Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting <br />March 7, 2005 <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Kelley asked if there were any other questions. There being none, the Commission moved on <br />to the Approval of the Minutes. <br /> <br />APPROVAL OF MINUTES <br /> <br />Mr. Kelley asked if the Members of the Commission read the Minutes from February 2005 and <br />asked for a Motion to approve them. Mr. Jesse moved in favor, and the Motion was seconded. <br />The Chairman asked all members in favor of the Minutes to signify by an aye. There being no <br />objection, the February 2005 Minutes were approved unanimously. <br /> <br />SUB COMMITTEE REPORTS <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMISSIONER <br /> <br />Budget <br /> <br />Mr. DiSalvo began his report with the 2005 Budget for the Recreation Center. A copy is <br />attached. It has since been broken down into sub-department categories. On the top of the page <br />indicating - “CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED PARKS AND RECREATION – FUND 240 – 240 <br />designates the Parks and Rec Department. 260 designates ADMIN of the FUND 240; then <br />across the line, 261 is MISC., 262 is Tom (Stein’s) Department, BLDG MNT; 263 is POOL; 264 <br />is ICE RINK; 265 is TENNIS; 266 is GYMNASTICS; 267 is Chris’s (Wetmore) <br />(RECREATION PROGRAMS) 268 is CONCESSIONS; and 269 is PRO SHOP. These are the <br />appropriations. The Recreation Department has not been approved yet. It is set for tomorrow <br />night (March 8, 2005). These numbers represent the income and expenses for the entire <br />Department. The format it will take will be received from the Finance Department. Each <br />department will have its income offset by its expense and, at a glance, the Rec will be able to track <br />it more easily and accurately than what was done last year. <br /> <br />Mr. Baxter said that half the revenue is from property taxes. Is this something that Carrie <br />(Copfer) told Mr. DiSalvo to pick up? The Rec Center is responsible for revenue generated. The <br />Finance Department figures out the taxes. Mr. Baxter said if that were up more, instead of losing <br />$61,000 on the budget, $61,000 could be made. Mr. Miller said that the answer may be that if <br />you add $61,000 here, $61,000 would be taken from somewhere else. The revenue is somewhat <br />predictable. Mr. Baxter asked if part of the levy is earmarked for Recreation. Mr. Limpert said, <br />“yes,” and a lot of it is leveraged out as far as the roof on the ice skating rink when they made a .7 <br />mil that went from being temporary to permanent; most of that permanent is committed another <br />15 years. <br />Page 13 <br /> <br />
