Minutes of a Meeting of <br />The North Olmsted Parks and Recreation Commission <br />November 8, 2004 <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Jesse pointed out that there could be someone at the Rec Center to tell a patron that a pair of <br />skates could be received the next day through looking at samples that are actually coming from <br />the main store. <br /> <br />Mr. Baxter wondered if it would be worth the expense to tie up an employee to do this job. Mr. <br />Jesse said it could be a person during key times. These are the details that need to be worked out <br />but, again, he is strongly in favor of keeping the services as long as possible without a financial <br />burden. <br /> <br />Mr. DiSalvo said there there have been many complaints from patrons who come to the Rec <br />Center to get their skates sharpened. Ms. Drenski said that the patrons go where they will get the <br />best selection and service. Mr. DiSalvo and Ms. Drenski said that the skates are being sharpened, <br />but nothing is being bought at the pro shop. With the way hockey teams travel, the superstores <br />are available to them. Mr. Jesse said that a retired person could come in to sharpen the skates <br />two or three nights a week or whenever is convenient. Ms. Drenski said that would be great, but <br />the budget would not allow it. Mr. Jesse cited an example of a person he knew who sharpened <br />scissors for barbershops in a multi-state area for a nominal fee. If the Rec Center can get into a <br />similar situation, being the best place to have the skates sharpened, the price would not be a <br />problem. Ms. Jones and the Commissioners agreed. (Further conversation among the members <br />re skate sharpening). Mr. Jesse said that he knows the complex is a business for rent in the <br />business of skating, and strongly felt the Rec should provide that service. (Short, overlapping <br />conversation among the members). <br /> <br /> <br />MOTION TO ADJOURN <br /> <br />After motion made by Ms Jones, duly seconded by Mr. Jesse, all were in favor, and the <br />Meeting adjourned at 8:17 p.m. <br /> <br /> Accepted and Approved: <br /> <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br />Norman Baxter, Acting Chairman <br /> <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> Judith A.
