GENERAL PURPOSE & ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
REPORT NO. CS-06-89 PAGE 2.
The Region 12 Special Olympics Committee has asked for pool time at
the Newcastle Fitness Centre on Sunday, May 7, 1989 from 9:30 a.m. -
4 :00 p.m. to host this Region's Annual Swim Meet. Approximately
twelve individuals will represent the Town of Newcastle out of 160
participants expected at this event.
The local Special Olympics Committee has asked for a waiver or
reduction in the pool rental fee to assist them in meeting a very
limited budget. Aquatic staff from the Fitness Centre have already
agreed to volunteer 20 hours of time to supervise the event.
Since the non-prime rental rate would off-set any potential revenue
normally received on Sundays during this time frame staff are
recommending that the non-prime rate be considered for this
program.
Service to regular patrons of the facility will be relatively
unaffected with the cancellation of a Family Swim and re-scheduling
of a Public Swim. Also, the publicity surrounding the event and the
opportunity for exposure of our facility to both Town residents as
well as individuals attending from other communities will be very
positive.
