Recreation Commission Meeting <br />December 1, 2003 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The striping has been accomplished. The outside area has been cleaned up, and the curb painting <br />has been finished. The signage has been detailed. <br /> <br />Personnel Matters <br /> <br />Mr. Jesse said that he and Mr. DiSalvo discussed the personnel restructuring issues. When the <br />Commissioner is not at the Rec things tend to get out of hand, so to have another person in <br />charge will be a plus for the Department. <br /> <br />Security <br /> <br />The Rec Center is continuing with Joe Rice, who will be meeting with Messrs. Jesse and DiSalvo <br />on Thursday of this week towards the next phase of the security plan. The Rec is becoming very <br />close to being a very secure place to be. People are getting used to being asked questions; they <br />are getting used to not being able to bring things in; they are getting used to metal detection and <br />random testing. The mindset is now being put upon the general public so that all of these things <br />are not a big surprise, even on a recreational basis. <br /> <br />Friday Night Skate <br /> <br />As regards Friday Night Skates, there has been a positive response from the people attending. <br /> <br />Spring Brochure <br /> <br />The Rec Center is trying to speed up as far as possible a spring brochure, so that people can sign <br />up earlier than they did before and also increase the offerings. Interest is still strong in a fitness <br />center. The Fire Department got a grant to increase its fitness programs, a combination if <br />wellness and equipment grant. The Department does baselines such as cholesterol and heart <br />readings, etc., tracking progress through the implementation of the fitness programs. Once the <br />City sees how the Fire Department’s program works, there could be a spinoff for the Rec <br />Department. Ms. Kanis asked if one could sign up for programs on line: not yet, but it’s coming <br />with the new computer system. <br /> <br />This concluded the Report of the Safety Director. <br /> <br />NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />Meeting Date <br /> <br />Ms. Hayes stated that there was some discussion last month about changing the meeting date so <br />that the financials could be more current. Everyone was not in attendance in November, and she <br />asked if a date change was something the board members wanted to do. From her own <br />Page 6 <br /> <br />
