IV. INFORMATION ON AQUADILLOS SWIM TEAM - GREG PFLUGER
Liz Matthes, VP of Operations for the Aquadiflos, met with Kimberly Wilkinson, Aquatic
Coordinator and Glenn Moss, Recreation Superintendent to discuss pool usage for the
Aquadillo swim team. Liz said that the cost to rent the pool has increased 60% from last
year. She said this was a large increase that they were not expecting. Randy Morrow,
Director of Parks and Recreation, said the increase is due to chemical and electricity cost
increases for the City of Georgetown. The rate charged to the Aquadillos is the same rate
that is charged to all the swim teams who rent City of Georgetown pools.
Liz said the fee for joining Aquadillos is $75 with $12 going to the national organization. She

said all the funds received through registration would have to be used for pool use. The
coaches also have to be paid. Liz asked if there was a way to offset some of the cost ofthe
rental fee by doing some community service for the Recreation Department. Liz said the
Aquadillos are trying to improve the pools.
Randy said the City wants the pools to be cost effective. Ben White shared some information
about the pools in the area and what they charge for swim team rental.
Liz said they are happy with the hours they were given, just not the price of the rental fee.
The Aquadillos really want to work something out with the Recreation Department and they
are willing to help out any way they can to defray some of the costs.
