Jonathan Barefoot presented an application and expressed his desire to
serve as the adapted recreation representative to the council. A
mention was made and seconded to approve Jonathan as a council

Graham Brown. Graham did not attend. No action was taken on his

Departmental Program Information
A. Status of Altered Guest Pass Policy-Jenny Gregory was scheduled to
present on this issue. Jenny was unable to attend and requested that
this item be tabled to the next meeting.
B. CRW Wellness Proposal-“Living and Learning Communities”
Nance Mize presented the Living and Learning Community program
information (see attached information). Some discussion ensued
with some very positive statements with regard to CRW
involvements in this program. A brief summary of the L&L
Community proposal is attached.
C. Status of North Recreational Complex Phase II
A “draft” rendering of the NRC was distributed. The color rendition
showed updated information with regard to Phase II. The boat house,
sand volleyball courts and lake enlargement were depicted as well as
space denoted for construction management academic use and disc
golf relocation. A few changes have been requested including moving
the challenge course to the southerly end of the project below the
boat house, limiting the tennis courts to a battery of 4 courts and
more accurately depicting the area intended for the disc golf course.
Once these changes have been made, the rendering will be
“updated”. The color rendering is attached.
V.
Updates
A. Polar Bear Pool Party-The 14th annual Polar Bear Plunge was held a
the SRC on 1/21. 701 jumpers took the plunge. WITN news attended
the event and provided TV news coverage during the night. This was
a very significant special event coordinated by Campus Recreation

ted_in_this_years_polar_bear_plunge/99401/ .
B. Cardio Deck II Room Status-There was some discussion regarding the
cardio deck occupying the old squash court. Council members made
several observations including 1) the room has a feeling of being
tucked in a corner and “inaccessible”; 2) people using the area at the
front don’t realize the second room is available; 3) more signs are
needed to state the availability of the second room and to encourage
people to use it as an overflow with regard to Cardio Deck I; 4) the
cycling class was successful when it was held in the front area; 5)
would be good to look at doing a spinning class in a more visible area
of the facility if we can find such an area to accommodate the class;
6) Newer bikes are having some problems; 7) quality repair parts are
not always easily available sometimes requiring that we cannibalize
one bike to keep several working; 8) room gets very humid but built
in fan on machine helps; 9) TV in room would help; 10)
recommendation by several to put some elliptical machines up front
and mix the equipment up some; 11) have staff walk the floor during
busy time and remind people that the overflow room is available.
C. Incentive Program Status – Alan Nielson brought the group up to
date with the status of the incentive program. Last semester’s
program was very successful. This semester’s program is call “Swim
to the plate” and designed to allow a variety of aquatic activities to
be counted instead of just swimming. All activities are recorded in 30
minute time periods. This allows water walking, swimming,
aquarobics etc. to be included in the program. Participants will be
entered into a drawing based on the completion of a 10 hour block of
time, one entry for each 10 hour block. The grand prizes will be 1) a
Keith LeClair era baseball helmet signed by all the current team
members and 2 tickets to a home ECU baseball game; 2) 2 tickets to
an ECU home baseball game as the second place drawing.
D. Altering Holiday Hours- Pat acknowledged making changes in the
operational hours over the Christmas holidays to open the facility
earlier during a two week period to accommodate special requests
by people wishing to work out. Since this has occurred over the past
two holiday periods, Pat will try to a make these arrangements a
permanent part of the scheduling process to eliminate last minute
changes in operational hours.
VI.
Closing- a motion was made and a second secured to adjourn the
meeting at 6:25 pm. Sorry, ran a little late.

Living and Learning Community Proposal Summary
The Wellness Living/Learning Community proposal has been approved with
some final arrangements, primarily budget issues, still needing to be resolved.
The GA will report to Tywanna Purkette. Applications for student involvement
are being developed with the anticipation of housing 25 students in Jones Hall
starting in the fall of 2010 and moving to fill 50 spots in the next year which
would fill an entire floor. The GA will provide 20-24 hours of assistance starting
in the summer of 2010 to allow for program planning. Implementation of the
program during the 2010 and 2011 school years will determine the reoccurring
need for a summer GA or not. It is anticipated that as the group grows to 50
participants, a second GA will be needed. The GA will be deeply involved in the
day-to-day operations of the WLL community by being involved in several
aspects. All students will receive a health risk assessment with the GA working
to provide individual plans to each student and working to help them meet
their goals. The GA will not live in the hall. The GA will provide peer health
training and work with Tywanna to teach the Peer Health Class. Student
selection must be made by May of 2010, therefore the Wellness staff will
complete the selection process initially with the GA being involved in the
process in the future. GA’s will help identify volunteer service learning projects
which will be focused on individual work with youth groups in the community.
Housing is currently paying for the RA for this project and Karen and Nance are
working on funding proposals. Karen distributed a budget indicating
approximately $20,000 +/- for 25 students with a large portion of the budget
being the GA cost and the remainder operational expenses (food, shirts,
transportation, expendables etc.). There proposals for financial assistance
exist.
1) Proposal for gift from Blue Cross and Blue Shield to develop the living and
learning community names after them. This is a full funding request.
2) Housing to pay for entirety or some portion
3) CRW to pay for those budgeted items ($20,000 +/-)
Karen indicated that the high per capita cost needs to be looked at in lieu of
the university commitment to develop Living and Learning Communities of this
nature and the fact that a community of this nature does not seem to
currently exist.
No out of state GA waiver currently exists but is an option to pursue. The GA
can also do some programming in the L/L community hall but the C-Wells
would remain the primary programming group.

FIT MANIA INCENTIVE PROGRAM - FALL 2009
Fit Mania: September 21 – October 28
Fit Mania is an activity incentive program modeled after the popular mixed martial arts craze.
The goal of the program is to encourage regular participation in physical activity. The fall
academic season lends itself to an initial interest in activity, followed by a quick drop in
motivation and participation. Fit Mania is a simple, thematic method of tracking minutes CRW
members (including students) are engaged in physical activity. CRW members are rewarded
with incentive devices as activity minutes are accumulated.

September 16; 3:00 – 8:00 (time frame)
To Record Activity Minutes: Participants will record workout date and time in the
activity log. A Fitness or Aquatics Staff members must initial each workout entry.

completed. If a participants fails to record activity after an activity session (day of),
those minutes are not to be applied to the accumulation.

they reach Level One, Two and Three. Those cards can be redeemed in the SRC Main

prizes in the SRC Main Office. Tap Outs will be verified by the participant’s activity log
