Minutes of a Meeting of the <br />North Olmsted Parks and Recreation Commission <br />November 7, 2005 <br /> <br /> <br />OLD BUSINESS <br /> <br />HVAC Units <br /> <br />Ms. Powell said that, on behalf of herself and Cheryl Steele and really all the tennis players at the Rec <br />Center that they say, “Thank you, thank you, thank you” for the heating and ventilation system over <br />the tennis courts. It’s almost like a miracle, but some people made it happen. She thanked Ted <br />(DiSalvo) for defining it in his budget with Duane Limpert. Ms. Powell also thanked the Rec <br />Commission, which supported the priorities and the expenditure of the capital improvement fund. City <br />Council is also to be thanked for granting the funds, so it really was a cooperative effort. For tennis, <br />this is a very, very big deal. <br /> <br />NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Lasko said that he knows he is only stating the obvious, but there is an Issue on the ballot <br />tomorrow, 169, which will have a significant impact on the park and recreational opportunities for the <br />residents of North Olmsted. Clearly, the schools here are bringing the issue forward because there are <br />concerns that the schools have in terms of their own facilities for the delivery of educational services. <br />That’s a big part of it, but there is also a significant component in this issue that will directly impact on <br />the recreational abilities and facilities for all residents of North Olmsted. We’ve got a great working <br />relationship and one that will only continue to get better between the city and the schools in many <br />respects, including athletic and recreational facilities and the passage of that issue tomorrow will <br />continue to enhance where life is for North Olmsted residents, so I have to state the obvious and ask <br />for a vote for Issue 169 tomorrow. <br /> <br />(Positive, overlapping conversation about the high school football team’s success in 2005). <br /> <br />Background Checks <br /> <br />Ms. Meredith asked if there were background checks instituted. Mr. DiSalvo said that we will do it <br />with any contractors. Mr. Limpert said by policy it will be done with the employees and the <br />volunteers. <br /> <br />Outdoor Concession Stand for the Pool <br /> <br />Ms. Meredith asked if there was an outdoor concession stand for the pool, citing the success at Rocky <br />River. Mr. DiSalvo said that soft drinks and packaged food is served outdoors. Food must be served <br />at the indoor concession stand. The busier the Rec is, the busier the concession stand will be. Mr. <br />Kelley said that what must be realized is the times that the pools were closed and the resultant loss of <br />business. <br />Page 7 <br /> <br />
