•t i6 <br />with the schools now. However, the grant money that is given to the school must be used for <br />either students or the teachers. Mrs. Kilbane voiced that she hope that the board would over <br />lap with the schools so they could all work closely together. Mr. Raig agreed that he would <br />like the board to work with the schools. Mr. Garland suggested that there is going to be a <br />new library, there has been talk of a new senior center and new middle school as well as a <br />Cultural Arts building. Mfrs. Kilbane questioned if it was possible for more than two <br />communities to work together. There was discussion about working with other communities. <br />Mr. Raig believed that each City Council would need to approve what ever work the boards <br />wanted done. Mrs. Martindale indicated that the Parks and Recreation Director from <br />Olmsted falls invited her group to perForm their plays in Olmsted Falls. She suggested <br />partnering with Olmsted Falls, which has an auditorium. There was discussion about <br />renovating the auditorium at the iniddle school as well as discussion regarding a new <br />auditorium. Mr. Garland suggested that the board could possibly try to get grant money for <br />the middle school to renovate the auditorium. Mr. Raig again voiced his opinion regarding <br />working closely with the North Olmsted schools. <br />Mr. Raig would like to have each board member write up what they would like to see the <br />board accomplish for the next meeting. He indicated that he would meet with the clerk and <br />the Mayor to find out what it would take to enlarge the board and stagger board member <br />terms. Mrs. Beach suggested doing some kind of fund raising event for the board to see what <br />the community would like. Mrs. Kilbane suggested using Springvale Country Club to have a <br />cultural arts event. The clerk suggested that she would get a flyer from Springvale so the <br />board members could see how many people could be seated. Mr. Garland indicated that he <br />agreed that it would be a good way to find out how the community feels about a cultural arts <br />community. Mrs. Martindale indicated that in the last census only three residents indicated <br />that an art center was needed. <br />Mr. Raig indicated that he would like to steer the board back to the number of inembers and <br />staggering the terms. A discussion between board members as to how many members and <br />how long the terms should last took place. Mr. Raig felt having a maximum of 11 members <br />would be good any bigger would be crowding. To have a two-year term would be good with <br />the ability to be reappointed. <br />Mr. Raig motioned to have council increase the size of board members to 11 and to make the <br />terms run from 1 to 2 years. Said terms are to be staggered so that 5 members terms end one <br />year and 6 tnembers the next year. The motion was seconded by T. Garland anci <br />unanimously approved. Mrs. App suggested inviting people to join the board that could help <br />the board grow. <br />N. OLD BUSINESS: <br />Mr. Garland suggested sending out a press release regarding the boards meetings. Mrs. <br />Beach felt that the board might want to get their feet on the around first. Mr. Raig instructed <br />the clerk to include blue prints of the library in the next meeting packets. Mrs. Martindale <br />suggested getting a layout of the senior center as well. Mr. Raig suggested having Mrs. <br />Reggie King address the board some time in the future. <br />V. COMMUNICATIONS: <br />3
