Parks: Pool admissions were discussed and decided that a $25.00 individual (non-transferrable)season pass (Ages 4 and up) will be the only pass available for the 2017 season. Daily admission rate will be 5.00 and the Baby pool will be $1.00 per day (ages 0-3); Pool rental $80.00 per 2 hours; and shelter rental $30.00. These rates will be drafted in an Ordinance for Council to consider at the next meeting. New chemical feed pumps (4) were installed at the pool, the pool will be cleaned and filled soon, hoping all will hold for the season’s operation. V.A. Martin hired Glea Herr as Manager and she is cleaning up the pool facilities. The office vandalism damage has been repaired with a sliding window for concessions and will be boarded over when the pool is not in operaton. The Myers Park dumpster placement was discussed, no trash cans are out (Ball-club) for use. (Ball club has them). The dumpster may be moved back to the pool area when the season begins. Girl’s softball (AVMP) has moved the Village trash bin into their dugout and want the Village to dump it often to keep bees away. The Village will pick up the trash on their brush pick-up route, and they may need to get their own containers as the Village’s were at the playground and basketball court.
