f <br />Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, October 17, 2011 <br />Page 9 <br />Council President Buckholtz knows the discussion when it came up. Does it have anything to do <br />with access to the diving board at all? <br />Mr. Saponaro replied, no because you have to have access to the well because it is a separate <br />pool structure. You have to have access to both pool structures. <br />Mayor Rinker replied, part of the argument is that there are a lot of classes that are taught there <br />outside of diving. People would be using it for other purposes than diving. We need it for that. <br />Mr. Saponaro continued, Bill also reported that although there wasn't a lot of use that he's found <br />at other pools nearby, the fact that this will be out all of the time may encourage folks that have <br />the need for it to come to our pool and use it because they know it's accessible and it's ready. <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, it's not suggesting that it's safe to use the diving board. It's <br />not promoting the diving board. . <br />Mayor Rinker stated, they won't use it when people are using the diving boards. If I understand <br />it, if it's there and it's visible, people will be aware and will be more inclined to sign up for <br />programs or when the pool is available for those uses, they will know it's there. We are in <br />compliance with a zero entry pool. <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, for the record, I am quite serious on this. When it first came <br />up and we keep our records and Minutes on Caucus, it came at us as a strange item and we were <br />unclear. <br />Mr. Saponaro stated, we may also be able to utilize it with our adaptive programs we have now. <br />This could be something we could enhance as well. This Council is very keyed on this to <br />provide that. <br />Mr. Thomas added, I talked to Assistant Law Director Diane Calta who did a great job in putting <br />this together. With regard to putting a platform that goes to the diving boards, we are exempt. <br />Mr. Diemert stated, or if you prevent swimming in the diving well for everyone. <br />Mayor Rinker stated, we do, when it's used as a diving well. But when it's not used as a diving <br />well, it's good for other kinds of programs. <br />Mr. Thomas stated all liotels and municipal pools have to comply. <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, great job in keeping us in.compliance. <br />Roll Call: AYES: All Motion Carried <br />NAYS: None ?
