Hello, my name is Molly Lusignan from Elk River. I am here tonight to <br />discuss safety issues with personal inflatable pools that hold more than 24 <br />inches of water. <br />FILE COPY <br />I have spoke with city officials a couple of times regarding this issue and <br />have learned that any type of pool over 24 inches or deeper must be enclosed <br />by a fence which then would require a building permit. With these pools <br />available for around $50.00, we all know that spending 5 times that amount <br />on a fence is not desirable. It is my understanding this policy and procedure <br />is going to be reviewed tonight with the intention of revising the city rules <br />and regulations soon. <br />On that note, the key to preventing any tragedy is to have multiple levels of <br />protection. I feel we as a community can provide multiple levels of <br />protection by having regulations followed by consequences for <br />noncompliance. <br />- All pools including inflatable/portable pools greater than 24 inches of <br />water must have a free city permit designed just for these types of <br />pools. <br />~A,TE RECE6VE <br />/a ~ _______~~_ <br />
