Minutes of a Meeting of the <br />North Olmsted Parks and Recreation Commission <br />December 5, 2005 <br /> <br /> <br />with that request will be $14,000 in playground equipment for the two to five-year olds. The grant <br />has already been submitted; however, the Rec Department will be responsible to budget the $14,000 in <br />capital improvements to North Olmsted consistent with the CDBG grant proposal. The City will find <br />out in early 2006 whether it gets the grant from the County. If so, these funds are the City’s matching <br />contribution. If the City is not awarded the grant, the Rec Department will appropriate these funds for <br />new play equipment. Either way, the playground equipment will be budgeted. <br /> <br />Mr. Baxter asked if this plan would be a match - $14,000 from the City and $14,000 from the County. <br />Mr. DiSalvo replied that the grant would be $140,000; the City would match ten percent. At the <br />minimum, there will be playground equipment; at the maximum, there will be improved restrooms. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelley asked if the funding was not received, would there be any way to renovate the restrooms? <br />The Commissioner responded that the restrooms would always be an ongoing project until the <br />restrooms are completely replaced or renovated. <br /> <br />Ms. Jones asked when the work would take place. Mr. DiSalvo said that it would be about June. Ms. <br />Jones noted this would be in time for Homecoming. <br /> <br />Recreation Master Plan <br /> <br />Mr. DiSalvo said that the contract is pending with Kerr & Boron, the lead landscaping architect and <br />RCU Architects for the Rec Master Plan. The following is what is entailed in the Rec Master Plan: <br /> <br /> <br />A.Existing Conditions Analysis <br /> <br />The Recreation Plan should address the following City parks and facilities: <br />? <br /> <br />Recreation Center <br />? <br /> <br />North Olmsted Park <br />? <br /> <br />Clague Park <br />? <br /> <br />Barton/Bradley Fields <br /> <br />It is expected that the majority of the emphasis for this project will be placed on the <br />Recreation Center (75%), with less emphasis on the remaining three major park areas <br />(25%). <br /> <br /> <br />1.Inventory of existing facilities. The Consulttant shall study existing conditions of park and <br />recreation facilities. <br /> <br />2.Research and Analysis.
