Mr. Don Fozo made the presentation along with Mary Mueller of the City Legal Department. It was noted that there are two different definitions and two different requirements in light of whether a swimming pool was built prior to September 13, 1989. It was noted in response to a question raised by Council Member Zakrzewski that if there are changes to the pool or the fence except for routine maintenance that the new standards would apply. Council Member Slavinskas noted that he still believes the biggest risk are the unattended wading pools. In response to one of his questions it was noted that above ground pools do not need an inspection nor permit but below ground pools do require a permit and as five foot fence. Council Member Puzzello noted that most of the states have four foot (4') limit and that there is an additional cost involved to meet the five foot (5') standard. Mr. Fozo agreed with her comments.
