Commission Meeting <br />March 8, 1999 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Morgan stated that when looking at the revenue statements for February, the ice arena is <br />down $ 40,000. This is mainly due to the lack of payments by the Hockey Club. They are <br />behind $ 30,000. $15,000. was received for December and will be reflected in March’s income. <br />Todd also stated that numerous calls were made to the Treasurer, President and board members <br />regarding this overdue money. Suggestions were made to have the Hockey Club come to the <br />next Commission Meeting to further discuss this matter. Mr. Morgan also stated Hockey North <br />America still owes $5,000 for which we expect payment this month. Public Skates are down due <br />to a warm winter. Also this is not an Olympic year and the compressors are down causing cold <br />temperatures in the rink area. <br /> <br />The Pool’s revenue is down because Westlake’s new facility opened and their swim team no <br />longer leases our pool. This is a loss of $7,100 annually. <br /> <br /> <br />Report by Safety Director: <br />Mr. Jenkins stated we need to attend more of the finance committee meetings. Mr. Smith <br />suggested that at least one rec commission member attend the finance committee meetings to <br />express their concern regarding the conditions of the recreation facility and the importance of <br />upgrading the facility. <br /> <br />Mr. Jenkins also thanked the Commission Members for attending the Saturday meeting and <br />other additional meetings. <br /> <br />Sub-Committee Report: <br /> <br />None <br /> <br /> <br />Old Business: <br />The status of the Skateboard Park was discussed. Rae Ann Thomas is still actively working on <br />fundraising for this project. She has raised about $7,100 in funds. <br /> <br />New Business: <br /> <br />Mr. Jenkins stated the importance of improving our facility. There was some discussion <br />regarding the problems we are having in our facility and how to raise revenue. He stated that we <br />need to look at how other communities are able to improve their facilities. We need to create a <br />spreadsheet and make comparisons in great detail. This will help us look at improvements in our <br />city facilities. <br /> <br /> <br />There being no further business, a motion was made, seconded and passed unanimously to <br />adjourn the meeting at 9:00 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ _________________________ <br />Claire Hayes, Chairman Patricia Scott, Secretary <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
