<br />Parks & Recreation Committee <br />Meeting Minutes 06-02-04 <br /> <br />Ms. Dubats left 10 kits at City Hall complete with everything needed to complete the project. <br />These kits will need to be used in a timely manner so they can be passed on to the next city. <br />Centerville is the first city to do this in our district <br /> <br />An email was sent to all Committee Members, Commission Members, City Council, City Staff <br />and the Centerville Lions regarding the stenciling program requesting volunteers. To date we <br />have had no requests for further information or offers to volunteer. This information is on the <br />city sign, cable and the web site. The city was able to order 1,000 educational door knockers in <br />florescent green. The door knockers cost $182.60 per 1,000 of which was paid for from the <br />storm water fund. The Rice Creek Water District supplied door knockers, but they needed to be <br />printed or copied, and cut. Ordering the knockers already printed & cut seemed a more feasible <br />use of time and resources. Ms. Dawn Dubats dropped off some corrected versions of the <br />information previously supplied in the kits, as well as a display to be put in the foyer of City Hall <br />to explain what the program is about. The committee each took areas of the city to complete. <br />This needs to be completed in the next month or so as the kits supplied by the RCWD need to be <br />passed on to the next city involved in the program. Some areas won't be stenciled because of <br />road construction and overlay. Private roads will not be done. <br /> <br />Community Gardeninl! <br /> <br />The plot behind City Hall is still available for this purpose. The information is on cable, the web <br />site and the city sign. No inquiries at this time. <br /> <br />Donation from Bonestroo to Parks & Recreation Committee <br /> <br />A donation was made of $275 to the Parks & Recreation Committee by Bonestroo. A letter of <br />thanks was sent by the City Administration <br /> <br />Pre-Bud2et Planninl! Discussion <br /> <br />Pre-budget planning discussion was added to the agenda at the request of Chairperson Peterson <br />just to get the committee started thinking about next years budget which City Council typically <br />requires in August or September. Chairperson Peterson would like the committee to be prepared <br />to work on this item at the next scheduled committee meeting. <br /> <br />VII. UPDATES <br /> <br />Subcommittees <br /> <br />Grants <br /> <br />Committee Member Seeley reported that nothing has been heard at this time concerning the DNR <br />Trail Grant which was submitted by the Parks & Recreation Committee in February 2004. <br />Committee Member Ziegler questioned the amount allocated in the budget for the matching <br />Clearwater Trail Grant at $60,000 as he thought it was $75,000. Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc <br />stated the City Council authorized up to $150,000 dependant on how much the grant would <br />actually be given for. Therefore the amount could be $50,000 to $75,000. The target date to let <br />the city know was given as July 1,2004. <br /> <br />40f6 <br />
