Frank Norton, Cecil Hernandez and Rev. J. E. Jones, of the Enablers, presented
a proposal on the swimming pool rates. They feel there was a great reduction in the
number of children who attended the swimming pools in 1969, as compared with 1968. He
offered the following proposal: 1. Children 12 and under could buy a season ticket for
$1.00 and then pay 10� a swim. 2. Children 13 through 16 could buy a season ticket for
$2.00 and then pay 25� a swim. 3. Everyone 17 and over would pay 50�.
Mr. Norton stated he hoped organizations and churches would purchase season
tickets and distribute them to the needy children of the City.
Commissioner Ashton mentioned the Enablers had stated they could sell 4,000 season
tickets to children. He feels children over 12 can earn their own money to swim; and that
Salina's rates are in line with other cities.
Mr. Norton feels the children between 12 and 16 should not be forgotten at this
time of their lives. A lot of children at this age cannot find jobs, and the swimming pool
is a good place for this age group to be.
Rev. J. E. Jones thought the NAACP and Enablers could work with the City
Commissioners to sell season tickets as suggested by Mr. Norton.
Commissioner Yost feels the City Commission should go along with the proposal
for season tickets as presented by Mr. Norton.
Commissioner Rundquist suggested they change the present 25� ticket to age 16;
and allow them to buy a $2.00 ticket plus 10� a swim.
A motion was made by Commissioner Millikan, seconded by Commissioner Yost to have
a $2.00 season ticket plus 10� a swim for children 13 and under, and a $2.00 season ticket
plus 25G a swim for children 14 and over; also, to`have a rate of 25� for 13 years of age
and under and 50� for 14 years of age and over for individuals not having season tickets.
Ayes: (5). Nays: (0). Motion carried.
