Councilmembers Litten and Baker mentioned the most likely time for the meeting to be scheduled <br />will be September. President Litten noted an advantage to this timeline is that an entire season’s <br />worth of information and experiences can be taken into consideration. <br />Councilmember Rader mentioned that the pool Wi-Fi was down recently, which caused problems <br />for accepting electronic payment. He asked that this topic be addressed at the upcoming meeting. <br />Councilmember Bullock advocated for meeting as soon as possible to help address issues during <br />the current season. He pointed out that the pools are another example of the challenge of jointly <br />managing recreation issues with the schools. <br />Councilmember Shachner asked the Law Department for clarification on Council’s authority to <br />set rules, regulations, and schedules at the pool, or if these matters are entirely in the jurisdiction <br />of the schools. <br />Councilmember Marx remarked that she has heard from many residents regarding concerns at <br />Foster Pool. She suggested that admission to Beck’s pool be discounted to draw more residents <br />there. <br />Councilmember Baker added that the objective of the conversation is to improve the pool <br />experience for residents and to retain families in Lakewood – a matter on which the City and <br />schools are aligned. <br />On the motion: All members in favor.
