center" in the meeting rooms after school each day. The Community Center did have some issue
with youth fighting on the outside grounds and then moving indoors. Many ofth<i individuals
involved are students that have been warned for their behavior in the past, therefore ACC staff
did proceed and discipline 3 youth according to code of conduct policy.

Show Committee and they are on-board with the facility charging an additional administrative
fee for Cindy's participation with registering exhibitors. Cindy has also increased marketing and

stand had an extremely good weekend.

opened a corporate acct at Costco and is purchasing a large portion of candy items at big cost
savmgs.

Not knowing facility schedules - Cindy will provide the commission with the areas that are
currently being utilized. Could LT. obtain individual's email addresses and email them when

YMCA members wanting their membership to include field house use: Exchange the use of
YMCA staff in lieu of letting members in field house at no charge.
More Senior Programs - Approach Andover Sr. Center, educate them on the walking program,
offer Sr. Skates, etc.

survey data.
