COMMUNICATION Fort Collins City Council c/o Recreation Department 202 North Meldrum Fort Collins, Colorado Dear Sirs: My daughter went to swim in the City Pool last Wednesday, June 16th. The estimate of the number of persons at the pool was 1000. This is probably a good estimate. As anyone knows, our city pool at this time can in no way accommodate 1000 people. Some children had to stand in line for an hour. My child was allowed to swim ( or should I say be close to the eater) for only 15 minutes. We are very interested in giving our children the opportunity to learn to swim. It is impossible for them to practice in the city pool becuase it is.always so full. What must we do to get more facilities. Much money was spent on a new municipal golf course. Can't we do something for our kids too? Surely the Council does not believe that one small municipal pool can serve the city the size of Fort Collins??? Please help us to get more pool facilities. Sincerely, /s/ Mrs. Keith Wilson 1232 Constitution Fort Collins, Colorado Mayor Carson stated he did not think a new pool would be this year. Councilman Lopez suggested that the hours for having the pool open be Lengthened as there are several Hours of swiming left after ..closing -time , and that 'this time be for adults only. The City Manager reported that a new high had been reached on water consumption of 28,000.000 gallons Wednesday, June 23rd. Mayor Carson said the residents should not waste water and letting the water run in the streets is hard on the asphalt. Councilman Lopez stated that the cottonwoods in parts of town are in pretty bad shape and the arborist should give us a report on these. The City Manager said the arborist fiat located all these trees and notified the owners to either remove them or treat them, and believe it is unuer control. Councilman Lopez reported that he had had complaints that the dogs running loose have been molesting children, that the people seem to know i-,hen the dog warden is off duty as most of the complaints have been .of dogs runr'ng loose in the evening. The Director of Public Works stated that the Michigan and Joe Wright ditch are good ditches and lots of water, Will have to do a little repair later on the Michigan Ditch.
