CENTER REPAIRS / WORK UPDATE <br /> <br />Ms. Drenski reported they found some issues with the Pool Pac unit due to a poor installation. <br />There is a one year labor warranty however PK Mechanical could not come out in a timely <br />manner and we were loosing too much oil so we had Brewer Garrett take over the repairs. <br />All of the leaks have been taken care of except for one inside the unit that is a result of the <br />installation. We have also had some fans and motors burn out when the power goes out which <br />is getting costly. We want to talk with the building department to see what can be done to protect <br />our HVAC units during a power outage and/or surge. <br /> <br />Mr. Wetmore reported that the swing sets at North Olmsted Park have been enclosed with play <br />curbs and playground mulch. Swing mats are in place and a ADA swing for the younger children <br />and one for the older children have been installed. The ADA ramps are on backorder and should <br />arrive within the week. At Barton and Bradley Park the new playground equipment has been <br />installed, also new playground mulch. These items came from a $5,000 grant sponsored by <br />Toyota. We will also be purchasing play curbs to enclose that swing set and a ADA ramp. All <br />of our parks are accessible and safe with the exception of the playground equipment at the <br />Recreation Center by the outdoor pool. The small newer structure has cracks in the beams. The <br />company that manufactured it is out of business so we are debating whether or not to construct <br />our own beams or take the structure out. The older equipment there needs to be replaced <br />and will have to be budgeted for next year. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
