You'd need these shifts: 1 from pool opening until 1pm. 1 from 10am til 3pm. One from noon til 5pm. One from 4pm til closing.
The entire Historic section would need just those 4 employees, going to Paradise, Hilltop, and Southside pools. They can also spend some time at the Rec area itself, making sure there aren't any unattended little kids using the sports equipment, and that kids under 13 aren't being allowed to use the outdoor exercise equipment as a playground by doting grandparents (Kids are not supposed to use them EVEN IF someone is watching them. The signs state as such).
That would be in addition to the existing rec center employees, who DO have to check IDs every so often at their rec center pools.

I agree with this post. Especially the part about using flowers or plants that are year around plants and do NOT need to be uprooted and replaced often. That is just a "stupid" waste of time and human resources expense.
