Parks & Recreation Committee <br /> <br /> Meeting Minutes March 5, 2008 <br /> <br />years, explained to the committee the difficulties involved in trying to get a permit for the parade from <br />the county last year due to road construction and the limited options this year. The county will not <br />th <br />issue any permits for Centerville Road or 20 Avenue South as these are detour routes. Any other <br />roads located in Centerville do not allow enough room for the parade and the staging area. City <br />Council has not made a decision on the parade at this time and the Centerville Lions are still looking at <br />possibilities, but Council Member Lee stated we are already 6-8 weeks behind in the planning, if a <br />parade were going to be held. The committee felt Ollie & Company being involved in Fete des Lacs <br />was still a great idea. Council Member Lee will pass the information on to the Centerville Lions for a <br />possible festival event. The committee would like to consider sponsoring the June event. Chairperson <br />Seeley asked if any of those funds normally spent on the parade could be diverted to summer park <br />programs and/or events, possibly funding the June event with Ollie & Company. Council Member Lee <br />will bring this to City Council. <br /> <br />The Community Skateboard Competition Proposal consisted of: <br /> <br />? <br />Registration upon arrival. <br /> <br />? <br />3 Divisions: Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert. <br /> <br />? <br />Each division to be held in-between band set ups (approximately 20 minutes). <br /> <br />? <br />Individual “runs” of 1.5 minutes per rider (x2 runs each, if time warrants). <br /> <br />? <br />“Best Trick” competition during one of the band set ups. <br /> <br />? <br />Demo by Team ONC during one band set up. <br /> <br />? <br />Prize Awards Ceremony upon completion of band performances. <br /> <br />? <br />Product Toss to conclude the day! <br /> <br /> <br />Additional: <br /> <br />? <br />All skateboard entrants will receive a free 2008 Team ONC calendar. <br /> <br />? <br />Red Bull Energy Drink Representatives on hand to give free product. <br /> <br />stndrd <br />? <br />1, 2, 3 place awards in each division. <br /> <br />? <br />Team ONC to judge skateboard competition. <br /> <br />? <br />Additional advertising on Ollie & Company website & myspace. <br /> <br />? <br />“Battle of Boards” t-shirts optional – estimated cost of $5.00 each. <br /> <br />? <br />Double sided postcards listing “Battle of Boards” & “Fete des Lacs” optional at an <br /> <br /> estimated cost of $175 per 500 quantity. <br /> <br />Total cost without additional options $700.00. <br /> <br />The committee discussed the additional options and decided the postcards as advertising would not be <br />necessary as there are other advertising options available that would be free (web site, local papers, <br />cable channel, City sign, and newsletter). Committee Member Lee will check with Centennial High <br />School to see if this type of event can be included in the school announcements, as well as design a <br />poster for advertising this event. The committee did like the idea of handing out T-shirts at the event to <br />participants. Vice-Chairperson Amundsen will look at a design for the shirt and work with Ms. <br />Evanson on that option. Council Member Lee stated there would be some costs associated with <br />equipment for the Battle of the Bands. The committee thought this event could be held for <br />approximately $1,000. No motions are being made at this time until it is determined if funding is <br />available. <br />2 of 6 <br /> <br />
