City of Centerville <br />Parks & Recreation Committee <br />August 1, 2012 <br />Ms. Cindy Feist, 7305 Deer Pass Drive, requested the use of Hidden Spring Park for <br />her son’s wedding. Staff has secured the required $100 deposit. <br /> <br />Motion was made by Committee Member Grahek, seconded by Committee Member <br />Amundsen to accept the request for the use of Hidden Spring Park on August 18, 2012 <br />from 11:30am to 2:00pm. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />UPDATES <br /> VI. <br /> <br />1. Council Updates - Council Liaison King <br />None. <br />2. Kiosk Inserts – K. Amundsen <br />Tabled to September meeting. <br />3. Smart Phone Application – B. Peterson <br />Committee Member Peterson gave a brief update that he has been searching for a Q.R. code <br />and will continue working on this application. There was an explanation of how this <br />application works on an iPhone. <br /> <br />4. 8K Walk/Run/In-Line/Kids Fun Run <br />Chairperson Branch thanked all of the Committee Members who assisted with this activity <br />on July 28, 2012 and gave a report of the event. He had several volunteers who assisted <br />setting up and along the route. He suggested that in 2013 the event should end at Hidden <br />Springs Park which is close to the starting point. There were 10 less skaters this year, but <br />there were more than 10 additional runners, with the total of 121 participants, up 3 from <br />2011. The revenue for the day was $2,640 with expenses of $1,572 for a net income of <br />$1,068 as of race day. There is still approximately $500 - $600 not yet received from a few <br />sponsors; reminder calls were made by City Staff. Some additional expenses incurred in <br />2012 for this event were the registration of the domain name, the certification of the route <br />(every 10 years) and the purchase of directional signs. Additional information: for 2013, Mr. <br />Brad Griffith, a volunteer, has offered to do help with sponsors and Committee Member <br />Haiden will emcee the awards ceremony. <br />The Committee then reviewed several aspects of this event and some suggestions being <br />made for 2013: <br /> <br /> More delegation of tasks to volunteers with Chairperson coordinating; <br /> <br /> Move the water station to the entrance of the circle at Wargo; <br /> <br /> Should the skate be held in 2013 as there were only 29 participants? This event <br />generated about $500 after expenses and involves a great deal of work; <br /> <br /> Advertise and promote earlier; <br /> <br /> Post signage at intersecting paths to prevent park walker & bicycle traffic from <br />interfering with the race participants; <br /> <br /> Better signage for restrooms & announce locations at start of the race; <br />Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
