Update Items:
Well-ness Program for the City of Monticello - Kitty Baltos reported to the Board that our
insurance agent said that no premium reduction would be available to the City for having a
well-ness program. Evidence has shown that well documented and used well-ness
programs do reduce the number of claims made to the insurance company which could be
used as a future negotiating item, however, there would be no guaranteed premium
reduction. The Board felt that this put a City employee Community Center membership on
hold indefinitely.
5. Review trophy case design provided by Custom Cabinets. Kitty Baltos presented the plan
provided by Dale Theis of Custom Cabinets for two sections of trophy case. Their measurements
would be seven feet high and four feet wide each. They would have safety glass with a lock on the
top and a locking cabinet on the bottom for storage. Each unit would cost $1,675 or $3,350 plus
tax. The Board was please with the designed and the consensus was to order the cabinets after
Kitty Baltos reviewed some of Custom Cabinets previous work.
6. Discussion on locker room break-ins and possible proactive solutions before the "busy" season.
Kitty Baltos presented information on the two break-ins that happened that week and how the staff
and police handled the situation. Kitty spoke with the police to put in place deterrents to future
break-in. The Board was sorry to know that this was happening, however, felt that the burden was
on the patron to use the locking system available on every locker. As of this week, signs are
posted regarding the thefts and to lock lockers. Quarters are being made available to those who do
not have them. The staff is required to perform more frequent locker room checks. There were no
other suggestions from the Board beyond the current procedures.
7. Mississippi Room Fence - Kitty Baltos reported that the item was approved by the City Council,
however, it was removed from the consent agenda due to questions by one of the Council
members. The questions were satisfactorily answered and the motion was approved 4-1 by the
Council. MLC Construction was not able to get the underground work done before the snow fell
or will not be able to before the end of the year. Kitty Baltos requested that MLC make the this
project the first project in the Spring of 2004. Mike Cyr, MLC, did say that it would be.
Financial review through November 2003 - The City had not yet closed the books for November
so Kitty Baltos provided the information that is tracked internally by her staff. This included
passes sold for 2003 (1,014), visitors to the Community Center (95,820) and deposit revenues
through November ($654,269.25). All of this numbers exceed the number in 2002.
9. MOTION by Dick Quick to adjourn the meeting at 5:20 p.m., SECOND by Tom Neumann,
MOTION Passed and meeting adjourned.
