Minutes of a Meeting of <br />The North Olmsted Parks and Recreation Commission <br />August 1, 2005 <br /> <br /> <br />Based on the above report, the Commissioner did not know how feasible the kiosk would be; <br />however, that’s his report, and he will discuss it with Councilman Miller later. Mr. DiSalvo <br />believes the Rec Center is not set up to offer internet usage at the Rec Center. <br /> <br />Mr. Baxter asked if the Library had computer access (replied to in the affirmative). <br /> <br />This concluded the Report of the Recreation Commissioner. <br /> <br />REPORT OF THE SAFETY DIRECTOR <br /> <br />Message from Mayor O’Grady Regarding Department Policies <br /> <br />The City of North Olmsted’s July 4th Bike Contest and Parade administered by the Recreation <br />Department is not a “Recreation Department” event; it is a “City of North Olmsted” event. Also, <br />the Mayor wanted to make certain that it is understood that he sets policy for the Department, not <br />the other way around. Mayor O’Grady’s policy on this parade is that it has been, and will <br />continue to be, a non-political event that is for the benefit of our citizens, and especially our <br />young people. <br /> <br />Status of Recreation Plan and Consultant Interviews <br /> <br />The Safety Director reported that we are in the process of, and Mr. Di’Salvo has been in meetings <br />for working on getting a Recreation Plan, and interviews are being made of the Consultants who <br />will be taking on the tasks of which will be taking place on Wednesday, August 10, 2005.

Mr. Baxter thought this a good <br />idea. Mr. Limpert said that this Rec Center is a 30-year design, and one thing after another is <br />falling apart. This is Phase 2 of the Plan. <br /> <br />Tennis HVAC Installation Status <br /> <br />Mr. Limpert said that there is legislation being introduced to upgrade the HVAC units in the <br />tennis area. This is something discussed during the budget process, so it is something in the <br />works and is a big package needing Council approval. Mr. Limpert thought it was as close as a <br />Page 19 <br /> <br />
