Recommended Action
Discussion and Possible Action Regarding the North Port Aquatic Center Initial Operating Hours
Background Information
During the Commissioner Communications portion of the September 24, 2019 City Commission Regular Meeting, it was requested that a memo be provided regarding the recruitment efforts for North Port Aquatic Center lifeguards along with evaluation of an amended operational schedule for the Aquatic Center given that the facility did not open in July 2019 as initially estimated.
The memo was sent to the Commission from City Manager Lear on October 3, 2019 and is attached to this agenda item for further consideration. As noted in the memo, the Parks & Recreation Department is currently planning a two-week grand opening schedule with amended hours for full facility operations both weekdays and weekends. Once inspections are successfully completed and a grand opening date is solidified, staff intends to collaborate with the Communications Division to publicize and distribute the information to the community.
Strategic Plan
Create and sustain a safe and healthy environment for residents and visitors of North Port.
Financial Impact
Financial impact is outlined within the memo and will be determined based upon the direction from the Commission.
