Recreation Commission Meeting July 7, 2003 Mr. Jesse moved that Council establish an Ordinance to amend Ordinance 2002-14 to allow discounts only to City of North Olmsted employees, both part time and full time, seconded by Ms. Hayes. All were in favor except Mr. Gareau. Motion passed. There was a second Motion by Ms. Hayes to amend to open swim and open skate for employees, full and part time. Mr. Jesse seconded the motion. Discussion ensued by Mr. Jesse. The amendment and motion would allow the Rec Commission to present the matter to Council, for three readings, open to the public. Motion passed unanimously on the Amendment. At this point, the Chairman excused herself from the rest of the meeting and passed her duties to Mr. Gareau. The Commission agreed that there will be a meeting on the first Monday in August. This concluded the Sub-Committee reports, and the Commission moved on to New Business. NEW BUSINESS Revenue Report Mr. DiSalvo reported that the last revenue report closed out May. June's close out won't be until next week. Up until May, the revenues are about 3.43% behind budget. On the second page with the income statement, two things are observed. With recreation programs, under Chris Wetmore's supervision, the Rec Center is ahead of budget as well as quality of programming. Gymnastics brought in quite a bit of money in June but it's not reflected on this statement. The game machines, as everyone know, have not been right for a long time. Setting up other people interested in this is a priority and, hopefully, new games will be in place by September. Moving to the expense side, total wages are in line. Mr. Jesse asked about the variance in administration as regards zero encumbrances for Employee appreciation, P.E.RS. and Hospitalization as well as Worker's Comp and Retirement and Vacation Pay and Insurance. Mr. DiSalvo does not know why wages were so out of line. Mr. Jesse asked that Mr. DiSalvo review this and get a copy of the corrected Expense Report. Mr. Gareau stated that this is apparently an error in input, a data entry issue, e.g., the target variance percentage should not be consistently 50%. Mr. DiSalvo also noted that, with Special Services, he believes that the Rec Center's contractors are making a lot more than they should be, as well as Park Supplies and Operating Supplies. One good thing is that in Refunds, these are for forfeit fees or medical reasons, so the actual amount indicated is misleading. Mr. Gareau asked if there were any further questions on the Expense Report and asked once more that the corrected Expense Report be mailed to the members as soon as possible. There were no further questions from the Members on the Expense or Income Reports. Page 6
