Mr. Coriano and Mr. Hopkins wanted to point out that the budgeting system went through a

VII. OLD BUSINESS
r
a.) SUMMER CAMP PREPARATIONS & TRAINING
Mr. Coriano stated that we can close out this item. We are no longer in preparations and
2
training stage; we are in full Summer Camp mode. It's going well. Right now, we have
126 campers registered. That includes five elementary and one middle school group.
What we were really trying to do this year was prepping up the counselors more. We
d
take the first week to have the counselors get familiar with the campers, and our
m
expectations of them. All but 1 counselor is new (Gabi, is returning).
Q
U
A counselor that went through the full hiring process, the training process, and then
U
backed out. Luckily, this year we had a back-up system where we could use the Key Staff
positions to spread out with the groups and they're all doing a good job.

Ms. Tuff asked if CCPS was bringing lunches for the kids or if they had to bring their
lunches.
Mr. Coriano explained that there is a FREE lunch program brought in by the school
board from the GGHS cafeteria for the campers and the community. We have been
having some people from the community come in. It is the campers' choice whether they
eat the school lunch or what they brought from home. Parts of the extra lunches are
used for snacks, for those campers that may not have brought enough snacks for the
day.
Mr. Coriano presented the new counselor STAFF, JR LEADER, & COUNSELOR T-shirts.
He said this year we have 14 Jr Leaders assigned to us, so that will give us 2 Jr. Leaders
per group.
Mr. Coriano stated that there would be no field trips on the first and last weeks of camp.
For the weeks that there are field trips, they will go to: the zoo, bowling twice, the
movies, and Sun'N'Fun twice.
Mr. Coriano stated that this year we were also doing 3 weeks of BMX camp and 2 weeks
of Skate camp. The Skate camp is being run by Trevor, and our BMX camp is being run
by Mario. All the BMX camps are full, we have waiting lists on all those. The Skate camp
is not full but is almost there.
b.) SPRING BASKETBALL LEAGUE
Mr. Coriano stated that the parents were really happy with the Spring League; really
enjoyed the format. We had great feedback on it.
We will be running the league in Winter/Spring of next year. We were thinking about
running a league for the Fall, but we were also looking to do a league for the middle
schoolers. The league is co-ed and has kids ages S — 11 years old.
c.) FALL PROGRAMS PLANNING
Mr. Coriano stated that there wasn't much to add from the last meeting. All the
c
programs have been set and inputted into ActiveNet. The one thing that will be a bit
N
different this year is working on that middle school basketball program.

VIII. NEW BUSINESS
a.) COMMUNITY CENTER & WHEELS FACILITIES UPDATES
.-.
Mr. Hopkins stated that he had a full detailed update.
- TREE TRIMMING: All the quotes have been received, uploaded into the system, and
aM
waiting on approval (Basically just a purchase order). Once the purchase order is
—N-
received, Mr. Croiano will contact the company, and they start working on the trees.
r
- SOD REPLACEMENT: They ripped out the old garden sod will be replaced with new
sod. The irrigation is already in place and supplies are pending a purchase order.
2
They are keeping the gazebo; the carpenter is going to give it a nice face lift.
c
- LIGHTS: At the BMX and Skate park are waiting on a purchase order for the
replacement of those with LED lights.
- CEMENT WORK: It was scheduled but it changed due to the weather. Mr. Arcia
pp
stated that they would now start Monday (6/12).
Q
They are going to be redoing some of the berms on turn # 2 of the BMX track, and
the downgrade into the starting ramp. They will be doing repair work to the West
side of the building (where the dumpster is), and some various other cement repairs

around the property. They already have the purchase order on that, we'll input a
change of schedule for the BMX season and the weather.
SKATE PARK: It is a work in progress.
Mr. Hopkins said that the update that he just gave the Board (it's called the AIMS
Commissioner Office Request), he gives that same report to the Commissioner every
week.
Mr. Hopkins also wanted to mention that he and Mr. Coriano had followed up with
Facilities on the fire reinspection so that we can get the full VPK license issued from
DCF.
Mr. Coriano stated that they had finished all the painting, pressure washing, etc. out at
Wheels and Facilities Renovation Team did a great job.
Mr. Hopkins also wanted to add that it made more sense to Mr. Coriano and him to wait
on replacing the floors in the bathrooms until after summer camp. The Board will be
consulted on colors, etc.
b.) CCSO M.S. BASKETBALL PROGRAM & HOT SUMMER NIGHTS
Mr. Coriano stated that Sgt. Solomon with CCSO is going to try to run a basketball
program for middle schoolers on Friday nights from 6:00 - 10:OOPM, here at GGCC and
also out in lmmokalee. We will work something out where we just lock up the building
and they can leave by the side doors. Mr. Coriano stated that he didn't think they would
get the numbers to be here that late, but he hopes they do.
Mr. Coriano received a call from Officer Capizzi about CCSO running Hot Summer Nights
in the open field here at GGCC. The event is held in different communities to get
information out to parents on various programs available for middle schoolers.

occupied. LM
