“If someone tells me I need an answer for tomorrow, I'm just weird that way. Yeah, I know you didn't say it, Dan, but if we get a year to do it, Cooper, are we cool with that?”

“Just one question, if I may ask the council. I got an email from a lady that's a caregiver for a disabled person, and she had asked me if, you know, she appreciates giving the free swimming to the disabled, but as a caregiver, is there any discounts that we can give the caregiver for that? My first impression was I would just find out how much it costs for a year and just do it myself. I think that's a noble cause that we'd have to give a discount, maybe a 50% to the caregivers for the people caregiving for the disabled swimming in our pool. Either way, I'm going to make sure it happens, but…”

“I don't have that answer, Mayor. We agreed to do free for the disabled. I don't think we looked into that. You know, it's not the whole family, but it's somebody taking care of that person. So if it's a pass for both of them, Lord, please believe me, that would be the best thing ever to give a caregiver and them a pass to do that because that's what we have to do. So that's the only thing I ask besides that. I yield back to you, Mayor.”

“What's a vendor? A caregiver, the vendor is if you hire somebody to do it, but it's one-on-one. It's whoever's taking care of that individual. Because sometimes they bring their families.”

“No, the registration for disabled is great through Parks and Rec. There's medical records, there's all that, but just one person to care give. No matter if it's a therapist or the mom or the dad, just one person for that. That's the only thing I think of. I don't know. Council, we've got to do that.”

“The caregiver can be the therapist, Mayor. Yeah.”

“I think anybody that's disabled, I think we need to accommodate them. I just, that's just personal.”

“A lot of disabled people will go in and do therapy in pools. In the shallow in there. Yeah, that kind of.”

“Somebody that's a family member or a caregiver of that, not a vendor that comes and says, hey, I got free swimming and then starts to bill people to go into our pools. People take advantage of stuff. I get that, but a caregiver is somebody that's related to or assigned to take care of that person, not somebody that makes money off of that person. I don't know the forms. I don't know anything, but I'd just like to ask council if they could consider that.”
