Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, July 24, 2017 <br />Page 5 <br />Mr. McAvinew replied, i£you look at the survey it will show you that if they don't use it, there is <br />a column there. It shows a percentage. Mr. Marquardt asked, what about those who don't use any of the current recreation facilities?. <br />You are not dealing with anyone who doesn't use the facilities. <br />Mr. McAvinew replied, I tried to get it out to as many people as I could. The quickest was to get <br />it out was that way. <br />Mr. Marquardt stated, that's kind of a bias survey. <br />Mr. McAvinew stated, if you look at the survey, you can see that there is a percentage. Some are <br />not using tennis courts, some are not using bocce ball courts. They just participate in recreation <br />within the Village. That could be anywhere fr om the swim lessons over to a Senior Center <br />prograin. It was diverse. <br />Mr. Marquardt stated, 1500 residents? <br />Mr. McAvinew stated, 1500 e-mails. Some of them are not all residents. I can categorize those <br />and break down the percentages and send it. I can break it down by zip code and where they <br />came from by the responses. <br />Mayor Bodnar stated, I just wanted to point out that the purpose of this survey that Sliane <br />conducted was after we had gotten the $91,000 grant for the two tennis courts. It was not to see, <br />do people want tennis courts or do they not want tennis courts? What we thought about doing <br />was striping all the tennis courts for pickleball. ODNR came back and said, that may violate the <br />terms of the grant. We may take tfie grant away if you do that. They asked us for a survey. <br />That's why Shane did that. It was for that purpose, is that right Shane? <br />Mr. McAvinew replied, that is correct. <br />Mayor Bodnar stated, it wasn't in general, the thought of this Intergenerational Park and its <br />expansion has gone back years and years. Last year we put it off when we heard about the <br />ODNR grant and the chance to get this $91,000 so that wasn't the purpose for Shane's survey. It <br />was to see what the uses for pickleball and tennis are so we can get it back to ODNR and they <br />could determine whether we would still be covered if we started the plans for pickleball also. <br />Mr. Marquardt stated, the survey sounds as if it was structured so it is biased. <br />Mayor Bodnar stated, for people who use it for pickleball or tennis, but that was ODNR's <br />question to us. <br />Mr. Marquardt stated, I know; but it's only less than half the people in the Village you are <br />talking about.
