86 <br /> <br /> determined that the reasonable approach is to pass on to lap <br /> swimmers the operating cost of their program, rather than to <br /> increase the cost of the family pass to subsidize the lap swimming <br /> program. <br /> <br /> Mr. Mercer requested Ms. Bengtson to clarify why a person who <br /> wanted to do some recreational swimming and not lap swim could buy <br /> a family pass at the same time that a lap swimmer would have to <br /> pay more to lap swim. <br /> <br /> Ms. Bengtson explained that during summer, the Center is open <br /> for recreational swimming from 1:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., during <br /> which time lap swimming is allowed. However, at 6:00 p.m., no <br /> recreational swimming is allowed; the Center is open only to lap <br /> swimmers until 7:30 p.m. Those who want to utilize the pool for <br /> the lap swimming hours would have to pay the lap swimming fee. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brandes inquired if the Park and Recreation Commission <br /> has reviewed this specific point. <br /> <br /> Ms. Bengtson replied that the Commission has seen the draft <br /> program fees. This will be go back to the Commission on Thursday, <br /> February 8th, after which it will go to Council. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver inquired if all swimming fees were increased or if <br /> only the lap swimming fee did. <br /> <br /> Ms. Bengtson stated that each year, there is a modest <br /> increase for some programs. But this year, the lap swimming <br /> stands out because it was separated from the family pass. <br /> <br /> Mr. Mercer requested Mr. Lowenthal to present his case at the <br /> Park and Recreation Commission meeting on February 8th, and if he <br /> is not satisfied with the results, he can attend the City Council <br /> meeting when the item comes on the Agenda. <br /> <br /> Ms. Cindy Lee, 6380 Stoneridge Mall Road, stated that there <br /> is a long wait for traffic lights to change at the Stoneridge <br /> Drive/I-680 Interchange. She inquired if something could be done <br /> about that. <br /> <br /> Mr. Mercer referred the question to Mr. Elliott. <br /> <br /> Mr. Elliott replied that the traffic lights at the Stoneridge <br /> Drive/I-680 Interchange are timed to coordinate with all the <br /> traffic moving in the Stoneridge Drive area. There may be <br /> extended waits for those people coming from the off-ramps; <br /> however, there should be a limit to the waiting time. He stated <br /> that he would look further into the matter and requested Ms. Lee <br /> to contact him. <br /> <br /> Mr. Mercer stated that the same problem exists at the <br /> intersection of Johnson Drive and Stoneridge Drive and requested <br /> Mr. Elliott to look into that as well. <br /> <br /> -4- <br /> 2-6-90 <br /> <br /> <br />
