The high temperatures in St. Cloud are expected to be in the upper 80s on both Tuesday and Wednesday making the timing excellent for the opening of these pools.  Mayor Kleis indicated almost 2 weeks ago that they have budgeted to open all wading pools this summer and will open as many as they could based on the amount of staff they would be able to hire.  Kleis says it has been difficult to find lifeguards to staff these pools. The priorities of which pools would open has been determined based on past usage.
