<br /> <br />SPECIAL EVENT UPDATES <br />: <br /> <br />Ms. Drenski informed the commission that our Eggstravaganza event was bigger and better <br />than ever this year and with the beautiful weather we had a great turnout. The Ice Show went <br />well and attendance was up from last year. Ms. Brewer commented that the skating was fantastic <br />as well as the music and theme of the show. Ms. Drenski stated next year’s show will have a <br />theme to tie in with the City’s Bicentennial. <br /> <br /> <br />PROGRAM UPDATES: <br /> <br />Mr. Wetmore reported the youth baseball and softball programs are the biggest they have <br />ever been. Our summer swim team is doing well also with 80 participants, and we will be <br />hosting the championship meet. <br /> <br /> <br />HAMLIN BENCH INSTALL: <br /> <br />Mr. Wetmore updated the commission concerning the bench that Jackie Hamlin donated in <br />memorial for her husband that passed away last year. The area by the handicap lot at North <br />Olmsted Park was excavated last week and we will pour the cement pad tomorrow. <br />Ms. Hamlin is also thinking about trying to put a program in place for a memorial donation <br />bench park, so we are looking for 15 to 20 spots throughout the park that could use a bench. <br /> <br /> <br />OTHER: <br /> <br />The outdoor pool has been painted will open on Wednesday. Ms. Drenski mentioned that <br />they have been working with Illustrative Images Design & Photography to create a logo <br />specific to North Olmsted Parks & Recreation so we would have our own identity that <br />matched the City’s logo. When the renovations are complete every employee will have a <br />shirt and name tag with the new logo on it. <br /> <br /> <br />REVENUE / EXPENSE: <br /> <br />Ms. Drenski reported the year-end numbers were up overall with $97,964 over our projected <br />revenue budget and we are currently up overall this year as well. This year we are down two <br />tennis courts so our projected revenue is lower than last year in that area. We have six pickle- <br />ball courts that have been full since late last year, this will help increase the Tennis revenue. <br />The pool revenue is much better than last year in part to having consistent Learn to Swim <br />lessons. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
