th In an attempt to make the 4 of July Celebration a little more exciting, we have approached the Mayor and Mr. Gareau to invite different organizations to participate in the parade along with the bicycles, as well as anyone else interested in participating. Along with the hot dogs, there will also be new games, events and inflatable’s which will take place at North Olmsted Park. Ms. Drenski stated that Rochelle Molnar from the Sea Turtles will be coaching the Summer Swim Team this year. We are hoping to bring more competition and substance to the program. Concerning building updates, the family changing room is now complete and we have received favorable feedback. The new compressor has been installed so we now have 8 that are functioning. Mr. Ruggles commented that he will check with the high school to see if any of the teams would like to participate in the parade. The Rink will shut down Memorial Day weekend to inspect an area under the ice that appears to be hollow and the lines on the ice will be repainted. The u-bends will also be inspected so that we have a better idea what repairs might be needed next year. The Rink will be up and running the last week of June. thth The outdoor pool will be open June 13 through September 9. The indoor pool will be shut thth down August 20 to be repainted and will reopen by September 6. Revenue for February is down a little bit due to the way that Gymnastic program fees are collected and posted. Enrichment will fluctuate with the changes that have been made to that department. As far as Capital improvements for 2011 we have approximately $98,000 with the roof being a priority at this time. We had hoped to get the APR system in the Pool however that has turned out to be extremely more expensive then we had anticipated with a cost of $200,000. We would also like to see the parking lot at the park resurfaced as well as the front of the building with a new floor and front desk area. We are currently getting quotes to see what projects we will be able to do with the money if any that is left over after the roof is repaired since that is our main priority. Once Council approves the budget the Commission will receive a copy. We have appropriated money for some smaller projects such as a sound system for the Pool, in the Rink a new edger, some cosmetic improvements and an automatic chemical system for the cooling system and the Tennis floor will be resurfaced. Concerning the road sign, it will be approximately 8 feet high and 10 feet wide. We are looking into what part of the land is ours and what part is the dealership land. We were told the dealership will be changing owners and this will also play a part as to what we can do. Mr. Garrity questioned whether the funds for the sign were in the Recreation budget or the City budget. Ms. Drenski replied that the funds are from the approval of issue 34.
