PARKS, TRAILS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES <br /> March 17, 2009 <br /> Page 6 of 7 <br /> Chair Peck asked when the event was held in the past. Ms. Olson stated it was normally held in <br /> June but could be changed if desired. <br /> Mr. Straumann questioned if this event could be planned in three months for 2009. Ms. Olson <br /> indicated the subcommittee being formed would plan the event for 2010 as it was not in the <br /> budget for 2009. <br /> Mr. Messerly suggested the event be held early August of 2010 to improve chances the weather <br /> would cooperate. Ms. Olson agreed with this suggestion and asked for the members within the <br /> PTRC to contact her via email if they were interested in serving on this subcommittee. She <br /> explained the group would be expected to meet once monthly to assist in the planning of <br /> Celebrating Arden Hills. <br /> Ms. Hilgers and Chair Peck indicated they would be interested in serving on the subcommittee. <br /> Ms. Olson thanked these members for their interest and stated she would also seek additional <br /> members through the monthly newsletter. <br /> F.
