Committee discusses unsupervised pool access at age 14; state law cited
Summary
Staff referenced state law in discussing whether to allow unsupervised pool access at age 14 and council members proposed adding a student category; staff recommended clarifying age and access categories before finalizing fee structure.
The committee considered who should be allowed unsupervised access to the pool and whether to create age or student pricing categories. Assistant director (speaker 2) said the 14-year threshold was selected because "the state law does not allow, anyone 14 come to the pool unsupervised," and council members asked whether to make the unsupervised threshold 14 or 16 and whether to add a student category for pricing.
Members also discussed practical enforcement — wristbands, category labeling, and how a family membership would be defined — and noted that abuse of wristband systems was a concern. Staff said these policy and operational questions would be refined as part of the fee schedule and access rules prior to opening.
