The playground equipment that residents selected has been ordered. <br />The bid will be awarded in April, after Council approval. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson provided a draft of the Park Maintenance Plan for this summer. <br />The plan includes a priority list. <br /> <br />Committee Member Olson asked if any of these projects need volunteers. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said this is a list of projects. If someone reaches out to <br />volunteer, we can show them the list. These are items that have been identified as tasks <br />volunteers can do. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Rousseau asked if there was a count on how many volunteers are working with <br />the Great River Greening project. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson did not know the number of volunteers or if there is a need to <br />recruit more. He will find out and report back. <br /> <br />Committee Member Hilding pointed out the information states Great River Greening is a <br />contracted project. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said Floral Park was adopted by the Rotary. Staff is currently <br />exploring options for a sign to recognize the Rotary has adopted the park. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding when newsletter issues come out and newsletter topics that could be <br />submitted to support the PTRC events. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Rousseau will provide a list of article topics with the months the PTRC thinks <br />they should run. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding park and recreation part time positions and how Arden Hills <br />compares with surrounding communities for pay. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said he is receiving applications already. He opened <br />registration for some of the larger programs. He said the recreation software doesn’t offer an <br />option to email past participants easily. Marketing can be an issue.
