Minutes of a Meeting of The North Olmsted Parks and Recreation Commission March 6, 2006 Page Two Secretary, began the new format for each supervisor’s department notation. Mr. DiSalvo said that, when the budget is finally approved, the Rec will have prior year and year-to-date numbers but, for the time being, this report will suffice until the budget is approved. Mr. Baxter was directed to the Miscellaneous Account for the game machine revenue. He noted that this was a small part of the picture but asked if the revenue was up from the previous year. Mr. DiSalvo replied that he couldn’t answer that at the present time because he needs to see what was done a year ago; his guess is that, based on the Friday Nite Skates, the figure must be up from a year ago. Ms. Drenski said that yes, the figures are up; she did not know that it’s a large increase but that the increase is there. Mr. Baxter said that if there is not a prior year or budget to compare it to, the Rec Department could be doing very well or fairly or poorly. Mr. DiSalvo said the projected figures were good. Ms. Jones asked how many machines comprised the Coke vending revenue. Mr. DiSalvo said that comprised four in the building and the parks in the summer. Ms. Kanis asked the difference between st the Coke Commissions and the Coke Vending Revenue. Mr. DiSalvo replied that the 1 of the year brings in the Coke Commissions according to its contract with the City. Throughout the rest of the year, on line 43810, that will remain zero. The Coke Vending Revenue is the amount that is taken in per month; Ms. Jones noted the amount between January and February was significantly different (over $3,000 compared to just over $900). Mr. DiSalvo replied that January was the month for the hockey tournament. Snack Vending Revenue was then compared ($629.03 in January v. zero in February). Mr. DiSalvo said that, in addition to DJ Skates, there were two or three other major events throughout the weeks. Ms. Drenski noted that, in Snack Vending Revenue for February, the check was just received and did not have time to be included in the February report yet. Ms. Jones asked about the Facility Rentals; what did that mean? Mr. Kelley asked if that was the Pro Shop. Mr. DiSalvo and Ms. Drenski both replied affirmatively. Ms. Jones then asked Mr. Garrity how that would be working out for hockey; Mr. Garrity said it would definitely be an asset as regards the Skate Shop as well as the Pro Shop. Ms. Jones asked if the hockey hours are better; Mr. Garrity and Ms. Drenski both said that hockey is very conscious of their hours and checking in to see what is going on for the weekends. They will not be open at random times when there is nothing going on at the Rec Center. Mr. DiSalvo said that on the Enrichment Account (in the lower right hand corner of the report), the numbers will increase drastically beginning in May; typically, during the nicer weather and schools are out the Enrichment Programs take off.
