HUMBOLDT — Humboldt Municipal Pool will open its doors for the summer swimming season May 23.
The pool will be open 1-9 p.m. seven days a week, as long as weather allows and a Humboldt swim team competition isn’t being held. The pool will close at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays to allow for adult aerobics classes. Humboldt City Council members, at their regular meeting Monday, debated whether the pool should be closed while the aerobics classes are in session.
Council member Dan Julich suggested pool officials rope off an area for the aerobics classes while leaving a portion of the pool available for the general public.
However, Council member Sam Murrow noted that many of the adult aerobics participants are elderly and would have a harder time if younger swimmers were at the pool at the same time.
Murrow also noted that pool improvements last year were supported by a significant bloc of Humboldt’s elderly population because it would provide more recreation activities for adults.
The hour changes were endorsed by the city’s Swimming Pool Committee, Council member Sean McReynolds noted.
In a related matter, Council members hired Justin Lytle and Randi Barnett as co-managers. They will oversee pool lifeguards and be responsible for all concessions purchased and sold during the season. Barnett and Lytle begin work Saturday.
The pool season runs through Aug. 18.

WAYNE CARSON was appointed by Council members to fill the unexpired term of Jeremy Weilert. Weilert resigned his post after moving out of Humboldt’s First Ward to the other side of town.
Carson was the only applicant. His candidacy was endorsed by Mayor Bob Sharp. The seat will be up for re-election next April.

NUISANCE citations will be filed in Humboldt Municipal Court against Roy Fritch for a pair of properties he owns, a house at 916 Cherokee St. and for his business, Eighth Street Auto, 821 N. Eighth St.
Fritch has done some work to clean up the property on Cherokee Street although other work remains undone, Council members were told.
In addition, Humboldt Police Chief Dan Onnen said several untagged vehicles dot the Eighth Street Auto property and should be removed. The nuisance citation for Eighth Street Auto was approved with a 6-2 vote, Carson and Jerry Griffith opposed; the other nuisance citation was approved unanimously.
