Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes August 2, 2006 v. COMMITTEE BUSINESS Nomination for Chairperson of the Parks & Recreation Committee Committee Member Seeley nominated Committee Member Amundsen for the Chairperson position vacated by Chairperson Peterson's resignation from the committee. Committee Member Amundsen respectfully declined, feeling a more senior member should be nominated for the position. Committee Member Peil had considered resigning from the committee as work obligations and schedule has kept her from attending meetings on a regular basis and she felt it was unfair to the committee. The committee discussed that this would leave only three (3) members on the committee and if the committee should dissolve for lack of participation there would be many things left undone as far as parks and trails are concerned. Committee Member Peil agreed to wait on her resignation until the committee was able to recruit more members. Committee Member Peil accepted Committee Member Seeley's nomination for the position of Chairperson, as well as nominating Committee Member Seeley as Vice-Chairperson. Committee Member Seeley accepted the position of Vice-Chairperson and agreed to chair the meeting if Chairperson Peil was unable to attend.

Ms. Stephan will send an email to businesses informing them of the openings and that business owners are able to be on the committee as long as they have a business in Centerville.
