The Fairview Park Recreation Commission voted to provide a letter of support to City Council for a proposal to name the competition pool at the Gemini Center after longtime coach Richard L. Segrist. Aquatics Manager Cindy Tscherne presented the plan, which emphasizes Segrist’s role establishing swim lessons, lifeguard certification and the city swim team in the 1950s–1960s and noting the team’s 1964 state championship.
The proposal calls for signage and plaques around the pool, an estimated donor-funded cost between $5,000 and $10,000, and a future dedication ceremony. The commission’s recorded outcome from the item was a motion passed to provide a letter of support; the motion text and vote names were not specified in the meeting record.
