Minutes of a Meeting of <br />The North Olmsted Parks and Recreation Commission <br />June 4, 2007 <br /> <br />and then they are there until dark. The horse shoe people have problems with them there. There are a <br />bunch of groups there that are trash talking with vulgar language, and there are many little kids around <br />there. <br /> <br />Mr. Garrity asked if the backboards can be removed behind the hoops without the poles being <br />removed, or is it all one piece. Mr. DiSalvo said that they are attached like that. Mr. kGarrity said <br />that, perhaps, the Rec Department could take the poles down for a few weeks, saying they are in for <br />repairs, and see what happens. Mr. DiSalvo said that there is also the fact that the Rec Department <br />has summer basketball leagues. <br /> <br />Mr. Lasko repeated that it’s an enforcement issue, and now that the police have tried the overt <br />enforcement, perhaps it’s time to try the covert enforcement. <br /> <br />Mr. Baxter said that it’s a shame to do away with something like the basketball courts that belong in <br />the Park. <br /> <br />Mr. DiSalvo said that the Rec Department will work on the above issue. <br /> <br />Outdoor Pool <br /> <br />Mr. DiSalvo reported that most of the capital outlay went to the outdoor pool this summer. The Rec <br />Department bought an 18’ by 27’ shading structure that will be installed this week. Planter benches <br />have been installed. Pool chairs and chaises have been purchased and delivered, and there are two <br />new lifeguard chairs. There was $13,000 for cap improvements, and it went to the outdoor pool, <br />because the Rec had none of the above the last five years. Hopefully the shading structure will be <br />beneficial to our patrons. <br /> <br />Summer Program Projects <br /> <br />Mr. DiSalvo said that the Maintenance Department has done a wonderful job in keeping on schedule <br />with summer projects in addition to maintaining normal operations and duties. <br /> <br />Mr. Lasko said that, just driving in tonight, he was very pleased seeing a brand new American Flag on <br />top of the flagpole. Last month, it wasn’t displayed correctly; it wasn’t a new flag – it was a flag that <br />clearly should have been retired – and whatever it was that the Maintenance Department needed to do, <br />it was done. Mr. DiSalvo thanked Mr. Lasko and said he would pass it on. The entire guts of it were <br />replaced, and the pole was repainted. <br /> <br />All Scouts Weekend <br /> <br />th <br />All Scouts Weekend begins this Friday, June 8, and ends on Sunday, June 10, 2007 at Noon. The <br />High School has removed the temporary fence on Diamond #1. Mr. Lasko said that, as an aside, he <br />spoke with Joe Hyland, Director of Facilities, North Olmsted City Schools, inquiring on Norm’s <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />
