Council Minutes of 6/20/95 Mr. McKay said he recently had occasion to use the services of the city chipper truck and wished to compliment the Service Department employees who work on the chipper truck for their conscientious hard work. Also, some sections of the city have been experiencing quite a problem with mosquitoes. The Service Department has been working on this problem, especially in the Whitethorn area. Mr. Miller, Chairperson of the Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee: 1) The committee met on Tuesday, June 20, and in attendance were Council Members Nashar, Limpert and Miller, Safety Director Kasler, Recreation Commissioner Dolansky and Finance Director Burns. The following agenda items were discussed: a. Financial information from Springvale indicates that from October, 1994 through April, 1995, income exceeded expenses by $131,974, with $49,000 of encumbered expenses. These figures are slightly ahead of expectations. With regard to a question concerning the number of current part-time employees working as starters as opposed to the number when the course was first purchased, Mrs. Kasler will investigate and respond at a later time. b. Recreation Commissioner Dolansky brought the committee up-to-date on the number of participants in the spring/summer registration and leagues. There are approximately 3,500 people participating the various activities--from a high of 1,024 in the learn-to-swim program to 9 in the `guppy kindergarten" program. c. Mrs. Saringer brought a resident's request to the committee for a weight training program at the Recreation Center. The request will be reviewed by the Recreation Department. Mr. Nashar thanked Police Chief Sefcek for his outstanding service and wished him the best in his retirement. He also expressed best wishes for success to incoming Chief Viola. Mrs. Saringer asked that Mayor Boyle reconsider the time of Chief Viola's swearing in ceremony. She would like it to be held at the Council meeting so that Council could participate. Mayor Boyle said that historically the city has held swearing-in ceremonies in the morning. He feels that our first obligation is to the Chief and the availability of his family. Mr. Miller asked to add the following item to his Recreation Committee report: 1) The cost of painting the outdoor swimming pool will be $6,000 and repainting should not be needed for 5 to 7 years. The previous painting procedure cost $3,000 every two years. It is anticipated that the pool will be open by the Fourth of July weekend. 3 L
