Subject: June 6, 2013 City Council Meeting Agenda item D13
Hello Aly,
I am writing to express my support of agenda item 31 3 on the June 6, 2023 City Council agenda. As a park and
recreation professional with a background in aquatic management, I can not express how important this higher -level
position is to manage an extensive and comprehensive aquatic program successfully.
As stated in your staff report, the, aquatics division is large and supports three facilities, all of which will have various and
extensive operating hours which require constant supervision and support. This new position is needed to provide
oversight of all aquatics operations including maintenance, staffing (includingthe recruiting, hiring, and ongoing training of
those staff which is essential for life-saving personnel), overseeing the various joint use agreements and permits as well
as the renovation and reopening of the Plunge. Many successful aquatic facilities operate under a similar model, including
the City of Santa Monica, and have shown that this organizational structure is needed and will result in successful aquatic
programming to the entire community.
As an El Segundo Resident, member of the Aquatic Subcommittee, and Park & Recreation professional I fully support the
creation of an Aquatic Manager position.
Sincerely,
Jeanette Gant
