I cannot and will not give up and keep quiet while the indoor pool opportunity is on hold for the next three years - especially when new information keeps emerging that renews and strengths my commitment to do whatever I can to make the indoor pool a reality for our community and our school swim teams. Here are two new pieces of such information: 1. The Webster Groves High School Boy’s Swim & Dive Team was dominant in dual meet and invitational meet competition this season. More impressively, the team placed 5th in the Missouri State Swim Championships, held in the Olympic-quality St. Peter’s Rec Plex indoor pool. Behind Head Coach Evyn Spencer, Assistant Swim Coach Mikayla Kemp, and Head Dive Coach Michele Ann Ferber, this is the HIGHEST state meet finish for the team in 50 years!!!! Yet they practice every day and hold their home meets at the aging, Exhibit 1 substandard 32-year Webster University indoor pool with only 6 lanes (versus 8), no diving well and little seating for swim meet attendees. This is a powerhouse team with a bright future that deserves a new home pool, as does the outstanding girl’s swim programs at Webster Groves and Nerinx Hall. 2. In tonight’s City Council work session, former Parks & Recreation Director, Scott Davis, now recently prompted to the new position of Deputy City Manager of Strategic Innovations, presented his recommendations for the new outdoor Water Park resident and non-resident Daily Fees and resident and non-resident Membership Fees (known as Season Passes) when it opens next year in late May, 2025. Here’s are the fees that Scott recommended for the new outdoor Water Park, which is open for only 3 months a year (June – August): Daily Fees Resident: $6 Non-Resident: $15 Membership Fees (Season Passes) For First Resident in Family to Sign-Up: $100 Exhibit 1 For First Non-Resident in Family to Sign-Up: $210 Speaking personally, I conceptually agree with Scott’s fee recommendations for the new outdoor Water Park. I have no problem with them. Now, as you remember, the indoor pool was put on hold for three years by City Council because of revenue concerns based on the initial financial assumptions and projections that were developed back in July, 2023, well over a year ago. To remind everyone, here is the ONE fee revenue assumption for the indoor pool which would be open 9 months a year (September – May): Daily Fees For both Residents & Non-Residents: $4 Membership Fees (Season Passes): For both Residents & Non-Residents: 0, ZERO, NONE. As such, based on this data alone, there is only one conclusion you can draw and that is that the initial revenue projections on which Council based their decision to put the indoor pool on hold for three years are blatantly, clearly and obviously wrong, false, Exhibit 1 incomplete, low-balled and totally unfair. If City Council and Staff would only openly, honestly and seriously review the revenue assumptions the indoor pool supporters developed and presented this past September, I think they would come to a completely different, fair and accurate conclusion on the true revenue potential of the indoor pool and reverse its three year hold decision. PS. During Scott’s presentation, City Council readily and publicly admitted that the old Aquatic Center never broke even and lost money every year!!!!!!! Thank YOU!” PEACE. Never give up, never surrender. Dave 314-952-0910

Alexander Councilmember Emily Hixson Shepherd Absent: Councilmember Jamie Hasemeier A quorum was present. Also present: Dr Marie Peoples, City Manager Neil Bruntrager, City Attorney Katie Nakazono, City Clerk REMARKS FROM THE COMMUNITY AND VISITORS Dave Buck, 6 Colonial Village, congratulated Gregory Donovan and Scott Davis for their promotions. He also thanked Neil Bruntrager for the email conversation on peacemaking & mediation. Mr. Buck’s main point was to pose a question to Council about the nature of the current relationship between the City and the School District as 70% of tax funds are directed to the District. He expressed that the relationship should be of a symbiotic nature but instead has a cool – frosty vibe. Tensions seem to have been exacerbated in 2015 with the defeat of Prop S & W by former Councilmember Greg Mueller’s Spend-Wisely initiative. As well, Mr. Buck stated that Council should be concerned, despite Bristol’s recent recognition with the national Blue Ribbon Award, the District ranking has dropped from top 10 regionally to somewhere in the 20s. He believes the School District is a draw for families relocating to Webster Groves. And that maybe the District might benefit from Council input on selection of/for the 3 major positions open within the District: superintendent, high school principal and Bristol principal.
