4. Delegations
4.1 Haney Seahorses Swim Club
Ms. Klapstock spoke to the club's concerns regarding the proposed fee increase to
pool rental rates as of September 2015. She provided a brief history of their
experience with the fee increases the past three years. As the club's budget relies on
funding from other sources, they needed to know about these increases before the
end of February. The swim clubs felt that the proposed increase is not given with a
reasonable notice and that Commission had committed to not increase rental rates
for three years. The Commission was asked to reconsider the timeline and the
increases being proposed.

presentation and proceeded to speak to the report on the proposed plans for the
Leisure Centre Upgrade. A discussion followed.
