have some people who wish to address us
[3:57] tonight
time to us okay
[4:06] with Justin showers and grateful
delivery the other thing I failed to say
[4:13] in my log introduction is you expect you
to limit your comments to three minutes
[4:19] we hold you to that and not to repeat
each other so if you have something to
[4:24] say it is different or somebody's
already spoke great do not expect you to
[4:28] come out to say the same thing if
somebody else is already set
[4:38] please introduce yourself to the
audience response
[4:54] they came out of chairperson school
board members and dr. Larson my name is
[5:00] Kate Hoffman I'm a sophomore at Montana
high school and as a captain next year
[5:06] I'm here tonight speaking on behalf of
the modernized an entire tune to urge
[5:10] your approval of the contract at the
White Bear Lake YMCA without we can hold
[5:15] our practices and meet there next year
I've been immersed in seventh grade and
[5:19] I love the coaches and girls a struggle
for being among 17 is the practice
[5:25] location and the practice times if you
practice that balloon pool which is
[5:28] about a 25-minute bus ride you try to
practice I leave my house about 6:15 to
[5:36] carpool and arrive at the high school
for the bus to leave at 6:45 we arrive
[5:41] at Oakland at 7:15 and practice until
9:15 after practice we pull warm clothes
[5:46] over what swimsuits we need to be out of
the pool area with an advisor next pub
[5:51] at the end of practice because we don't
have enough time to shower then we
[5:55] quickly get back on the bus to ride back
to the high school after we meet our
[6:00] carpool and we usually arrive home about
ten then we need to shower and eat
[6:05] something studying and get ready for
fast I usually get to bed around 11:00
[6:08] p.m. and asked to come to the team over
the past year I know the girls the
[6:14] school bird has been morgana sleep study
I know that the girls don't get enough
[6:18] sleep during the summer season if you
weren't able to practice at the YMCA
[6:22] pool the commute I would be dramatically
reduced even if the practice times were
[6:26] similar the commute time for the team
would be so much less due to closer
[6:30] location we wouldn't either practice bus
since the YMCA is so much
[6:34] high school I know I would be a varsity
I can concentrate better in my classes
[6:39] we could also perform physically and
mentally better at school as put the
[6:43] other teammates thinking for a
consideration of our request thank you
[6:52] thank you madam chairperson school board
members and dr. Larson my name is Josiah
[6:57] and I'm excited to be a captain for
Miami Vice and and dive deeper
[7:01] initiative I'm seriously wicked as a
seventh grader I'm also a sophomore at
[7:06] Waianae high school for my Derrick
recipe on the swim team is connected
[7:11] with the other girls and seeing how they
grow throughout the services in this
[7:14] past fall and mr. Christiansen English
class viewers had to do a persuasive
[7:18] essay I wrote about the need for a pool
that better makes me lead involve our
[7:22] swimmers I agree with Gators in the
effort to location for our seniors I
[7:29] also research the process of having
did you realize that our 35 to schools
[7:35] not having sidewalks this means that
even that practice exam is five bucks
[7:40] until you consummate before each meet
the summers practice three practice
[7:44] starts that's rather than warm-up we
never get to practice relay starts other
[7:48] than when you are currently
participating listen to me this is a
[7:52] huge disadvantage for us hey if our team
was able to practice who single - sorry
[7:57] max I know it can be even more
competitive a great start continue off
[8:01] second which maybe teach different for
each race according to a study about the
[8:05] Regnier air rifle even for a scientist
servers with less experience have some
[8:10] reaction times in the raw bar starts our
swimmers are limited on the
[8:15] opportunities they have to try to
workout start since we do now from these
[8:18] high class use parts of words of benefit
faster times and could be more
[8:22] competitive proper consideration my name
is Rachel Liberty and I am a fellow
[8:34] captain of the Montana girls swim and
dive for the 2018 season I may be
[8:38] captain next year but I will also be
senior this comes with the
[8:41] responsibility to leave the school and
more specifically my swim family with a
[8:45] better community and environment for
classes to come well unfortunately there
[8:49] are financial issues were looking at to
prove the facility for the girls swim
[8:53] and dive team which should not be
forgotten is the safety of these student
[8:56] athletes who located so far away from
high school puts unnecessary
[9:01] responsibilities on
classmen were often expected to drive
[9:05] younger someday younger swimmers to and
from not only the high schools but also
[9:09] to the pool our team only has a practice
bus for 10 out of the 15 weeks of the
[9:14] swim season for those remaining five
weeks of our class you know families
[9:17] must provide this transportation to and
from the goal the practices are late and
[9:22] Ed well after sundown at the end of our
fall season in November it is both dark
[9:27] when we arrived and when we leave the
pool for practice furthermore we often
[9:30] see deer and other animals on County
roads located around Oakland junior high
[9:34] with only months or maybe a year of
driving experience and younger soldiers
[9:38] in the car my first concern is their
safety I believe this should be the top
[9:43] concern to breed as well this next
season there are 84 upperclassman girls
[9:47] were old enough to drive I genuinely
think it is dangerous to drive so far
[9:51] back and forth through practices but
responsible for my fellow athletes I'm
[9:55] extremely exhausted after a practice in
addition to a long day of classes and
[9:59] studying if we could practice at a
closer location I know girls would get
[10:03] home earlier and more safely the roads
near the YMCA are not as remote they're
[10:08] far better lit with more traffic
regulations I hope you consider every
[10:11] factor when making this decision that
greatly impacts a group of your student
[10:14] athletes thank you very much
[10:24] I appreciate the y'all to be different
point of view about your request thank
[10:30] you
next we have Mike Goldman
[10:38] I know that thank you for giving me a
moment to speak with you on behalf of
[10:44] the girls swimming and diving team my
name is Mike Goldman and I've worked for
[10:49] media school district as a coach and I
want to discuss several reasons why it
[10:55] makes sense to move our practices slowly
to the white bear YMCA and first of all
[11:00] was mentioned the lack of starting
blocks not only this is too shallow to
[11:07] have starting blocks but another issue
that we have is we can't even do starts
[11:12] off with the death without blocks
because it's three and a half feet deep
[11:16] that needs to be startled feet deep
before that so occurred so we can't even
[11:20] simulate that part of it secondly most
other teams have the opportunity to
[11:26] start multiple times a week and we only
have a few opportunities during the
[11:30] season to do that and it's very limited
and there are a lot of safety aspects in
[11:36] regards to starts if you go too deep
there is a possibility summit but at the
[11:41] bottom of acceptor human is water that's
five six feet deep so we don't get the
[11:45] opportunity to work on those things and
secondly the thing that a lot of people
[11:48] don't think about it
relay students you have an incoming
[11:51] swimmer that the outgoing swimwear
hasn't had an opportunity to practice
[11:55] starts there is always a possibility
that they could act
[12:00] so we don't get those opportunities like
other schools spectively
[12:06] when we look at swimming events at the
high school level a double-date 11
[12:11] swimming events are conservative sprint
events and we never get the opportunity
[12:15] to speed which makes speed work
effectively made you starts off watch
[12:20] these threads like blocks where you're
going to get a higher speed so that's
[12:25] something that we lacked in that
something that would be very beneficial
[12:28] for this program in regards to taking it
to the next level
[12:31] lastly I mentioned the pool is very
shallow one issue we deal with also with
[12:36] taller an individual sis of because it's
only three and a half feet deep it makes
[12:40] it a lot more difficult to do turns over
turn flip shirts and a new style turn
[12:45] that they do in the individual medley a
bit called a box turn where the
[12:49] individual opens up a little bit more on
their turn and there is much greater
[12:52] possibility of getting bottoming but we
tend to observe is these swimmers
[12:57] sometimes are inhibited with their
currency competition and as fast as they
[13:05] the second thing I want to address is
issue with the dining facility down that
[13:09] hopefully the middle school going into
the season we were you know pretty much
[13:16] aware that the diet important needed to
be refurbished it is up losing most of
[13:21] the abrasive surface on it and the
retaining bolts are coming loose but we
[13:26] just recently found out also that the
pool is actually not deep enough to meet
[13:30] high school safety guidelines and that's
a big issue for us the third thing I
[13:39] want address is some of the benefits of
moving to a facility like the White Bear
[13:44] YMCA first of all it's a much bigger
[13:52] yeah okay well I just want to say say
that's one of the most important things
[13:58] about moving to this only way when I see
a we can call that a facility at our
[14:02] home it would be a base for us we'd be
able to host meet sir versus having the
[14:07] host meets at other facilities or even
at the opposing teams facilities so I'm
[14:11] one thank you for your consideration of
this matter
[14:18] next we have Morton see this room who is
discussing public comment
[14:34] good evening Lord service company or did
you communicate about density in terms
[14:39] of funding I think perhaps maybe you do
good start
[14:43] I know I'll be giving grants to pursue
some more state and also private grants
[14:47] that might be also an answer to some of
the funding issues the other thing I
[14:55] mentioned mayor Huber got up and spoke
without recognition several things there
[15:09] needs to be more transparency it's
public comment that public censorship so
[15:14] I think we really need to allow people
to speak it mean democracy it's the will
[15:22] the majority but also we need to respect
the voice of minority and they also go a
[15:29] long ways in teaching their children to
like democracy thank you
[15:38] [Applause]
[15:50] [Applause]
giving port I am so excited safe new
[15:55] summer first I want to say that deputy
is back to the room back there I asked
[16:02] the sheriff to send him over here to
protect citizens and the press from the
[16:10] abuses of the school board and protect
our right of free speech and the right
[16:15] to petition our government less people
most of all YouTube I hope people would
[16:23] take the opportunity to look at less
forward means the YouTube Shannon Bryan
[16:31] or Washington County watchdog Facebook
site it's appalling you know home public
[16:38] your commenters public comments is is
the citizens opportunity to petition
[16:45] their government so chary you said if
you interrupt the speaker you will be
[16:51] asked to leave I hope that applies to
the board that there's just not the
[16:55] people last time you interrupted me you
didn't allow my three minutes to speak
[17:01] bring up issues you know when you censor
the content of speech what I wanted to
[17:07] get up there and talks about the 40
million dollars that these citizens that
[17:12] are going to taxpayer they're going to
be on the hook for that Ice Arena for
[17:17] the next 20 years and the fact that it's
not going to have to come up to the
[17:21] voters that it's coming through the back
door you know and you limit those kind
[17:26] of kind of comments and then you know I
read when you read your intro there of
[17:34] all your your game rules I hope you put
that up on the school district website
[17:39] because to me on your agenda here
there's a presentation by the minute
[17:44] location this stuff all comes through
that School Board Association to tell
[17:50] this body and other school boards how to
get around the citizen and how to shut
[17:55] down public comments you don't want to
hear the things that we're here to
[17:59] praise Caesar we can talk if we're here
to say the king has no clothes this
[18:04] board and the superintendent will shut
them down I hope our next superintendent
[18:09] over here is a little more friendly with
the public and do not do all the
[18:17] dealings in the back room open the
system up you don't have to do the
[18:23] things you do here and have the citizens
have to call for protection from the
[18:29] police there was my court items but
thank you
[18:48] Oh
