4.1 REQUEST BY TSUNAMI AQUATICS FOR POOL FEE REDUCTION
General Manager Barry stated that the Tsunami Aquatics has requested a
reduction in their fees for the swim meet scheduled for November 19-20, 2005 at
the RobertLivermore Community Center. At its regular meeting of March 9th,
the Board approved the request to keep the RLCC pool open until the end of
November, 2005 so that the Tsunami Aquatics can hold their swim meet. The
Board’s action was made with the understanding that Tsunami Aquatics would be
paying for all appropriate fees and charges associated with the pool and
adjacent facilities.
Sr. Recreation Supervisor Carlson and Aquatics Supervisor Grant answered
questions from the Board and explained the RLCC fee structure compared to other
agencies in thearea and discussed the letter from Mr. Alex Dourov, a
representative from the TsunamiAquatics, requesting LARPD to re-examine the
pool rental costs and bring the cost into line with their studies of fee
structures of other agencies in the area.
Aquatics Supervisor Grant stated that she disputes the study by Tsunami
Aquatics because and she does not understand it. She does feel that the LARPD
fee structure is accurate and is in-line with what other agencies charge for
swim meets by the data that was collected.
Chair Furst opened public comment.
Katherine Carlo, a Tsunami Aquatics parent, addressed the Board. Ms.
Carlo stated that
Mr. Dourov could not attend the
meeting and she will address the cost comparison analysis that he did and
answer questions. Ms. Carlo stated that with the current fee structure it will
be difficult for the swim club to break even with the meet.
Don Swanson, 1861 Helsinki Way, a Tsunami Aquatics parent, addressed
the Board.
Mr. Swanson stated that the swim club was looking forward to holding
their meet inLivermore at the RLCC pool in hopes that it would draw other swim
clubs to holdingtheir meets in Livermore. He supports the cost analysis study
done by Mr. Dourov and requests LARPD reduce the cost to rent the RLCC pool for
their swim meet.
Chair Furst closed public comment.
On a motion by Director Kamena, seconded by Director Turner approved
supporting the staff and denying a reduction in pool fees to the Tsunami
Aquatics for their swim meet, passing 4-0.(Director Faltings absent)
4.2 SECOND BOARD MEETING HELD DURING THE MONTH
General Manager Barry stated that this agenda item was initiated by
District Legal Counsel Kyle who is absent from the meeting.

reconsider the item regarding the second Board meeting held during the month.
General Manager Barry suggested putting this item off until the
December Board meeting when changes to the Board Policy Manual will be
discussed.
Chair Furst asked General Manager Barry to check with Legal Counsel to
see if there is a legal reason why this item needs to be discussed now or if it
can wait until December when the Board will review the Board Policy
Manual.
