Bill Paulson discussed additional items such as (1) combining the Aquatics Pro- gram with the YMCA and working out a year round family swim ticket, (2) capital improvement consideration in the form of retaining the softball field at Hawes Park as a multi~use field and relocating a softball field complex somewhere in Redwood City, (3) offering more of a variety of sports such as tennis, swimming, etc., in the Sports Camp Program this summer, and (4) combining the wilderness- camp into a tri-city camp which would include Menlo Park and San Carlos. Commissioner Rollins moved the reports be accepted as submitted, seconded by Commissioner Haynes. ~ ...---- - ~._-~ ~~. " ~
