Minutes of a Meeting of the <br />North Olmsted Parks and Recreation Commission <br />March 3, 2008 <br /> <br /> <br />John (Dailey) asked Mr. DiSalvo to check with the Safety Department, who issues snow ban warnings <br />only, in effect with as little as two inches of snow. They never issue traveler warnings or advisories. <br />It’s just common sense. Mr. Dailey said that initially the City was trying to be consistent with the <br />Senior Center: they are closed when the schools are closed. In execution, it doesn’t work out quite as <br />well as we thought it could. <br /> <br />Mr. DiSalvo asked if there were any questions on the proposed Complex Closing/Event Cancellation <br />Policy. <br /> <br />Mr. Groden looked for a Motion from the floor. Mr. Mahoney made a Motion to adopt the North <br />Olmsted Rec Department Complex Closing and Program Event Cancellation Policy on behalf of the <br />Rec Commission. Upon second, all were in favor, and the Motion passed unanimously. <br /> <br />This concluded the Report of the Recreation Commissioner. <br /> <br />REPORT OF THE COMMUNITY LIFE SERVICES DIRECTOR <br /> <br />Ball Field Renovations <br /> <br />Mr. Dailey reported that the ball field renovations were approved by City Council. We are going to <br />waive the fees again for the permits and the prep fees in exchange for the bulk of the renovation. I <br />assume Hot Stove moved forward with this. We let them know immediately, so Little Clague Park <br />will soon be up and running this year. <br /> <br />Mr. Scarl is hoping for an end of March beginning by Hot Stove, assuming the weather complies. Mr. <br />Dailey said that Mr. DiSalvo and he had email conversations regarding getting the ball fields ready for <br />the high school season: softball and fast pitch hardball. We are making sure the bleachers are ready to <br />go; a Port-a-Potty ready if need be; and make sure the fields are prepped up and ready. Sometimes <br />they sneak up on us; here we see the calendar turning March; we want to be ahead of the curve, rather <br />than behind it. We’ll be making contact with the schools to make sure we know the dates when their <br />practices start and/or games. <br /> <br />ADA Family Restrooms <br /> <br />In addition, Mr. Dailey said, we will have the ADA family restrooms open and ready to go. This way, <br />if there are games which will be cold in early spring, there will be a place for people with kids to go <br />where it’s warm and not just using a Port-a-Potty. <br /> <br />Rec Committee <br /> <br />As indicated, the Recreation Committee approved last week accepting donations for the skate board <br />ramps; it will be on second reading tomorrow night as Mr. Mahoney indicated. Mr. Mahoney said he <br />will make a Motion to Suspend anyway to get things going a little faster; there’s no reason not to. He <br />Page 6 <br /> <br />
