City of Carlyle Park Committee met June 11.

Here is the minutes provided by the committee:

The meeting was called to order by Chairman Scott Diekemper at 3 p.m. at Carlyle City Hall located at 850 Franklin Street, Carlyle, IL 62231 and via Zoom. Committee members present included Scott Diekemper, Jeremy Weh, and John Hodapp. Others present included Jeff Miller, Shannon Petrea, Mayor Judy Smith, Andy Brackett, and Martha Reinkensmeyer

After reviewing the minutes from the April 9, 2020 meeting, John Hodapp made a motion to approve the minutes. Jeremy Weh seconded the motion. After a voice vote, all were found in favor.

The first item on the agenda was the Citizens for Carlyle Parks comments. Shannon Petrea stated that the organization is looking to spend some money on projects. Mayor Smith shared an idea for a family-size swing that would be accessible at the City Park all year round but would be decorated at Christmas for those wanting family pictures. Another suggestion was the creation of a waling trail at Maple Hill Park with fitness stations. Road millings from projects in town could be used for the trail at no cost and the project could be done in phases.

The second item on the agenda was the pool opening. Andy stated that the state has made it possible for pools to open during Phase 3. The pool may be utilized for lap swimming, swimming lessons, and swim team purposes. Groups larger than 10 are not permitted. Andy stated that the pool will likely be open by June 20th. No motions were made.

The third item on the agenda was 2020 pool rates. Andy explained that with the late opening of the pool, the City is losing 30 percent of the pool season. Starting with Phase 4, 50 people will be allowed to occupy the pool. However, three of those people will need to be lifeguards. Hourly counts will be conducted to determine if the number of pool occupants is under 47. Andy explained that he would like to have resident pool passes cost $30 and nonresident $40. There will be no refunds on pool passes for any reason. Adult lap swim will cost $1 and public swim will be $5. A resident family pass will be $100. Non-resident family passes will be $125. John Hodapp made a motion to approve the 2020 pool rates. Jeremy Weh seconded the motion. After a voice vote, all were found in favor.

The fourth item on the agenda was old business. Andy stated that summer camps will be held in July, but they will be on a much smaller scale. Movies in the park will happen later in the summer and soccer registration is now open.

There was no new business.

There were no any other comments.

There were no public comments.

The Committee did not enter executive session so there were no executive session items on which to vote.

With no further business to discuss, John Hodapp made a motion to adjourn. Jeremy Weh seconded the motion. Finding all in favor, the meeting was adjourned at 3:32 p.m.
