Council Minutes of 4/18/2©06 to rest and noting Mr. Ryan's comment about giving it a year and testing it being apropos, he votes yes reluctantly. The motion passed with six yes votes and one no vote. Mayor O'Grady commented that the comments of Mr. Miller with regard to not being provided with detailed information on this position and a salary rate early in the year is inaccurate. He wishes he would have been allowed to speak before the vote. The motion that was made took away the person's annual increase of 4 1/z% which would have been received on the anniversary date. This was really poorly done. Councilman Barker, chairperson of the Recreation, Public Parks & Buildings Committee: 1) The committee met on April 11. Present were committee members Barker, Dailey Jones and Gareau; Council Members Miller, Orlowski, Ryan and Tallon; Law Director Dubelko, Service Director Limpert, Fleet Manager Conway and residents. Discussed was Resolution 2005-188 a resolution to authorize the Mayor to enter into a renewed one-year contract with LK Heating and Cooling Inc. to perform maintenance upon the heating and cooling equipment at various city buildings, and declaring an emergency. This was brought to Council in December of 2005 and was placed on first reading. The committee was to hold it by Service Director Limpert because other heating and cooling companies were inquiring to bid this contract. A few companies also asked to see the contract for the previous year. After reviewing, one company submitted a bid but, although they were lower, they did not include filter replacements which, when added in, was higher than LK Heating and Cooling. It is interesting to note that LK Heating and Cooling did not raise their prices from the previous year. They maintain the heating and cooling units at City Hall and other facilities, but not the Rec Center and the WWTP. They do service both fire stations, but under a different contract. Mr. Gareau suggested that in the future we might want to bring all of our facilities under one contract to make things simpler for everyone. It was agreed that it would be attempted, but the chilling equipment for the ice rink may be an issue. We have another company that handles the maintenance for that and the Recreation building. The committee unanimously recommended approval and passage under suspension of the rule. Councilman Barker, member of the Recreation Master Plan Committee: 1) The committee met on April 13 at 5:30 p.m. Highlights of the committee's report are as follows: The design team evaluated the physical conditions of the existing park facilities, concentrating primarily on the recreation center. We have not lacked at the facitities from a programming analysis. Task two of the master plan wilt address recreation pra~ram needs of the community and identify how the current facilftie-s meet or do n~ meet these needs. At that point, we will discuss community needs, affordability and if the existing facilities can be used, renovated, or complete new structures wilt be recommended. Some major popular functions such as meeting rooms, fitness center, basketball courts, indoor soccer or water play activities may be missing. Additions or conversions of spaces might satisfy current needs. NORTH OLMSTED RECREATION MASTER PLAN -ARCHITECTURAL The North Olmsted Recreation Complex seems to have aged well.
