Recreation Advisory Board Minutes March 18, 2019 Page2of3 Public Comments — Multiple speakers voiced their views of the Recreation Center Pool's hours and lane use allocations for the Monarch High School Swim teams. Paul Borth summarized the compromises reached to date, which were necessitated by the change in starting time of the High School and the schedules of coaches. The compromises were between these factors and the needs of recreational early morning swimmers. Speakers, including members of the team, explained their devotion to swimming and some of the difficulties involved with balancing sleep, school, jobs and putting in enough of the right types of practice to succeed. Additional compromises were proposed, such as the establishment of a JV Team. Lisa Norgard thanked everyone for their input. City Council Update • Jeff Lipton noted that The City Council is focused on the election and the budget. He added that sales tax trends are disappointing. He also explained that land use is a big focus at the moment, with many proposed changes in the Sam's Club and Conoco -Phillips areas of the community. He asked that we build a new 2020 budget for the Golf Course and Recreation Center. He asked Lisa Norgard to clarify our duties in this area, which she did by referring to our guidelines. Golf Course Strategic Plan, Staffing and Dashboard Dashboards • Nathan Mosely presented the Dashboards for both the Golf Course and the Recreation and Senior Center. These will be updated to present progress quarterly. Allocations will be shown as well. Rich Bradfield suggested additional improvements. Gene Kutscher noted the importance of including upgrades in mind when placing money aside to replace facilities and other depreciated items. Recreation Staff and Construction Update Staff Update • Paul Borth re -presented the staff proposal for the swimming pool use by Monarch high School. After discussion, a motion was made and unanimously approved to have the morning recreation swim hours at 5:30- 6:30 a.m., then having Monarch use 4 lanes plus access to a fifth lane until staff determines that recreational swimmers need that lane for safety, plus one injury lane in the other pool, all from 6:30-7:45 a.m. Monarch will use the family locker room. Motion: Norgard
