Minutes of the Combined Caucus/Council Meeting 6-11-07 Page 9 Mr. DiNardo introduced Council to Rick Hall, who has been instrumental in assisting with the design of the lighting and sound and stage for the auditorium. He has been a resident for a few years here and has been helping us. Without his help, we probably would have gone a different direction with the sound and lighting. Mr. DiNardo advised everyone about the national solar conference at the Cleveland Convention Center on July 8th. It is free to the public. He will get some information for packets. Since we are doing the police station in solar panels, he thought it would be very interesting for everyone to make time to go down there and see how this technology works and what else is new for future projects. HUMAN SERVICES - Eunice Kalina Mrs. Kalina passed out a compilation of the surveys we have received thus far. We received 119. The figures don't necessarily add up because many people did not answer all of the questions and a number answered, "No, not yet" or "Not at this time". Some said, "No, never". But there were enough people who realized never say never to anything because we don't know. 1Vlany people were interested in transportation services down the line. We have a trip to Hartville June 21St that we are doing in conjunction with Schnurman Luther House. It has been closed today because it was filled. We cancelled our Erie, PA trip. We had very little response. Bill was doing another trip to the same area. He also had very little response. Both of those were cancelled. We have a good number of people taking our AARP safe driving class. Our computer classes are continuing. We have 2 picnics coming up, one in July and one in August at the new pavilion. STANDING COMMITTEE REPORTS: Activities Committee - Mrs. Mills thanked everyone who volunteered for 50's night. It was an extra special crowded event. At the popcorn stand which she was at the entire evening, we sold about 300 boxes of popcorn. We popped about 80 bags of popcorn. We did very well as far as the products that we had. They sold very well. Mrs. Mills gave Mrs. Betsa her opinion on some things that we can improve on. Billy James did a real super job as far as keeping the entertainment for the younger people and age groups. Having the dance studio there was very good. He kept going all night, even though he had broken his foot from dropping his speakers on it. He performed the whole show with ice packs on his foot. He is to be commended for that. Mrs. Mills cannot say enough about the volunteers that come out and help us coordinate all of this. They are special people. Our concerts start this Thursday the 14th. Please participate in that. Mark your calendars for the fireworks on June 30th. The Committee has done a super job in helping plan all of these events for the summer. Architectural Review Board - Mr: Marrelli reported that the Board met on May 24th and reviewed the police station exterior design and an addition at 849 Worton Park.
