Moving on to Councilwoman Hemann, Chairwoman of the Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee, do you have a report this evening? Recreation Public Parks and Buildings Committee Councilwoman Hemann: I do. Thank you, Mr. President. The Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee met on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, to discuss Resolution 2025-40. A Resolution authorizing the City Engineer to advertise for bids for the award of a contract for phase two renovations at North Olmsted Community Park as detailed in the specifications on file and authorizing the Mayor following approval of the Board of Control to contract for the same with the lowest and best bidder. The meeting was called to order at 7 p.m. Present were Committee Members Hemann, Scarl and Limpert. Councilmembers Madden, Marrie, Shymske, the Mayor, all of the Directors, and the Special Assistant to the Mayor. • Director Pincheck addressed the Committee with the primary details of the amenity to be included in phase two of the North Olmsted Community Park renovation, which included the tennis courts, shelter space, walking trails, and splash pad. Director Pinchek also addressed the question of the installation of underground electrical outlets and water supply, which had been requested by the Community Council for use at events. The cost of those improvements was estimated at upwards of $200,000. The decision was made to not install water lines based on vendor setups, now being primarily a food truck or trailer option, and that rather than install underground electrical lines, the outlets we would supply would be supplying vendors with portable generators, which are costing approximately $110 each. There are 14 generator purchases planned, and they operate on a lifespan of hours used. Director Kearney suggested that several in the Service Department have been in use for several years without loss of power supply. The revision to the water and electrical component is an approximately $200,000 savings to the overall cost of the project. Ms. Hemann made a motion to approve 2025- 40, seconded by Mr. Scarl, that motion carried 3-0. • Next on the agenda was 2025-43. A Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into a preservation covenant agreement with the State Historic Preservation Office as a condition of eligibility for the Save America's Treasures Grant funding for improvement of Old Town Hall. Director Upton refreshed the Committee with the information of the 05-07-25 Council Meeting Minutes - Page 5
