What are the safety protocols for lifeguards on duty? There are two lifeguards on duty for the main pool at 2:30 pm, but the elevated chairs designed for lifeguards to easily scan the pool are empty. Instead, both lifeguards are seated together, chatting on the staff bench. There are easily 60+ people at the Bryan Park Pool now and plenty of small children.
Until this weekend, lifeguards at Bryan Park Pool used the elevated chairs all summer and rotated frequently.

Nightly encampment of folks on sidewalk/public ROW after closing of parks. Needles/syringes, feces, trash, chairs/furniture etc. are all over the area - on public & private property as a result of the nighttime inhabitants. Due to late night activity, this may need to be addressed by police.

How does Bloomington determine the appropriate lifeguard-patron ratio for the city's public pools? How often is a responsible staff member actively evaluating safety needs during the course of the pool hours? (Seeking an actual response, as I notice that recent U-reports asking this question have been closed despite zero answers.)
On August 10-11, there was an alarming disconnect between lifeguards and actual use of the facility. Despite a hot, sunny weekend with dozens of patrons in and around the main pool (including plenty of small children), there was only a single lifeguard on duty sitting on the ground level staff bench for the **entire main pool**. At least on Aug 17-18, the west end of the main pool was closed, reducing by half the active scan area for the single on duty lifeguard.
It would be terrible to have a safety emergency at the city pools worsened by underestimating the need for lifeguards on duty.

City sewer line is clogged and water is backing up into basement. Mann Plumbing has been there and the line from the home to the city sewer is clear and they found standing water in the city sewer line. Thank you.
