With hopes of improving access for students and faculty at the gym on the College of San Mateo campus, community college officials moved toward finding a new operator for the San Mateo Athletic Club.
The San Mateo County Community College District Board of Trustees voted 4-1, with board President Thomas Nuris dissenting, to begin negotiations with gym operation company Power Wellness during a meeting Monday, Dec. 21.
The decision marks a shift in direction for officials whose relationship with current gym operator Exos started to sour due to concerns that the company favored its paid base of clients over the needs of the school community.
To the dismay of those wishing to finally resolve a lingering, thorny issue for the community college district, officials agreed to continue deliberations and analysis of the operating contract for the San Mateo Athletic Club.
The San Mateo County Community College District Board of Trustees decided during a meeting Monday, Dec. 14, to take more time trying to resolve the question of which company will run the gym located on the College of San Mateo campus.
But following more than six months of discussing whether the district will extend its deal with current operator Exos, trustees shared their frustration with taking up the issue during a meeting only weeks away from an approaching contract expiration date at the end of the year.

Loretta Adrian hasn’t left Orange County yet, but she’s already thinking about all the things she’s going to miss.
She said she’ll miss her faculty, staff and colleagues. She’ll miss the students at Coastline College, where she’s served as president for the three satellite campuses for over a decade. And she’ll miss the abundance of Vietnamese food here “I love food,” she added, laughing.
There’s other things Adrian will miss when she retires in June but for now, she’s enjoying her time before she steps down.
