Freeburg hires six seasonal staff for 2025 pool season; still short of target
Summary
Trustees approved hiring four lifeguards and two concession workers for the 2025 pool season but noted the department still needs at least three more lifeguards to meet its 15-person minimum target.
Trustee Elizabeth (Lisa) Meehling moved to hire four lifeguards — Wyatt Hopfinger, Lilly Furtak, Luke Lysakowski and Gage Lang — and two concession workers — Emma Savage and Ashlynn Moreland — for the 2025 pool season; Trustee Dana Miller seconded the motion and the board approved it by roll call.
Meehling said the pool manager (identified only as "Scott" in the minutes) prefers a minimum of 15 lifeguards for safe operation; eight returning staff have been retained so far, and with these hires the village still expects to need three additional lifeguards before the season opens.
