Council member Loo said the Task Force will host two open houses on May 4th; one in the morning and one in the evening. Council member Loo invited the Superior Board and residents to attend. The possibility of non - residents being able to use Superior's pools for a non- resident fee was brought up and discussed. Town Manager Magley gave an update on recreation opportunities in Superior. There have been multiple discussions about recreational opportunities within the Superior Town Center. Plans are still under discussion. Also, Superior owns 15 acres south of town but there are no plans currently under way to build a Recreation Center. There will be several parks in the Town Center. Trustees talked about possible plans in Town Center — it would be mostly meeting space with perhaps some room for classes. Mayor Folsom said there are a lot of moving parts in Superior and the Board does not feel there were enough users for a brand new recreational facility. Mayor Folsom would like to add a roof over their north pool. Council member Stolzmann said Louisville will look at all recreation fees. Mayor Folsom said there are good opportunities for ongoing conversations and for Superior and Louisville to work together.
