9 (Continued from page 8) Facility report: The county has ruled its planned enforcement and interpretation of the new Federal law governing pool drains. Every public pool must have two drains outfitted with the new drain covers. The bench refurbishment and replacement project was completed. The two new pool heaters have been delivered. We are waiting for additional parts and the scheduling of there installment. The new pool vacuum was purchased and is operational. Rental report: None provided Old business: There was no business conducted over the last two months for discussion. New business: The diving pool will have to be modified with an additional drain. Brad is concerned that the pool will have to be drained to accomplish this work. The plaster in the diving pool is old. Brad is worried that the plaster will not hold up. It is possible that the diving pool will need to be re-plastered as part of this project. The cost of adding the new drain, re-plastering the pool, and re-filling the pool has not been estimated to date. Colin suggested we look into having a fiberglass material applied to the plaster. He will research the product to find out more about it and whether it can be used in commercial pools. A motion was made to table the roofing project until the cost of adding the second drain to the diving pool is discovered was made. The motion was unanimously approved by the Board. Swim Team: The Swim Team made a proposal to consolidate its financial dealings with the Cabana Club due to tax liabilities. o Brad researched this issue in the by-laws and determined that the Board can appoint a sub-committee and appoint at least two members from the Cabana Club to it (bylaws section #9 - #10). o The Board unanimously agreed to formulate a resolution that will officially incorporate the Swim Team under the Cabana Club. o Brad will consult our CPA as to the particular tax liabilities that the Cabana Club will need to be wary of, and how the books for the Swim Team should be maintained (whether maintaining separate books for both organizations is okay.) The Swim Team will be contacting their accountant and have two $5,000 checks sent to the Cabana Club. The checks are donations to the club to cover costs of the new heaters and to help with the costs of adding the new drains to the diving pool. Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 p.m. by President, Brad Geldert. Minutes prepared by Shawn Francis Page 9
