The proposal is to change the town's certification from the American Red Cross to Ellis and Associates. Ellis and Associates will train 6 - 7 supervisors to be lifeguard trainers. The program would allow the town to certify lifeguards in house. The West Seneca School District's pools would be used for the training programs along with classroom training. Director of Recreation Cox stated he has just become full time and does not know why job postings have not been posted to Facebook, postings have been on the town's sign and the website. The safety plan expires March 17, 2027, is available on the website, and the safety plan does not identify a specific service provider. An effort to make the pool more accessible to residents is through extended hours. Currently, there are 21 people identified to be lifeguards and another 6 people to be interviewed. The pool opening is scheduled for June 26th. Lifeguards will be certified as swim instructors and swim lessons will be offered this summer. NEW BUSINESS 1. PERSONNEL 1.
