Good evening. My name is Moren Lotomire. Thank you for listening as I share some information, some perspective, and enthusiasm for our valuable water aerobics program. First, I have a letter from Julie Thompson, who's unavailable tonight. And then second, I have a
couple of my personal thoughts. Julie's letter is dated June 25th, 2025. Thank you all for allowing me the opportunity to provide you some insight and input concerning the water aerobics class, which has been held at the Goodyu swimming pool for many years. My name is
Julie Holm Thompson. I grew up in Good Hugh and have a very close connection to this community, the school, and to many people who live here. It was a surprise to me and to the participants as well as a disappointment to learn the water aerobics class was not going to be
offered this summer. We would very much like to work with the city council to come up with a way to continue to offer water aerobics at the Goody Pool. I have over 30 years of water aerobics experience. Five years ago when I started leading the water aerobics
class, I was told to simply continue using the same processes for payment etc. as was previously used. My understanding was that this was an acceptable practice for all parties involved. Now that we have been made aware of the city's concern about
liability issues for the city, we are hopeful that a solution can be reached that is suitable for everyone, especially those using the pool and members of our city council. I have researched the pool offerings in surrounding communities, the cities of Canon Falls, Lake City, Ellsworth, Pine
Island, Wanomingo, and Redwing who offer water aerobics and swim lessons daily up to five days per week. We are hopeful that the city of Goodyu can use a similar plan in which to offer this water aerobics class to Goodyu and surrounding communities.
It's important to point out that water robot's class is very beneficial and very much wanted and needed by a number of our community members. Those from surrounding communities would also like this opportunity. Friendships and connections have been made with those in surrounding communities as a result of
water aerobics. While water aerobics exercises are beneficial to all ages, it's especially important to those individuals that are older, in need of non-impact exercise, and/or those who struggle physically. These water Exercises are not jarring or painful.
However, you know you have have had a am I done? Oh, okay. You have had a good workout when you leave the water. It is also a great activity to stimulate stimulate one's own positive outlook curtated created from the social aspects that becomes an anticipated component of
the class. If the council considers consider offering this class this year, I am available to lead the class as soon as Monday, June 30th. In the past few years, the class has gone from 7 to 8:00 p.m. This worked well for most participants, and we would just need one
lifeguard. Again, thank you. Um, and we're hopeful this can be implemented. Julie Thompson, and she has included her phone number and email address. As for myself, in this last few seconds, I um had concerns about the decision to
discontinue aerobics offering at our community pool. Um, I felt that the June 18th, 2025 news record article implied deception and impropriy by their aerobics instructor. Words matter and I
question if decisions are being made without complete or accurate information. While I don't know the history regarding all of the goodup pool aerobics, I do know they've been offered for many years. I do know the pool offered the classes. The pool advertised the hours. The pool scheduled the
lifeguard. The pool got the instructor. The who will set the pay. As class participants, we paid the lifeguards and not the instructor. To imply otherwise is just not true. And and thank you. One final note quick. Julie
Thompson I get one more minute. Okay, I'm going to skip all this other then. One final note. Julie Thompson is an exemplary aerobstruant about water aerobics and it its many positive effects. She is constantly researching new exercises and
techniques. She is welcoming to all, puts everyone at ease, connects with each participant, and encourages us all. Julie is friendly, caring, and has a joyful attitude towards life. She deserves our gratitude and our appreciation.
Thank you. I believe Thank you very much. I believe the goal for all of us is a vibrant community pool welcoming to all. Thank you. Next we have [Music] next we have comments.
and move on with comments. I have a question. She doesn't we are not aware that's all she was I do have one question too. Roughly on average,
how many people show up? My experience the last couple summers would say it can be Julie whoever comes. also sometimes sometimes sometimes their grandkids is
open and welcoming to all. So we'll move on outside of that. Anyone else comments? Mayor comments bills. Thanks for coming. Good night. It's not
All in favor? We got to get that I think it's like 12.
