Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes May 17, 2022 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br /> <br />Staff Liaison Vaughan said he could also put the code at the pavilions and shelters. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Committee Member Kelliher and seconded by Committee Member <br />Beggin to brainstorm ideas for questions and discuss them at the next meeting, and to <br />continue to look into QR codes. Motion passed unanimously. <br /> <br />C. Recruitment Plan <br /> <br />Chair Hinton wanted to discuss current or future ideas for recruiting new members to the <br />committee. She noted ideas were on the memo. <br /> <br />Committee Member Beggin said as they are talking to people in the parks they can ask if they <br />have any interest in volunteering or getting involved with PTRC. <br /> <br />Committee Member Dietz thought they could come up with a short handout about what is <br />involved in being on the committee. He would come up with a draft. <br /> <br />D. Volunteer Update <br /> <br />Chair Hinton said she talked with Committee Member Poelzer who has agreed to be the volunteer <br />coordinator liaison between groups and staff, and is already working with five groups. Committee <br />Member Poelzer would like to notify Council Liaison Scott when she gets groups volunteering for <br />tasks so he can tell the rest of the Council. Committee Member Poelzer would like to figure out a <br />gesture of appreciation for volunteers such as an Arden Hills mug because she feels it goes a long <br />way with getting people to return as volunteers and getting more volunteers. Committee Member <br />Poelzer understands she needs to let staff know when groups are working but would anyone from <br />staff be there? <br /> <br />Assistant Public Works Director Miller stated the idea of communicating with staff was to make <br />sure they had the supplies they needed for the project. <br /> <br />Chair Hinton said Committee Member Poelzer would like to see the volunteer forms updated. <br /> <br />Staff Liaison Vaughan explained there were two groups from Boston Scientific, and one from <br />Gradient, one from a church from Washington that will be visiting in July. He wasn’t sure what <br />the other group was. <br /> <br />Chair Hinton thanked Committee Member Poelzer for her work thus far. <br />E. Park Reports <br /> <br />Chair Hinton reported that the amenities on the list were correct for Arden Manor Park. There are <br />no lids on the trash cans, no nets on the basketball hoops, a large crack in the concrete at the picnic <br />shelter, the playground was in good shape, and there was plenty of mulch. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen noted that park is scheduled for full <br />replacement and a design consultant is working on it now. They are taking soil borings and from
