~ Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 01-05-05 Fete des Lacs Parade Council Member Lee requested the Parks & Recreation Committee consider taking over the organization of the Fete des Lacs Parade as a committee. Since Mr. John Thill resigned as Parade Coordinator there has not been any person, committee or organization that has been willing to take over the job and after about 12 years of a summer festival parade there will not be a parade in 2005 if someone or some group does not take over the event shortly. The City has secured the permit necessary for the road closure in the event the parade moves forward. While some committee members felt willing to participate, the committee as a whole did not feel it had the time to take on this project, especially missing three (3) committee members at this time. It was suggested City Council try to organize a Festival Committee, perhaps with members from multiple existing committees, commissions, and community groups. Council Member Lee requested Ms. Stephan have a discussion of the parade added to the next City Council Agenda. 2005 Parks & Recreation Committee Chairoerson & Vice Chairoerson Motion was made by Committee Member Peil, seconded by Committee Member Seeley to retain the positions as they were in 2004 as Chairperson Peterson and Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Code of Ethics The committee was given a new City of Centerville Code of Ethics form which needs to be resigned on a yearly basis. Skate Nil!hts The committee discussed holding Skate Nights at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. The rinks have been open for a few weeks, are staffed during the warming house hours and the ice is currently in good condition. The committee will hold a Skate Night on Centerville Lake during Frozen Fete des Lacs on Friday, February, 18 from 7:00 to 10:00. The additional Skate Nights at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park will be held Friday, January 14 and Friday, January 28,2005 from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. Ms. Stephan will advertise these on cable, the city web site and the city sign. Ail Committee/Commission/Council Meetinl! Mayor Elect Capra requested the Parks & Recreation Committee discuss the possibility of canceling the regularly scheduled February 2, 2005 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting to hold an all Committee/Commission/Council Meeting on that date. The committee discussed what upcoming items were on their agenda and whether they needed to meet in February. The Grant Subcommittee needs to submit the 2005 Grant Application by February 28, 2005. The committee opted to make a the following motion at this time and if necessary, meet prior to the all committee meeting on February 2, 2005 to discuss any changes to the grant application. Motion was made by Committee Member Peil, seconded by Chairperson Peterson to request the Grant Subcommittee make the necessary changes to the 2004 Grant Application and recommend to City Council the Grant Application be submitted by February 28, 2005.
