Board approves minutes and a High Point fee-waiver request; one abstention recorded
Summary
The Gahanna Parks & Recreation Board approved the meeting minutes and granted a fee waiver request from High Point for use of the Friendship Park gazebo; Chrissy Kaminski abstained from the waiver vote.
The Gahanna Parks & Recreation Board voted to approve the previous meeting minutes and to grant a fee-waiver request from High Point for use of the Friendship Park gazebo.
Board members approved the minutes by roll call vote. Later in the meeting, a motion to approve a fee-waiver request for High Point was made and seconded; the board approved the request with one abstention. Jan Ross, Eric Miller, Harvey McCluskey, Kevin McGinn and Donna Simmons voted yes on the fee waiver; Chrissy Kaminski recorded an abstention.
The waiver request was for use of the Friendship Park gazebo for a High Point group that planned a brief lunch stop after visiting the log house and before returning by bus. Staff said the gazebo is rented less frequently than larger shelters and that rental pricing is sold in block periods (for example, 10 a.m.–2 p.m. or 4 p.m.–8 p.m.) rather than hourly. Staff described the intended use as roughly a short lunch stop and said the gazebo’s capacity is smaller than larger shelters; one board member described it informally as about 25 people.
No additional conditions were recorded in the motion; the board did not request further study or referral on the matter.
