Public Hearing on Proposed Changes to the Pool and Recreation Facility's Hours of Operations

CITY & BOROUGH OF WRANGELL

PUBLIC HEARING

Written and oral testimony will be heard by the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board on Wednesday, May 7, 2014 at 6:30 p.m., in the Borough Assembly Chambers on a proposed, new schedule for the Pool & Recreation Facility’s hours of operation.  

In an effort to determine pool facility needs of our community, the Parks & Recreation staff conducted a data-drive process to examine alternative schedules from which the proposed new schedule was selected.  This process led to changes in our hours of operations that we believe better accommodates the majority of the public’s daily work and school schedules.  We are pleased to propose the following schedule, which increases facility services by two hours:

Monday–Thursday:      6:00 a.m.–1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.–7:30 p.m.

Friday:                          6:00 a.m.–1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.–8:30 p.m.

Saturday:                      10:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.

It is our hope that the effects of this change adequately targets community needs in order to increase use of the facility.  We look forward to receiving the community’s comments.
