D. Opening Remarks
1. Dan apologized to commission members for not sending out information packets prior to meeting.
2. Briefly recapped Monica's role.
E. Financial Reports
1. Payments plans have been put into place for some time. This allows revenue to continue to come in.
Financial report in some areas will run 4-6 weeks behind due to payment plans. New billing statements
went out Oct. 1st.
2. The snack bar has been generating 100 dollars a day on average. This is a new and welcoming revenue.
Cappuccino was frequently being requested, so a Keurig machine was purchase to make cappuccino. In
just days upwards of 25 cups have been sold producing a profit. Handy Mart is offering submarine
sandwiches for the snack bar for a dollar less than the current cost of stocking them. Details aren't clear
yet but it seems that Handy Marty has offered to allow the use of a heating appliance for the snack bar.
Further details to come. Dan underscored the importance of foods that have a long shelf life and fit into
the grab and go concept.
Commission members questioned if the best deals were being sought after to stock the snack bar. Dan
affirmed this by giving examples of bargains that have been found and locations where purchases have
been made. Open to other suggestion, 3 members shared ideas. 20% off coupons at Bed Bath and
Beyond
for Keurig "single cups" for hot beverages. Sam's Club, and Gordon Foods for other purchases.
The
possibility was suggested to get employees involved with the rewards program Gordon's offers
with
purchases.
3. Eighty-six % of the budget funded the scoreboard and snack bar construction materials and labor that
could not be completed by D.P.S.
4.
Six contractors showed up for a walk through for the City Park restrooms (pool house) to assess cost for
a renovation. Some heavy duty grade materials had been purchased prior to the walk through. A one
year extension has been granted by the C.D.B.G. The C.D.B.G. monies will not cover the cost of the roof
or the exterior. Bids should be coming in soon. Shooting for a winter start.
5.
Planning on pre bids for arena locker-rooms to start soon. Previous bids were too high during summer
months. Looking for competitive bids during the winter months with the hope of the demand on
construction being lower.
F. Program/Facility Reports
Softball
1. Fall softball league wrapped up. 34 teams competed this season. 186 games were played. Prior to this
season there was single elimination in the playoffs. This season tried a double elimination. Players
enjoyed the change. Plan on doing the same next season.
Ice Arena
2. The Crestwood Hockey League buying ice time for practices. Looking at the possibility of them buying ice
time for games. Fitting them into the schedule prove to be successful. Pucks and Sticks and figure
skating lost only half hour total each.
Garden City Park and Recreation Commission
Meeting Notes
Tuesday October 28, 2014
3.
Hockey tournament included players between the ages of 16-18 which is not a common occurrence.
Younger skaters are generally the norm. There were concerns with the use of the locker room with this
age group. All went well. Skaters were from throughout the U.S. Notably spectators were attentive and
serious about game play.
4.
Girls skate tryouts not as successful as hoped. 10 girls showed up.
5.
Westland Fire Dept. purchased ice time for Sunday mornings. This is unexpected revenue. No ice time
available in Westland is what brought them to G.C.
6.
Free style skate is subsidized it could use better attendance.
7.
Figure skating is now paying for ice time on Saturdays.
8.
Drop in and Glow Skate has been slow. Did have to cancel a Glow Skate session due to tournament.
9.
Learn to skate open house had a turnout of 50 kids 10 in which signed up.
10. Party room now available for rent for 25 an hour. Room currently rented for an up and coming birthday
party. Room available is the room used for commission meetings. Skating group rates available.
11. Trying some new things like chuck and puck, mini mites and coach games during programs as well as
free skating during sign ups is being considered.
Pavilions
12. September pavilion rentals were strong this year. Commission member asked, how did last year's
pavilion rentals compare to this year? Reply was about the same but stronger in the fall than before.
Member asked if rentals were listed on the website. It was stated in fact it is listed.
Commission member suggested notices go out to companies and organizations well in advance to see if
interested in early bird special to book pavilion time. It was indicated that was already being done and
included ice time as well. The possibility of moving this early bird date back from February to November
was briefly mentioned due to the demand in Feb. Dan stated other cities have begun doing this.
Dance
13. Attention was brought to the location of the dance and exercising programs within the packet. Still
handled by Lori. Commission member asked if Young Champions are included in programing at
Maplewood. Dan was unsure.
Basketball
14. Afterschool basketball program registration had a slow start but a strong finish. It will be held at the
middle school. An agreement is in place to allow basketball equipment to be borrowed.
G. Old Business
1.
In Dec. or Jan. there should be bids for locker rooms.
2. Outfield #2 is done. Mixed grass is growing. Should be good to go for the spring. May need to fill low
spots or holes with dirt. Will assess in the spring.
3.
Millage for 400,000 for parking lot repairs. Looking at bonding and or possible funding as a possibility.
Three parking lots in needed would be Arena lot, Maplewood C.C. lot and City Hall lot.
4.
Request for bids on the electrical park identification sign will be going out soon. Commission member
asked, what entrance will receive the sign? Dan replied, the entrance off Cherry Hill has electricity
running to it while Merrimen does not. Commission member felt Merriman road would attract more
attention because it runs north and south catching traffic traveling to the airport and Livonia. Another
member agreed pointing out it could be seen from the intersection better there as well.

the front end. Requesting a tire wash be added onto the zamboni to keep the tires free of debris before
entering the ice. Results to come. Zamboni should be back in a week.
2. Soccer grant could be becoming available through the resourcefulness of Monica. Consideration is for
lights or artificial turf at one of the soccer fields. A commission member wanted Rotatory Park to be
considered. Another member pointed out a field should be protected from someone being able to drive
onto it. Three members brought up concerns about artificial turf. Stating that cancer has been linked to
soccer players playing on artificial turf primarily goalies. 5 members spoke in agreement the lighting
would be better. One member thought it would allow for extended play. Another remarked it would be
safer. Another posed, would a neighborhood would allow it? Lights can be an annoyance.
3. Skate and play hockey being presented to Lathers Elementary. Saundra in the office interested in
discussing the possibility with the principal. Could result in a field trip. Commission member asked is
there enough skates for the children. Dan affirmed there was plenty giving an account to the number

into the fence and replace or repair the fencing surrounding the dumpster at Maplewood C.C. Dan stated
scout would need to contact him or Monica to see what the scout was interested in and or what could be
done at either location. Another commission member was interested in recruiting help from the scouts in

Subject:
Supplemental Appropriation
Attached please find a proposed ordinance for a supplemental appropriation for the purchase and
installation of the new Council/Court sound system as well as a future purchase of a Ultra Nexus HD
playback system for GCTV. The sound system is self-explanatory, while the playback system is a
continuation of our migration to high definition and will result in an improved video signal, even
with our standard def cable channels. That purchased is scheduled for February of 2015. The
sound system cost is $21,745, while the playback unit is expected to run approximately $20,000
with accessories.
The supplemental appropriation uses PEG fund balance. The City receives PEG funds from its three
cable television providers. Those funds can only be used for cable television related matters. Those
funds are in addition to the five percent franchise fees that do go directly to the City's general fund
in the amount of approximately $400,000 per year
Per the City's purchasing policy I am asking for approval from the Mayor and Council to make this
supplemental appropriation on behalf of the City.
