000 to $15,000 for the season, based on an approximate 540 hours of work (estimates include pre‑season hiring and end‑of‑season tasks). The committee agreed to prepare an updated job description, finalize pay structure and advertise the role in time to have a manager involved in lifeguard recruitment.
The committee also identified building maintenance priorities, noting the roof likely exceeds informal procurement limits and will require formal quotes or bids; members asked staff to gather multiple quotes and return with recommendations.
Next steps: staff will schedule diagnostic pressure testing when weather permits, solicit repair bids as needed, prepare a job description and compensation proposal for the seasonal pool manager, and present those items to the council for approval.
