The City Council on Tuesday, September 26 will recognize some outstanding athletes who won the 2023 USA Diving Junior Nationals at the Marguerite Aquatics Center as well as consider agreements with the Nadadores and a youth-oriented musical theatre program, among other business.
The business portion of the meeting starts at 6 pm in the City Hall Council Chamber at 200 Civic Center.
The Council will recognize the Mission Viejo Nadadores who won the Team Championship this summer at the 2023 USA Diving Junior Nationals at the Marguerite Aquatics Center. Divers from across the country, who stayed in local hotels and patronized Mission Viejo establishments, competed in this prestigious event, and the Council will present Certificates of Commendation to the Mission Viejo teammates who earned the distinction.
The Council will consider an amendment to the longtime Facilities Use Agreement between the City and Mission Viejo Nadadores Foundation for use of the Marguerite Aquatics Center. Compared to other aquatics agencies in the area, Mission Viejo’s facility serves the most users and at a fraction of the cost. This proposed amendment was drafted to redistribute and clarify the responsibilities of both parties to better align to the strengths of each.
As plans are being developed and reviewed for the future of the MART building at 25280 Marguerite over the next 15 months, the Council will consider awarding an agreement to the theater group Bravo Players Guild for the temporary use of a portion of the building. Bravo Players Guild is a youth-oriented musical theatre program for children aged 7-17.
To help bring awareness to the importance of children’s emotional well-being and mitigate mental health challenges later in life. The Council will issue a proclamation recognizing September as Children’s Emotional Wellness Month.
Council meetings are streamed live on the City’s website and air on Cox Channel 30 and AT&T U-Verse Channel 99. Residents are encouraged to sign up for the City’s eNewsletter and follow the City’s official social media sites for the most accurate, up-to-date information.
