be respected. (4) The majority of municipalities across the State are not opening or have delayed opening their pools. Ms. Berglund was in attendance and addressed the Council as follows: (1) Suggested that Council reconsider reducing the pool capacity limit to allow for proper social distancing per CDC guidelines which state a minimum of 6 feet both inside and outside the pool. (2) It is the lifeguard’s responsibility to watch the people in the pool, not monitor social distancing of people on the pool deck. (3) It is the responsibility of the City to provide a safe workplace for its employees. (4) Expressed concern that her daughter, a City lifeguard, is not being kept informed on what precautions the City is making regarding her safety will on duty.

Council discussion included: (1) Reviewed revised statistics from the Wisconsin Parks & Recreation Association regarding pool opening decisions being made by municipalities throughout the State. (2) It appears that the COVID-19 curve is flattening. The confirmed cases are continuing to decrease as well as hospitalizations. (3) Delay the pool opening until after July 4th. (4) The media is making it seem that if you get COVID-19, you are going to die. (5) It was explained that the City had not been in contact with pool employees as City personnel were awaiting a decision on the pool opening. (6) Concern that if a COVID-19 case was traced back to the City pool, it could result in not only the pool employees being quarantined for 14-days, but also any Public Works employees that are providing work at the pool. This could then extend to people that they have all been in contact with.

(8) Suggested that because money has been budgeted for pool wages, the City pay the pool staff to insure their availability.

(10) The City will continue to take the necessary COVID-19 precautions and monitor COVID-19 confirmed cases in the County, and if there is a spike, close the pool. (11) Suggested pool users reserve time or limit the amount of time users can be at the pool. (12) Plans for social distancing on the pool deck and the concession. Ms. Buskerud stated they could place social distancing markings around the concession stand.
