Parks & Recreation Committee <br /> Meeting Minutes <br />12-01-10 <br />continue to be used as a pleasure rink in the winter months. The committee would like Mr. Palzer to <br />confirm that a dual purpose would be possible. <br /> <br />Basket Ball on Hockey Rink <br /> <br />Mr. Palzer also suggested the committee consider a basketball court on the hockey rink during the <br />summer months. The committee was in favor of this idea and discussed variations; size of rink, how <br />would a basketball court fit and what type of hoops and equipment would be used. The committee would <br />like more information from Mr. Palzer as to his ideas on the above questions. <br /> <br />Program Promotion (Seeley) <br /> <br />Chairperson Branch provided the committee with a draft of a Parks & Recreation Handbook for review. <br />The objective is to create another way to publicize the Centerville social and recreation events. <br />Chairperson Branch felt it a good idea to include the events from other organizations that the committee <br />wants to endorse such as the Bald Eagle Water Ski Show, Centerville Lions Club Events or Wargo <br />Nature Center Programs. Chairperson Branch discussed this idea with Committee Member Seeley who <br />also had ideas on program promotion and presented both ideas to the committee. <br /> <br />There will be a cost factor associated with a catalog or fliers and the committee will have to bear the cost <br />or at least share it with some of the other groups. This can be discussed with the other groups as the <br />promotion ideas evolve. Committee Member Seeley had spoken with representatives of the Wargo <br />Nature Center regarding the possibility of a 2-sided flier with Parks & Recreation Committee events on <br />one side and Wargo events on the other. Committee Member Seeley stated that Wargo would love to get <br />more information about their programs out into the community. This flier could be mailed quarterly with <br />the utility bill to each Centerville residence. Wargo would consider paying for the cost of printing, with <br />the City mailing it out. The thought is this could be done quarterly with just the specific quarter’s events <br />included. One limitation is the number of pages that can go out with the utility billing (4) and that City <br />business such as the quarterly newsletter, Garage Sale/Clean-Up Day’s Registration, Fete des Lacs, etc. <br />would take precedence. <br /> <br />Chairperson Branch’s proposal is to create a handbook and update that handbook as the year develops; <br />the pages in the draft were place holders intended to illustrate the idea. Chairperson Branch would <br />coordinate with the other organizations and ask them to create their own pages in a similar format, with <br />one idea or event per page. That keeps the pages easy to read which make them more effective. <br /> <br />The committee is generally in favor of both these options and would like to continue discussion on the <br />item at the January committee meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />VI. UPDATES <br /> <br />The committee would like a discussion of a concession stand at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park be added <br />to the January agenda. <br /> <br />8K Run Website/Domain Name / Expenditure of Funds <br /> <br />Following is an email update from Chairperson Branch regarding the 8K Run website/domain <br />name, with a request to expend funds. <br />6 of 8 <br /> <br />
