TVEM T: ROBERT HOPE SCHOOL SWIM PROGRAM

In Nay of this year the Letsumme Activities Committee came to
Councth with a recommendation that the School Swim Paognam for
1975 be continued as the tndoor pook had not been competed;
Counctl approved the recommendation.
Due to the fact that the dndoor pook was going to Aun gor twelve
month a year, it was Council's thoughts Last year that the achook
- progaan could be handled by the dndoor pool. This, therefore,
would mean that the indoor pooks eaould open in July of each year
Aatner than May. However, it 45 apparent from the attached Letter
that certain schools would not benefit from the use of the indoor
poo,
This Letter has been disaudsdsed with ALderxman Mabbett and Mayor
Campbel2 and the concensus of opinion was that the school program
for Robert Hope should be continued for 1976 and that monies be
placed in the 1976 Provisional budget to cover cosis of the program.

AS I am unable to contact Aldewnan Mabbett, could the folLowing be
brought to Council's attention on August 25th, 1975:

“ITEM IT: INDOOR POOL ADMISSION RATES

Attached 44 a survey of Lower mainland indoor pook xates. At the
May 15th, 1975 Counctl meeting a reconmendation on subsidizing was
presented to councté and accepted. In reeping with this poltey of
subsidization, the following nates are recommended for publica
‘admission of the new indoor swimming pool, However, tt should be
brought to Counci£'s attention that it is somewhat difficult to gauge
the communities! response to public swimming and we may have to revise
the rates ina few months.

The subfect on tndoor pool nates has not, been discussed wich the Leisure
Activities Comnittee, however, due to the gact that the pook xs
scheduled to open an September 2nd, 1975, the nates should be
considered by counci£ on August 25th, 1975.

Thanking you {or your consideration.
