Discussion was held regarding utilization of exist- ing community resources and facilities. For example, using the Y.M.C.A. as an agency in cooperation with the Recreation Center. The Committee fou~d six areas in which they could work together. The Y.M.C.A. swimming pool was mentioned and it was suggested that it be opened year round-apart time through the Parks & Recreation Deparbment and the remainder through the Y.M.C.A.
