Merit Appeals Board <br />February 17, 2023 <br />MS. MATHEWS: Just one. Is there any effort to do similar hires, particularly, in (inaudible) <br />parks and recreation or swimming pools that kind of thing? And is there a focus on college <br />and high school students that, say, qualify to be lifeguards—can they apply? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. Parks and—we're working with parks and recreation because <br />they're also gearing up for the summer fun. So, in conjunction with that, we are also working <br />with them on marketing and promoting their pool lifeguard positions. And I canI'm sure we <br />are focusing on high school students for those types of positions but that's, definitely, something <br />we would consider as well. <br />MS. MATHEWS: Do you know what the youngest could be in terms of a high school or getting <br />aI mean, I don't know about the rest of you, but I always (inaudible). So—and I started at 15. <br />And I was just, kind of, curious what the County's take is on? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: With the pool lifeguard, some of the positions require a driver's license <br />because they have to oversee multiple pools or multiple locations. But, otherwise, I believe it's <br />the lifeguard certification. <br />So, I think you can go under 18 but, other than that, it would just be the driver's license to drive <br />to multiple pool sites. <br />MS. MATHEWS: Thank you. <br />CHR. CABANAS: And they would need to have a work permit, if they're <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Right. <br />CHR. CABANAS: —age 15 and 16. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Correct. <br />MS. MATHEWS: Oh, okay, good to know. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay, thank you. Mr. Kunz, question? <br />MR. KUNZ: Yes, I have one question, if, Waylen, you can kind of, maybe, help map it out for <br />me or us. <br />I know in watching some of the testimonial activity that's been going on with the Animal <br />Control and Protection Agency, what kind of timeline are you placing on the classification <br />process? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: So, it depends on how quickly the agency is approved. So, we're kind of <br />on standby and waiting on that. The anticipation is that it would be approved the agency <br />would be approved by the end of March, if I'm not mistaken. And that would allow us to create <br />Page 10 <br />
