A quorum (3 or more) present, the following action was taken
by the Committee:
Mrs. Johnson attended the meeting in regard to an incident which
occurred August 2nd or 3rd at the swimming pool.
• Mrs. Johnson was attempting to enter the pool area in street
clothes to assist her 5 year old daughter with swimming when she
was told that no one in street clothes is allowed in the pool
area. She said she was treated disrespectively as a parent and
was asked to leave through the showers. She did not leave
through the showers but instead through the employee door.
She made several recommendations which she said she could back
up through the petition system if we so wish. The recommendations
are:
1. Either remove or lower the fence between the wading
pool and the swimming pool.
2. Move the fence out into the grassy area making more
room for people to set around the pool.
3. Allow towels inside the pool area.
4. Allow parents in street clothes inside the pool area.
5. Add a partial heating system for the pool.
The Committee took no actions on the recommendations but told
Mrs. Johnson we would contact her when we discuss the
. recommendations in a November meeting. She said she could get
names of parents who also want the changes on a petition if
necessary. She said the Laurel Pool has more restrictions than
any other place she has lived and urged us to relax the
restrictions in order to encourage more family participation.
