Museum.
Becky Glisson (Finance): The budget is ending next week for the fiscal year.
We will have a report for you when the final budget is complete. Our Budget
Analyst is new and we are doing year end matters so we have not had the
opportunity to get her to come to our meetings. We will do so soon.
The Natatorium is doing great! Participation has increased substantially and
so has revenue. When the budget closes, I will give update as to revenue.
James Worsley: (Director): Council approved the RSVP grant for the next
fiscal year. There were also 20 other grants on the agenda and we had the
Boxwood grant for our department. It was also approved.
Carl Brown said he watched the Council meeting and discussion was held about
that meeting.
We also received awards that some of staff will be attending the banquets to
receive these awards.
NACO awards were the Spanish Club and the TR Inclusive Garden Program and
NACPRO awards were for the Ma Rainey House. The City of Columbus has also been
names as a Playful City USA. We are proud of all of these awards.
Tommy Groce (Park Services): We are down another lawn mower. It is
approximately $900 to have it repaired. We are trying to stay on schedule as
best we can without the proper equipment.
We have a large tournament at South Commons and Northside this weekend.
