CITIZEN COMMENTS:
Karmyn Jeffries, 2605 John Street, addressed Council stating on behalf of the Natatorium
Adult Swimmers who regularly use the activity pool on weekday mornings throughout the year
would like to present a signed petition to permanently in state that the first three (3) hours the
pool is open on week days to be scheduled for adult swimmers only all year round. This group
of swimmers use the pool for physical therapy, recovering from surgery and exercise. The
morning swim is crucial to the members with rheumatoid arthritis to have a better productive
day. There has been negotiations between the adult swimmers and Natatorium staff to reach
a satisfactory agreement in which our needs are considered. She stated she has many
concerns regarding the misuse, decline, and lack of respect for the facility. She further stated
she would like to meet with the Expansion Committee, Parks and Recreation Staff and City
Council to further discuss these issues. Communicating and working together we can reach a
level of good stewardship of the Parks and Recreation facilities and ensure all members get
full enjoyment of the facility and programs offered.

Dowell Jeffries, 2605 John Street, addressed Council stating he uses the Natatorium pool
regularly in the mornings before going to work. The temperature of the water in the pool is
always changing because it is being turned on and off, which is not good on the pool'
equipment. He further stated ever since the temporary air conditioner was installed at the
Natatorium he has noticed equipment and many items showing signs of corrosion and
deterioration, which should not be happening in a three year old building.
Lance Foss, 1409 O'Day Road # 57, addressed Council stating his concerns with City
employees allowed to have social media accounts, and twitting on City time. Social media is a
communication device to allow Peadand residents and concerned citizens to communicate to
City Staff. He is also concerned with expenses from a fiscal year being transferred to a new
fiscal year, the City's job descriptions are unrealistic, and large purchases are no longer at the
beginning of an agenda, they are at the end of the agenda.
