Recreation Committee Minutes <br />April 09, 1997 <br />The Recreation Committee meeting came to order on Wednesday, April 09, 1997 at 7:35 PM in <br />the Conference Room at Reading Town Hall. Committee members in attendance included Chris <br />Campbell, Lorraine Salter, Claire Bolger, John Pacino, Sue Cavicchi, and Kate Kaminer. Also in <br />attendance was Recreation Administrator Joe Connelly. <br />Salter made a motion to approve the minutes of the Wednesday, March 19, 1997 meeting, <br />Kaminer seconded the motion, approved 5-0-1. <br />New Business: <br />Connelly reviewed the FY97 End of Season Report. <br />Connelly explained that Recreation programming generated $6,350 in excess surplus a total of <br />$39,762. Connelly stated that the initial goal was to generate $33,412 in surplus. <br />Connelly stated that the success of Sunday Basketball, Travel Basketball, and Various Clinics <br />directly attributed to the year end surplus. <br />Kaminer asked Connelly to explain why each program was financially successful. <br />Connelly explained that Sunday Basketball had almost 100 more participants than was estimated. <br />This in itself generated an extra $5,000. <br />Salter asked which age groups had the largest increase in participation. <br />Connelly stated the girls division had almost 60 more individuals participate. <br />Connelly reviewed how the Travel Basketball Program was able to generate it's surplus. <br />Connelly explained that the Travel Basketball schedule is broken down into 6 blocks per Saturday <br />and 3 blocks per Sunday. Recreation estimates the use of each block for game purposes in order <br />to establish a participation fee. Connelly stated that if all 9 blocks are not utilized in a weekend <br />Recreation saves money. <br />Connelly also reviewed programs that lost money, such as the Ski Program, Odyssey of the <br />Minds, and Trips. <br />Connelly explained that because the ski program now starts at grade 3 and not grade 6, the middle <br />school program has decreased in participation. Connelly hopes that the change in site to Nashoba <br />Valley will increase participation. <br />
