Council endorses MOA with Nova South swim team for 2025–26 season
Summary
City Council endorsed a memorandum of agreement with the Nova South swim team spanning the 2025–26 season; staff said reducing team lane usage and restarting swim lessons would help return pool operations to net positive.
Director Martinez asked the council to endorse a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the Nova South swim team for the 2025–26 season and summarized the program and fiscal rationale. "My recommendation would be that council endorsed the proposed MOA for the Nova South 2025, 2026 season," Martinez said, noting the recommendation was included in the agenda package.
Martinez told the council the pool program began in the red but has "continuously increased" revenues since he took office. He said staff proposes reducing team lane usage to three lanes and reintroducing swim lessons to generate additional revenue, changes intended to offset revenue lost by limiting competitive lanes.
Councilor Harris moved to approve the MOA; the motion was seconded by Councilor Denton. A roll call vote recorded affirmative votes from the participating members present and the motion passed 5 to 0. The council endorsed the agreement as presented.
The endorsement completes the council’s formal approval step on the MOA; the record does not specify implementation dates beyond the 2025–26 season or additional contractual terms. Any operational changes described by staff—lane reduction and resumption of lessons—will be implemented by city staff under the MOA and existing departmental authority.
The meeting moved on and subsequently adjourned.
