Session 1889 <br />June 23, 2003 <br /> <br />applicants from coast to coast. The suggestions of the Prop K Committee had also been <br />incorporated into the search. Mr. Wagner restated that he was confident that the City <br />was doing everything in their power to put the word out and that any professional, <br />looking for this type of position, knows about the opening. <br /> <br />Mr. Lieberman inquired about the timing of Prop K Committee reports. Ms. Welsch <br />stated that it was her understanding that the next report by the Committee to Council <br />would be due in August. Mr. Ollendorff added that the next official report was in August, <br />but they always share informal reports to Council, Prop K and Park Commissions on <br />any steps of the project. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams asked the City Manager to send the report on the skateboard/rollerblade <br />park on to the Parks Commission. <br /> <br />Ms. Welsch concurred with Mr. Wagner's comments, but also said she was glad it was a <br />nationwide search for a new director of parks and recreation, because this will be a <br />challenging job. She stated that building a new facility and recreation program for all <br />residents takes special skills and she is happy that the search has gone nationwide. <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM # 3 - HEMAN POOL USE BY NON-RESIDENT SWIM TEAM: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff said that he agreed with the Park Commission's recommendation to <br />permit non-resident swim teams use of Heman Pool under very strict conditions, i.e., a <br />50% extra fee and subject to approval on a cancelable case by case basis by the <br />department of parks and recreation director. <br /> <br />Mr. Munkel moved to adopt the recommendation. Ms. Colquitt seconded the motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Lieberman asked who would be responsible for enforcing the rules and regulations. <br />Mr. Ollendorff replied that the responsibility would lie with the recreation staff and park <br />and recreation director. Mr. Lieberman inquired as to what constituted a non-resident <br />team. The City Manager answered that a resident team is one where more than 75% of <br />its members are University City residents. <br /> <br />Ms. Welsch noted that the Swim Club had determined that this recommendation was <br />unworkable in the present pool and had requested for this not to be added to the <br />agenda for action. Additionally, the parks staff had said that this was to only occur this <br />summer and that we would wait to see how it worked out through next year with the <br />renovated pool. In light of these facts, she would not be supporting this <br />recommendation at this time. <br /> <br />Page 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
