IV. STAFF REPORTS
Michael presented financial highlights via power point which information was not available in time to be
presented at the last meeting. Starting with'theNon- Reverting Park Funds report of $10,661,026.00 in
reserves, Michael explained that of such total, $7,706,409.79 is held by Clay Township and that all but
$2,187.00 of that total is currently dedicated to park projects and /or programs. He referenced the specific
projects and programs. as set forth ina.handout entitled "Clay Township Funds Assessment Report" (attached
as Appendix A which also addressed projected 2011 revenues and an appropriations summary. He next
reported that (a) January ESE up by more than $100,000.00 with expenses (attributed mostly to
personnel costs) up by approximately $10,000.00 reflect 100% cost recovery; (b) as regards the MCC, both
January 2011 and a 12 month trailing financial, reflect 100% cost recovery. He attributed significant cost
recovery increases to favorable weather and efficiencies such as centralized purchasing and the change from
Area Specific to All Encompassing Passes, effective long enough to chart a positive trend; (c) as CCPR apparel
was ready for replacement, the time is ripe to follow the professional lead of some national brands with a single
color shirt and pant combination for all CCPR staff: navy shirts of various styles bearing the CCPR logo, tan
khaki pants, closed toe shoes and a name tag. Mark next presented the contract status of both the Pepsi
Exclusive Beverage Provider Contract and the Ritz Charles Exclusive Catering Contract, reporting that both at
different times this spring, would automatically for 1 year unless the Board elected to terminate with a 60 day
notice. He recommended that the Board allow the extensions as Staff is pleased with the performance of both
providers. He also reported that a comprehensive contract summary would soon be ready for distribution. After
discussion, including recent concerns lodged in California about the use of caramel coloring in soda and what
action if any was preferred to allow the automatic Term extensions of the Contracts, President Miller suggested
that if any member wanted to offer a motion to add consideration of the contracts to the Action Items, they were
free to do so and that otherwise, the contracts would extend by their own terrns.

provided a handout for all board members present which is included as Attachment A to
these minutes.
