Minutes of a Meeting of the North Olmsted Parks and Recreation Commission November 7, 2005 price for residents. The daily admission for non-residents is fine. When the Rec Center is open for open swim, the ratio of payroll to total revenue is not at an acceptable operational percentage. As an example, under January ’05, on the first Sunday, $96.50 was income for the day and open for five hours, so the hourly basis was $19.30. On an average, since that was the indoor pool, there were a minimum of three guards at a minimum of $7.00 an hour. That means $21.00 an hour in wages. Over a year’s time the Rec Center could probably cut back on staff. When there are lessons or classes, they offset payroll expenditures; however, during open swim times the Rec is losing money. This is something that the Commissioner wished to bring to the Rec Commission and Safety Director’s attention. There being no questions from the Commission or Safety Director, the Commissioner continued by saying that January through April on the graph is strictly in-door pool. (This Report is paper-clipped to the Minutes as a separate document). On the second page, May was strictly indoor pool; however, thth on all those days closed from May 14 through the 25 was when the pool was inspected. Twelve days of income was lost in May because of the inspection. During June and July the shaded dates thth indicate when the work was done on the outdoor pool. The 9 through the 26 of June the gutter was thth replaced and the 6 through 20 of July the piping was replaced. That was prime summertime for the pool, so revenue was severely restricted. Although it’s shaded for June and July and the outdoor pool was closed, the indoor pool was still operational, but we had to cut back on the hours. Our hours open compared to income per hour is something to be counted. On the very last page of the Report, moving in September, the indoor pool was closed for seasonal maintenance not for any repair, that th time being August 22nd to September 11. While the indoor pool was closed, the outdoor pool was th open, accounting for the revenue. After September 11 is strictly indoor pool season after the th outdoor pool closes. September 12 is the time the indoor season picks up again. Mr. DiSalvo said that it was an extensive Report to compile; however, he wanted to get the numbers in concise form for presentation. The reason that October was not represented in the Report was because the printer is broken; it is scheduled to be replaced imminently. The Commissioner said that at the December meeting he will be able to present October revenues. Mr. Baxter asked what it cost to use the pool. Mr. DiSalvo replied that for an adult winter monthly pass is $19.50; for a student or senior is $14.50; for a family of four is $30.00. For a summer monthly pass is $32.00 for an adult; $20.00 for a student or a senior and $67.00 for a family of four. The summer special, which is three months, is $66.00 for an adult; student or senior is $44.00 and maximum for a family is $143.00. The yearly pass for an adult is $156.00; for a student or senior is $116.00 and maximum for a family is $278.00. Mr. Baxter asked Mr. DiSalvo how he figured in the people who bought passes into the Report. Mr. DiSalvo said that it takes into account the passes that were purchased for that month as well as yearly, and adds it into the daily income. Mr. Limpert said, e.g., there would be a person who bought a $30.00 pass in a 30-day month it was a $1 worth of (daily) income. Mr. DiSalvo said that was why it took so long to compile the Report: so many monthlies or at a time three-month Page 2
