These are my thoughts. There is no way that I have covered everything. But this <br /> covers the basics; and if we did cover everything, we would probably wear out our <br /> welcome with the Council. Sometimes less is better than complete. <br /> 2) The other important issues is getting those park benches in place. Paul and Dallas <br /> tells us there is a $1300 bill that has to be paid to put the two benches on new concert <br /> pads. Dallas confirmed that he sees this as a parks and rec bill to pay. He also <br /> suggested that we could avoid 90% of that bill by mounting the benches on the concert <br /> circle that is already in- place. <br /> Suzanne and I looked at the placement of the benches on the existing concert. We <br /> liked Dallas' suggestion. In fact, it looked better that setting the benches off of the <br /> circle. It preserves the lines. There is more than adequate room for the benches and <br /> other people to walk by. <br /> My recommendation is to adopted Dallas' suggestion. <br /> I have talked to Mike Jeziorski and asked that whatever expense there is to place those <br /> benches be paid come from the parks program line. We have funds in that line and <br /> using that line keeps the money in the reserve account that we can eventually used for <br /> the volleyball court. <br /> 3) Volleyball Court - the good news is that we got the $5000 donations from Dead <br /> Broke Saddle Club. We also have a new cost estimate at about $16,000. We have <br /> about $11,000 in the reserve accounts. So we remain $4000 short of the goal. We can <br /> reasonable expect to earn $2000 from the 81( run. <br /> 4) Festival of the Lakes 8K Run /Skate and kids fun run is on track. I have not asked <br /> Teresa for a specific number. We always get the majority of participants signing up on <br /> race day. <br /> We will have some expenses this year than are greater than in the past but will not be <br /> repeated next year: <br /> 1) I have paid for the domain name and hosting for the next couple of years. I think the <br /> decision to use the City's website for on -line registration is working well and saving <br /> our participants some money. If that works out, maybe we can do away with our <br /> unique website. <br /> 2) I have made some changes in the course. We will start and finish at the same <br /> location in LaMotte park. The course changes means a new route survey at a cost of <br /> $175. We will not repeat that survey for the next 5 years. <br /> 3) We purchased a bunch of signs to mark the course. The idea is to use signs rather <br /> than depend on volunteers. <br /> 4) I have spent less that $100 on advertising. I don't have much confidence that the <br /> paid ads result in enough new runners to pay the cost of advertising. <br /> 5) On the other hand, I have gone to three races and handed out flyers to skaters and <br /> runners and talked to a lot of people. Our winner of last years skate race has been a <br />
