9. Pool Manager:
   Julie provided a spreadsheet with the wages for lifeguards in the area. The Cabana pays on the low end. A motion was passed for Julie to give raises based on performance. Presently, Cabana guards earn $7.50 - $10.00 per hour. This will be raised to $8.00 - $11.00 per hour. Julie can perform job reviews after 30 days. She will write job description and the criteria for raises. The Guards must wear red and white . no other colors. The Board already purchased guard suits for the season. If guards want additional official shorts or tops, they can purchase them. Only uniformed guards on duty can be requested to perform duties, not guards off duty. If pool members have a request for a guard, they must ask the manager (Julie) first.
   
   
10. Personnel:
    Chris asked about keys. All of the head Guards have keys, and there are keys in the office. A head guard will be on duty at all times.
