<br />Parks & Recreation Committee <br />Meeting Minutes 03-05-03 <br /> <br />3. Grants Update <br /> <br />Committee Member Peil met with City Administrator Moore-Sykes to discuss the possibility of <br />applying for grants and was told it was too late to submit any grants for 2003. The process needs to be <br />started in the fall of the year prior to applying. Committee Member DeVine stated there is no money in <br />the budget for matching grants and the state is proposing cuts so it didn't make sense to apply for <br />grants. Committee Member Peil said the grants should be applied for every year regardless as and this <br />gives the city a better chance of getting a grant when money is available. The committee will start <br />looking at previous grants around budget time so modifications and updates can be made in preparation <br />of applying in 2004. <br /> <br />4. Earth Dav Celebration <br /> <br />Chairperson DeVine suggested the committee be involved with Earth Day on April 19, 2003. In <br />previous years the committee picked up parks and gave wild flower seeds, pop, cookies and balloons <br />away. She would like the committee to do something similar this year. This will be put 'on the next <br />agenda to determine the exact activities. <br /> <br />Motion was made by Chairperson DeVine, seconded by Committee Member Peil to recommend <br />to council expending funds not to exceed $150.00 in association with Earth Day events planned at <br />local parks. All in Favor: Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Motion was made by Committee Member LeBlanc, seconded by Committee Member Seeley, to <br />adjourn the March 5, 2003 Parks and Recreation Meeting at 8:25 p.m. All in Favor: Motion <br />carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Transcribed by Kim Stephan <br /> <br />50f5 <br />
