<br />City of Centerville <br />Parks and Recreation Meeting Minutes <br />December 1, 2021 <br /> <br />Committee Members were pleased with the success of this event; it was well received. The total <br />expenditures for this event including food, postcard invitations, Certificates of Appreciation and lap <br />blankets were approximately $1500. The consensus was to have the event in October, 2022. <br /> <br />There are several blankets and certificates left for those volunteers unable to make the event; it was <br />suggested that volunteer be contacted via email letting them know items are at City Hall for them to <br />retrieve. In addition, there are several blankets that may be used as give-aways at other park sponsored <br />events. <br /> <br />This event was pulled together quickly and was a great learning experience. Suggestions for 2022: <br />tracking of volunteers for events needed improvement, contact with business owners early in the year <br />was imperative to reach success as their budgets may have been limited and Administrator Statz would <br />determine if the 2022 budget could be increased in this area. <br /> <br />2. Staff Updates: M. Statz <br /> <br />a. The Administrator's Report was distributed to committee members. Administrator Statz stated <br />that he has interviewed candidates for the hiring of an Assistant City Administrator, but a final <br />candidate has yet to be determined. <br /> <br />b. Administrator Statz reported that the pleasure rink lighting was nearing completion with two (2) <br />additional lamps, on a separate switch being installed for additional lighting east and south of the <br />rink towards the playground. <br /> <br />3. Council Liaison Update – Ms. Lakso - NONE <br /> <br />4. Other: <br /> <br />a. ADA Playground Equipment: Ms. Kathy Freiermuth <br /> <br />Location(s) will need to be prioritized; Acorn and Laurie LaMotte are good candidates. It was suggested <br />that Administrator Statz, Public Works Director Palzer and Committee Member Freiermuth meet with a <br />couple of vendors to determine what types of equipment is available and the price ranges. <br /> <br />b. P & R Events Calendar: Ms. Heidi Errickson-Grahek <br /> <br />Committee Member Errickson-Grahek has completed the P & R Events calendar with the exception of <br />adding the Halloween Hustle Fun Run. This will be provided to City Clerk Bender for forwarding to <br />Committee Members for review. She is also developing a task sheet for each of the events that will serve <br />as a “How To” for planning subsequent events. <br /> <br />IX.
