N
N
We did a good job when it came down to the use of expenses for this year. We ended up not
L
M
using close to $31,000 due to painting renovations done in the facility by Facilities
Renovation Team. Budget funds were supposed to be used, but OAS were able to pull those
O
funds from a different source.
'

Budget for their review.
Mr. Bretzmann suggested that they take the time until the next meeting to review the FY
2024 Budget for any questions, comments and/or concerns. All agreed.
VII. Community Center & Wheels Park Facilities Updates
a.) Community Center
1. Cleaning Contract:
Mr. Coriano stated that they had to do some research into the contract, mostly to see
what was covered by the end of the year.
Mr. Gomez stated that we are going to get a new cleaning company, but the
personnel that they will be having do the cleaning, will be the same. He stated he
wasn't sure if the Board was satisfied or not with the current cleaning company, but
Packet Pg. 736
20.A.3
we will be getting a new contract with a new cleaning company. He stated that
there will be new representatives in certain areas, but as far as cleanliness, it will be
pretty much the same standard. They are going to give us a little more transparency
and input on the new contract, as far as what we would like to see done. The
contract is supposed to start this new fiscal year.
Ms. Tuff stated that the concern that she had is that we get what we pay for. If our
staff has to go and clean the bathrooms, then we aren't getting service. So that's
unacceptable. We were supposed to get our floors completely cleaned; we are a
year behind on that.
Mr. Gomez responded that the contract is operated and manned by Facilities. Mr.
Coriano has been proactive with this issue, in sitting down with the people that are
going to man this contract so that we can get ahead of it. Mr. Gomez stated that he
would follow-up on the promises that Mr. Rodriguez had made.
2. A/C Unit in Auditorium:
Mr. Coriano stated that one of the A/C units in the Auditorium is not operational, so
the room is currently operating with only one unit. It will be repaired by the end of
the week.

Mr. Coriano stated that he spoke to Chris Cousins (Facilities) and initiated a work
order to stain and/or paint the field gazabo. They were waiting on everyone to get
access to their new FY budget to get started.
4. Restroom Floors: `=
Restroom floors are still listed for renovations, pending budget. Mr. Coriano stated c
that he spoke with Mr. Atkinson, and he said that there will be a budget priority N

for repairs.
7. Marquee's Lights:
Mr. Coriano stated that Facilities Maintenance Electricians came out last week and
determined the issue is out of their scope of work. Mr. Coriano stated he will need
to search for a contractor who will be willing to work with the marquee.
8. Center's Parking Lot Light Post:
Mr. Coriano stated that there is a light post in the parking lot which has a tilt. Once

Ramp Doctors Inc.) is going to provide the sketches and materials list that he will
need to finish off the actual contract for the Skate Park.
3. BMX Track Preparations for Qualifier:

tree trimming of some branches that have come over the fence of the Skate Park.

This year for the Halloween Event we are going to be doing a Glow Dance Party,

One of her main priorities with childcare is to make sure that the kids have fun!

Mr. Coriano stated that the Center ended up having 132 kids registered for Summer
Camp this year. Since probably about half of those campers are returning from last

same as the previous year. The staff did a great job! We ended up getting some
great feedback from the parents from the surveys we completed.

Mr. Coriano stated that we have two Board Members that have their terms coming up. Ms

Ms. Zenti stated that she hadn't. She also stated that she would prefer not to return, and
requested the Board to perhaps find other applicants who might be interested in the
position.
Mr. Bretzmann stated that he had planned on not reenlisting for his position on the Board.
He doesn't want to see the Board down to just three members and he stated he will only
rethink his decision if the Board has problems in finding other candidates.

please let her know.
