Karen - Clarification on Pool informational session, must have pool bottom done by next Health Dept visit or Park loses the use of pool for summer. Not a board meeting, an information sharing meeting.  Patch of pool would be only temporary.  Pool is Fiberglass, only 1-2 companies will touch it.  Gunite is what is used in Public pools now.  Fiberglass needs to be removed, sand and install Gunite.  Failure to do so may cause eventual cave in of pool.  Gunite not poured all at one time, cures in few days.  This can’t be done until Fall, because of rainy season.   Jeff - comments accepted and appreciated. Offers information from companies to resolve issue.   

Audience member, addresses complaints to a Director about variety of issues.

Audience member – Requests chair grant up to 10 minutes. Needs the time to address complaints to directors about pools and rules and regs.
