Minutes of a Meeting of the North Olmsted Parks and Recreation Commission June 1, 2009 Individual Team Sports; and Ted is not worried about Enrichment. He does not know if the Rec is going to make enough in the other cost centers to overcome the deficits in Pool and Rink. Rink pulls out when the weather gets cooler, but the Pool is not bringing in the numbers, even going back a year. Mr. Dailey said we’ve been marking them consistently, as we have in the past through the schools, so the kids are watching. We’re waiting to see what happens towards the end of June before buying a leaf vacuum or scrubber. Mr. DiSalvo said that, more than the leaf vacuum or scrubber, is getting the basins fixed. Mr. Dailey agreed. Mr. Scarl had one more question: what effect has there been with the Sunday closure of the Pool? Mr. DiSalvo said that there was some disappointment, but once it’s explained to people, he hasn’t had any contact or direct conversation with anyone. Mr. Dailey said that the rumblings are from the lap swimmers coming seven days a week. Again, these are things we review every year. If they work, they work; if not, we come back and take another look at it. It’s the entire building – indoor and outdoor. Mr. DiSalvo said that everything he did last year with projections is totally out the window because they can’t be matched up. Mr. Baxter asked if the summer program was sold out. Mr. DiSalvo said yes, and they had to cut back quite a bit. Last year there were 222 campers; this year there are 150, but that’s because we had to cut payroll expense: remember, they don’t wash. Even though we make all that money, these are two separate accounts: staff and campers. New Wood Fiber th The new wood fiber was installed at North Olmsted Park playground on May 29. It went from rock- solid to a nice 10” depth. It’s beautiful; it’s not mulch; it’s wood fiber. Next time you’re at North Olmsted Park, take a look. We probably won’t need it for another three years. Mr. Dailey said wood fiber makes it ADA compliant as well. Summer Camp th Summer Camp begins on June 8. Outdoor Pool th Our outdoor pool will open on the 15 of June. Barton-Bradley Playground Equipment Right now we’re in the process of collecting the quotes on the Barton-Bradley Playground Equipment. Mr. DiSalvo is waiting for one more bid to hand to John Dailey. Cleveland Hockey Supply Cleveland Hockey Supply is paid off; we collected $17,000. Page 9
