Recreation Advisory Board Minutes July 22, 2024 Page 2 of 4 preparing for maintenance week and working on staffing for September, which includes finding enough daytime lifeguards. Dashboard and Programming Update — Kathy Martin The dashboard shows that the Rec Center is up almost 3,000 visits from last year. In general, the dashboard shows positive trends. Most items are up, except for youth activities and Memory Square. A $14,000 grant was not listed in the dashboard. Thanks to staff effort, the number of Rec Center memberships is up. Free Marshall Fire passes account for $57,090 in revenue, and these passes will extend through the end of the year. Programming update -- Kathy Martin • Staff is currently working on the September — December catalog. • Kathy asked program managers to look at programs and determine what's working, what's lagging, and any additional comments. Program supervisors are working hard and are at capacity. • Fitness classes are generally well attended. Personal trainers are in demand, with wait lists. Some instructors are leaving for various reasons. • The Childwatch program numbers are slower in the summer. Staff will consider eliminating slow times, if things don't pick up in the fall. • Senior Services presented detailed information in the June meeting. • In the Aquatics Program, swim lessons and youth water polo are in high demand. Various contracted programs use the pool space, including the Monarch swim team, which will be back in October. The Louisville Rec Center will have a "cold plunge." This will be unique in the state of Colorado. It will require a reservation and an extra fee. Attendance at Memory Square has been lower than expected. • Pool rentals and room rentals have been popular all summer long. • Youth soccer, basketball, and flag football have had large numbers of registrations. There is also an increase in diamond sports and co- sponsors. • The City needs a multipurpose turf field (or fields) and an update of the baseball fields at Cleo Murdock. The City also needs outdoor pickleball courts with lights. • There will be a 5-day option with the state -licensed preschool program. Golf Updates — David Baril • The parking lot was resurfaced a day early. The contractor did not add more spaces, as that plan would have involved removing landscaping. • The Junior PGA league and the Novice League are winding down, in conjunction with summer staff leaving. • Eight new hires are coming in. Seven are adults. • Many private outings are scheduled for August. The course charges a premium for these.
