The annual membership meeting isn't until February or March so it may seem early to be thinking about running for a pool board position. In fact, the pool needs engaged and interested members to serve on the board. I urge to begin thinking about how your contribution to the Northview Swim Club Pool Board can improve the neighborhood and community and insure the future of a fun and safe place for you, your family, and your neighbors to exercise, meet, and play.

Last Potluck of the Season –Don’t Miss it!
The final potluck of the swim season is scheduled for Friday September 3, 2010 at 6:30 pm. A lifeguard will be on duty for those wishing to swim. Bring a main dish and a side or dessert to share. The pool board will provide plates, utensils and water to drink. We hope to see you there!
Gate Must Be Closed and Latched
Members are reminded that the pool gate must be closed and latched at all times unless you are coming in or going out. You may not prop the gate open, even if you are making several trips back and forth to your car. Do not leave the gate unlatched because you are expecting guests or other family members.
Lifeguards are enforcing this rule and you should expect to be reminded of it if you fail to comply.
We must be proactive to prevent drowning, and we are legally compelled to do so by keeping the gate closed. Propping the gate or leaving it unlatched is a violation of federal regulations and one of the other neighborhood pools in Richland was closed down temporarily for this very issue.
The federal code is designed to keep all of us safe. Let's follow this regulation and keep the pool open for everyone to enjoy.

Lap Swim Etiquette
Here are a few tips for lap swimmers so that everyone can enjoy the experience:
- The diving board and slide are off limits during lap-swim. Come during lifeguard hours if you want to use these.
- Enter the swimming lane at the shallow end.
- Look for an open lane. Choose a lane that isn't occupied by another swimmer.
- If all the lanes are full you can wait for a lane to open or ask another swimmer to share a lane.
- If you decide to share a lane, let the other swimmer know that you want to share. Try to share a lane with someone who swims at about the same pace as you.
- If you are sharing a lane, be aware of the other swimmer(s). Stop at the nearest end if someone needs to pass you.
Northview Swim Club has two lap swims scheduled each day during the swim season:
12:00 - 1:00 pm
5:00-6:30 pm
Northview Swim Club T-Shirts
If you are interest in purchasing a Northview Swim Club T shirt, please contact Kellie Jenkins at 375-9070. There will be a mock-up posted this week on the chalk board. We need a minimum of ten orders.
Swim Diapers Mandatory for Infants and Young Children
Just a reminder that infants and young children, up to five years of age, must wear swim diapers in the pool. The pool has some of these so if you forget to bring one for your child, please ask the lifeguard. Any fecal material in the pool requires the pool to close for cleaning and disinfection. For your safety, the safety of your child, and the safety of others; please do not permit small children to swim without a swim diaper.

Minutes from the 2009 meeting were distributed and approved.
Treasurers Report:
Angie Rhyne – Outgoing Treasurer
The prior year (2009) statement of financial position was presented and discussed.
Note worthy items:
- The pool began the year with approximately $2,600 in the checking account and ended 2009 with $6,600. There are also two CDs worth approximately $10,400.
- Utilities came in under budget because the pool had anticipated an increase in natural gas prices when the price actually was less; also the City of Richland utilities were substantially less than expected due to turning off utilities for most of the year.
- $600.00 was budgeted for landscaping but when the board solicited estimates from landscaping firms they far exceeded what was in the budget.
Noteworthy items:
- $2,500 has been set aside to purchase a CD for the pool.
- $2,300 has been budgeted for pool improvements.
- The payroll budget has increased because lifeguard hours will be added from 10:00 am-12:00 noon Monday-Saturday for the 2010 season.
- The board purchased Quickbooks upon the recommendation of auditors.
The 2010 budget was approved by the assembled members.
Plans and Projects
The board will have to take a phased approach to making safety improvements, repairing the gazebo, and attending to the landscaping. The board is interested in hearing from the membership about possible landscaping options. Trees and other vegetation are overgrown and they drop leaves and other debris into both the pool and the wading pool. It is a mess to clean out of the pool and is affecting pumps and pool systems. In addition the sprinkler system must be updated and the parking lot is in need of repairs.
Marty Arntzen mentioned that pool system schematics are in the pump room and will come in handy for these projects.
Board Elections
The following members were newly elected to the board and will serve during the 2010 and 2011 seasons.
- President Elect – Donna Glass
- Junior Pool Manager – Dor Collado
- Treasurer – Doug Teachout
- Ardis Rukavina – President

Closing Remarks
Outgoing president Diane Turney encouraged members to attend at least one of the potlucks held during the summer.
Outgoing pool manager Michelle Smith asked former board members to return their master keys.
Outgoing treasurer Angie Rhyne went through the treasurer archives in order to dispose of old records that no longer needed to be kept. She discovered that records 1996-2002 are missing. If a past board member has any of these, please return them to current treasurer Doug Teachout.
Meeting Adjourned.

Why I Choose to Serve on the Northview Swim Club Pool Board
The annual membership meeting is coming up on February 23rd and we will be electing three new pool board members for two year terms. Last year when Kellie Jenkins called and asked me to serve I had to think about that decision. I have been a member of the club for 10 years. My husband served as pool manager but I hadn’t done my part to personally invest in a neighborhood resource that I enjoy so much.
Of course, my membership dues are waived for the two years that I serve but there are other benefits to participating in pool management. As a lap swimmer I tend to see the same folks each time I swim so in addition to experiencing a new sense of ownership for the pool, I have met many more of my neighbors. My service gives me an opportunity to give back to my community and help shape the future of an attraction that I want to see managed well. I appreciate how much pool board members before me have invested in providing neighborhood families with an excellent place to exercise and relax. I wanted to be part of that tradition.
