Council Minutes of 6-7-2005 • Regarding the construction on the outdoor pool, he believes the pool is all complete and ready to go. Mayor O'Grady said the construction was certainly a massive piece of work that was done on very short notice. It is something that should have been identified in the fall of last year. Instead it was brought to the attention of the Service Dept. very soon after he took office. It is a credit to the Service Dept. and the professionalism of the employees as to the job they have done to completely excavate around this pool and then rebuild and seal it. The work is coming to a conclusion very shortly. Councilman Miller commented that the Recreation Commission was quite happy with the job. The Service Dept., as the Mayor indicated, is to be congratulated and acknowledged for the job they undertook in such short time. • His outstanding public records request continues to be addressed and credit should be given to Donna Murphy for her efforts in pulling it together. As he looks at the information, it seems to him to be a huge increase in the quality of the work and the accuracy of the information recorded. That is very much to Mrs. Copfer's credit. Service Director Driscoll said that the outdoor pool has a very delicate stainless steel wall and frame. They found out very quickly that it could be easily damaged, bent or broken if it's not handled carefully. So, they have to proceed in small sections as they go around the pool to get the work done. He expects to be done with the concrete work by June 14. In answer to a question by Mr. Gareau about the expected life of the improvements, he said he is very satisfied with the work that is being done and feels it could possibly last more than five years. However, he has been telling the Recreation Commissioner and the Safety Director to consider this afive-year fix and to consider what needs to be done with the pool in the future. Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane, feels the changes that have occurred on Council have been done well. He feels people are working together despite political differences. Congratulations to all who have been appointed. It certainly does show a terrific ability to acclimate new people into an already existing situation and a rather dire situation financially for this community.
