shows a trail oystom connocting with Torroll
Mill Park and a sidowalk system. She stated
the main issue that rolates to the comillion

corridor trail system. There haa beon some
discu88ion by the Riverfront Comiso1on about

Adrian Korpel, 2013 Laurenco Court, addreased
the commission reqardinq younqer owimmers
beinq allowed to swim durinq Senior Swim.
He noted he had disculled this with Hr. Horan
on several occuions, and they clme to an
understandinq that younqer' swimmers would
be aoked to leave. He said askinq tho younqer
people to leave had led to some nuty
incidenl:s. He also asked that stripes or
markinqo be placed on the ceUinq of the
Recreation Center pool to sorve as qUidelines
to help swimmers stay in their respective
lane.
Howard Wenqer, 80S E..~oor .Drive, addrolled
the commisaion on behalf of himself and his
wife pertaininq to the lifequarda. He stated
he had heard that whon chUdren are in the
pool, there are more l1fequards on duty and
they are very attentive, He indicated it
is at timeo when it is quiet in the pool and
people lap owimminq that tho life9Uards seem
to have a relaxed attitude. He referred to
the letter his wife wrote to Hr. Horan and
notes on observations made by his wife durin;
lap swimminq.
Kitty Davi.s, 1019 Carver :itreet, 'add relied
the commisaion reqardinq an incidont that
happened to her durinq lap swimminq at the
Mercer Park Aquatic Center. This involved
Swim Club youth jumpinq into the pool near
her, The l1fequard asked her if she was
alriqht, and said she should move over to
the other aide of the pool if she wanted some
peace, She felt this aituation should not
have happened - that tho Swim Club wu in
the slme area of the pool with the lap
swimmers,
"
Steve Thunder-McGuire, 420 H. Dubuque Street,
addressed the commission reqardinq safety
and consistency in tho morninq. He stated
he was a Htequard at one time and they were
not allowed to read or brinq in outside
material that would diotraot from their job,
He also indicated there have been times when
the l1fequard hu been late in openinq the
Recreation Center pool at 6130 a.m" and this
disrupts swimmers' schedules, Some swimmers
have left due to the pool not beinq opened
on time.

Mary Hoofor, 234 S. Lowell, addressed tho
commiosion rogarding oarly morning lap
sWil1llling at Morcor Park Aquatic Contor during
the summors. Sho notod tho swim Club has
use of tho pool in the early morning hours
and after work, making it hard for a working
porson to fit use of the pool into thoir
oohodules. Sho was also concerned about
~vercrowding during lap swim, making it a
dangerous situation, She also statod sho
would liko tho Rocroation Conter to run as
a business and to be moro concorned about
poople loaving to go to another pool.
Laura phoarman, 151 S, Westminstor, addreOled
the cOl1lllission regarding last summer when
they asked tho Swim Club to let tho pUblic
use a lane or two instead of closing the
Morcer Park Aquatic Centor down to the pUblic.
She also noted she was unable to swim prior
to or after work due to the Mercer Park
Aquatic Center being closed for Swim Club
use.
C,D.B.O.

Bev Folkedahl, 125 Oroen Mountain Drive,
addressod the commission rogarding the
possibility of altornating the summor programs
betwoon the two pools. She.ltated Ino felt
fruotrated as a taxpayer paying to support
tho pool and programs, and not being able
to use the Mercer Park Aquatic Centor when
she wanted to.
Watson stated thero may be many pOIsibilities,
but the commission and staff would need to
look at tho various concerns and try to come
up with somo solutions. He expressed
approciation on behalf of the commission for
tho. group taking the time to como to tho
moeting to express thoir concerns. Trueblood
stated staff would begin to look at tho
variouo issues and prepare a response.
A video presontation pertaining to the
C,D.B,O, program wao viowed by the commission.
Hudek stated tho video was done in-house,
and thought somothing on this ordor done by
the Parks and Rocreation Dopartment would

good idoa to pursue. Thore was discussion
