Recreation Commission Meeting <br />August 3, 2003 <br />Page Five <br /> <br />Questions <br /> <br />At this point, the Chairman turned the meeting over to the Commission members for questions. <br /> <br />There was general discussion about the work being done on Lorain Road. Mr. Jesse concluded <br />that the weather, combined with the bonding squeeze, have caused the paving companies to be <br />very cautious for financial reasons. <br /> <br />Mr. Baxter commented that the entire Park’s multi-purpose use to make the Park first class <br />should be considered, e.g.., swings and things for toddlers, disparaging exclusive use for ball <br />fields. This point was well taken among the members. <br /> <br />This concluded the Report of the Safety Director. <br /> <br />NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />Revenue Report <br /> <br />Mr. DiSalvo stated that he was not comfortable discussing financials because the report was <br />literally done today. Mr. DiSalvo, Mr. Baxter and Linda Andrews met the past week regarding <br />this situation, currently a work in progress. <br /> <br />Homecoming <br /> <br />The Commissioner reported that the Rec Department will promote a survey for what the residents <br />want for Homecoming. Ms. Jones asked if the City rented or owned the tents. <br />Mr. Jesse understands that some are owned and some are rented. Mr. DiSalvo said that <br />Chris Allegra is in charge of this matter. Ms. Hayes reported that the electrical cords must be <br />labeled for outdoor use; otherwise, they cannot be used. (overlapping discussion among the <br />members). Mr. Baxter observed that the City might want to consider more parking. Tom Stein <br />reported to Mr. DiSalvo that there would be four port-a-potties provided for the Homecoming. <br /> <br />This concluded the discussion of New Business. <br /> <br />OLD BUSINESS <br /> <br />Parks Concessions <br /> <br />For this year, the vendors are too late. Mr. DiSalvo met with five men who are extremely <br />interested. Mr. Jesse suggested it might be best to follow up now because there’s too much to be <br />done in the Spring. <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />
