Staff Issues/Concerns

1.        Much larger television and floor mats for exercise classes; Great participation!

2.        Seeking ways to implement a more stringent protocol for offenses committed by patrons of the HWHCC

3.        Two-way Radios

4.       Talked with Director about the lack of an equipment budget, planned to present a complete list of future projects and equipment needed to City Council in an attempt to gain their assistance in moving this department forward.

5.     Significant drop in children attending center, typical during this time of year. There is an increase in adult participation in Parkers' exercise program and other forms of adult recreation. 

6.    Kitchen stove needs to be replaced.

7.     Budget Compliance  

8.     Leak @ HWHMGC 

9.     Security during the Police Fundraising Games; suggest a more proactive approach of having units onsite before the crowd arrives. The turnouts are good for the community. It is essential that we maintain a comfortable level of security in order to provide a venue that promotes positive social interactions as well as recreation for all demographics.
