provided by Consultant and available or applicable to this agreement are intended to
apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement limits the

subcontractor.

Agreement shall prohibit Consultant, or Consultant's employees, or agents, from

subrogation against City.

Agreement does not comply with these requirements or is cancelled and not replaced,
City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any
premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or City will withhold
amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments.

failure on the part of City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement
imposes no additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

hired by Consultant in connection with its operation of the Aquatic Center to provide
15
Contract No. C33470
general liability insurance with limits of at least $1 million per occurrence and $2 million

from its subcontractors and make reasonable efforts to ensure that such coverage is
provided as required here.

be interpreted as such.

in California and with an A.M. Best rating of A- or better and a minimum financial size of
VII.

or loss against Consultant arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City

Qusliflcations,Retated Eaperience and References of Proposer
The FaraiIy YMCA of the Desert is part of a nation wide system of YMCA's,with the original
YMCA being founded in 1851. All YMCA's are independent 501 c3 non-pmfit�o�rganizations
and the national YMCA(YMCA of the USA)provides support,training and new pragram
information to the local associations. The Femily YMCA of the Desert is a community based
organization which started in 1982. Currently,our organization has 42 program sites throughout
the valley and daily we care for 3,342 children and our 35l employees are dedicatad to building
character in kids. In addition,a1128 membexs of the Board of Directors live in the Coachella
Valley and support our efforts to build a stronger community. Moreover,our budget is
$6 million and we are program based when it comes to fimding our organization. In othc.r words,
we are not taac supported,we work to generate dollars through program fees,and iess thaa 10%
of our budget comes from donations. We are conservative in nature and put funds away in
reserves for both operations and maintenance. It is the natnre af the YMCA's to fvnd the
operations through good fiscal controls end program income.
The Family YMCA of the Desert is a not-fior-profit organizadon and holds childc.are service
contracts with local school districts and with the California Department of Education(CDE).
The YMCA receives grants from Iocal city governments,private donarions,membership fces,
and program service fees. Fwthermore,an annual audit of the financial statements are
completed in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the�standards applicable to financial a�dits contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptrolier General of the United States. This organization has not had
any significant defici�cies in intemal controls over the last five years and no material
weaknesses or non-compliance materials have been rioted. In addition,The Family YMGA of
� Page 2

the Desert's current budget is$6,018,659.00. Moreover,as of June 30,2010,net property and
equipment totals are$237,305.00 and permanently restrictefl assets aze at 556,482.00. As of
June 20,201d,revenue liability is�at�25,397.00 and as of October 31,2010,reserve funds tofa�
$200,822.00.
This organizallon does not have any conditions such as bankruptcy,office closures,mergers,or
litigations that would adve,rsely affect it.
YMCA's have always led the charge in sports and exercise. Aquatics has been one of the strong
points of the YMCA dating back to 1907 when the Detroit YMCA started the first organized
swim lessans in the country. From 19Q7 to now the YMCA has taught more people to swim than
any other organization in the cfluntry. The YMCA is a national leader in swim lessons,swim
teams for all ages,water aerobics,diving lessons,scuba diving,water therapy and several other
water related progratns and The Family YMCA of the Desert has been pmviding swim lessons
for the past 28 years. Our primary program focus has been pre-schools,after school child care
and sports and fitness. Aquatics has been implemented in most of these programs. We were the
only organization to work with all three school dislricts and offer free swim lessons to their lugh
school students upon leaming of the drowning of one of their students,at La Quinta High
School,about five years ago.
We were the first organization to offer free swimming lessons to the kids in the Coachella Valley
by way of a grant from the Anderson Foundation. We have organized aquatic programs at the
Desert Hot Springs pool,Palm Springs pool,Fritz Burns pool,Palm Desert High 3chool pool
and a number of special event(essons in private country ctubs. We have provided lessons to
over 600 kids each year. Beyond the basic swim lessons,our staff teaches first aid,CPR,senior
life saving,and certifies both instructors and lifeguards. Our YMCA implemented water
' � � Page 3
27
aerobics,water walking for seniors,family fun nights,dive-in movies,dinner and a swim,
competition stroke development,water polo clinics and many theme based private swim parties.
Our YMGA has a great rela6onship with several nan-profit youth groups and organizations
throughout the valley which are able to take advantage of our aquatic programs.
Within our existing aquatics staff we have two local graduates who were both female,high
school all Americans in water polo,one of which went on to be captain of the USC water polo
team and a NCAA all American and a member of the USA national team. We also have a
volunteer who played for the men's USC water polo team,was a NCAA all American,a member
of the Slovak national team and is now an assistant coach at USC form men's and women's
water polo and swim. The CEO of the Faznily YMCA of the Desett has over 35 years of YMCA
experience and aquatics has been part of each of lus four YMCA assignments. The most
noteworthy aquatics complex was aa indoor 25 yd.x 81ane pool and a 40 x 60 therapy and
lesson pool. Our proposed key manager for the Palm Desert Aquatic Center is not yet an
emptoyee of the YMCA. The background,sltitl and accomplishments of tlus person will be
stated later in the appendix of this RFP.
The Family YMCA of the Desert has been a partner with the City of Palm Desert in several
projects for the betterment of the community. The past experiences include the Jean Benson Pre-
School,the Palm Desert Middle School teen center,the Lincoln Elementary after school and
ASES progtams and summer day camp. The Y has also been involved in several block grant
projects,both capital and program based. To this date,our accounring and reporting procedures
have atways been up to the expectations of the City of Pa(m Desert and the State.

These classes include the minnow swim class,fish'swim ciass,adaptive swim class,parent-child
.class,home school P.E.class,the pike class,the eel class,the ray class and the guppy class. The

Recruitment and Hiring Process
At the Y,helping kids,families and communities leam,grow and thrive requires strong,cause-
driven leadership. When attracting and hiring new employees,we select based on the highest
standards,in keeping with the YMCA's reputation as a leading organization in the community.
All posirions are inirially posted intemally so that current staffhave an opportunity for
advancement and then externally within the community,depending on the position being filled.
We utilize local}righ schools and college job boards and actively network with leaders in the
community or in their field to stay on top qualified candidates. We've ensure that the job
description for each job being filled is accurate and current and identifies the core competencies
needed for the job.�We've establish a written screening process that ensures alI hires meet the
� ' Page I S
39
YMCA's high standards and possess the core competencies for success in their positions at the
YMCA. Systematically we use screening techniques,the employment application,background
checks,reference checks,etc:=to screen out applicants who are at risk to abuse youth or
wlnerable adults. We've developed and maintain aa updated recruiting plan to anticipate and
meet the YMCA's current and future staffing needs. Employ a variety of legal,effecdve tools
and techniques,beyond a basic interview,to assess a candidate's qualifications for the position;
this may include online tools,interview guides,phone screenings,etc. The minimum age for
employment is primarily eighteen(18). However,there may be some employment opportunities
for fifteen(15)to seventeen(17)year olds with a valid work peimit. All employees over the age
of eighteen(18)aze to be fingerprinted upon hire. After fingerprints have been processed
through the State of California Department of Justice,and PBI,results will be t�eived by the
Human Resource Department and held confidential. Continued employment is subj�t to
fingerprinting clearance. Any employee is subject to termination of employment if the Criminal
History warrants such action. Additionally,employees must noh;/'y the Association of any arrest
and/or convicttons other than minor traffic violations,within five{S)days.Failure to do so may
result in disciplinary ac#on up to and including terminatlon. The YMCA recognizes its
responsibility to help provide a safe and productive work environment for all employees. In
support of this goal,the YMCA has a concern about substsnce abuse,since it may affect an
employee's producrivity and efficiency:jeopardize the safety of the employees,co-workers,
guests,volunteers,members,vendors and business partners;or violate State or Federal Statues.
Therefore,we are committed to remain a drug free workplace. All new employees are required
to atte�d a YMCA Employee Orientation and Child Abuse Prevention training prior to the first

project completion and catificate of occupancy. Our standard purchase policy would be in
place,for items over$500 we wouid require 3 bids and PO's need purchaser's signature along
with those of the d'epartment head and CEO. Items are inspected at tixne of delivery and once •
accepted they are togged in as assets. Labor needs will be handted by our Human Resources
department. We advertise our available jobs to the public through a variety of announcements.
Selection is based on qualifications;we do not discriminate due to race,religion or sex.
Furthermore,Aquaric positions may require several certifications and those will be inspected for
cuirent status. All YMCA employees are finger printed and checked through the State Attorney
General's office for any convictions. All new YMCA personnel will receive child abuse training

Proposer'a Note:
The new Palm Desert Aquatic Center will be a jewel in the city's crown if we can get a great
aumber of people using it. It is important to remembet that we would like this center to be a
place all Palm Desert residents caa enjoy. For that reason,we feel it would be importsnt to have
a financial assistance program un place to assist iow income Palm Desert residents. Developing
funds to cover such a program could be raised in several ways and the YMCA has the expertise
necessary to achieve such goals. The YMCA could raise money for the sole purpose of creating
a fund to help cover the costs of financial aid for ldds and families that need lessons or would
like to use the center but do not have the financial means. These fimds could go directly to an
account for that purpose only. This would be very similar to the way the McCallum Theater
funds all the free programs for the school kids. The YMCA would suggest a 20%fiader's fee for
the development of this fimd. A Friendslup wall,sponsorships or naming rights could help '
develop tlris fund in a way that everyone benefits.

Emergencv and Accident Management Procedures
SPINAL IlVII�IOBILIZATION EQUIPMENT
Always have spinal immobilization devices(SIDs)readily available for emergency handling of
suspected spinai injuries.The device must be sinkable in order to transfer the victim onto it.
These devices should also be sufficiently long and rigid to immobilize the victim from head to
foot and prevent any bending of the victisn's body when the device is lifted&om the water.Also,
. the device must be wide enough to prevent any lateral movement,but not so wide as to prevent
its use in an ambulance:Finally,tb.e device must haye.�nough handho�ds and openings to� . , .
accommodate lifting and the use of bandages and/or straps to immobilize the victim on it.
In addition to the SID,you should have cervical collars of various sizes to accoxnmodate the
various neck sizes of victims.These cotlars can prevent or reduce the chance of any neck
Appendix Page 26
74
movement.
Bandages and/or commercial straps for immobilizing the victim on this SID,must be strong and
non-elastic.A totat of 8 to 10 bandages,or four straps pius bandages for the head and feet,�are
required.
You can use several rolled towels or a rolled blanket placed on both sides of the victim s head to
prevent any lateral movement of the head and neck.
EMERGENCY FIRST AID
You must have emergency first aid supplies,equipment,and facilifies to handle any trauma
associated with fa11s on slippery decks,ladders,and diving boards,as weil as to handle non-
traumatic medical emergencies(such as heart attack,heat stroke,and so forth).
If possible,organize a permanent facility where a victim can be assessed and treated.This
facility should afford privacy for the patient,as weli as environmental control.The facility
should have several chairs plus a cot.A sink with running water would also be helpful.Keep an
inventory of restockable supplies in tttis facility.Maintain a bound first-aid book,logging all
emergency first aid care for future reference as well as for statistical information regarding
accidents,injuries,and ilinesses at the facility.
LIFEGUARD RESCUE EQUIPIVIENT
Have reaching and extension poles(shepherd's crooks),ring buoys,and rescue buoys readily
. available for emergency use.Ring buoys should be U.S.Coast Guard approved type N Personal .
, Floffitian.Devices(PFDs)and should have SO'r60'of line att�acheti.The line should be thin ' . ,
' enough and of ap�ropriate materiai to peinut flight of the buoy when thrown,yet strong enough
to tow a victim to safety. .
Appendix Page 27 .
75
Equip open water facilities with rescaie paddle boards or rescue boats for patrol and rescue.ln
addition,you should have snorkeling or scuba equipment for search and rescue operations.If
scuba equipment is available,certify personnel in its proper use.
RESPIRATORY EMERGENCIES
If your facility uses chlorine gas for water trealment,have self wntained breathing apparatus
available for general maintenance in and around the chlorine room,as well as for rescue and
evacuation pur�wses.This apparatus should be worn aay time tanks are being changed or when
leaks are suspected.Train all lifeguard and maintenance personnel in its use,as well as in
emergency rescue procedures.
, Provide oxygen administration and adjunct equipment to handle any respiratory or cardiac
emergencies that could occur as a result of heart attack,drowning,toxic gas,and so forth.This
includes oxygen liter floor units and masks.Lifeguards will nced supplementary training in the
use of oxygen equipment and resuscitation masks since tlris training is not within the normai
lifeguard training curriculum.
LIFEGUARD CERTIFICATIONS
Be sure all lifeguards are trained and certified in lifesaving/lifeguarding,first aid,and CPR.This
training is available through the American Red Cross,the YMCA,and other training agencies.
They will need suppiementary traimng in the use of oxygen administration,resuscitation masks,
. self-contained breathing appar�tus,and scuba if this equipment is available.
, HIRING AND SUPERVISIQN OF LIFEGUARDS _ • �
Regardless of the lifeguard's level of certification,carefully screen all lifeguard candidates prior
to hiring.Evaluate their know2edge and skill proficieacy,and require certification in
lifesaving/lifeguarding,first aid,and CPR.
App�ndix Page 28
76
Once you have hired a lifeguard,plan and implement in-service training programs before the
season begins and maintain the training throughout the season.Many communities have
sponsored lifeguard competitions as a means to increase the lifeguards'motivation for,
participation in in-service training programs and to serve as a goal for which the lifeguards can
strive.
LIFEGUARD UNIFORMS
Issue appropriate uniforms to lifeguards so that they can be readily identified.Uniforms can
consist of an appropriate styled shirt or jacket,a bathing suit,and a suitable hat to protect them
from the sun's rays.They should wear appropriate sunglasses at ali times to pintect their eves
from the sun,as well as to assist them in carrying out their supervisory responsibilides.Finally,
lifeguards should have an appropriate wlusde to gain patrons'attention and to alert other
lifeguards during emergencies.
LIF'EGUARD OPERATIONS
Plan operational procedures for emergency rescue and first aid response,lost bather and missing
person situarions,and chlorine or other chesmical emergencies.Telephones should be available to
alert EMS,fire,and law enforcement agencies during these emergencies and all pelsonnel should
know how to properly communicate with emergency dispatchers.
Clearly post rules and regulations for all patrons to read.This witl also help the lifeguard when
trying to enforce the facility rules and regulations. . .
. ' Dete�mine opeiational�rocodures in advance as to how employees ahould respond to thunder • .
. and lightrung storms,.including clearing the facility and prohibiting patrons and staff from
congregating under umbrellas,trees,and so farth.The operational procedures plan should atso �
include procedures to be followed once the storm has passed.
. . . Appendix Page 29
77
Finally,aquatic staff should communicate with emergency agencies and coordinate their efforts
with lifeguard personnel so that the EMS,fire,and police personnel are familiar with the facility.
A lifeguazd's primary responsibilities include prevention of accidents and emergency situations,
rescue,and emergency care.The"Eight-Point Plan"prepares facility managers and tifeguards to
prevent emergencies from occurring,as well as to deal with rescue and first sid emergencies
should that be necessary.
Record Keeping
There will be a binder with daily logs for the foliowing:
Cl and Ph levels for all pools(checked hourly)
Indoor and outdoor checklists/procadures for aquatics staff(please refer to facility inspection
fozm above)
Daily attendance for the aquatics facility

Reducing Germ Contamination of Swimming Pools
STEP 1:Lead your staff.
Every aquatic facility is different with distinct priorities that have to be juggled on a daily basis
while working within limitations on staff and t�esources.However,all aquatic facilities matce
safety and health a top priority.
Making a choice to integrate an RWI protectian plan into an existing faciIity risk management
plen is the single greatest decision you can make to protect swimmers from RWIs.Take the lead,
outlizie your vision,show your commitment to your staff,and put yourself at the forefront of the
aquatics field.Decide that RWI protection is a priority;back it up with resoum.e investment and
commitment,and that will set the tone for the rest of the staff.Determine wlrich of the Healthy
Swimming recouunendations aze feasible to implement in your facility with available resources.
Investing heavily after the outbreak occurs,a common occurrence,is great but it would have
bcen better for the public's health and more cost-et�ective if this were done before the outbreak
occuired.
STEP 2:Develop Partnerships
. Building a communication bridge to your health depsrtznent and other aquatic facilities.is a.great
. way to get inforcnation about other outbreaks occuiring in your community..If you start to hear
about outbreaks associated with other poots,daycares,schools,etc.,where your swimmers
attend,then take proactive measures and increase vigilance to protect your pool.Increase
education of staff,swiinmers,and visiting daycare groups.If a pool closes because of a
. Appendix Page 38
86
suspected outbreak,that does not mean that all of the swimmers shoutd descend on your pool
without giving them some education about RWI prevention.Work with your health department
to get the word out when a potential RWI outbreak is occurring.Remind them that one of the
messages to send out whenever a diarrh�al outbreak is occurring is"don't swim when ill with
diarrhea."Use your wmmunication networks and the media to alert patrons that they should not
be swimming if they are ill with diarrhea.Protect your facility,make the contacts earty,and
build a communication network so that you are aware of the health status of your community at
all times.
STEP 3:Educate pool staff:
Z. Ensure that the pool operator,at a minimvm,has taken pert in a standardized training
course given by aquatics professionais.
2. Integrate the"Steps"for Healthy Swimming(see poster on next page)into staff haining.
3. Promote good hygiene and safety around the pool by knowing the"Steps"for Healthy
Swimming. •
4. Inform parents that unhealthy behaviors at poolside and elsewhere are no longer
acceptable.Parents told CDC that they wanted to be able to rely on the lifeguards for help
� and eaforcement.
5, Ensure t�at all staff know the critical role o�water testing,.proper testing methods,and
' . .how to respoqd if disinfectant level�are not adequate. .
6. Make sure that staff can explain,in a way that is inoffensive and acceptable to parents,
why behaviors such as using public tabtes and chairs for diaper changing is a heaIth risk.
� • Appendix Page 39
$7
This may require that an older,more experienced staff member be assigned to the ldddie
pool.
7. Maintaining pool water quality according to e�cisting public health requirements wili
prevent the spread of most recreational water illnesses(RWIs).
STEP 4:Educate swimmers and parents.
1. Educate your season pass holders.You may choose to begin by educating them fust since
they may feei more ownerslup of the facility and want to make the facility as safe as
possible.
2. Educate your daily patrons.You might hand out prevention messages{"Steps"for
Healthy Swimming or CDC brochure)as patrons enter the pool or park area.
3. Remember that people care about their health,so a lead-in might be:"To ensure tha
health and safety of all our visitors,we ask that you remember to foliow these easy
"Steps"for Healthy Swimming."
Consider iraplementing a short safety and RWI orientation for lazger groups before they enter the
pool complex.This is especially important for groups with young children.

levels will prevent most bacteriai outbreaks such as E.coli 0157:H7.
Be sure to monitor clilorine regularly where the chlorine is needed—at poolside.You should be
able to prevent waterparks,pools,or hot tubs from running out of chlorine through regular
monitoring,and pumphouse and systems checks.
Ensure regular and thorough maintenance of the r�irculation and filtration equipment to provide
maximum filtration.
STEP 6:Evalaate aquatfc facility destgn.
Some pools and waterparks have already started to redesign their facilities for the purpose of
illness proteetion.
If you aze building a new waterpark,get feedback from your industry colleagues and public
health experts about the safety snd protection features you need to consider in the design stage.
Pool designers will respond to you,their customer,if you are clear that your public health needs
are a high priority and you consider it an investment in safe operations.
Evaluate your Sltratfon system. .
If your kiddie pool filtration systan is connected with other pools,fecal contamination can be
. dispersed from the kiddie pool to the other p.00is.T��best situation is.one in which�there is a ' .
separate fiitration system for the kiddie pool.
Increasing the water hunover rates in kiddie pools may decrease the length of time that
swimmers are exposed to contaminating germs.This dec;ision needs to be made in coliaboration
• Appendix Page 42
90
with your state and local regulators and design consultants to avoid causing suction injuries.This
may require installation of antivortex drain wvers(with no top openings and automatic cut-off
valves). � �
When it comes to the spread of some illnesses,Etltration can help but it takes substantial time to
completely filter the pool.
Evaluate your form of disinfecHon.
There is a great deal of interest in new technologies that disinfect pooi water such as ozone,
ultraviolet(LTV)irr�liadon,and mixed oxidants.
They look promising.Seek out the experts for the latest information but keep in mind that you
are still going to need some residual disinfectant in the pool when using ozone aud W.
STEP 7:Institute disinfection guidelines.
Even if you are not required to do so,have a written fecal accident response policy and keep
records of all fecal accidents,chlorine and pH tevel measurements,and any major equipment
repairs or changes.This may help you respond more efficientty to any problems.You may have
little con�ol over a toddter's soiling your lciddie pool,but you do have control over how you
. document and respond to this occurrence. - . .
� . . . Appendix Page 43
91
STEP 8:Evaluate hygiene fadlities.
In CDC's parent interviews,parents uniformly said they change diapers at poolside because
changing rooms were unclean,poorly maintained,and/or had inadequate diaper-changing
facilities.
Here are some questions that you wuld ask to improve your facilities:
• Do you have an adequate number of facilities?
• Are the facilities close to the pool?
• Are the facilides well maintained(stocked and cleaned)?
• Would you wallc barefoot in them as your patrons do7
Remember...aslc your patrons for feedback.
If your facility is large enough,determine the utility of hiring a person just to maintain the
restrooms or consider remodeling your diaper-changing stations.Both improvements may be
good investments if khey increase the number of parents and children who use them.
Install diaper-changing cabanas with soap and running water close by the kiddie pools.This is a
great way to discourage parents from changing diapers on tabtes or lounge chairs.It aan also
,help mothers who are'also keeping an eye on ottter kids.Aithough di�'icult;keep pushing to get .
� swimmers to shower(yes,a soap amd water,baok-end shower)befor�using the pool.Dirt,sweat, .
and fecal matter should go down the drain,not into your pool.Train staff to recognize risky
behavior such as changing a child on public tables or chairs.Have them educate patrons about �
why this is a health risk. �
Appendix Page 44
92
STEP 9:Develop a batiuoom break policy.
CDC hopes to heighten awareness about the transmission of recreational water illnesses(RWIs).
Parents will continue to want to see regul8r chlorine testing and appropriate disinfection
foliowing fecal accidents.Therefore,why not reduce fecal accidents by helping parents get their
children to the bathroom by scheduling an hourly break for disinfec,Kant testing and battu�oom
use?Staff should let patrons know that this break provides optimal timing for bathroom use.
Additionally,to prevent transmission of germs,you should ensure that the bathrooms aze clean,
that they are stocked with toilet paper,and that they have ample soap for hand washing.If
parents ask,te11 them this policy not only reduces fecal contamination but also should reduce the
amount of urine in the pool that uses up disinfectant that couid be lcilling germs.
STEP 10:Create a special policy for large groups of young children.
If you allow large groups of diaper/toddler-aged childr�in the pool(for example,from daycare
centers)consider:
• Requiring RWI orientation training for the care providers and make sure they understand
that your pool,like most daycare centers,also excludes chiidren itl with diarrhea.
• Keeping diaper/toddler-aged�cluldr�in the pools sp�ifically designated for them.
' . STEP 11:Post and distribute health informatiop. . . .
Consider providing signage in a conspicuoas locarion before pool entry.
The sign aright state:
. , Appendix Page.45
93
• Don't swim when you have diarrhea.
• Don't swailow the pool water.
• Wash your hands with soap and water after using the restroom or'changing diapers:
• Take your kids to the bathroom often.
• Change diapers in the bathroom and not at poolside.
• Wash your child thoroughly(especially the rear end)with soap and water before
swimming.
Encourage swimmers to shower with soap and water before entering the pool.This could reduce
the risk of pool contamination by removing invisible fecal matter from their bottoms.A quick
rinsing over a swimsuit with cold water will not do much good.Facility staff,managers,and
home pool staf�should consider having�hot water available in shower facilides used by
swimmers.The recreational water sector is not the only group that needs to participate in the
educational process.Parents have told us that they would like to receive this message from
various sources before they arrive at the pool.Public health officials have already begun to
educate swimmers by making prevention messages available to the general public.
STEP 12:Develop an outbreaWemergency response plan.
The best advice is to be prepared.If an outbreak does occur,aze you ready?
Do you'have a plan?. . �� • . . ' ' . . '
Most pool staff already have a risk management plan for injuries and drowning,but many do not
have plans for managing a recreational water illness(RWn outbreak. �
, ,Appendix Page 46
94
• Develop a policy to follow in the event that you begin getting calls from the public,or the
health department starts an investigation.Part of this ptan should include a shategy to
communicate with the local health department and media '
• Appoint a spokesperson to ensure that a consistent response is given to outside sources
(callers,media,health depaziment,and others),and that these sources have a clear contact
person.
• Talk to your colleagues who have experience.It can be difficvlt if you are not ready to
speak with reporters and an outbreak occurs.
• Collaborate with your local health department.This is always important,plus the
investigation may indicate a source unretated to die pool.
• Support the investigation.If the pool is the source of the outbreak,the investigation can
often reveat how or why illness was transmitted.Tlris information leads to better illness
ptevention strategies that can help everyone.

Signing PlWosophy
Philosophy:
The proposer fully understands that all signs must be clearly visible and legible fcom
short and far distances and must be regularly checked for updates and sign maintenance. The
aquatics staffwill happily provide aquatic facility tours in which they will point out each sign to
the patrons and explain what they mean and why they are posted in specific places. This will
give patrons a good chance to ask any safety questions they may have so patrons and staff
members aze all on the same page. The proposer will also order extra signs as back-up should
anything happen to the signs posted. All rules and regulations must be abided by for anyone
entering the facility,and anyone that does not abide by rules and regulations will be given a
waming andlor prompfly removed from the facility. All signs will be bilingual.
Types of Signs:
