Discussion and possible action with Rothschild/Schofield Aquatic Center Commission regarding aquatic center prices and other possible cooperative efforts. Osterbrink opened discussion with Craig McEwen, Village of Rothschild and Andy Brown, City of Schofield, whom both currently serve on the Rothschild/Schofield Aquatic Center Commission. In 2014, the Weston Aquatic Center and the R/S Aquatic Center collaborated in selling joint passes allowing patrons the option to purchase one pass to attend both facilities at a lower rate than buying separate passes for each location. Both entities have agreed that the collaboration and selling of joint passes has been beneficial for both locations and will discuss possible changes in joint pass prices for the 2021 season. McEwen mentioned that the R/S Aquatic Center manager, Deb Hubacek, has no interest in managing a second pool, but she is a certified trainer for lifeguards. McEwen also stated that they currently have one staff member who takes care of the chemicals and maintenance at the pool. Collaboration of maintenance and staffing between the two aquatic center facilities was previously discussed. McEwen plans on assembling overall costs for pool and staff operations for the R/S Aquatic Center and presenting the results to their administrator and necessary committees in the future. No action taken. 7. Discussion and possible action Memorial Requests Document. Osterbrink assembled a draft document with the specific procedures for submitting a memorial request for placement a park or outside of a park. Currently, there is no procedure in place and each request is considered on an individual basis and presented to the respective committees: Park & Recreation Committee, Planning Commission, and Board of Trustees. This document just lays out the procedure for submitting the request. Each request will still be considered individually. *M/S/P Esker/Arndt: motion to recommend to Board of Trustees to approve the Memorial Request Document.

Background The village has previously received and worked with various groups and individuals on the placement of memorial items (tables, benches, planters, trees, etc.). Previous requests were taken to the Park and Recreation Committee and Board on a case by case basis for consideration. In spring of 2018 previous administration requested that staff draft an official policy regarding the placement of memorials. Staff submitted a draft policy in May of 2018, but no action was taken by the committee. Staff also discussed the drafting of this document with the Village Board and they stated that it was no longer necessary to continue working on this policy and that they would continue to review these requests on a case by case basis. In September of 2019 Trustee Xiong requested that this item be placed on the next Park and Recreation Committee agenda for reconsideration and discussion. The draft memorial policy was reviewed again at the November 2019 meeting of the Park and Recreation Committee. During the discussion it was determined that a policy was not necessary but asked that staff draft a document that laid out the specific procedures for donors to follow for submitting their requests. Attached is a draft document that lists the specific procedure for submitting a request. Attached Docs: Draft Memorial Requests Document ______________________________________________________________________ Committee Action: No previous review of this document. Memorial Policy Document was previously reviewed in March and May of 2018 and November of 2019. No action was taken on this item. Memorial Policy was reviewed again in November in 2019 but the Park and Recreation thought that a specific policy was not necessary but asked that staff draft a document that laid out the specific procedures for donors to follow for submitting their requests. Fiscal Impact: N/A REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION Recommendation: Recommended Language for Official Action I move to Recommend to the Board of Trustees to approve the Memorial Requests Document. I move to Recommend to the Board of Trustees to not approve the Memorial Requests Document. Or, something else. ______________________________________________________________________ Additional action: REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION Memorial Requests This document was drafted to provide individuals and groups the process on how memorial requests are received and handled by the village.
