~ insurance policies could ~e extended to cover such areas. Some discussion centered about schoo11iabi1ity in case or such acci- dents. City Manager Dimmitt said he wo~ld take up the matter with the city's insurance company. The project is to be organ- ized for completion 'iri 1941, the commission decided. ' CO~TTEE REPORTS: \-/ Commissioner Vand8rborden and Mr. Morton reported on the poss- ibility of constructing a municipal, outdoor dance floor similar to that in Larkspur, for use during summers. The city manager suggested the idea was not too attractive as a municipal propos- ition, but might be a good project for a service club or some other such volunteer group. The committee was asked to continue working on ways and means of establishing such a project, as well as other money-raising schemes. - UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Mr. Morton reported he has started his juvènile delinquency chart of the city. It will take a year to secure an adequate pic- ture of the situation, he said. NEW BUSINESS: ^ The city manager reported the transfer of the yacht harbor to the jurisdiction of the recreation commission was nearly com- plete. He reported that a lifeguard, Mr. Kenneth Sheets, had been appointed at a wage of 50 cents an hour for the remainder of the , summer, or until a Work Projects Administration employe can be obtained. Payment of the lifeguard must be met by the yacht har- bor fund, estimated at $1650 for 1940-41, he said. It was made clear that payment of the guard is not contemplated as an obli- gation of the recreation budget. Considerable discussion on the matter of improvements was held. Mr. Frank McAuliffe of Redwood City presented a diagram of possible expansion of the swimming facilities, and suggested such improvements as removal of barnacles from the float, cur- tailment of fishing off the float, etc. MSC that such improvements as are financially feasible at the present time be instmtued immediately by the city manager. oJ MSC that a p~an for the committee design for the 1941 July fourth Celebration be approved.
