Recreation Commission Meeting <br />March 3, 2003 <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. DiSalvo replied that, even if someone is being paid $8.00 an hour, it should be affordable. <br />Mr. Limpert asked if there were other tasks someone in the ticket booth could be handling to <br />make the time more productive, and the Commissioner replied in the affirmative. The supervisor <br />has a cell phone to contact other employees. The Commissioner would like to get staff shirts and <br />badges to identify the staff. It was also suggested that laid-off school crossing guards might be <br />asked to assume positions early in the morning to man the ticket booth. The booth itself will also <br />be modified and made more spacious, user-friendly, and safer. <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Wetmore was asked about his background. He stated he worked for Ann Arbor public <br />schools, which did the recreation for the City of Ann Arbor, which was quite large. The City <br />probably had 300-400 softball teams during the year. The City also had baseball, about 100 <br />teams. The City had the school fields and the parks fields. It was a large schedule. Chris lives in <br />Brook Park and grew up in Middleburg Heights, graduating from Eastern Michigan University. <br /> <br />Mr. DiSalvo then spoke of the Recreation Center’s physical building evaluation: <br /> <br />? <br /> <br />$7,000 – pool pump <br />? <br /> <br />$60,000 – heaters for tennis area (now 28 years old) <br />? <br /> <br />Restroom at the North Olmsted Park has pipes rotting - $40,000 <br />? <br /> <br />Bleachers in pool - $30,000 <br />? <br /> <br />Outdoor pool filtration system is running on borrowed time <br />? <br /> <br />Outdoor pool has constant leaks and is hollow underneath – Health Department will watch for <br />safety; the Recreation Center is not to the point of replacement. Closing the pool may <br />generate the interest to replace it <br />? <br /> <br />Pool locker room lockers being repaired <br />? <br /> <br />Ceiling tiles in the building need replacement <br />? <br /> <br />Emergency lighting needs attention – three weeks ago the power went out in the ice rink. If <br />the lighting goes out in the rink area, the controls are in the tennis area. The lighting sensors <br />throughout the building are not located in the correct areas; wiring and panels must be <br />corrected. Each panel runs between $8,000-$15,000, about eight panels in the Center <br />? <br /> <br />Plumbing valve for indoor swimming pool actually facing backwards in the pool and needs to <br />be replaced. The back flow preventer must be turned around and two main supply lines need <br />to be repaired <br />? <br /> <br />Cleaning contract less expensive than having our crew-park jobs as well <br />? <br /> <br />Replace facia support holding up dummy wall because there are 10-15 beams rotting; if they <br />break off, they will wobble and wave, distorting the facing <br />? <br /> <br />Insulation on the tennis roof is leaking <br />? <br /> <br />The gym heater is getting old <br />? <br /> <br />The Recreation Center needs replacement of equipment (tractor, truck, etc) <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />
