Commissioner Flescher concluded that $21,038 would make a difference for the <br />community, and acknowledged that Mr. Staley would volunteer to be one of the lifeguards, which <br />would cut the cost by about $7,327, between salary and benefits. He stressed that for under <br />$15,000 the pool could remain open for four hours, Tuesday through Saturday, and that he would <br />be willing to negotiate with anyone having an objection. <br />Reverend Bujol felt that for reasons of fairness and equity, the Board should consider <br />Commissioner Wheeler's suggestion to cut the North County Aquatic Center by the same <br />percentage as the Gifford pool. <br />There was a brief discussion regarding qualified lifeguards donating their time toward <br />opening the pool <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and by a <br />vote of 2-3 (Chairman Bowden, Commissioners O'Bryan <br />and Wheeler opposed), the MOTION FAILED. <br />Commissioner Flescher appealed to his fellow Commissioners, wanting to try another <br />motion. He reiterated that if Mr. Staley (providing he was not moved to another location) is <br />permitted to volunteer his time as one of the two required life guards at the Gifford pool, that it <br />would reduce the cost factor of one lifeguard by $7,327.00. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Flescher, <br />SECONDED by Vice Chairman Davis, for discussion, to <br />adjust the budget by reducing the M.S.T.U. Fund by <br />$15,711, so the pool could remain open for the next eight <br />months. <br />SEPTEMBER 10, 2008 8 <br />
