Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, March 21, 2011 Page 8 Ordinance Review Committee - There.was no meeting. There is no report. Planning and Zoning -There is no report. Recreation Board - Mr. Marrie reported that Recreation Board met on the 16th of this month. A couple of the items that we discussed were the Easter Egg Hunt and the Easter Party for the children which will be held on April 16t' from 1:30-3:00. We could certainly use some volunteers to help the Rec Board with that because there are an awful lot of little ones running around. We are going to hold it in the Community Room instead of here due to safety reasons because of the parking lot in this location. We also discussed and went into detail with the Debbie Hudacko Scholarship. Fifteen children applied for the Scholarship. Three members of the Rec Board will interview the 15 children and decide on the winners on Apri127th. The other item we discussed and you have heard a little bit about tonight was the trailer for the soccer fields. First and foremost, unanimously the Board is totally behind this. The Board feels as well as myself that this is something that we could use. It's kind of recycling something we have. It's the old police trailers that are no longer in use and will not be used. There is a possibility a sale does not bring that much because they are approximately 14 years old. The idea of using them down there was a very good one. We are fully behind it. As the ladies said, it's not the nicest thing in the world for women to have to use the port-a-potties. Some of them will not even use them, period. We don't want the police department in the woods all the time, so I think it's a very great idea. Plus, we have a great facility there. It's recognized as one of the best fields in the whole County and maybe multiple counties, but we don't have anything else there and it's kind of a shame to have a facility like that without it. It's kind of stripping it of£ I think we are very strong in our beliefs that this will add a lot to it. Again, it's a bit of recycling. It's not like we are trying to build new facilities. I agree with what was said earlier that the fact is that we do have to watch what we spend. It's not a wish list. As far I am concerned and as far as the Boaxd is concerned and a lot of other people, this would be a necessity. It's probably been necessary for a long time, but we have never had the time or the opportunity to use something that we had. To build it would be extremely expensive and it probably wouldn't be done at that point. We also talked about some things at the pool concession stand that we are going to change and try to improve for the families for this suminer at the pool. Our next meeting is Apri120th.
