Pool Committee Meeting Minutes Thursday,January 29, 1998 Page 2 • $45 for resident plus$20 per additional swimmers and$55 for non-resident plus$25 per additional swimmer fee structure. The senior pass(+55 years of age)proposal was$25.00 for resident and$35.00 for a non-resident. The committee agreed these senior pass fees were very reasonable. A twilight season pass (after 5:00 p.m.)of$30.00 for residents and$40 for non-residents was designed for those who could only attend evenings after 5:00 p.m. when there is,historically, less activity at the facility. It was felt that no scale needed to be attached to this since this already is a good deal. The committee agreed. 5. Early Bird Discount. Lindberg was asked about the early bird discount. He explained it was for resident passes only, if purchased by May 1 by mail or in person. They would receive a ten per cent discount off the total. It is hoped that this will give the city adequate time to prepare the passes for each member on an identification card,plastic preferably. It was asked if there is a way to track these passes using a bar code card and a computer tracking system. Moreau told the committee it could be done using scanners on bar codes. Knutson asked how important it is to track usage, and Lindberg responded that Andover and other cities should know about their residents' use. 6. Fee Assistance. It was agreed that Anoka use the Richfield format for fee assistance for our low income residents. Though it is not in the budget,it is essential to the city to not eliminate children for participation due to economic hardship with the families. • 7. Concessions. Brandenburg informed the committee that C&H Distributing was the highest and only bidder of the eleven requests for proposals we sent out. The references all look good. The city will be receiving approximately$6.000 per year for this service. It is realized that the concessionaire will have to provide about$25,000 in equipment, and the city will supply them a three compartment hand sink. Blankenship asked how a complaint would be handled. Brandenburg explained the complaints will be handled by the Park Department,and we will discuss this with the contractor when they come in. 8. Leaving the Facility and Re-entering. Much like other pools in the metropolitan area, we will allow customers to leave the facility by stamping their hand. Muscovitz stated this is no guarantee they may return, depending on the capacity numbers of the facility. 9. Swimming Instruction. Because we have not heard from Anoka-Hennepin Community Education in response to our request,we have no answer. However, we are aware of the implications if the school district bows out. 10. Logo and Merchandise. Lindberg reported he will be presenting to the Park Board the logo ideas he will be receiving from a company in Texas. He then asked where we can merchandise these items we create. Perrin stated a good spot would be at the front reception areas where items could be displayed on the wall. He also suggested it
