WELCOME/ INTRODUCTIONS Chairman Huston called the meeting to order. Staff Present: Julia Jones, Director of Parks and Recreation Penny Williams, Recreation Division Manager Scott Williams, Recreation Division Manager Brock Davis, Parks Division Manager Stacey Welter, Administrative Secretary 2. OLD BUSINESS A. Approval Of Minutes Chairman Huston asked for the approval of the minutes from December 10, 2018. Tracey Glenn made a motion, seconded by Pete Frazier. Motion approved. Aquatics Facility Committee Update Recreation Division Manager Penny Williams reported that City Council unanimously voted to partner with Cape Public Schools at the Jefferson Location for the pool location. The School Board will have to vote next. Board member Tracey Glenn stated that the site was not an ideal location but she wanted to know how the board will move forward with this. Percy Huston responded and said that he doesn't believe the board needs to take an official position. He said that the Park Board's opinion was not asked during this whole process and he felt like they should have been involved. Several board members expressed that a smaller pool on school property was not what they were selling in PRS2. They believe that investors will be limited due to the location. Kevin Noel would like to see more details of what has been discussed and planned. Stacey will send out the three designs OLC provided. He questioned why they were in such a hurry to spend $6 million if there isn't a plan that meets expectations. Beverly Evans stated that there could be some long term implications of what was decided upon. She believes another pool will eventually need to be built that's not attached to the school. Roger Hudson stated that the school will lose more than just a pool if the bond does not pass. Board members expressed that there are too many unknowns. Councilman Dan Presson said that the majority of comments he has heard was that the city does not need to be involved in the pool business. In closing, Tracey Glenn thanked Percy Huston and David Cantrell for stepping up and speaking at the council meeting. She said they did a good job even though the council was very defensive. New Business A. Fee Increases for Cape Splash i. Division Manager Penny Williams reported that they are proposing a mid -year budget adjustment for Cape Splash. The adjustment would be a fee increase of $1.00 to the admission price. These increases will help off -set salary increases for life guards and minimum wage increase. B. Minimum Wage Discussion i. Division Manager Penny Williams reported that they are currently working on a decision. Government Municipalities are not required to increase minimum wage, however there is a fear amongst staff that if minimum wage is not increased then they will lose workers and have a hard time hiring employees to work below $8.60. Kevin Noel argued the fact that they may need to be charging more if Cape Splash is hitting capacity every weekend. Mrs. Williams said that they were looking at weekend rates to help with that. She also mentioned that Cape Splash is reducing their hours to 11:OOam to 6:OOpm. Closing an hour early will help with the lifeguard situation. Tracey Glenn would like to know how they can attract lifeguards. Mrs. Williams informed the board that they are working with Cape Central to include lifeguard training in lieu of PE Class. In the past they have charged $155 for guard training, and now the city will cover this fee if they work so many hours for them. Tracey Glenn suggested featuring a current guard and interview them as to why they like their job and promote that on social media. Perks/Incentives for employees are also areas to look into. 4.
