If we take an average of 7PM sunset plus 30 minutes to reach dusk that means a pool is open an average of 12 hours per day.
12 hours/day * $13/hour * 90 pools = $14,000/day or $5M/year
If the day is split into two shifts to avoid overtime considerations that would require a minimum of 180 additional employees.
But they would have to work seven days per week which is unreasonable. If we break the week into two parts with one employee working four days and the other working three that means 360 additional employees.
I'm not sure where Florida part-time/full-time rules kick in requiring benefits so maybe we will need three employees per position per week to keep the number of hours down for a total of 540 additional employees.
So an on-site ID checker for all but the sports pools would seem to require an additional $5M per year and 540 employees. The current VCCDD and SLCDD budgets anticipate $130M from amenity fees this year so coming up with an additional $5M/year would require an ADDITIONAL increase of 4%. Coming up with an additional 540 employees might be a bit more difficult.

You don't need on-site ID checking from open til close. You can have roaming ID-checkers who run a route that includes a few different pools. I posted on the previous page the general idea of it. Four employees TOTAL, each working part time, covering three or more pools, each day. So if you need them to only work 3 days a week (standard part-time employment here at The Villages) then you'd need 10 employees total to roam 3-5 pools each (depending on where the clusters of pools are located). That'd be the 7-day open-close operation, not 10 people all working at the same time.
Given the close proximity of several of the pools and rec centers, you could probably even get away with having them travel to 5-7 pools per employee, per shift, multiple times per shift. And people who are in the pool - need to be asked to get out of the pool and show their ID. And if they don't comply, then Community Watch comes in and instructs them to leave, or be trespassed.
