Arne Andersen will serve as chairman the second six months with Carol Rice as vice-chairman. Roy Beauchamp will serve as member at large. Mayors Award Breakfast - Debbie Zeigler reported on dates available at the Lincoln Center. Having the breakfast early in October will be a problem because of the sculpture garden construction. Accessibility will be limited to the South side. If the breakfast is held in late October, there won't be a problem. The Commission members said that it was imperative to have it the first week of the month. That is "Employ the Handicapped Week". They asked Debbie Zeigler to call and find another meeting place which would hold approximately 100 people, have audio/visual capabilities, kitchen facility and accessibility. The room will be reserved from 6:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.. Arne Anderson said that he had an idea on the simulations for this year. Instead of the standard way, he would like to have public par- ticipation. He called and found out that Octoberfest will be in Old Towne September 24. He thought this would be a good time to set up simulations and have Columbine Cablevision videotape the event. The video could then be shown at breakfast. Shirley Reichenbach wondered if there would be enough time to edit. Nancy Jackson will call and see about having the video made and report back to the Commission.

Cl John Tscharner, Executive Director (3031 226-2345 (303) 667-6410 July 28, 1988 We at Foc:.hills Gateway Rehabilitation Center, Inc., have three swimming pocls which are utilized by children and adult clients during the program day as an inte?ral part of the individual's goals and objectives as out- lined in each client's Individual Habilitation Plan. The pools allow both therapeutic a.. recreational prcgramming benafits. The pools include: 1) An 18' diameter wading pool which is 1' deep at the outer edges, sloping to 13" in the center. The average tc1t,,)erature is betwc,>n 85' and 500 . 2) A 20' x 40' backyard -style pool with a sprincl;card diving board. This pool goes from 3' - 9' deep. The average tec.?erature is between 83' and 86°. 3) A therapy:utic pool 1.4' x 20' with built-in seating. water jets (like a spa), and some built-in equipment (parallel bars, etc.). This pocl is 31-2' deep throughout and the average temperature is between 92' and 96°. All three pools are tested daily for pH, total alkalinity, and chlorine levels to ensure proper balance. In the past, these cools have been used during Center hours only. We are now planning to offer the use of the pools to selected groups in the Fort Collins - Loveland area. If you feel that members of your group would benefit from and be interested in aquatic activities utilizing our pools, please contact Polly Davis at 226-27 5 or 667-6410 for rates, availability and other i r;format' ^n.
