Recreation and aquatics coordinators updated the commission on programs and participation during the Jan. 26 meeting.
Recreation coordinator Michelle Fuller previewed a March–August brochure and listed new and continuing classes at the rec center and DWP locations, including 3D printing, gymnastics, adult yoga and ballroom dance offerings. Sports coordinator Michelle Martano said adult men’s basketball is in its fourth week, adult coed softball begins Feb. 22, and youth basketball has 83 participants across grades 3–8; floor-hockey clinics and other youth sports registration deadlines were noted.
Aquatic coordinator Sierra Beggs said the department’s free swim lessons launched in November and December with participation well above last year; January’s session drew over 50 children and the program will continue through February. Beggs said two new water‑aerobics classes were added and a ‘‘swim for fitness’’ program has restarted; the department also hosted the NRPS Aquatics Committee meeting on Jan. 8 and noted high‑school swim begins Feb. 14.
Staff also reported that Boulder City Golf Courses’ loyalty-card program generated more than $280,000 last year with about 1,400 cardholders, and that city staff coordinate monthly with contractors and finance on golf operations and maintenance.
Public comment included Sierra Banks announcing the hire of assistant aquatics coordinator Katie Tyler and Jennifer Pinkling promoting a volunteer River Mountain Loop trail cleanup on March 14. The commission closed regular business after hearing public comment and adjourned.
