Minutes of a Meeting of The North Olmsted Parks and Recreation Commission November 8, 2004 With the video security, Mr. DiSalvo continued, there will be packages that can be attached for access. Security will branch out in phases. Mr. Jesse said that technology is changing so rapidly that the City can write specs today and be obsolete tomorrow. It was felt that what is needed were proposals from providers that give the City the best set up so that North Olmsted is not locked into one thing when something else could be provided in a better way. The key is to have open access to the building. If the front door can’t be controlled, how can the entire Complex (be secured)? Front Desk Ms. Jones asked about changing the front desk. Mr. DiSalvo said that a reception desk will be built in front of the ticket booth (the booth to still be used as an office). It will be more patron- friendly to have the reception desk through which will be entrance only and then exit only where the glass doors are located, instead of two-way traffic. That alone will increase control: one way in; one way out. Election Day Ms. Drenski said that it was mass confusion on Election Day and that she encountered difficulty entering the building. The Rec Department needed a lot of entrances and exits. Ms. Kanis asked how that would fare re security. Ms. Drenski said the voting should have been in the administrative office conference room so that the voters could have easy access. Ms. Jones asked where the elections took place. The Commissioners said they were behind the booth in the pool lobby. The election booth employees set up the night before and, apparently, that is where they have always set up for voting. (General discussion among the members regarding election voter turnout.) Ms. Jones asked if the voters will be in front administrative office conference room the next voting day. The Commissioners said that would be done, making better use of the facility.
