The North Olmsted Parks and Recreation Commission <br />October 2, 2006 <br />Page Nine <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />take up about half as much room as what the current compressors do, and they would be more <br />efficient. <br /> <br />Ms. Jones thanked Mr. Sanborn for his comments and asked Mr. Garrity if he needed an answer now. <br />Mr. DiSalvo and Ms. Drenski both said, in no uncertain terms, that without the North Olmsted <br />Hockey Club there would be no Rink. <br /> <br />Mr. Barker asked where Olmsted Falls went. Mr. Garrity said it is Brooklyn. Ignatius is there, <br />Brooklyn is there, and Olmsted Falls is there. They painted the facility gold and blue: all three teams <br />use that color.

He hopes that the <br />Administration is looking at, whatever the Plan, there is a maintenance and equipment replacement <br />area so that in the budget this money gets built up over a period of time. Then there will be money to <br />replace equipment when it reaches its true age. <br /> <br />Ms. Jones said 12 years ago, she went in with a few other people and painted the hockey area orange <br />and black. Mr. Garrity commented that those were the true school colors. Then there was an <br />Page 9 <br /> <br />
