 SALEM WOODS CIVIC ASSOCIATION BOARD MEETING
5/1/08
 
The Board Meeting of the Salem Woods Civic Association was called to order by
President, Barry Ezell at 7 pm with the following Board members present: Dr. Barry C.
Ezell, Heidi Rosen, Maureen Newton, Jim Newton, and Sarah Ezell.
 
Barry moved that the minutes from the April meeting be approved. Jim seconded the
motion and the motion carried.
 
Old business: There was no old business to discuss.
 
President Barry Ezell:
 
Nothing heard yet from Sandler and Sons regarding the Revere Park. Kroger is not going
out of business. The reason why they are closing the store is due to a higher rent increase
by the owners of the complex. Kroger made double digit figures last year.
 
Facilities: Jim Newton:
 
1. Pool: Currently, we have 13 lifeguards hired, and a pool manager. Five of the
lifeguards are getting or already have their pool operator license.
 
2. Lifeguard salary: Minimum wage increases to $6.55 per hour. The lifeguards are
paid 20 cents over and above minimum wage. The starting wage for new lifeguards
will be $6.75 per hour. Returning lifeguards will be paid between $8.25 to $8.75 per
hour. The pool manager will be paid $9.00 per hour. Our pool manager is also
certified for lessons. We will talk about offering group/individual lessons later.
 
3. Lifeguard wages budgeted for: We currently have $18K scheduled for wages. We
are predicting, calculating the new hourly wage, at approx $20,300.
 
4. Jim has rewritten the pool guide. It will be posted on the internet.
 
5. We need to change the filters in the pool. These include the top and finger filters.
Price is $700. They will last 15 years. New sand is approx $400-$500.
 
6. Pool inspection: There are new major changes with City code regarding pool safety
requirements. One of the changes pertains to fixing all the cracks in the pool deck and
the raised areas of concrete - “toe stubbers”. These will need to get fixed. Jim is in
the process of doing so.
 
7. We will need a pool permit for the large pool, as well as the baby pool.
 
8. Electrical inspection still needs to be complete.
