City of Centerville Park and Recreation Committee WS & Meeting Minutes February 7, 2024 3. Main Street Market City Clerk Bender informed committee members that a permanent sign is allowed per city code and has made efforts to obtain a quote from the person who previously provided a sign for the Bald Eagle Water Ski Club but has not yet received a reply. She will continue to follow up. She estimates the sign shouldn’t be more than $300 and to help defray this expense, there is a $5 fee increase for each event. Currently there are 3 vendors who have signed up. Motion made by Committee Member Peterson, seconded by Committee Member Errickson- Grahek to recommend to the City Council to approve the expenditure of up to $300 for the purchase and installation of a permanent sign for Main Street Market. All in favor. Motion carried. VI. NEW BUSINESS 1. Park Permit Application A second application was received on behalf of Scout Troop 136 to use the hockey rinks, lighting and warming house at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park on Saturday, February 17th from 9:00 am to 11:30 am.

All in favor. Motion carried. 2. Logo Contest for Fêté des Lacs 5/8 K Runs and Paddle Event T-Shirts This community festival has been co-coordinated by the City of Centerville and the Centerville Lions Club. In 2024, the Lions Club will be coordinating the “Lions Share” of the Fete des Lacs festivities. They will continue to not be involved in the P & R run or paddle events. Ms. Lonnie Olson has been coordinating the Logo Contest the past few years but is looking to step down from this role. In the past, the P & R Committee has allocated $350 as prize money for winners from both the elementary and middle schools: $100.00 each for first place winners, $50.00 each for second place winners and $25.00 each for honorable mention winners. If a volunteer from the P & R Committee would be willing to coordinate the Logo Contest, then that person could work with the Lions regarding their theme for the festival, contacting the schools and finding people to judge the entries, among other duties. Staff will provide entry forms, letters, certificates, and other support as needed. As a Lion, Council Liaison Sweeney will check with the Lions, at their next meeting, if they would like to continue to use the winning logo(s) on the Fete des Lacs marketing materials. Page 4 of 6
