Minutes of a Meeting of the North Olmsted Parks and Recreation Commission June 1, 2009 This concluded the report of the Recreation Commissioner. REPORT OF THE COMMUNITY LIFE SERVICES DIRECTOR Mr. Groden asked Mr. Dailey if he had anything to report. Mr. Dailey said that everything he wanted to talk about has been covered. Mr. Dailey then said that the only other thing he has to report is about the Fourth of July Parade has been changed this year because the NOSO Cup falls on the same weekend as the Fourth of July Parade (a once every nine-year event), the Administration is doing everything this year on the City Hall campus. We will be changing the parade route. It will be the same distance; just around the block – up Dover Center to Butternut; Butternut to Lorain; Lorain back into City Hall by the Police Station and Old Town Hall. We’ll have all the festivities in front of Old Town Hall. City Hall will be opened for bathroom accessibility and is ADA compliant. OLD BUSINESS Mr. Baxter asked if anything had been done about improving the safety on the road that runs through the park. He wondered if anything had been done about that: posting new signs or putting speed bumps. His view was that there are a lot of small children running through there constantly, and people aren’t paying a lot of attention. Speed bumps, in Mr. Baxter’s mind, would be the best solution. Mr. Groden agreed with Mr. Baxter. Mr. Groden continued, saying that he just came from there this evening – his daughter had a softball game on that field next to that drive – and, especially in the summer, there are children there all the time. He sees traffic on that road going too fast. Mr. Dailey said he’d talk with Engineering. Mr. DiSalvo said that he thought he remembered something about plowing with speed bumps was a problem. Mr. Scarl said there’s asphalt that could be used for a couple of speed bumps. Mr. Baxter said it would wake everyone up. Mr. Dailey said he would review it with the Engineering Department tomorrow. NEW BUSINESS ADJOURNMENT OF MEETING After Motion made by Mr. Dailey, seconded by Mr. Scarl, and unanimously approved, the meeting adjourned at 8:20 p.m. The next scheduled meeting of the North Olmsted Parks and Recreation Commission is scheduled for August 3, 2009.
