Pmb & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes March 5, 2008 Centerville Parks. The committee would appreciate any additional help available and this was passed on to Wargo by Chairperson Seeley. The following request is on the City web site. It will be put on the City sign closer to the event. Earth Day Volunteer Opportunity! Join us in a local Earth Day project to cleanup our Centerville Parks! We will meet at the Centerville City Hall (1800 Main Street) on Saturday, April 19th at 9:00 am. Garbage bags, latex gloves and park locations will be provided at that time. Kids are welcome to join us ~ those younger than 16 years old, please bring a parent! Let us know ahead of time if you are willing to help by calling City Hall at 651-429-3232 or contact the Parks & Recreation Committee ChaiIperson by email at:skseeleYla!yahoo.com. Ms. Stephan will ensure there are bags and gloves at City Hall for this purpose. In the past the Centennial Lakes Little League has cleaned Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park, Chairperson Seeley requested Ms. Stephan inquire as to whether this will be done this year also. The Committee also needs clarifications as to where to bring the garbage. At the next meeting it will be decided where to put volunteers and whether to supply beverages and cookies to the volunteers. Summer Prol!J'llIDS At the February 13, 2008 City Council Meeting the City Council approved the recommendation from the committee to support Youth Summer Programs/Activities with Wargo Nature Center & the YMCA - not to exceed $1,000. In the packet was a flyer from Ms. Liz Guimont, YMCA regarding Park Play Days & Centerville Skate Park Program which the YMCA will be handing out at the YMCA Rally Day Celebration on Saturday, March I, 2008. There was a discussion of including a Wargo Nature Center program on the same flyer, but Ms. Guimont reported via email that Wargo has decided against running a program this suouoer due to prior staff commitments. They might be coming out to do "guest appearances" during the YMCA park time. This eliminates the need for transporting kids to and from Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park to Wargo and bag lunches. Any costs associated with Wargo making appearances will be coordinated through the YMCA. Ms. Guimont also reported the YMCA is planning on doing a school drop in March for the whole Centennial District which will include the YMCA suouoer catalog and Centerville program flyer insert. Copies of the flier will also be dropped at City Hall in time for the April utility billing. Additional copies will also be supplied for local businesses. VI. UPDATES Park Rules Included in the packet for the committee's review were the following amended Park Rules prepared by the City Attorney: ~ 92.18 SWIMMING. No person shall enter or exit Centerville Lake through any public park or public grounds for the purpose of swimming. 40f6
