REVENUE / EXPENSE: Ms. Drenski reported that overall revenue figures are ahead over last year. The rink is up quite a bit. It helped having Brunswick, Westlake and Avon in this year, they are also booked for next year. Enrichment revenue has increased by making sure all funds are collected and accounted for. We are still making changes in the pool area as far as programming, so we will see as we go through the year other changes that may be needed. Ms. Figueira noted that she has started an adult Masters Swim Team which will help with revenue as the team grows. Olmsted Falls high school boosters club are looking to hold their meets here. They are currently using up to four different pools during the year and would like to consolidate to one location. Ms. Figueira is also looking into have Avon Lake here as well. Ms. Drenski stated as far as expenditures they are being watched very closely and we are doing well. All Capital Improvement monies that were budgeted for other areas this year will be transferred to the pool dehumidification and roof projects along with the $203,000 we borrowed. COMMISSION MEMBER TOPICS: Mr. Ruggles asked Mr. Wetmore if there has been any progress with getting electricity on diamond number one. Mr. Wetmore replied that George Verlich is currently replacing the scoreboard and he has asked him if he would include some outlets as well. Mr. Kearney asked if the kick board had been removed at Barton Bradley Park. Mr. Wetmore stated that it has been removed. GUEST TOPICS: Ms. Powell wanted to complement on all the new and current programs that are being offered at the Recreation Center, and how well the center is being managed along with the responsive- ness and enthusiasm of the Recreation Administration. Patrons can see the improvements and they are very proud of their Recreation Center. Ms. Powell asked if the condensation issues in Tennis will be eliminated with the roof repair project. Mr. Wetmore stated the area directly over the Tennis courts is not part of the project, it is not a flat roof but a pitched roof. The area in Tennis that will be improved is over the locker rooms, office and lobby. Ms. Drenski said she would have Brewer Garrett look into it. Ms. Powell also inquired about increasing the viewing area in Tennis. Mr. Wetmore received a quote in May and we are currently looking to have two 72” windows installed by the end of December in time for the tournament in January.
