some discussion on what all it would take to have them use the pool, Schwanke informed that
as long as the Swim Team was to provide an insurance policy listing the City as an additional
insurer, and provides someone that is Lifeguard and CPO Certified, the Swim Team would be
fine to use the Facility. Motion was made by Giese, seconded by Washburn to support the
project and forward it on to the City Council for final approval.
7. Request for use of Clemmons Park by the Fremont YMCA for Boot Camps. There was a question
on whether or not this would be an issue since the program would start before City Parks were

it was passed by the Board. Motion was made by Eairleywine, seconded by Giese to support the
project and forward it on to the City Council for final approval. Motion carried.
