Larson my name is Josiah 60 00:06:57,790 --> 00:07:04,570 and I'm excited to be a captain for Miami Vice and and dive deeper 61 00:07:01,630 --> 00:07:09,550 initiative I'm seriously wicked as a seventh grader I'm also a sophomore at 62 00:07:06,610 --> 00:07:12,970 Waianae high school for my Derrick recipe on the swim team is connected 63 00:07:11,410 --> 00:07:16,960 with the other girls and seeing how they grow throughout the services in this 64 00:07:14,860 --> 00:07:21,310 past fall and mr. Christiansen English class viewers had to do a persuasive 65 00:07:18,580 --> 00:07:25,630 essay I wrote about the need for a pool that better makes me lead involve our 66 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:32,910 swimmers I agree with Gators in the effort to location for our seniors I 67 00:07:29,490 --> 00:07:38,460 also research the process of having did you realize that our 35 to schools 68 00:07:35,790 --> 00:07:42,510 not having sidewalks this means that even that practice exam is five bucks 69 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:46,560 until you consummate before each meet the summers practice three practice 70 00:07:44,370 --> 00:07:49,770 starts that's rather than warm-up we never get to practice relay starts other 71 00:07:48,630 --> 00:07:55,590 than when you are currently participating listen to me this is a 72 00:07:52,020 --> 00:07:58,980 huge disadvantage for us hey if our team was able to practice who single - sorry 73 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:03,389 max I know it can be even more competitive a great start continue off 74 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:08,430 second which maybe teach different for each race according to a study about the 75 00:08:05,940 --> 00:08:13,620 Regnier air rifle even for a scientist servers with less experience have some 76 00:08:10,830 --> 00:08:16,380 reaction times in the raw bar starts our swimmers are limited on the 77 00:08:15,060 --> 00:08:21,060 opportunities they have to try to workout start since we do now from these 78 00:08:18,210 --> 00:08:32,370 high class use parts of words of benefit faster times and could be more 79 00:08:22,530 --> 00:08:35,940 competitive proper consideration my name is Rachel Liberty and I am a fellow 80 00:08:34,110 --> 00:08:39,960 captain of the Montana girls swim and dive for the 2018 season I may be 81 00:08:38,310 --> 00:08:43,469 captain next year but I will also be senior this comes with the 82 00:08:41,700 --> 00:08:47,130 responsibility to leave the school and more specifically my swim family with a 83 00:08:45,630 --> 00:08:51,839 better community and environment for classes to come well unfortunately there 84 00:08:49,530 --> 00:08:54,810 are financial issues were looking at to prove the facility for the girls swim 85 00:08:53,339 --> 00:09:00,330 and dive team which should not be forgotten is the safety of these student 86 00:08:56,580 --> 00:09:03,209 athletes who located so far away from high school puts unnecessary 87 00:09:01,700 --> 00:09:07,740 responsibilities on classmen were often expected to drive 88 00:09:05,309 --> 00:09:12,300 younger someday younger swimmers to and from not only the high schools but also 89 00:09:09,209 --> 00:09:16,290 to the pool our team only has a practice bus for 10 out of the 15 weeks of the 90 00:09:14,309 --> 00:09:20,429 swim season for those remaining five weeks of our class you know families 91 00:09:17,910 --> 00:09:24,929 must provide this transportation to and from the goal the practices are late and 92 00:09:22,829 --> 00:09:28,439 Ed well after sundown at the end of our fall season in November it is both dark 93 00:09:27,089 --> 00:09:32,610 when we arrived and when we leave the pool for practice furthermore we often 94 00:09:30,779 --> 00:09:36,990 see deer and other animals on County roads located around Oakland junior high 95 00:09:34,639 --> 00:09:40,679 with only months or maybe a year of driving experience and younger soldiers 96 00:09:38,519 --> 00:09:45,480 in the car my first concern is their safety I believe this should be the top 97 00:09:43,139 --> 00:09:49,619 concern to breed as well this next season there are 84 upperclassman girls 98 00:09:47,550 --> 00:09:53,730 were old enough to drive I genuinely think it is dangerous to drive so far 99 00:09:51,839 --> 00:09:58,170 back and forth through practices but responsible for my fellow athletes I'm 100 00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:01,529 extremely exhausted after a practice in addition to a long day of classes and 101 00:09:59,670 --> 00:10:05,879 studying if we could practice at a closer location I know girls would get 102 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:09,480 home earlier and more safely the roads near the YMCA are not as remote they're 103 00:10:08,220 --> 00:10:13,139 far better lit with more traffic regulations I hope you consider every 104 00:10:11,610 --> 00:10:17,899 factor when making this decision that greatly impacts a group of your student 105 00:10:14,670 --> 00:10:17,899 athletes thank you very much 106 00:10:24,060 --> 00:10:31,880 I appreciate the y'all to be different point of view about your request thank 107 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:35,750 you next we have Mike Goldman 108 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:47,209 I know that thank you for giving me a moment to speak with you on behalf of 109 00:10:44,809 --> 00:10:53,360 the girls swimming and diving team my name is Mike Goldman and I've worked for 110 00:10:49,389 --> 00:10:57,920 media school district as a coach and I want to discuss several reasons why it 111 00:10:55,100 --> 00:11:02,929 makes sense to move our practices slowly to the white bear YMCA and first of all 112 00:11:00,860 --> 00:11:09,739 was mentioned the lack of starting blocks not only this is too shallow to 113 00:11:07,759 --> 00:11:14,179 have starting blocks but another issue that we have is we can't even do starts 114 00:11:12,470 --> 00:11:18,019 off with the death without blocks because it's three and a half feet deep 115 00:11:16,129 --> 00:11:24,350 that needs to be startled feet deep before that so occurred so we can't even 116 00:11:20,329 --> 00:11:28,670 simulate that part of it secondly most other teams have the opportunity to 117 00:11:26,029 --> 00:11:33,230 start multiple times a week and we only have a few opportunities during the 118 00:11:30,589 --> 00:11:38,959 season to do that and it's very limited and there are a lot of safety aspects in 119 00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:43,040 regards to starts if you go too deep there is a possibility summit but at the 120 00:11:41,329 --> 00:11:47,059 bottom of acceptor human is water that's five six feet deep so we don't get the 121 00:11:45,290 --> 00:11:49,910 opportunity to work on those things and secondly the thing that a lot of people 122 00:11:48,919 --> 00:11:53,540 don't think about it relay students you have an incoming 123 00:11:51,439 --> 00:11:56,569 swimmer that the outgoing swimwear hasn't had an opportunity to practice 124 00:11:55,279 --> 00:12:00,279 starts there is always a possibility that they could act 125 00:12:00,940 --> 00:12:09,770 so we don't get those opportunities like other schools spectively 126 00:12:06,550 --> 00:12:13,250 when we look at swimming events at the high school level a double-date 11 127 00:12:11,330 --> 00:12:18,260 swimming events are conservative sprint events and we never get the opportunity 128 00:12:15,140 --> 00:12:22,310 to speed which makes speed work effectively made you starts off watch 129 00:12:20,149 --> 00:12:26,330 these threads like blocks where you're going to get a higher speed so that's 130 00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:30,140 something that we lacked in that something that would be very beneficial 131 00:12:28,010 --> 00:12:33,470 for this program in regards to taking it to the next level 132 00:12:31,330 --> 00:12:38,870 lastly I mentioned the pool is very shallow one issue we deal with also with 133 00:12:36,170 --> 00:12:42,890 taller an individual sis of because it's only three and a half feet deep it makes 134 00:12:40,730 --> 00:12:47,330 it a lot more difficult to do turns over turn flip shirts and a new style turn 135 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:50,959 that they do in the individual medley a bit called a box turn where the 136 00:12:49,220 --> 00:12:54,980 individual opens up a little bit more on their turn and there is much greater 137 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:59,930 possibility of getting bottoming but we tend to observe is these swimmers 138 00:12:57,339 --> 00:13:07,820 sometimes are inhibited with their currency competition and as fast as they 139 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:13,010 the second thing I want to address is issue with the dining facility down that 140 00:13:09,890 --> 00:13:18,410 hopefully the middle school going into the season we were you know pretty much 141 00:13:16,610 --> 00:13:23,230 aware that the diet important needed to be refurbished it is up losing most of 142 00:13:21,290 --> 00:13:27,980 the abrasive surface on it and the retaining bolts are coming loose but we 143 00:13:26,210 --> 00:13:33,170 just recently found out also that the pool is actually not deep enough to meet 144 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:42,380 high school safety guidelines and that's a big issue for us the third thing I 145 00:13:39,980 --> 00:13:48,700 want address is some of the benefits of moving to a facility like the White Bear 146 00:13:44,330 --> 00:13:48,700 YMCA first of all it's a much bigger 147 00:13:52,660 --> 00:14:00,680 yeah okay well I just want to say say that's one of the most important things 148 00:13:58,580 --> 00:14:04,610 about moving to this only way when I see a we can call that a facility at our 149 00:14:02,450 --> 00:14:09,050 home it would be a base for us we'd be able to host meet sir versus having the 150 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:13,070 host meets at other facilities or even at the opposing teams facilities so I'm 151 00:14:11,570 --> 00:14:15,250 one thank you for your consideration of this matter 152 00:14:18,830 --> 00:14:27,560 next we have Morton see this room who is discussing public comment 153 00:14:34,490 --> 00:14:42,740 good evening Lord service company or did you communicate about density in terms 154 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:45,920 of funding I think perhaps maybe you do good start 155 00:14:43,370 --> 00:14:50,510 I know I'll be giving grants to pursue some more state and also private grants 156 00:14:47,780 --> 00:15:06,920 that might be also an answer to some of the funding issues the other thing I 157 00:14:55,700 --> 00:15:11,210 mentioned mayor Huber got up and spoke without recognition several things there 158 00:15:09,110 --> 00:15:19,010 needs to be more transparency it's public comment that public censorship so 159 00:15:14,450 --> 00:15:25,070 I think we really need to allow people to speak it mean democracy it's the will 160 00:15:22,820 --> 00:15:31,970 the majority but also we need to respect the voice of minority and they also go a 161 00:15:29,450 --> 00:15:35,440 long ways in teaching their children to like democracy thank you 162 00:15:38,380 --> 00:15:41,500 [Applause] 163 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:58,649 [Applause] giving port I am so excited safe new 164 00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:05,360 summer first I want to say that deputy is back to the room back there I asked 165 00:16:02,309 --> 00:16:13,680 the sheriff to send him over here to protect citizens and the press from the 166 00:16:10,079 --> 00:16:19,980 abuses of the school board and protect our right of free speech and the right 167 00:16:15,930 --> 00:16:25,860 to petition our government less people most of all YouTube I hope people would 168 00:16:23,879 --> 00:16:34,800 take the opportunity to look at less forward means the YouTube Shannon Bryan 169 00:16:31,079 --> 00:16:42,329 or Washington County watchdog Facebook site it's appalling you know home public 170 00:16:38,879 --> 00:16:47,759 your commenters public comments is is the citizens opportunity to petition 171 00:16:45,449 --> 00:16:53,339 their government so chary you said if you interrupt the speaker you will be 172 00:16:51,509 --> 00:16:59,759 asked to leave I hope that applies to the board that there's just not the 173 00:16:55,319 --> 00:17:04,919 people last time you interrupted me you didn't allow my three minutes to speak
