APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the October meeting were approved as mailed. CORRESPONDENCE There was no correspondence. ITEM 1- MADDUX PARK RENOVATION Superintendent Hover spoke about a conversation between Manager Mike Gibbons and Donna Habeeb regarding guidelines that the Maddux Park Renovation group should follow regarding project donations received from stores or corporations. Deirdre Mitra spoke on behalf of Donna Habeeb regarding this matter and stated the group is interested in selling bricks and hand tiles as part of the fundraising effort for the park renovation. She noted that there is not room for corporate logos on bricks but was concerned about donations of picnic tables and how the companies would be recognized. Ms. Mitra was considering placing plaques on tables or benches with the name of the company on them and would not include a logo. Superintendent Hover explained that the plaques should be done the same way as a public donation of a bench or table. Ms. Mitra spoke about locations for the bricks to be installed including a sidewalk leading to the play equipment area. There was discussion about switching the prices of the tiles and the bricks in order to make them more attractive to purchases. Superintendent Hover mentioned that Susie Peyton stated she would be willing to work with the Maddux Park Renovation group if they were interested. It was announced that Henry Ford School and Kennedy Middle School have adopted Maddux Park and Commissioner Joseph stated she would help with the coordination of the school liaisons and the renovation group. ITEM 2 - STULSAFT PARK UPDATE Superintendent Hover reported that a draft recommendation report was received and there will be a meeting on Thursday, November 18 at 3:00pm at the CAB to discuss the report before submitting it to the County.
