<br />Parks & Recreation Committee <br />Meeting Minutes January 2, 2008 <br /> <br />'rules' the committee would like posted at the parks. While the City Code already exists to <br />regulate these rules the committee felt having it posted makes it easier for police to enforce. <br />The committee would also like signs stating the picnic tables are not to be moved as they are <br />heavy and it would be difficult for those wanting to use the tables in the pavilions to move them <br />once they were moved outside of the pavilion area. <br /> <br />Motion was made by Chairpenon Seeley, seconded by Committee Member Selander, to <br />request City Co_eil ad tile City Attorney review the work the committee has do.e on <br />the Park Rules and incorporate into City Code where speeified. AD in favor. Motion <br />carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Summer Pro2rams <br /> <br />In past years there have been very successful programs held in Centerville through Wargo <br />Nature Center and the YMCA, but there were also programs that had to be cancelled due to <br />lack of participation. The committee is concerned about the challenges of the CSAH 14 detour <br />and cutting off Wargo Natme Center and the YMCA from our community. The committee <br />would like to have offerings of summer programs to the community. Council Member Lee <br />suggested contacting Ollie & Company regarding a potential skate board show/competition, <br />perhaps in June. The committee discussed the possibility of using this as a fund raiser for Parks <br />& Recreation by renting infl~tJlhle jumpers for the younger children and selling concessions. <br />Council Member Lee suggested contacting the EDA and having local businesses sponsor this <br />event Committee Member Harris will contact Council Member Lakso who is president of the <br />EDA and discuss this idea. Council Member Lee will contact Ollie & Company. Chairperson <br />Seeley will talk to the director of Wargo Nature Center concerning possible summer programs <br />and bring information to the next scheduled meeting. Mr. Patzer suggested a tennis camp. <br />Council Member Lee would like to see music in the parks, maybe on a monthly or bi-weekly <br />basis. Ms. Stephan will contact Ms. LaChelle Williams, at the Chain of Lakes YMCA, to ask if <br />there is any interest in working with the committee on summer programs in Centerville. <br /> <br />Kellv Miller Circus <br /> <br />Ms. Stephan included information regarding the Kelly-Miller Circus in the packet as the circus <br />was tentatively booked to return to Centerville the Wednesday following Memorial Day in <br />2008. The Kelly-Miller Circus was in Centerville in 2006, but was not available in this area in <br />2007 as they only go the same route every two (2) years. <br /> <br />Vice-Chairperson Amundsen called the Kelly-Miller Circus to inquire about their 2008 <br />schedule and was told they will not be coming to the state of Minnesota this year. In 2007 they <br />were sold to a new owner; Mr. Harry Rawls, who made the first presentation to the Parks & <br />Recreation Committee, is no longer with them. Vice-Chairperson Amundsen was told they <br />have a lot of shows in the state of Indiana this year and will not make it this far West. <br /> <br />VI. ~ UPDATES <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />30f4 <br />
