Recreation Advisory Board Minutes February 22, 2021 Page 4 of 5 Paul Borth presented new pool amenity options, with money budgeted through 2023. o In 2021 a climbing wall could be added at the deep end of the program pool. o In 2022 a zip line could be placed in the splash pool bay. o In 2023 an inflatable obstacle course could be provided in the program pool. This requires additional staff time to set up and take down. Board discussion: The board wondered what children and teens actually want, and whether they would prefer more space for swimming and playing in the water, or if there are other options that they would prefer. Paul reported that he had contacted other facilities to find out what is popular, but had not conducted surveys of young people, which would have been been difficult with COVID restrictions. Board members suggested that the Dolphins swim team is a group that could be accessed for feedback. Comments about the new proposed amenities were favorable, but the board would like young people to have a say. Resolved: The staff should ask for feedback from 5 to 15-year-olds regarding new pool amenities. Motion: Michele Van Pelt Second: Lisa Norgard The motion was approved unanimously. Golf Course Update David Baril reported that snow has limited the golf course opening plans. The club has been bringing on staff to be ready to open, whenever the weather cooperates. The restaurant had a soft opening on the weekend of February 20-21 to train staff, which included an inspection by Boulder County Health. The restaurant has replaced some major equipment. The grand opening will be the weekend of February 27-28. The golf shop will reopen, with appropriate COVID protocols. The driving range is open for the general public, and has automatic social distancing. In response to a question about restaurant signage, Nathan Mosley replied that the main sign at the entrance showcases the name of the restaurant. Board members pointed out that the name of the previous restaurant on the building has not been completely erased.
