<br />Recreation Commission Meeting <br />January 6, 2003 <br />for a year-round Pavilion, and SCF will try to secure the facility for first choice in its use if <br />approved, a 50-50 chance with the funding. <br /> <br />Preschool is not enough for special needs children. As regards a fitness center for SCF, in looking <br />at the circular area at the Recreation Center, anything over zero dollars for lease is a benefit. <br />However, the location of the old office makes better sense than the concrete circle. Another idea <br />is to bring in funding from parents, e.g., volunteering to sell hot dogs or whatever it takes to <br />bring in money for their kids, and they’ll sell a lot of hot dogs for them. In other words, people <br />who wouldn’t usually be coming to the Recreation Center would be here. <br /> <br />Don then talked about Jeff Marshall (hockey), an old friend of the Recreation Center, who would <br />put in a learn to skate program for the SCF program, bringing about a domino effect of programs <br />in other areas: swimming, gymnastics, etc. Logistically, it’s easy to see the financial increase to <br />the City of North Olmsted and its Recreation Center by implementing programs for SCF. <br /> <br />Mr. Jacob then concluded by stating he would be meeting with other predominant people <br />involved with SCF and the school to bring together all the pieces of the puzzle. If anyone <br />from the Recreation Commission and Council would like to attend, they would be <br />welcome. (Tape soft and garbled by talk among the members about times and dates <br />available). <br /> <br />Mr. Jacob asked for a specific room at the Recreation Center for meetings in the future regarding <br />SCF with the City, Recreation Center, and School District. Beech Brook would also like to be a <br />part of this program. <br /> <br />Tight timelines are involved to organize the City of North Olmsted/Recreation Center with what <br />they can/cannot do as far as the City’s Letter of Intent from the Law Department to SCF. Mr. <br />Jesse made a motion to support SCF and its mission with its collaboration between itself and the <br />community, and Mr. Gareau indicated no objection in line with page one, paragraph two, “Outline <br />of Proposal’s Objectives and Funding Practices,” of Exhibit A. The Motion was seconded by <br />Mr. Gareau and passed unanimously by roll call. <br /> <br />APPROVAL OF MINUTES <br /> <br />Ms. Hayes made a Motion for approval of the December minutes and asked for any corrections or <br />additions. Motion seconded, roll was called, and the December 2002 minutes were unanimously <br />approved. <br /> <br /> <br />REPORT OF RECREATION COMMISSIONER <br /> <br />N/A. <br /> <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />
