EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Discussion of Pool Repair
Mr. Ghazvini stated I reached out to the company who built the pool to do an assessment, but he is terminally ill. Tempool out of Jacksonville did come out and they said it is one of two things; when a pool like this has a crack it is either on the marcite or it is into the concrete. The question is how much water we are losing and Gulf Coast Leak Detection is coming out and they will test to verify where the leak is. Edgewater Pool has also been out to look at the pool and they are both working on proposals. The gentleman from Tempool said based on the shape it is most likely a delamination of the marcite from the concrete. The crack runs to one of our drains. The proposals may change based on what we get from Gulf Coast Leak Detection.
Mr. Thomson requested District Counsel review the contract from the pool builder.
