Regular Council Meeting Minutes 9-21-09 Page 7 Ordinance Review Committee - Mr. Marquardt reported that Ordinance Review met on September 8t . There were three items on the agenda, gas and oil well drilling discussion, a fence ordinance and golf carts. There is one item on the agenda tonight, modification to our solicitation ordinance. That's a fallout to the gas and oil well drilling. There will be more coming down the line. The fence ordinance will be up for more discussion. The golf cart has been dropped. Planning and Zoning - Mr. Marquardt reported that Planning and Zoning met on September 8th. There are two items on the agenda, lot split and consolidation for the Metroparks and the Wellman property and a conditional use permit for 700 Beta Conference Center. Both items were addressed and recommended for approval by Council tonight. Recreation Board - Mr. Marrie reported that Recreation Board met on Wednesday the 18th. A couple of the items that we have talked about was the proposal by Team Energetics. There was a lengthy discussion on that. Members of the Recreation Committee felt that the monthly payment that we were asked to pay for possible membership was way out of line. They also felt that we really didn't need it with Progressive. It was pretty unanimous that the Recreation Board felt that, as Mr. Marrie mentioned earlier, the timing for this was just wrong. Part of the wellness is very commendable. Mr. Marrie thinks that is a great idea, but they did not feel that that amount of money per month for five years was warranted at this time. Especially at this time. There was some discussion or suggestion that the Activities Committee and the Recreation Board would meet together. The Recreation Board felt that they should be kept separate because they work on different rules and different situations. They felt that a combined meeting was not necessary. Parkview Pool, we all know we had very cool weather this year compared to most of them but everyone on the Committee were very involved with the discussions from the year before, the staff and the behavior of some of the patrons. Everything went very very well this year. There were no complaints at a11. The closing of the pool on the 25?' of August was also well received. Unfortunately we got some hot weather, but the closing of the pool saved us a considerable amount of money. There was no real harm done. They also discussed the Halloween party which is coming up on Saturday the 24I' of October from 1:00-2:30. This year it is in the Village Civic Center here, not in the Community Room. We could use volunteers with that many children so anyone who can spare an hour and a half would be certainly welcome. Bill is also working with Paul Lynch from the Key Club to do the haunted house for the kids. That was always done by the Boy Scouts. Some of the Boy Scouts have grown up, gone to college and have their own families now, so, it is pretty well not going to be done by the Scouts anymore, so the Key Club hopefully is going to do it. Mr. Thomas confirmed that they are.
