Recreation Commission Meeting March 3, 2003 As far as the brochure, the Department is in hyper mode right now. It’s supposed to be passed by thth Council on March 4 and, hopefully, the specifications can be sent out on March 5, and the thth actual ad can be in place on March 6. Bids will be accepted until March 14, the deadline. th The Board of Control will make it official on March 19. There does not appear to be any problem in getting the brochure passed through Council. It was noted that, because Mr. DiSalvo is new to his position, the Brochure will go through as is for Spring, but there will be streamlined changes for the Fall, particularly as regards the programming. Combination locks for the lockers should have been in last week. They will be in soon and will be available at cost in the ticket booth. There are about 25 broken lockers in the men’s locker room that Tom Stein and his crew are going to fix. The full lockers, even if closed and locked, can actually be pulled open, can be reached in, and can have something pulled out of the locker, even though it’s still locked. This is true on the small lockers as well. Mr. Baxter noted that this is something that should be taken care of by the maintenance crew as a matter of routine on their jobs. The Commissioner stated that there are over 100 lockers in the men’s locker room. The lockers do not need to be replaced; they will be fixed within about two weeks or so. There are also lockers in the tennis area. Mr. Limpert left to investigate the status of lockers in the tennis area. He reported that there are lockers in the men’s tennis locker room. It’s a semi- secure area, and you have to be let in by someone or know the door code. The lockers are in good shape. Originally, however, they had key locks, now missing, so there are now small holes where the locks were. Mr. DiSalvo reported that a message system is already in place in the phone system for at least three years, but it was never activated. It will now be activated, and there will be no extra charge. At the last option, you can press zero and get the operator. An example is that, if you need aquatics information, it’s not voice mail. It’s actually a message box that goes over everything. These messages can be changed on a daily basis. There can be a cancellation hotline. To reiterate, it’s not voice mail; it’s a message system. If you choose aquatics, though, there’s a tree set up: the main line, and then off the main line, you can’t press zero, because once you’re in the message box, you’ll have to hang up and dial again. That’s just the way it’s set up. If more information is needed, the person will have to speak with the supervisor. This system will be available to all the departments, including the Pro Shop, and can be utilized to announce rainouts for organizations such as NOSO or NOSA. This concluded the report of the Recreation Commissioner. REPORT BY SAFETY DIRECTOR None. Page 3
