Present: Chairman Barney Shull, members Don Smith, Al Johnson Rae Jackson. Phil Rutherford Facilities Director was also present. The minutes were approved as written. Al questioned whether or not we could change the weight program having two hours in the morning and two in the evening. The Board said to ask Eddie to check into possibility of doing this, at least do for a week and try it out. Tony Caminiti and Phyllis Bruce were present representing the Swim I Association. They read a letter to the Board from Mrs. Bruce explaining the delay at the pool and that it will be opened May 24 for use. Mr. Caminiti then asked why since there was a delay in getting the pool repaired did we not do all the other repair work so it would be ready when Saturday came. Mr. Caminiti was informed that all work would be done by Saturday as requested. That Mr. Rutherford was in charge of all facilities in the i� Recreation Department and that there were several programs going on at this time that also needed attention and that there were only two Recreation ` Board employees who were working constantly to keep all facilities ready for use. He was also informed that the delay in being able to open the pool May I was because we could not find anyone who knew how to repair the pool. That the guy just happened to stop by and ask if we were having any problems, that was how we found him to work. Tony mentioned problem we were having with bathrooms. Al told him that Susan Smith unlocked and locked bathrooms when she was at the Tennis Courts. Rae suggested that maybe Susan ought to inspect the restrooms before they are used and before she locks up. This led to discussion about need for putting back up barbed wire to keep people from climbing over fence into pool area. Don Smith so moved, Al Johnson i seconded and motion carried unanimously. The bills were approved on motion by Al Johnson, seconded by Don Smith and unanimously carried. Barney brought up under old 'business the golf course project. He had worked up cost figures for new layout and they came to $2,900,000.00 He had sheet showing suggested costs and receipts coming for one year. The Board after discussion said there was no way they could see going out on a bond issue for this amount. That Mr. Corte needed to be informed that if he insists that we are going w/new layout it would be prohibitive for the City to do. Barney said he would contact Mr. Corte and see if he had something to present to the Council by Monday night. Rae Jackson moved to pay Phil Rutherford a bonus for extra work required during summer months in the amount of $300.00. Al Johnson seconded and motion carried unanimously. There being no further business to come before the Board meeting was duly adjourned.
