PUBLIC Ms. Laurie Roemer of the Aquatic Wellness Center of Virginia, requested ~that the pool rental fees be pro-rated over a period of years to lessen the impact of the increase from $20 per hour to $42 per hour. Mr. Louie Chapman, Assistant City Manager, stated that the Aquatic Wellness Center has been offered the opportunity to use half the lanes of the pool since their use of the entire shallow end of the pool in fact uses all the pool area. Mr. Chapman explained that the pool rate for the entire use of the pool increased from $40 to $42 and staff felt that the full rate should be charged rather than have the City subsidize use of the pool. Ms. Roemer stated that the Aquatic Wellness Center has used the shallow end of the pool for five years. Mr. Toscano stated that he would abstain from discussing the matter due to a perceived or actual conflict of interest. Ms. Waters noted that Council had supported an increase in pool fees for adults during the budget process and she was aware of Ms. Roemer's concerns. It was the consensus of Council to take the matter under advisement.
