Emergency Operations Manager Jason Shaw said 19 splash pads opened this past week and three libraries are opening on Monday.
As for the rest of the city’s services, like pools, Shaw said those discussions are ongoing.
“We’re going to do things safely and slowly,” said Shaw. “There are significant challenges trying to adapt a new normal.”
The pools themselves aren’t the problem, but more the programming and cleaning around the pools, said Shaw.
“We want to do things safely.”
