New Business Neeley read the following email that was received from swim teacher Mary Beth Anderson: My name is Mary Beth Anderson and I coach the High School Girls and Boys swim teams. I also coach the Evansville Blue Sharks during the summer. With our new pool opening this spring, I have a few questions I would like to get answered before then. I would like to amp up t hings for our swim team. I think that we will be seeing an increase in interest in the Blue Sharks. I would like to be able to have a total of 3 hours for practice for the ages 6-18. I would also l ike to add another program for the kids that can't quite make it across the pool and just need a little extra boost. Last summer I had 76 kids on the swim team and that was a low year for me. I see the team being well over 100 swimmers this summer. I would like to hire 2 assistant coaches. I believe that would help us become a better team and more competitive and also have a lifeguard on deck during practices. I would like to ask to also purchase a few things for the running of this program. I would like t o purchase 2 Deck Standing Pace clocks (Competitor 37in. Battery Powered Pace Clock $735-Swim Outlet), Colorado Infinity Starting system (Kiefer Aquatics $1,159.60), Active H yTek Meet Manager and Team Manager (Meet Manager $499, Team Manager $395). This software helps organize and run meets efficiently. I am hoping to host more meets at our pool which means that we will need to order ribbons (est. 300 ribbons/$100) and maybe medals if we hold a larger meet with multiple teams. We are in need of at least 8 Members Present/Absent Others Present Alderperson Cory Neeley P Scott Kriebs, Municipal Services Dir. (arrived at 7:00pm) Sue Merrit P Leah Hurtley, City Clerk Lyman Fuson A Chad Sigl A Matt Poock P Jim Espinosa P Gene Prudhon P 4 Minutes are not final until approved at the next regular meeting. stopwatches to run the meets, 8 clipboards, a bullhorn, 2 sets of backstroke flags. Of course I would also like to have a laptop assigned just for the swim team. There is a lot of work that needs to be done off deck with running the team and the amount of meets that I would like to have the kids doing. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you so much Mary Beth Anderson Poock credited Anderson’s ideas and requested to see the list of items with links on the website. 6.
