OLD BUSINESS: Capital Improvement Priority List & Pier Demolition Update Ms. Leaver stated that the following capital improvement projects would need the Recreation Commission’s approval. Purchasing of lockers for the men and women’s Pool locker rooms at a cost of $11,000, renovations to the front lobby at approximately $20,000, playground equipment $15,000 and parking lot repairs at the Recreation Center pending assessment, up to $20,000. Mr. Scarl asked if there were any considerations for parking lot repairs at North Olmsted Park between diamond #4 and diamond #5. Ms. Leaver said the Mayor indicated with the money that is going to be saved with Issue 34 Charter amendment he would like to take that money every year and put it into a Capital Improvement project, parks are included. Mr. Groden asked which parks would be receiving the additional playground equipment. Mr. Disalvo replied it would go to Barton Bradley Park. Julie Nader asked what the plan was for the front lobby renovation. Ms. Leaver replied that the building department was working on some feasibility issues so they can go forward with specific plans. Mr. Baxter asked about the possibility of taking some initial steps to incorporate adult fitness into the Recreation Center. Mr. Disalvo responded that we are very limited in space however, the idea has not been dismissed. Ms. Drenski said that we would have to sacrifice something that we currently have in order to use that space for fitness. Mr. Baxter also inquired about the speed bumps for North Olmsted Park. Ms. Leaver stated they are $250.00 apiece and the Law Director said he sees no problem with installing them. The project should be completed in a couple of weeks. Mr. Scarl made the motion to accept the four Capital Improvement projects the Mayor has brought before the Commission. Ms. Nader seconded the motion. Mr. Groden suggested there should be a discussion on the priority of the improvements in case the money is depleted prior to completion of all four projects. Ms. Leaver stated that the only project that may run over cost is the lobby renovation depending on if the supports need to be modified. In that case she believes the extra cost would be approved. Mr. Groden stated as long as all four projects are going to be done and any extra cost is guaranteed, there would be no need to have the Recreation Commission prioritize them. The Recreation Center Capital Improvements as stated in paragraph one were approved 4-0. Ms. Nader inquired about the progress of the Skate Park security cameras. Mr. Disalvo said they were still debating as to where the cameras should be mounted, and should hear something soon. Ms. Leaver reported that the pier demolition has been complete. Concerning the shared facility agreement, the Law Director said he will take the first steps at drafting something to send to the schools and the Recreation Commission.
