September Newsletter
Each year, the pool board struggles with memberships, getting people to pay dues that pays for maintenance and the luxury of having lifeguards on duty so many hours each day.
Did you know that your membership equates to ownership? If something were to happen and we had to sell the property, for whatever reason, each member/owner would receive a share of the sale. I suggest that you don't think of the annual fees as dues but as maintenance fees. You probably pay more than $325 over the summer months for your utilities alone, let alone any other maintenance. Utilities are just a part of what the annual fees pays for; there's also insurance, salaries, pool supplies (i.e., chlorine, soda ash, filters, etc.).
As it is, we have 15 open memberships, that equates to $4,875 in maintenance fees that we are having to work around. I don't know if you've noticed, but we've had some major work done at the pool this summer - most recently, the parking lot was patched, sealed and restriped. Looks a lot better, don't you think? Some of the work isn't so obvious. Although, I think the men are glad to have hot water for showers again this season (had a leak at the end of the season last year that resulted in having to shut off the hot water to the men's room). We've had leaks in the sprinkler system that have ended up with excess water running off and going down the street. Every time you fix one leak, another shows up.
Our pool is aging and so are the facilities supporting it. I don't think any of us wants to lose our pool due to lack of preventative maintenance. We can't do preventative maintenance without memberships. What can you do to help us get new members for next season? I would love to hear your ideas. Send me an email at dmsglass@hotmail.com and let me know your thoughts. I'll bring them to our next board meeting.
Kudos to our ad hoc property committee, Ken Buxton, Brad Jenkins and Jan Stephan, for being actively involved in the maintenance of the grounds. I really appreciate how much they care about Northview Swim Club and the time they have put into the projects I've mentioned.

Draft 2011 Annual Membership Meeting Minutes
Northview Swim Club Annual Membership Meeting
March 24, 2011
Called to Order: 7:10 PM
Facilitated by: Donna Glass
Held at: Richland Public Library, Gallery Room
Minutes
The meeting was called to order by outgoing President Ardis Rukavina and a quorum of members was present.
Minutes from the 2010 Annual Membership meeting were distributed and approved.
Treasurers Report -- Doug Teachout presented highlights from the 2010 swim season and reviewed the proposed budget for 2011.
2010 Budget Highlights
- The pool board purchased QuickBooks and has begun using it for pool business including payroll.
- The bank account was moved from Yakima Federal to Banner Bank because Banner provides online tools compatible with QuickBooks. The tools make bookkeeping more efficient.
- Certificates of Deposit at Yakima Federal were closed and three were opened at Banner Bank with maturity dates of three months, six months, and twelve months.
2011 Budget
- Revenue projections for 2011 are based on the following assumptions: 1) One third of members will pay dues early to take advantage of the $300 early discount. 2) Two thirds of members will pay dues of $325
- Payroll costs include a forecast of lifeguard hours for the 2011 swim season.
- L&I Taxes are budgeted for an increase
- $2,500 allocated for pool improvements, primarily landscaping and plumbing
- Work crew allocations were scaled back by 1 person
- The budget reflects a projected deficit this year of roughly $1,500.
Budget Discussion
Marty Artzen asked if the pool improvements budget spent in 2010 included fixing the plumbing in bath house. That repair is scheduled for the 2011 budget because once the pool was closed and the water turned off, plumbers were unable to come out and make the repairs. The board will have the water turned on in April and get the repairs made before the pool opens the end of May.
Kellie Jenkins explained that pool improvement money for 2010 was spent on landscaping because it needed to be done. Landscaping was discussed at previous Annual Membership meetings. In 2010 the board had a hired a contractor to come in and clean things up. In addition to landscaping the underground sprinkler system is failing and the parking lot needs attention. The 2011 budget was approved.
Work Credits – first work party on May 14th. If you are not contacted by Simone, then you will not get a work credit. You are welcome to help get the pool ready but you won’t get a work credit.
Projects--Plumbing will be done after the water is turned on. We will get some estimates and have it done before the pool opens. Kellie Jenkins asked for recommendations for plumbers to do the work.

Open Forum
Karen Walton asked that lifeguards be given the authority to tell couples who are too close or behaving inappropriately to either stop or leave the pool. Kellie Jenkins agreed that lifeguards need to be assertive with their peers at the pool and will incorporate more assertiveness training into lifeguard instruction. She said they would also be reminded not to use cell phones while on duty or visit with friends who are at the pool instead of giving their attention to swimmers.
Ken Buxton asked about forming an ad hoc committee for pool maintenance to make recommendations and assign priorities for work that needs to be done on pool property. This might include contacting plumbers or other contractors for bids, checking on city codes, and other maintenance or repair tasks.
An ad hoc pool maintenance committee was formed and includes the following pool members:

February 2011 Newsletter
Annual Membership Meeting
The annual membership meeting is tentatively scheduled for March 24th from 7:00-8:00 PM at the Richland Public Library. We will provide you with a firm date in early March. Proposed dues for the 2011 swim season are $325. Dues paid prior to or at the meeting receive a discounted rate of $300.
Pool Board Elections
Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s that time of year again when love is in the air and Northview members are thinking about running for a position on the Pool Board of Directors. Kellie Jenkins has already expressed interest in the Jr. Pool Manager position. Which position interests you?
What does the Pool Board do?
As a working volunteer board, members see to opening, closing, and day-to-day operation of the pool during swim season including collecting member dues; distributing keys; hiring, training, scheduling, and supervising life guards and pool openers; paying pool bills, organizing potlucks; arranging for pool maintenance and repairs and seeing that the pool meets local, state, and federal health and safety regulations.
The Pool Board consists of six members, President, President Elect, Secretary, Treasurer, Sr. Pool Manager, and Jr. Pool Manager. Members serve rotating two year terms that provide for board continuity. The President Elect position fills the role of President during the second year of his/her term. Each position requires several hours of effort each week from spring prior to the pool opening through the end of the swim season. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves, do some work, and have a great time meeting your neighbors and learning about pool operations.
Three positions need to be filled this year.
Below are descriptions of positions to be filled this year as excerpted from the Northview Swim Club Membership Handbook.
President Elect
The President Elect serves as president in the second year of his/her term.
The President-elect shall assume the responsibilities of the President in his/her absence or incapacitation and be responsible for pool opening and closing in accordance with the schedule approved by the Board of Directors. The President-elect will assist pool managers to assure appropriate pool maintenance and operation throughout the pool season.
Secretary
The secretary shall be responsible for maintaining the records of the Club; preparing and distributing minutes of meetings of the Board of Directors and of the Membership; maintaining an up to date roster of members; preparing and issuing membership certificates; correspondence of the Club, including preparation and distribution of notices of meetings and the Annual Letter of the President. The Secretary will, at the direction of the Treasurer, collect fees and dues from members and issue pool keys. The Secretary will assist the President with ballot preparation; publish the member’s handbook annually, and circulation of monthly electronic newsletters.
