REPORTS Safety Director Jenkins: 1) Early last week, the Recreation Center had a problem with water leaking onto the floor of the indoor tennis courts. The problem was determined to be a leak in the pool that was saturating the ground and leaking onto the tennis court floor since it is on a lower level than the pool. After investigation of the bed and the shell of the pool, it was determined that the problem was the piping system under or around the pool. Closer examination with cameras revealed there was no problem in the plumbing, either the feed or the return water, but rather in the gutter around the pool where there are sleeves which hold stakes which hold lane line markers. These need to be reconstructed as the original construction probably wasn't to the specifications called for in the plans which resulted in a shallower fill of concrete than what was needed. As the stakes went in year after year, it chipped away at that and water eventually leaked from the gutter into those sleeve holes and out and saturated the ground. Repairs have begun and the sleeves are being moved up to the deck from the splash gutter around the pool. The cost of the repairs will be approximately $5,000. Mayor Musial: 1) On behalf of the City of North Olmsted, he wished everyone a joyous and blessed Christmas and a very healthy and prosperous New Year. 2) A successful and well attended tree lighting ceremony was held on December 9. Thanks to administrative assistant Mary Creadon for coordinating the event and the Service Department for decorating the grounds. I
