Previous/Unfinished Business:
Madeline plaque: Laura spoke with GG Brown, the plaque should be ready by
now per her last conversation with the owner. Laura will phone the Trophy Shop
in Waverly to determine the balance due and when the plaque can be picked up.
Gene will mail a check to Laura when the amount is confirmed.
Building Use Fee Schedule: After discussion about the fee schedule, and
clarifying the intent of last month's motion, it was agreed that a standard fee
schedule would be established, with exceptions made on a case by case review as
requested, and by appropriate motion. A Weisbrod/Roach motion was passed to
establish the following fee schedule: Organized youth groups composed
predominantly of Ulster and Sheshequin residents will have use of the rec center
at no cost, with a $1 per head charge for non-resident participants; any other
rentals will be charged hourly at $15 for taxpayer/$30 for nontaxpayer use, with
an additional $5 per hour minimum to be paid separately to a youth DJ, when
provided for dances or skate parties.
A Roach/Grzincic motion was passed to accept the resident rate for the
U12 Soccer team coached by Sheshequin resident Matt Rogers, at $7 per use for
the 7 non-resident team members, in addition to a contribution from the Bradford
County Youth Indoor Soccer League. Soccer parents Penni Thulman and Tim
May have volunteered to help write grant applications when the board secures
501c3 status.
New Business:
Skate closures: To keep confusion at a minimum, it was agreed that skating will
be closed whenever school is closed, for holidays and weather closures, EVEN IF
THE WEATHER IMPROVES after schools close.
Visit from Santa: Santa phoned Laura and offered to visit the Rec Center, a date
was set for December 15th, Rorry and Cathy will make necessary arrangements.
Extra Tables: The extra tables that were left outside of the Rec Center several
weeks ago will be donated to Trinket Community Organization. The folding
tables on stage (reserving one for Rec Center use) will also be LOANED to
Trinket.
Soda Machine Key: The key for the soda machine is missing. It hung on a white
cord inside the skate closet and is no longer there. Shari has a spare, which is now
our only key.
Next Meeting: Will be TUESDAY, December 10, 2002, at 7:30 pm.
A unanimous motion was passed to adjourn the meeting at 9:10 pm.
