Sorry for my being out of the loop. Do you have time tomorrow morning some to zoom and catch up.
Too bad about the people at the Sprung pool, but a zoom briefing with them would probably work.
I agree with all your notes.
To 1, I agree an will force more polit meeting behavior after you mention it,
2. We do need to talk about Mary’s question, yes. I thought the group discounted a one tank option, and most of the previous design points to a 2 tank option. I’m working on a spreadsheet
I’m trying to get all the option into so we can try to turn options on or off…
3. Very true…
I’ll send a draft agenda out this morning as well. I’m free until 12 tomorrow, if you have any time,

Too bad about the tours not being able to get the

Hi Greg, I am resending this from the email I generally use to correspond. Sorry for the duplicate. But don’t want to use the other email address.

Hi Greg,
FYI. The two key people we would like to talk to in Boise at the Sprung enclosed pool will both be out of town the weekend we are visiting (see email below). This is because they
are heavily involved in swim team meets in the summertime so another weekend would likely be just as bad. However, I am sure we can get them to speak with us via Zoom at one of our
upcoming meetings. I will be tracking Matt Sims down this week as well as I don’t think he responded to your email – is that correct?
Having listened to both the meetings I missed, I have some observations to share when we chat this week. Here is a sample of my thoughts:
1. People really talk over each other… it is somewhat rude and I think makes it hard for everyone to jump in and for everyone to be heard. It is also hard to follow when you are watching
online. I am going to mention this when I re-join the group.
2. At the May 20th meeting #3, Mary asked a key question toward the end of it, “what type of pool do we want to build?” It never got answered . . . she is asking whether there is agreement
as to whether there should be 1, 2, 3 tanks and/or other amenities. Her question did not get addressed. And this has not been discussed since the inception of the group. Seems important
to have some conversation on that soon.
3. At the end of the meeting #3, when the cost of building the Shore pool today came up, one piece of information that was not discussed is the fact that they were not starting from
scratch, they already had a 25 yard pool which is in use today as part of the newer bigger facility. They had kept up with maintenance, and so could retain that element.

Hi Diane -
I am happy to jump on any call and discuss both the Sprung Structure as well as the Myrtha pool. I have copied Ryan Stratton on this email as well - he is in charge of Idaho Competitive
Aquatics, the owner and operator of the facility. I can link you up with Chelsea as well and she would be able to discuss programming and swim lessons with you.
As we talked about, the summer is very busy and unfortunately both Ryan and I will be out of town on the weekend that your group was hoping to visit. You are still able to come in
and see the facility and have a swim and look around, there just won't be anyone available to answer some of the questions you all may have about the structure or its construction.
Thanks again for reaching out and please let me know if you would like me to hop on a call with your group.

Hi Nick,
Thanks so much for calling me back today and giving me more information about your schedule in July. It sounds like it is unlikely our group will see you in person when we visit.
But your willingness to speak to our Task Force on a Zoom call might be very useful as a substitute for the in-person briefing.
Do you prefer that we coordinate our visit with you or with Rachael as we move forward to set a time for us to visit?
I will reach out to Ryan Stratton to discuss with him the background and funding of the pool as well.
