<br /> <br />? <br /> <br />Two new basketball courts/New location <br />? <br /> <br />Mr. Hoyer expressed concern that the tennis courts as proposed in the new plan are too close <br />to Diamond #5. His feeling is that foul balls will be an issue. <br />? <br /> <br />Mr. Hoyer suggested to place the horseshoe pits by the auxiliary parking lot at the north end <br />of the park and tennis courts. <br />? <br /> <br />Mr. Miller suggested it may be a good idea to consider placing new tennis courts behind Rec <br />Center <br />? <br /> <br />Mr. Jenkins suggested to scale back to a couple tennis courts, put in new basketball courts <br />and replace some parking. Also, move tennis to north end and keep parking and horseshoe <br />pits as is –or- put courts at the Rec Center -or- put 2 at park and 1-2 behind Rec Center <br />? <br /> <br />Mr. Stein will be meeting with Ralph Bohlman and Chagrin Valley Engineers to review the <br />plan and make revisions. <br />? <br /> <br />Mr. Travis Tipton, who is a civil engineer, shared a few suggestions and insights. <br />? <br /> <br />Mr. Gardner suggested that all review the plan and bring their suggestions to the next <br />meeting. <br /> <br />This concludes Mr. Morgan’s report. <br /> <br />REPORT BY MR. TOM JENKINS, SAFETY DIRECTOR <br />None. <br /> <br />SUB-COMMITTEE REPORT <br />None. <br /> <br />OLD BUSINESS / NEW BUSINESS <br />Mr. Miller inquired as to whether the verbage on the sign as been determined. He suggested that <br />the word “Parks” be eliminated, as it would suggest to those coming from outside of the <br />community that the park is here as well. Mr. Miller feels it would be better to just say “North <br />Olmsted Recreation Center (Complex)”. Mr. Hoyer also suggested that the logo be omitted to <br />allow for more space for the electronic display and maximize the use for information. <br /> <br />Mr. Miller inquired if it has been determined to utilize the funds for the dump truck to purchase <br />road the sign. Mr. Jenkins answered by saying, ‘we have just gone over the budget and will <br />probably need to suck up the funds for the dump truck to purchase the sign.’ Mr. Morgan stated <br />that Mr. Ralph Bohlman from the service department has agreed to loan us use of a dump truck <br />for 6 months. Mr. Miller asked if size-wise this truck will be adequate to do the job Mr. Stein <br />requires. Mr. Morgan replied by saying that he would need to ask Mr. Stein, but it is his feeling <br />that it will be adequate to do the job. Mr. Miller stated that council was sold on the idea of <br />funding a dump truck, that it was a high priority. He is concerned about the dump truck being <br />nixed now in lieu of the road sign. Mr. Jenkins stated that the road sign has become priority, <br />since it is vital to the Recreation Center’s visibility and visitation. The dump truck was sought to <br />allow Mr. Stein to have three crews out on the fields rather than two. The dump truck is not truly <br />a necessity at this time, when you consider the road sign. Mr. Miller again stated his concern that <br />if we put off funding the dump truck this year, next year another emergency may come up and <br />once again the dump truck, which he felt we needed now, will be dumped again.
