7 Mr. Norris said that one selling point of the use agreement is the programmatic linkage to the CHS swim team. Mr. Svetz said CHS is very willing to work on intramural and in-school programs with the YMCA. Mr. Norris said the question has been raised about whether the YMCA is open to the City’s ongoing involvement in the development of the facilities. Mr. Kurt Krueger, President of the YMCA Board, said that meetings will be held to discuss that. He noted that the City would need to contribute $1.25 more in order to add cool water lanes. Mr. Lynch suggested stipulating that the lanes will be 25 yards long in the agreement. Mr. Brown said that Council needs to amend the ordinance due to the revisions made since the first reading. On motion by Mr. Lynch, seconded by Mr. Norris, the ordinance was amended as proposed by staff by the following vote. Ayes: Dr. Brown, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Norris. Noes: Ms. Hamilton and Mr. Taliaferro. Mr. Lynch said he was originally skeptical about the proposal and still likes the PVCC site. He said he was willing to entertain the McIntire Park site because of the cooperation with CHS. He said the YMCA has shown good faith in being a partner and has agreed to give CHS priority usage. He said the Schools have said they can provide an extra activity bus. He said the swim teams are interested in have a cool water pool, but neither the City nor the YMCA can afford it. Ms. Hamilton said she greatly appreciates the efforts of the YMCA, staff and community, but she cannot support the proposal. She said once the Park is altered it is altered for all time. She said she does not think we are thinking big enough. She said we should be talking directly with Albemarle County and the University of Virginia about a large regional facility. She said she thinks we are rushing into this. She said she feels this is important enough that it should have a super majority vote of Council. Mr. Norris thanked staff, the YMCA and Schools for an exciting proposal which he thinks will be a regional solution. He said he is a strong supporter of the proposal though a lot of details remain to be worked out. He said he thinks it will be an asset to the Schools and community. Mr. Taliaferro said he appreciates the work, but said there are still unanswered questions. He said he is somewhat troubled about putting the facility in the middle of a City park. Dr. Brown said he started off being skeptical, but said it addresses the need to find activities for adolescents. He said it supports youth sports and will support swimming in a meaningful way. He said it is true that we are dealing with a park, but noted that it is the part that currently has ball fields on it. Mr. Lynch said Ms. Hamilton makes a good point about the vote, and he asked what would need to change to get the support of either Ms. Hamilton or Mr. Taliaferro and to get to a four to one vote. He said in some ways the project could be more ambitious. He supported involving U. Va. Ms. Hamilton said it would need to change to be a regional competition pool available for swim meets with a diving well. Mr. Krueger said there is a reasonable opportunity to do a regional facility if adequate capital and operating funds can be raised. He said ten lanes would cost approximately $3.5 million to build and $100,000 to $250,000 a year to operate.
