<br /> <br />REPORT OF RECREATION COMMISSIONER <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />REPORT OF SAFETY DIRECTOR <br /> <br />Mr. Jesse noted four areas for observation by the <br />Recreation Commission: <br /> <br />1) The 2003 Recreation Budget was discussed with Barb <br />Bittner and Beth Bunevich. There will be a potential <br />$300,000+ loss in 2003 with no carryover of cash and no <br />subsidiary anticipated from the General Fund. This is the <br />largest concern to the Administration, if operating costs <br />remain flat. One quick remedy would be a 25% increase <br />in fees for all activities. A longer-term remedy would be <br />a smaller increase after an audit and review of all <br />activities. Members of the Commission stated that many <br />surrounding communities draw residents to their new <br />recreation facilities. Would it be out of line for North <br />Olmsted to charge more and still be competitive? <br /> <br />2) Tom Stein prepared a very comprehensive budget for <br />2003 operating costs and defined his basis for the 2003 <br />budget, in the near term and over a five-year period. <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />
