Board tables pool rental fee change after members flag confusing wording
Summary
Board members paused action on updated pool rental language after noting the posted policy appears to charge $100 and 'includes two lifeguards' but does not specify whether that is per hour or a flat fee; staff will clarify and return next month.
The board tabled proposed changes to pool rental fees after members questioned ambiguous wording that could be interpreted as a flat $100 charge or $100 per hour. Members asked staff to clarify what services are included (for example, lifeguard hours and janitorial or utility costs) and to ensure in-district versus out-of-district rates are clearly distinguished.
The business manager and other staff noted historical versions that used an hourly lifeguard charge and said the draft in the packet did not clearly specify time increments. A board member suggested asking Jess (staff) to clarify the intent and to confirm whether open-enrolled families should be treated as in-district for the purposes of pricing.
The board moved to table the item and requested a clarified draft before distributing the policy publicly; the motion to table passed by voice vote.
Next steps: staff to return with explicit rate language (per hour vs. flat-day fee), examples of total costs including lifeguard wages, and recommended in-district/out-of-district distinctions.
