SUB COMMITEE REPORT Definition of Family Rocky River’s “Definition of Family” was approved by the Sub Committee as quoted in the July minutes. Mr. DiSalvo questioned "Definition of Family" as to how it pertains to the Rec Department as opposed to the "We Care" Program.. Mr. Jesse stated that it means the definition of patrons versus procedures regarding fee schedules. "We Care" may be amended to make it more harmonious with "Definition of Family." "We Care" is an Ordinance. This matter should be placed up for new business at the next meeting. REPORT BY RECREATION COMMISSIONER Homecoming Collectively, 230 people participated in the survey, attached hereto as Exhibit A. For the most part the majority of the questions were answered, while some were left blank or had more than one response in multiple choice categories. Another survey will be taken to measure the consistency compared to the first survey. The survey outlines demographics of the Rec Department. Basic programs are what most people sign up for at the Rec. Other important considerations are pricing, cleanliness and service. Note: buy one get one passes for swimming and skating were given out if the survey was filled out. Consideration should be given for future giveaways. Ms. Hayes asked if Mr. DiSalvo had fun at the Homecoming. Mr. DiSalvo
