SWIMMING POOL COMMITTEE
MINUTES OF JANUARY 13, 2005 MEETING
Present: Kate Stevenson, Marvin Carter, Jerry Ready, Cai Cumin, and Donna Hirt. Also
present: Mayor Ken Olson (late), Jennifer Johnson, City Councilperson and Brian Milne and
Craig Canfield from Interstate Engineering. Steve Klotz and Robin Herman excused.
No public input.
Marvin moved and Donna seconded that the minutes of the last meeting be approved as
distributed; motion carried.
Discussion of the alternate pool styles as submitted by Interstate Engineering. Kate indicated
that Robin and Steve had indicated to her that they liked Plan 2; Donna also liked this one but
indicated that the lifeguards and pool managers liked Plan 1. Donna moved to go with Plan 2
and Jerry seconded; motion carried.
Then refinement of the recommended plan began. Donna noted that the children's play area
should have spray facilities but no standing water, so the design will need a fence to keep the
little kids from drifting to deeper water. Question as to recireulation and depth in the plunge
pools and whether water would just be allowed to splash out. Brian said the pools will have a
recirculating gutters; the pools will be four feet deep. The lifeguards' room was moved to the
filter room area. Lots of discussion on parking, and this will be shown at our next meeting when
the plan is superimposed on a photograph of the site.
Jennifer said we should include an outside-accessible restroom at the concession area---even it is
just roughed in at this time.
Marvin brought up the idea of using the existing pool as part of a skateboard park, but the
Committee felt it needed to focus on the swimming pool at this time.
Next meeting will be February l0th and the refinements talked about will be reflected in the plan
as well as its location on an aerial of the area.
Mayor Olson asked if we had considered the Park Maintenance District in any of our discussions
and was told we don't have £mal estimates on pool costs and operation as yet.
Marvin said we need to get RC&D moving on seeking funding assistance, and James Klessens
will be contacted.
Meeting adjourned.
