V. Approval of Minutes – October 1, 2018
Mr. Arthur entered a motion to approve the October 1, 2018 meeting minutes as
presented. Ms. Zenti seconded the motion. All were in favor. The motion was carried.
VI. Public Comments
No members of the public were present at the meeting.
VII. New Business
a. 2019 Improvements: Ms. Wilson stated that the budget has been approved, with
significant parking lot improvements planned. Photographs of the existing parking
lot will be forwarded to the appropriate personnel for review for possible repaving or
total replacement.
Funds are available in the Capital budget for landscaping and irrigation, as well as a
possible shade structure at the Amphitheatre.
Ms. Wilson stated that the Sheriff’s Department had expressed interest in the addition
of a pavilion style, covered basketball court, similar to the structure at Max Hasse
Park; however, there are insufficient funds within the budget to accommodate this at
the present time.
Ms. Wilson stated that additional cameras are planned to be installed throughout the
facility, both interior and exterior, but more so on the outside. Ms. Tuff inquired as to
whether there is presently a camera which faces the playground. Ms. Wilson replied
that there is a rotating camera at the Wheels Facility which captures the playground as
well, however the sight line to the playground is presently blocked by large oak trees.
Ms. Tuff stated that a camera dedicated solely to the playground is important. Ms.
Wilson replied that the camera would have to be placed where it will be safe from
damage and vandalism. Cameras trained on the front parking lot are essential as well
for public safety and to deter vandalism.

b. Parking lot speed bumps painted yellow: Ms. Wilson reported that the Advisory
Board had previously recommended painting the front parking lot speed bumps
yellow. Painting was done by Facilities, however happened to coincide with early
voting at the Community Center, with the heavier traffic complicating the process.
Unfortunately, within a few weeks’ time, the speed bumps were significantly marked
with tire treads. Ms. Wilson stated the speed bumps will be repainted.
VIII. Old Business
a. Update on Christmas Activities at the Community Center:
+Christmas tree lighting: Ms. Wilson stated the Christmas tree lighting event was
very successful, with plans to work with the Civic Association next year in order to
grow the event. The Christmas tree lighting was held the evening before the Snow
Fest celebration.
+Snow Fest: Ms. Wilson did not have specific attendance numbers; however, stated
attendance was perceived to be slightly down from last year’s event. It was noted that
while less people attended, they did stay longer at the event.
+Breakfast with Santa: Ms. Wilson stated there were 258 participants in attendance
at this year’s event, which is approximately 100 less than last year. While it was felt
that there had been adequate promotion of the event, Breakfast with Santa had
historically been held the morning of the Snow Fest event and the carnival, however
this year was held on Saturday, December 8, 2018, the weekend following Snow Fest.
It was felt this change of date may have contributed to reduced attendance this year.
The Breakfast with Santa event will likely go back to being held on the morning of
the Snow Fest event next year.
+Christmas Camp: Ms. Wilson reported that there were 12 participants in
Christmas Camp, which ran for 5 days this year, increased from a 3-day camp in the
past. The camp was financially successful, despite having only 12 participants, due to
the reduced number of Staff required to supervise the children.
IX. Member/Staff Comments
a. Upcoming events – Ms. Wilson
+No special events are scheduled in January 2019.
+The Senior Expo is scheduled to be held on Sunday, February 13, 2019.

during the Christmas festivities in order to send a thank you note and to forward a
photograph taken of the group.
