[22:20]
evening um I live at 8:15 Lake wet
[22:23]
Avenue so right next to the park um
[22:26]
Central Park that is and I'm really
[22:28]
excited about the new pool that is
[22:31]
coming going to be open at the park
[22:33]
we've been watching it um be built over
[22:36]
the winter um and I'm including some
[22:39]
ideas that I emailed last summer um that
[22:42]
were then forwarded to the park director
[22:45]
at the time but I'm following up just as
[22:47]
I'm not really sure where you know some
[22:49]
of that lies um and some of these ideas
[22:52]
are probably too late for this year but
[22:54]
I'm just hoping for the
[22:55]
future um first I would love for funding
[22:58]
to be made available or a business to
[23:01]
offer free or very reduced lifeguard
[23:04]
training for connected City School
[23:07]
District students to become
[23:09]
lifeguards I'm sure some of them are
[23:11]
already but I know that's cost
[23:13]
prohibitive to get the training
[23:15]
sometimes too and we do have a pool um
[23:18]
at the school where even if this were
[23:20]
over next winter developing more guards
[23:23]
um such a big pool is going to need a
[23:24]
lot of
[23:25]
lifeguards um I hate when you see
[23:28]
section of pools closed because there's
[23:30]
not enough guards uh number two it would
[23:33]
be great if the city could coordinate
[23:35]
with
[23:36]
CDTA um or something else to have a bus
[23:39]
or trolley running routes to the pool
[23:43]
for better access for both Youth and
[23:45]
adults throughout the
[23:47]
city um then maybe this third thing I
[23:50]
don't know how many people non-residents
[23:52]
are coming to the pool I know many
[23:54]
non-residents are using our tennis
[23:56]
courts and disc golf at no no cost um
[24:00]
and I think many of them are not
[24:01]
residents which is great but you cannot
[24:04]
use other um parks in Suburban
[24:07]
neighborhoods for free um in many cases
[24:10]
so I would love um if non-residents were
[24:13]
charged a fee to use the pool to help
[24:16]
offset the cost of running the pool over
[24:18]
time um as a city resident I'm unable to
[24:21]
swim at the nkuna Town pool the col Town
[24:24]
pool the tenta town pool unless I go
[24:27]
with a resident and I pay a higher fee
[24:30]
um these are policies that just like
[24:33]
I've read online so I don't can't tell
[24:34]
you what their policies are this year if
[24:36]
some of those have changed but just as
[24:38]
an idea the nisun town pool at least
[24:41]
last year listed $10 um for an adult to
[24:44]
swim as a guest and you need to come
[24:47]
with a resident though residents also
[24:49]
pay $10 for an individual swim um though
[24:52]
that's discounted if those residents buy
[24:54]
a pass for the year in Colony Town Park
[24:57]
it's $12 for an adult non-resident to
[25:00]
swim and you must come with a resident
[25:03]
so even if you have the the the fee you
[25:06]
can't just decide to pay that um an
[25:09]
adult resident pays
[25:10]
$7 uh residents pay $2 to get into that
[25:14]
Park and nonresidents pay
[25:16]
$10 um so again I think oh is that time
[25:20]
up it is okay thank you thank
[25:25]
you mag Lavine
[25:36]
good
[25:37]
evening mayor president Porterfield and
[25:40]
members of the council I signed up to
[25:42]
speak in the event folks in favor of a
[25:44]
ceasefire
[25:46]
resolution um uh which I oppose would be
[25:49]
appearing tonight as has occurred in
[25:50]
recent meetings but so is not to
[25:52]
interrupt the business of the council
[25:55]
which in my view is critical to the
[25:57]
welfare of the city as opposed to the
[25:59]
Affairs in the Middle East which are
[26:01]
beyond the council's legislated scope I
[26:04]
decline to speak I don't know if there
[26:06]
are other speakers but I respectfully
[26:09]
request that if someone tonight is
[26:11]
speaking in favor of a ceasefire
[26:14]
resolution that I may exercise my
[26:16]
privilege then thank you thank you I
[26:20]
have no one else signed up to speak on
[26:22]
the public comment of City business so I
[26:23]
