Parks,Trails&Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes November 20,2012 <br /> Page 3 <br /> Acting Chair Scott asked that Ms. Olson send an e-mail to the members who were not <br /> present so they can finalize the 2013 goals in December and January. <br /> Committee Member O'Malley suggested the committee seek input from the Arden Hills <br /> citizens on what they would like to see the PTRC working on. <br /> Acting Chair Scott questioned whether the committee do this via calling the residents, <br /> using survey monkey to create a survey or have neighborhood meetings where people <br /> could provide input. <br /> C. Other Unfinished Business <br /> Committee Member Messerly informed that progress has been made with Arden Manor. <br /> He indicated the play structure area has been cleaned as well as the shelter. Mr. Messerly <br /> reported the new manager has a committee of concerned parents that are interested in <br /> working to take care of the park. <br /> 4. NEW BUSINESS <br /> A. Recreation Statistics—Spring/Summer 2012 <br /> Ms. Olson provided spring/summer recreation statistics. There were a total of 1,301 <br /> participants which is up 87 from 2011. The statistics do not include the adult softball <br /> program which has been flourishing as well. <br /> Ms. Olson reported that she has moved the dance program to the Arden Hills City Hall <br /> which was a savings to the City as well as to the participants. <br /> Committee Member Messerly questioned those classes where 0 or 1 were enrolled and <br /> was wondering if it is cost effective to run those classes. <br /> Ms. Olson indicated those are classes that Arden Hills holds in cooperation with <br /> Shoreview. She indicated they will not run a class for just one person and have an <br /> established minimum for programs, depending on the type of class, if it is a cooperative <br /> effort with another City and overall cost of the program. <br /> Ms. Holden questioned the difference between those classes indicating 0 and those <br /> showing NA. She also asked on which classes were done in cooperation with Shoreview. <br /> Ms. Olson reported that 0 meant the class was offered but did not have any enrollees and <br /> N/A indicated the class was not offered. She stated that the spring break camps and most <br /> senior activities are a joint effort with Shoreview. <br /> Ms. Holden asked that Ms. Olson highlight the classes that are joint classes and send <br /> back the results to the committee members. <br />
