There was considerable discussion on how best to use the remaining funds. The conclusion was to wait until after the Movies -in- the -Park event expense had been paid before making any recommendation to Council. The range of possible uses is to set the funds aside for park signage, paid the difference between the funds Rob Faust can raise to pay for the flag pole lighting and actual cost, or to buy advertising space for the Festival of the Lakes 8K events. No motion was made. Issue tabled until the October meeting Fete des Lacs 8K Events Selection of Date for 2012 8K Events Chairperson Branch stated The Minnesota Distant Running Association, who is our best source of free advertising, is pushing for 2012 dates. MDRA publishes an annual calendar that is widely distributed to Minnesota runners. It is important than we get listed on that calendar. Chairperson Branch initially felt the logical date for 2012 Fete de Lacs would be July 27 -29 with the parade and the run on Saturday July 28 but there has been some discussion from Ms. Mary Capra, Parade Coordinator, Mr. Bob Cordell, Ham Radio Club and Mr. Greg Keiselhorst, Centerville Lions, regarding the scheduling of events. Upon discussion the consensus of the committee was to keep the 8K Run, In -Line Skate Race and Kids Run tied to the Fete des Lacs week -end and that the best day for the event is Saturday. Motion: Chairperson Branch made a motion to keep the 8K Run, InLine Skate Race, an Kids Run on the Saturday of Fete des Lacs week -end. For 2012 the best week end for Fete des Lace is 27 -29 July. The motion was seconded by On September 14 the City Council approve the above motion. Fete des Lacs 2012 Race Logo Chairperson Branch wanted the committee to review the two proposed logos. They are both modifications to our current logo for the run. Committee Member Amundsen made the first modifications. The t -shirt designer used by Creative Kids has,embellished Committee Member Amundsen's modifications. This discussion did not end with a motion. The committee favors the more detailed logo. There remains some concern as to how the logo may look on a shirt if used at the same font size on the 2010 and 2011 shirts. 2012 Parks & Recreation Budget for City Council Review Budget Discussion Prepared for the September 2011 Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting 1.
