The outdoor pools are being prepared for opening day on Saturday,June 16t". Staff are being hired and trained for all the various summer programs and facilities. 3. Current Program enrollment numbers, as of June 8' are as follows: June 8th 2011 June 3rd, 2010 June 4th, 2009 Hommocks Playground 386 400 363 Camp Monroe 100 100 100 Preschool Camp 62 93 114 Golf Instruction/Camp 27/11 21/11 45/15 Soccer Camp 34 33 45 Swim Team 57 66 62 Tennis Camp 118 144 142 Swim Lessons 69 91 102 Extended Day 10 22 64 MSC in Training 20 20 20 Chairman Druker inquired whether the lower enrollment numbers for Preschool Camp were affected by the $50 fee increase from last year. He suggests lowering the fee for next summer to see if that brings the enrollment numbers up. Ms. Fisher noted that lowering the fee would mean reinstating the subsidy unless significant expenses could be cut. She suggested investigating the possibility of having only 5 year olds at Monroe next year. This would then potentially increase the numbers at the Pre-School Camp site hosting the 3 thru 5 year olds.

Enclosed is a copy of the minutes from the June 8th, 2010 Recreation Commission meeting that references the resolution made endorsing the purchase of the Industrial System over the Commercial System for the ice rink renovations. 16. Steve Altieri and I attended a meeting on May 31'with Mamaroneck Schools Superintendent, Robert Shaps regarding the planned repaving project of the Hommocks School parking lot. Apparently this isn't a re-paving project but a full reconstruction project that will take place all summer long. BUDGET AND RINK UPDATE: Town Administrator, Stephen V. Altieri informed the Commission that the Town is preparing for the 2012 budget with the 2%tax cap in place. He also discussed the possibility of turning the Recreation Department into a Enterprise Revenue Fund, which would mean that the Department was self sufficient and required no tax subsidy. Although the Recreation Department covers all its' operating expenses, it is not covering employee benefits and pensions of approximately$130,000. This type of operation would then allow for any excess revenue to remain with the Department, thus creating its' own Capital Reserve Fund. Chairman Druker inquired about what the Commission's role would be in this type of restructuring. Mr. Altieri assured the Commission that there would be no change in their role and responsibilities. Since this is more of an accounting issue, all of the changes would really be behind the scenes. Town of Mamaroneck Recreation Commission Meeting Minutes June 14, 2011 - Page 3 Hammock's Pool Bill Ms. Fisher updated the Commission on the Hommock's Pool usage bill. She stated the Town is still unwilling to pay the three previous pool bills because clarification is still needed. Ms. Fisher has urged the new schools superintendent to create an hourly rate for usage. This would help to determine how the Town uses the pool in the future. Hommocks Park Ice Rink Feasibility Study: Mr. Lunde discussed the two potential phases for the ice rink renovation project. Phase one would consist of replacing the ice mat system, dasher-boards, arena lighting, dehumidification and new portable floor. Phase two would consist of the roof coating and the mechanical system. Chairman Druker, questions the dangers of not acting on these phases in a timely manner. Mr. Lunde explained that the inadequate dehumidification system is the biggest threat at this time. The Commission is still unanimously in favor of the Industrial System over the Commercial System. 2010-2011 FALL-WINTER PROGRAM FEES: On a motion by Commissioner Plansky, seconded by Chairman Druker, the following program fees were unanimously adopted for the 2011-2012 Fall-Winter season.
