A case management visit is being conducted in regards to the Licensee's pool area. Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rachel Zeron and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Aaron Ross made an unannounced visit to inspect the type of wall the pool has surrounding it. LPA and LPM took census and met with Licensee to discuss the reason for the visit today. It appears that the front side of the wall is enclosed with a 5 foot bricked with a self latching and self closing wrought iron gate in the middle is that is locked and secured. LPA/LPM observed an alarm on the gate that was operable during this visit. The right side of the pool is enclosed with a wrought iron fence and gate, the left and back wall are both shared brick walls with neighbors. With the brick wall being in place at this time, according to regulation, the fence can not obscure the view from the pool. The Licensee was informed the brick wall does not meet Title 22 regulations. The Licensee agrees to bring the pool into compliance by either installing a fence that meets regulations requirements or installing a pool cover. The Licensee also agrees to provide 100% visual supervision to children when playing outside in the backyard. The Licensee was informed to review the following regulations sections prior to making modifications to the pool fencing. In addition, the licensee was advised to contact the local Licensing Agency if she has any questions. 102417 Operation of a Family Child Care Home (g) The home shall be free from defects or conditions which might endanger a child.

The bottom and sides of the fence shall comply with Division 1, Appendix Chapter 4 of the 1994 Uniform Building Code.
