1- Additions to the agenda
    None

2- President’s report on the state of the Club
    David Diggle welcomes the shareholders and introduces the four senior staff members.
    He goes on to say that Valleycrest has been a success for the last few years but the cost of running the pool
    is rising all the time.
    The City of Pierrefonds is moving more and more towards 'user-pay' and its subsidies have decreased by 30%
    in the past 5 years.
    The difference in monies to the pool is made up by fundraising and the work of volunteers.
    The diving board base needs to be replaced and a sprinkler system would need to be installed seeing the condition
    of the grass area by the end of July each year.
    Last year saw some changes and improvements such as the new fencing (no more tarps to put up), "pavé-uni"
    around the Snack-Shack and the retaining wall with fill-in to extend the grass area right up to the deck.
    The new passes worked well in keeping out non-members and gate monies were double those of the previous year.
    1999 passes must be returned with this year's registration and will be validated for this summer with a sticker.

3- Treasurer’s report for fiscal year 1999
    A copy of the Treasurer's report for fiscal year 1999 is available to shareholders upon request. Please e-mail your
    request to  <mjeanr@sympatico.com>  att.Darlene Fairlie .

4- Nomination and election of the candidates for the following committee positions:
    a) Secretary: Marc Lafontaine
                        Nominated by Ed Sequeira
                        Seconded by Joe Housey
    Marc Lafontaine is voted in as secretary by acclamation .

    b) Maintenance Manager: Wayne Pilling
                        Nominated by Loana Housey
                        Seconded by Catherine D'Urso
    Wayne Pilling is voted in as Maintenance Manager by acclamation .

    Lois Pickard queries the absence of J.P. Dubé, vice-president.
    David Diggle replies that J.P. Dubé tendered his resignation 3 weeks ago and that the committee has chosen to
    combine the events-organizing of the vice-presidency with the Fundraising portfolio.  Ed Sequeira, who held the latter portfolio,
    has agreed to take on both mandates as new vice-president.

    David asks Kevin Carroll about the schedule for the summer.
    Kevin replies that an early bird swim will be introduced this year from 6:30 to 7:00am, Monday to Friday.
    Questions from the floor are halted so that the meeting may proceed with # 5.

5- Discussion and vote by the assembly on the following proposal:
    - increase the total of Valleycrest shares from 250 to 275
  or  increase the family membership fees from $210 (basic fee for 2000) to $235

    After much discussion and suggestions by the following members; David Baldoni, Uranie Karahalios, Andrea Sequeira,
    Andrea Clifford, Debbie Diggle, Darlene Fairlie, Antonio Janeiro, Dave Diggle, Robert Adams, Harold Bailey, Yves Martel
    Gary & Brenda Farrell, Manon Giroux, Joe & Loana Housey, Wayne Pilling and Catherine D'Urso -

    Robert Adams motions for the proposal to read as two questions and to be voted on separately.
    Harold Bailey seconds the motion.

    Vote by a show of hands: No to the first part (Increase the total of VYC shares from 250 to 275)

    More discussion ensues as to the increase, if any, of the family membership fee. David Diggle responds that the increase
    from $210 to $235 is necessary to run the pool properly this year.

    Antonio Janeiro inquires how our fees compare to other Pierrefonds Pools.
    David Diggle responds that, except for Thorndale Pool that has 350 members, Valleycrest has the lowest fees followed closely
    by Thorndale. The increase would bring us up closer to the other three pools.

    Vote by a show of hands: Yes to the second part (Increase the family membership from $210 to $235)

6- Question period
    Antonio Janeiro: when do we stop raising the fees?
    David Diggle: fees are raised only when needed and not for the sake of a raising them. Volunteers keep the costs down
                        with labour and fundraising.

    Debbie Pealow presents $200 to Valleycrest. This is the portion raised by the sale of shorts and sports equipment on
    opening  weekend and at events last summer. She and her husband have their own business "...we want to be allowed
    to sell sports equipment at one big sale at the beginning of the season, invite the community and maybe make $2000.
    All the other pools do it."
    Dave Diggle: Other members would also like to have the same opportunity and the last time it was offered, there were
                       only two takers.

    Robert Adams: re diving board base and repairs; is the deep end of the pool deep enough for a new board?
    David Diggle: the board is the same, 1 meter, but it will now have a proper fulcrum with the acquisition of a new base.

    Antonio Janeiro: Could we open earlier if we have an early summer?
    David Diggle: We open on June 10th this year with a pre-season week with shorter hours because  kids are still in school
                        until later in the month and the staff are also busy with school or spring jobs.

    Suggestions:
    Gary Farrell: Would it be possible to have the costs of these repairs or new articles laid out for the members? ...and the
                        rest on a wish list?
    David Diggle: We will take this under advisement

    Joe Housey: Could we get a proper sound system.
    David Diggle: We're looking into it for synchro, parties, etc...

    Wayne Pilling: Would it be possible to recognize the outgoing vice-president and maintenance manager?...
                          perhaps with a plaque to be hung at the pool.
    David Diggle: Yes

    Mayda Cocoromytis: Could we have a slide...
    David Diggle: It's being considered

    Andrea Sequeira: On very hot days the baby pool is too full. Could a bigger one be built to accomodate all these little kids and
                              all the parents sitting around it.
    David Diggle: To build a new baby pool we need more land. We have asked the City for the tennis courts but there has been no
                        response. We had been promised (verbally) a 30-foot strip a long time ago but when the parking lot was built
                        we were forgotten. The brick cabane has been given to the soccer organisation. The space behind the pumphouse
                        is dead space for now but we should be using it more. We have approached Gerry Robertson about the courts.
    Lois Pickard: Alan Pickard and Michael Labelle, both members of VYC and city councillors are working on our behalf on this
                        matter.
