COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Naming of Swimming Pool Complex at Blakely Park "Enze/Field Swim Complex"
MEETING DATE: October 6, 1993
PREPARED BY: Parks and Recreation Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve by resolution the naming of the swimming
pool at Blakely Park the "Enze/Field Swim Complex".
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: For many years Marilyn Field, Recreation Superintendent, worked hand-in-
hand with Mel Enze in all phases of the Recreation and Parks Department's
aquatic programs. Earlier as the Lodi City Swim Club operations and
activities, then through the development of the Lodi Summer Swim League.
Today the league consists of four teams and over 400 youthful swimmers and many, many volunteers.
Most recently as Superintendent of Recreation, she directed and worked with Mike Reese, Aquatics
Supervisor, and John Griffin, Lodi City Swim Club to assist wherever needed. She not only heiped with the
these two programs, but also swimming lessons. boat rental operations, and part-time staff issues and
coordination.
It was the Parks and Recreation Commission's feeling that with all this involvement, a fitting recognition would
be to rename the swimming areas (two pools) at Blakely Park the "Enze/Field Swim Complex". We have
contacted the Enze family and they whole-heartedly approved the concept and request.
We therefore hope by Council action and resolution, you approve our request.
FUNDING: Cost of painting or letters to be applied on the wall at the swim center. Cost should not
exceed S1500 and it is expected to be less. These monies would be sought by a request of a special
allocation and come from the general or contingency fund.
