<br /> <br />Commission Meeting <br />February 11, 1998 <br />Page Five <br /> <br />Olmsted resident. The review committee for this evaluation of RFP submittals was comprised <br />of Mr. Dolansky, Joni Szucs, N.O.H.C. member, and Larry Szuhay, W.S.F.S.C. member. <br /> <br />Mr. Dolansky stated that he had received a letter from Ellen Harrison, President of the <br />Westshore Figure Skating Club, requesting a credit of $12.00 per hour in their ice rink rental <br />fees retroactive to November of 1997 because of the extremely cold conditions in the ice rink. <br />Mr. Dolansky explained that the $10,000 repair cost for the heating unit is almost one-third the <br />cost of a new unit around $30,000. The Ice Rink definitely needs some necessary renovations <br />and the patrons are getting upset because things are not getting done. Expectations were <br />such that when the levy passed everyone thought that renovation would be done immediately. <br />Investigation into an energy savings program is currently being performed by Mr. Dolansky and <br />Mr. Deichmann, City Engineer, to develop an RFP for ice rink renovations via that program. <br />The Commission Members recommended that the W.S.F.S.C. should be invited to the next <br />meeting to discuss their concerns and increase their knowledge of the financial and logistical <br />issues to be faced with this renovation. <br /> <br />Mr. Dolansky stated that Ordinance No. 97-125 was introduced to City Council to purchase <br />nine acres of property located on the north side of Bradley Road so it may be used by the City <br />for recreational purposes. The asking price for the property is $360,000. There was some <br />discussion regarding the purchase of the property and the badly needed Ice Rink renovations <br />which are also needed. It was agreed that not enough financial information was available <br />regarding the City’s ability to take out notes which could be converted to bonded debt after the <br />Recreation Center debt service expires in 2000. These issues will be addressed at the next <br />Commission meeting when more data is available. <br /> <br />There being no further business, a motion was made, seconded and passed unanimously to <br />adjourn the meeting at 9:30 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />______________________________ ____________________________ <br />Claire Hayes, Chairman Patricia Scott, Secretary <br /> <br /> 5 <br />
