Minutes of a Meeting of the North Olmsted Parks and Recreation Commission May 5, 2008 REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMISSIONER Financial Statements Ms. Drenski reported on the April Revenue and Expense Reports. Revenue Report Ms. Drenski said that she had a “cheat sheet” from Mr. DiSalvo on the percentages of how the projection came about. The projection for each month is based on the last two years’ averaged revenue. She asked if there were any questions; she thought it was fairly in line but thought it was hard to explain; the Rink was up this month over the projected but way down last month, so it’s still fluctuating a bit. Mr. Dailey asked if she was still down about 10,000 for the year. Ms. Drenski said she was not down, just 10,000 shy of what she should be at a much higher budget. Her actual budget came in at 385,000 in 2007, but her projected is 414,000 for 2008, which is a huge swing. She’s already had some setbacks with the weather. Spring registration was moved back a month so, hopefully with the summer yet to come, that 10,000 can be decreased, but it’s a big number to move up from last year. Mr. Dailey said we want a hot summer to bring the kids indoors. Mr. Baxter asked why Tennis was down so much. Ms. Drenski did not have a direct answer for that but would ask Pat (Cunningham) and let the Commission know. Ms. Drenski could not explain the “n/a” projections for Gymnastics but would find out and let the Commission know. Mr. Groden asked Ms. Drenski if these numbers weren’t something that the Commission should have before the next meeting. Mr. Dailey said they can be sent out. Ms. Drenski noted that, for some reason, the Commissioner did not do Karrie Tipton’s figures, although he did everyone else’s, but not hers. Mr. Dailey said that, whatever the answer is, he would get it. This concluded the Revenue Report. Expense Report Ms. Drenski noted that Gymnastics was high; they are already at 50%, but Karrie (Tipton) does not have that much summer programming compared to what she has in the spring and fall. Spring Ice Show ththth The Spring Ice Show is the 16, 17 and 18 of May coming up. It’s going to be good. The kids are really working hard on it, and usually Betsy mails the tickets to the Commission with a nice letter, but this year, she just gave them tonight to the members of the Commission. Hope you can all make it. It’s really quite a production when it all comes together. Page 2
