This was an opportunity for citizens to speak to Council relating to agenda and non - agenda items.
Carol Alvarado, 4022 Marlowe, spoke to ask Council to change the hours so that the pool and the
Recreation Center are open until 10:00 p.m. She said in addition to the pool area being very
congested with kids, she has also had to swim with particles of floating plastic diapers and would
like Council to mandate the use of cloth diapers for kids who take swim lessons.

the pool deck door situation in order to receive specific responses.
