based on the results of their time trials.
• Tim said that the issues are safety and proficiency. He has met with the Piranhas
board and concerned citizens. A memorandum of understanding is being developed,
He emphasized that children who fail to meet the trial times can participate on a
developmental team, and can move up once they can meet the standards. He also said
that no West U resident will be excluded.
• Janine said that there seems to have been some movement on the policy, because the
previous proposal didn't have much support from parents. The other issue is total
capacity. She asked if non-resident membership be limited if we exceed available
capacity.
• Russ - Some sports have boundaries (like Little League). He recalls that the guideline
for Tri5ports used to be 70% West U, but said that it is up to the individual
organization,
• Sona - If there are 200 applicants for 100 spots, West U residents should come first.
• Leah - Should we be allowing other groups to come in and run their own programs and
have a separate relationship with the "end user" or should all moneys flow through us.
• Tim - The only thing lacking is an MOU with Piranhas. All of the monetary
arrangements for the various programs (Jazzercise, TriSports, Piranhas) are different.
Everyone agrees that residents should not be bumped for non-residents. Based on a
survey of Piranha participants, the kids are more revved up by social aspects of the
activity.
• Russ - Recommended that Tim take the topic back to the Piranhas to address.
