Show Swim retreat of the City Council on Jan. 14 some questions about the swim team and their finances, saying the group had been unwilling to turn its records over to the city. Adamson explained the team had set up its account as a non-profit, fund-raising arm of the team to help buy equipment - the city was unable to provide because of budgetary restraints. She was initially unwilling to turn over the bank account records. There are five joint account holders on this account, in which I responded respond-ed to the city that I didn't feel it was ethically right for one account holder to turn over all the information on an account without consent of the other joint account holders " she told The Citizen. Citi-zen. "Information on the account was sent to City Hall the next morning, after consent from all account holders. We weren't trying to hide anything, even though that is what we were accused of doing. We were simply following the instructions given to us several sev-eral years ago to separate these funds from the city." She said the cash flow from the team has been good. "AVe are a self-sufficient entity of the city, and even after a ll of our expenses, the revenue generated by HAST has contributed to the fitness center an average aver-age in excess of $ 10,000 each year for the past three years' Ve just feel like they need to get our records straight,'' she said. "We have sent up all of our records and sent everything that they have asked. It is really in their hands " LeBaron reported the Freeway hand. 100 West runs from the American Fork Boat Harbor to Alpine, while Center Cen-ter Street ends at 600 North. "100 West is a fairly low-voluixe low-voluixe street.'5 said Cabell. This could change its character char-acter and the quality of life of the residents would be affected. Another issue impacting the decision is the American Fork River. While on the north s:de of the freeway the river is covered in several sev-eral places, on the south sice ;t is open and natural.

"The dialogue has been very positive," he said. "There definitely needs to be some communication, adjustments and tweaking." Adamson agreed, but may have a different perspective. per-spective. "We have gone through the records," she said. The numbers they have down at City Hall and what we have in receipts do not even come close to matching. We think we are not being credited for the revenues sent in. We are also being debited for other department expenses" expens-es" Some of the concerns were related to wages. Adamson explained the team pays two individuals to set up the meet and related equipment and clean up after. During the competition, two are paid to run the timing system and the computer. "We do not pay the timers," she said. "All timers are parent volunteers. We do not pay our officials. They are all volunteers." There have been reports of complaints the team members use too much pool space and left messes in the locker rooms. Adamson reported more than 55 team members 12 and under attend morning training sessions. There are 12 to 15 kids in a lane," she said. "We feel like we are using our pool space fabulously. When they get in the locker room, I am sure they are noisy. We have tried to teach the kids to keep their voices down and be respectful. We have a parent volunteer who helps monitor the locker room activity." continued from front page ning issue " Cabell said. He outlined an additional option which would require fewer freeway crossings, but a change in the city's philosophy. philos-ophy. "If American Fork builds out on the other side of the freeway and developers are always trying to get more density, there will not be enough capacity to get across the freeway at levels of congestion that people would accept. Another option is to change the city's land use plan " He told the planners that would entail putting in commercial areas on the south of the freeway so people would not have to cross it as much.
