Public Hearings <br /> There were no public hearing items. <br /> 8.1 Review Ordinance as it Relates to Fencing of Pools and Automatic Pool Covers <br /> Mr.Leeseberg presented the staff report. <br /> Mayor Dietz stated there are negatives to both options for pool security but felt an <br /> automatic pool cover would meet the same safety requirements as fencing. <br /> Councilmember Motin disagreed. He noted he owned an indoor pool at one time and there <br /> could be issues with kids falling in even though the pool is secure.He further stated a cover <br /> is only secure as long as it is shut and from his experience people don't always shut the cover <br /> when they walk away for short periods of time. He stated a fence is always in place. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard stated none of the options are fail proof and all rely on a <br /> property owner to make sure the pool is secured. He further noted a gate on a fence could <br /> be left open and unattended. He stated he is amendable to including automatic pool covers <br /> into city ordinance. <br /> Councilmember Wilson stated he'd like to see more details regarding pool cover standards <br /> and what type of requirements constitute legitimate pool covers before he could support a <br /> change in the ordinance. <br /> Councilmember Motin further questioned if it is the role of the city to be the safety monitor <br /> for private property. <br /> Councilmember Burandt stated she would like to see more information on what the best <br /> options are for pool safety. She further questioned the life expectancy and replacement of <br /> pool covers. <br /> Mr. Brent Cotton, 19640 Proctor Road-Stated it takes less than 10 seconds to open and <br /> close his pool cover and it saves on chemical,heating,and cleaning costs.He further stated <br /> his cover takes a private access code to open and close. <br />
