MEMO TO: Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> • FROM: Staff Ak,,41111 <br /> DATE : August 30 , 1983 <br /> RE : Aquatic Coordinator Position <br /> The Mounds View City Council authorized the hiring of Ms . <br /> Maureen Thielen on August 22, 1983 as the part-time aquatics <br /> coordinator for the City of Mounds View as per the Parks and <br /> Recreation Commission direction . Ms . Thielen will be attend- <br /> ing the September 1 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting <br /> to provide a brief review of her background and discuss <br /> potential modifications in the City ' s aquatics program. In <br /> addition to the introduction to Ms . Thielen, staff has included <br /> a copy of the memorandum of understanding and/or employment <br /> agreement with Ms . Thielen as well as the joint powers agreement <br /> with the school district. Staff is extremely excited to have <br /> someone of the caliber of Maureen on staff with us and we feel <br /> that there will be some major changes that will develop in <br /> our year-round aquatic program at both Lakeside Park and the <br /> Edgewood Community Center pool . <br /> The Lakeside Park Beach program drew to a close on Sunday, August <br /> 28 with a fairly successful summer swimming program. It has <br /> • become apparent already through Ms . Thielen's observations that <br /> there are a number of changes that need to made at the beach <br /> such as closer supervision of the guards , modifications to the <br /> building and a review of the existing raft locations . One of <br /> the major issues that developed during the summer of 1983 was <br /> that we combined the Edgewood Pool staff and the outdoor beach <br /> staff for the first time into one cohesive unit . We found this <br /> to be a very positive change and we would envision that we would <br /> utilize a combined staff in the future . <br /> In addition, September-October we have included copies of the <br /> P <br /> City Newsletter which includes the fall swimming program which <br /> has been expanded to include six daytime swimming sessions as <br /> well as a full compliment of Saturday and evening classes . Hope- <br /> fully with the addition of ,Ms . Thielen, we will be able to pro- <br /> vide a better aquatics background and update for the commission <br /> on a quarterly basis during the coming year . <br /> BKA/sll <br /> 1110 <br />
