City Council Meeting Minutes January 20, 2015 Page 2 of 18 Louisville Youth Advisory Board presented their year -long project, which is a proposal for a new aquatics center in Louisville. Their choices for projects were drug abuse prevention or a new aquatics center. The Youth Advisory Board feels a new aquatics center should be built between the Police station and the skateboard park. They stated the citizens of Louisville have desired an aquatics center since 2002 and noted there is a conceptual drawing at the Louisville Recreation Center. They are raising awareness for this project and trying to rally support for fund raising. They reported on residents' complaints about the Memory Square pool being overcrowded and having insufficient parking. The Youth Advisory Board will bring information to the City Council on the revenue sources when they have more support. If Council is interested in learning more, they may attend the Youth Advisory Board meetings at 6:30 p.m., on the first Thursdays of each month at the Louisville Recreation Center. They asked for the City Council's support on this project and thanked them for their service. Council member Loo asked if this area is included in the McCaslin Small Area plan. Planner II Robinson stated it is not included, but there is still time to make a change. Council member Loo informed Mitchell and Tyler Waters of the purpose of the McCaslin Small Area Plan and encouraged them to attend those meetings. Mayor Muckle thanked the brothers for their presentation. Mayor Pro Tem Dalton also thanked them for their presentation and for thinking big.
