NOSO Cup Tournament – 119 teams involved; big success; many compliments on maintenance staff performance; parking was an issue – only complaint ? Fourth of July Bike Parade – 194 bicycles registered; up 27 from last year; it did rain on the parade; much of the crowd dissipated due to the weather after the parade, therefore not many attended the picnic afterwards ? Ice rink is up and running with Learn to Skate Camp, Precision Skate Camp, Hockey Camp, Public Skates and Morning Figure Skating Sessions ? Three big summer programs going strong: Central Playground, Summer Softball, and Learn to Swim Mr. Miller inquired how the income from the public skates through Jeff Marshall is being handled. Mr. Morgan responded that Mr. Marshall pays for the skate guards, skate rental attendants, and the disc jockey. NORC provides the ticket booth staffing. The revenue is split 80/20, with 80% to Jeff Marshall, Inc. and 20% to NORC. The NORC takes 100% of skate rental. The skates were held on Sundays 7:00 to 9:00pm with a different theme every week. Mr. Miller asked if the ice could b rented from Mr. Marshall during his down time? Mr. Morgan said “yes”, and it has been done recently. Mr. Morgan referred then to a letter from Mr. Skarl, president of the Hot Stove organization, requesting relief from the field permit fees ($5.00 permit fee and $7.00 preparation fee). The permit fee is typically waived by the Recreation Commission each summer. This year, Mr. Skarl is asking for consideration of relief of the preparation fee in lieu of dirt contributed for the fields nd by Hot Stove. Mrs. Hayes made a motion to waive both fees. Mr. Miller 2 the motion, with the recommendation that any accounting changes be made in the beginning of the season for the future seasons. All in favor. Motion passed.
