CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
FROM: '1 Paul LeSage, Parks and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: Swim Club Contract
CAO RECOMMENDATION
As recommended by the Joint Use Committee and the Parks and Recreation Commission, adopt
a resolution approving a contract between City of San Luis Obispo and Seahawk Swim Club
effective July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006, for the use of the SLO Swim Center.
DISCUSSION
For over 30 years, the Seahawk Swim Club has provided a competitive swimming program for
youth and adult residents of San Luis Obispo. In fact, Swim Club members were instrumental in
the construction of the Swim Center. The Swim Club is the natural progression of swimmers as
they advance through the City swim program. There is a "full circle" effect as most of the
lifeguard and instructional staff members at the Swim Center are former Seahawks.
The Seahawks use of the pool has always been governed by a contract with the City. This update
reflects current usage and new use fees. The last time the contract was taken before the City
Council was 1999. Since there were no major adjustments required between 2000 and 2004, the
contract was extended by a provision for the agreement to roll-over to subsequent years by
mutual consent between the two parties. Each year, since 1999, the fees for the Club have
increased only by the CPI for each respective year and have not been based on equity with other
pool users. The major adjustment to the current contract is a nearly 10% increase in annual fees
for pool usage to bring these fees into closer alignment with these other users. The new fee for
2005 will be $2,161.50/quarter. In 2004, the Club paid $1,965.00/quarter. The City and the
Club have agreed that new discussion will occur in a year to establish the fees for 2006. During
this year, Club and City will work together to identify fees paid by other swim clubs in the
surrounding area.
CONCURRENCES
The amendment was reviewed and approved by the Joint Use Committee on April 26, 2005, and
the Parks and Recreation Commission on May 4, 2005. Minutes from those meetings are
included as attachments 2 and 3.
The Seahawk Club Manager/Head Coach appeared at both the JUC and PRC and spoke in
support of the revised contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City will realize a slight increase in revenues as a result of the new use fees.

the community in the form of a competitive outlet for youth through seniors.
