The motion passed unanimously. 4. 25-1571 Discussion Regarding a Possible Resolution for Expanding Operating Hours at Bill Witt Aquatic Center Chair Lindsey began the discussion by asking Committee members to describe the type of input they have received from city residents regarding Bill Witt Aquatic Center. The consensus seems to be that there is some confusion about operating hours. There is a common sentiment that with the Pool being a new, multi-million dollar facility with great amenities, the public should have access on a more frequent basis. To prepare for a possible Resolution to expand operating hours, Chair Lindsey requested Staff provide budget data to reflect the cost of providing lifeguard services during the recommended alternative schedules (described in item #3). It was clarified that there is a difference in lifeguard service between the lap pool and the recreational pool. PRAC's intention is to promote additional hours for the lap pool and additional hours for the recreational pool during Spring Break/weekends after the Easter Holiday. She asked if Staff could strive to have the requested information available prior to their next meeting in November. Page 2City of Corpus Christi Printed on 11/14/2025
