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