Recreation Commission Meeting <br />June 2, 2003 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />soon as the Rec Center receives them, we can send them out to bid. Ms. Jones asked about the <br />dirt where the horseshoe pits were located, and Mr. DiSalvo said that the horseshoe pits were re- <br />seeded and turned around. The dirt where the tennis courts are has been re-seeded and will be <br />leveled by Dave Wendell. Ms. Jones asked when the basketball courts might be completed, and <br />Mr. DiSalvo said that he couldn't give an exact time, just sometime this year. <br /> <br />Mr. Baxter then asked Mr. DiSalvo to expand on the horseshoe pits. He wanted to know who <br />improved them to the status they have been in the last few years. Mr. DiSalvo said that Tom <br />Stein and his crew improved the horseshoe pits. Mr. Baxter continued that the reason he asked is <br />because there is a league who plays the horseshoe pits, and it's great for them. However, if the <br />average person wants to play horseshoes, it's difficult to play. The pits are designed for above <br />average horseshoe players. First, you must take the heavy covers off and remove two tarps. It's <br />not a place to play horseshoes like a child or anyone else would play. It discourages anyone <br />besides the most experienced players from the game. If the City would like to go towards East <br />Park and put in another set of horseshoe pits, it would be most beneficial for recreational players. <br /> <br />Ice Show <br /> <br />Mr. DiSalvo asked if anyone attended the ice show. Mr. Jesse said the show was outstanding and <br />that it was really well done. The players put their hearts into it. The sound, the lights, everything <br />was good. <br /> <br />Summer Music Program <br /> <br />Mr. Baxter asked about the summer music program before Mr. DiSalvo concluded his report. He <br />wanted to know if the program was going forward. Mr. DiSalvo replied in the affirmative. Mr. <br />Baxter suggested more promotion for this fine program. He further suggested that Diamond 1 be <br />closed off while the music is playing, since it is beside the pavilion. Any foul ball going down <br />third base is a hazard for people sitting and watching the concert. <br /> <br />Ms. Jones then brought up the fact that North Olmsted Community Council was in the brochure <br />every year, but not this Summer's brochure, and it is an outside sponsor for the summer movie <br />program. No one called the Treasurer of the organization. Mr. DiSalvo will follow up on this <br />matter. <br /> <br />Mr. Gareau suggested that, as in the past, the movie in the pool be brought back. For example, <br />one movie was, "The Creature from the Black Lagoon," on the wall, with the kids watching from <br />inner tubes in the pool. The Commission agreed that this would be a good idea for follow-up. <br /> <br />This concluded the report of the Recreation Commissioner. <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />
