11. RIVER BEND PLAZA POOLS In r sponse to the President's request for any further comments or discussions, Mr. ---dward F. Soltesz., Chairman, Governmental Coordination Committee of the Rive Bend Plaza Advisory Committee, said he has a question to ask- -and it is a touchy one. "Mr. Slabaugh, the pools up by the parking ramp on Jefferson Stre t, those haven't been running for quite a while. Is there any particular yeas n why they haven't been running ? ", Mr. Slabaugh responded that they run ever day. President Nimtz said a number of us were meeting with the City Council the other night and the question came up as to what the hours are for the opera- tion of the pools. "Can anyone tell us what the operation of the pools are ?" Mr. Slabaugh advised, "From 11:00 to 9:00, and the two pools on the end. The 'B' Pools on Jefferson Street are running from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. - -they are running six hours a day to take advantage of the light, and there has been no time that the pools have not been running, and that we have not had control over, That's as I expressed in my report to Mr. Brownell last Thursday." Mr. Patrick McMahon, Manager of Bureau of Public Construction, Department of Public Works responded, "I concur; that is correct. Mr. Soltesz said they observed it a little differently when they came by the other night. We observed the pools by the garage were not running, and they have not been running for quite a while, and that is down here by Jefferson Street. Mr. Slabaugh stated, "You saw them not running once and you are saying they have not been running for quite sometime ? "` Mr. Soltesz again stated, "I say they have not been running for quite a while, yes. I am not talking about the one at the post office; I am talking about the one at the parking garage. The ones at the garage haven't been on for--I-would venture to say - -for a good three weeks." Legal Counsel, Mr. Butler, asked if he is referring to the lights or the pools, and Mr. Soltesz said the lights and the pools in the even ng. Legal Counsel requested we have someone check into this s. President Nimt directed Mr. Brownell to have someone from the staff look into the running of t e pools.
