Subject: Dave Buck"s "Remarks of the Community & Visitors" at 12/17/24 City Council Meeting on the Indoor Pool
Date: Tuesday, December 17, 2024 8:45:34 PM

“My apologies to City Council but I have to be totally
honest. 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.

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.
