Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 11-05-08 Some additional research will have to be done as far as what exactly the Park Rules signs were supposed to say. This item will be readdressed at the next committee meeting. Problems at Eae:le Park (teenae:ers. neie:hborhood complaints) This item was discussed under Lighting. Hidden Spnne: Park This item was discussed under Appearances. Fete des Lacs 2009 Centerville Lake Walk/Run Committee Member Branch was unable to attend the meeting, but sent an update on the Festival of the Lakes 8K with the progress made during October in the following email: The race is registered on two running sites. Midwest Events and "NeedtoRun.com" (MDRA). A half page ad has been sent into the Minnesota Distance Running Association for publication in their 2009 calendar. Our run will be included on the calendar, as well as the appearances of our advertisement. I have asked Ms. Barb Leininger to measure our course and obtain a USA TF certification. She will send us a proposal. She will wait until spring to measure the course. Council Member Lee, Vice-Chairperson Amundsen and I have coordinated on a proposed route. I request the committee review and approve this route. There was a question about the web site discussion we had at our September meeting. What is needed is a page on the City's website. When people see our ads or announcement in one of the free on-line pages, they will want to link to the official web site for this run. That site should be a page attached to the City's website. We also need to make some posters and handouts we can post around town or pass out at runs earlier in the year. I will send Committee member Lee and Vice-Chairperson Amundsen some examples. It is not too early to start thinking about sponsors. I would appreciate haring your ideas on what firms would make good sponsors. The Citizen has agreed to publish a save the date item for the race. The text I sent to The Citizen is as follows: Save the Date August 8, 2009 - Festival of the Lakes 8K Run/Walk The City of Centerville Parks and Recreation Committee is planning the First Annual 8 Kilometer Run or Walk around Centerville Lake August 8, 2009. Fete des Lacs (Festival of the Lakes) is an annual Centerville event held the first full weekend of August. This run or walk will be one of several activities held in conjunction with Fete des Lacs. The run takes you through Centerville neighborhoods and the beautiful Rice Creek Regional Park. 40f5
