Regular Council Meeting Minutes <br />12-20-10 <br />Page 7 <br />winning team will receive trophies as well as a certificate and everyone else will receive <br />certificates. Coming up in January will be the first session of floor hockey for grades 8 through <br />12 and also for grades 3, 4 and 5. I reported on the MBA program. We have 215 boys <br />participating this winter. The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, February 3rd. They will not <br />meet in January. That will be their organizational meeting. <br />Ordinance Review Committee - Mr. Saponaro reported that Ordinance Review met on <br />Tuesday, December 14t . In addition to approving the meeting Minutes from November 9th, <br />there was a discussion regarding the Beautification Committee Ordinance, Chapter 907, <br />Ordinance 2005-56. There was a motion made to remove that Ordinance from the Code book <br />with the caveat that guidelines must be established and updated every year so that we have <br />continuity for the Committee. It was recommended by Ordinance Review to go along with the <br />Beautification Committee's recommendation. That will go to Council. We also discussed the <br />zoning standards for wind turbines. That is a continuing discussion. We also discussed Section <br />1157.06, accessory uses. That is ongoing as well. <br />Planning and Zoning - T'here was no meeting. There is no report. <br />Recreation Board - Mr. Marrie reported that the Recreation Board met on November 17th and <br />discussed some of the parties that we had for the children. The Halloween party was a really <br />huge success. There were a tremendous amount of children, 50 or 60, not counting all the little <br />babies that were there a1so. It was a big crowd. The MBA Youth Basketball is doing very well. <br />The 3rd and 4b grade boys have six teams, 5t' and 6t' have eight teams, 7th and 8th grade boys <br />have six teams. The girls' leagues unfortunately are siruggling with enrollment, so the 5?' graders <br />are going to play with the 6t' and 86 graders. There was just not enough for 4th graders. We have <br />approximately 215 in the league so there are a lot of children taking advantage of it. The Men's <br />Over 18 league has eight teams and is very successful. As Bill said, the Santa Claus ride was <br />more than successful and also very late, so by the time Santa Claus got here the kids were <br />halfway up the wall. It was probably without a doubt the biggest crowd we have ever had for a <br />Christmas party. It was extremely well attended. I would like to thank the Recreation Board <br />members for running the event and keeping everything under control. It was a good day for the <br />kids. We talked about fundraising ideas for a future building at the softball field. That would be <br />for restrooms and maybe a concession and a small pavilion is a possibility at the field. We also <br />. talked about ideas of possibly some fundraising for future facilities at the ballfield area which <br />would include tennis, volleyball and bocce, but that wouldn't be probably unti12013 but we are <br />kicking it around now on how to possibly raise some funds to be able to support that. Last but <br />not least, one of the projects that we will have to do this year is the resurfacing of the locker <br />rooms at the poo1. They need some attention and we need to do that this year. <br />SPECIAL COMMITTEE REPORTS: <br />Information & Technology - There was no meeting, however, Council President Buckholtz <br />wanted to announce that we received an award from the Web Marketing Association. Good job.
