. . y <br />-5- <br />C. Physical structure improvements <br />n <br />+ The beach house was repainted, as were all the park <br />grounds tables and trash cans. The parking lot rule <br />board received a new sheet of plexi-glass as the old <br />sheet had cracked and darkened. The lifeguard stand rule <br />boards were updated and repainted. The slide platform <br />was covered with a layer of non-skid, plastic carpet, and <br />the waterfront marker bouys were anchored to the lifeline <br />at equal increments, flowers were planted near the beach <br />house, and the grounds were constantly kept tidy, as a <br />result of a routine maintenance schedule. <br />D. Beach attendance <br />An attendance count at the beach was taken twice a day at <br />3:00 and 7:00 p.m., to determine the approximate number <br />of bathers using the waterfront daily. This count re- <br />flects the actual number of people in the water only, as <br />it is difficult to be accurate in counting the number of <br />people occupying the beachfront or picnic/playground <br />area. The J.O.P.H.E.R. formula was used: <br />1. Take an estimate of the midday crowd (3:00 p.m.) <br />and multiply it by 2-1/2, <br />2. Take an estimate of the evening crowd (7:00 p.m.) <br />and multiply by 1-1/2. <br />3. Add these two figures together, for an approximate <br />daily total. <br />The average daily number of people in the water was re- <br />corded as followed: <br />June .......... 259 people <br />July ........ 366 people <br />August ........ 299 people <br />As any type of patron count has not been used at this <br />beach previously, it will be necessary to compare the <br />1984 years with that of the summer of 1985. <br />III. COORDINATION FIGURES WITHIN THE MOUNDS VIEW SCHOOL DISTRICT <br />The availability of a specialized aquatics director within <br />the district provided a focal point for area organizations <br />to lean on.Sevoral of the features of this coordination <br />angle are highlighted below. <br />1.
