<br />Parks & Racreation <br />Meeting Minutes <br />04/03102 <br /> <br />The need for volunteers was discussed. It will be noted on the registration form <br />that adult volunteers would be appreciated and parent involvement is encouraged. <br />Volunteers are especially needed for the biking/swimming and canoeing activities. <br />The committee discussed various ways of advertising. Mr. Lee suggested sending <br />home information from schoo~ but questioned whether the school would do that <br />because of security reasons. Suggestions were the City Hall sign, cable, the <br />website and possibly the local paper. Advertising should begin in May. Ms. <br />Devine will check into advertising in the-paper and Ms Peil will do a flyer <br />announcement. Council Member Capra said that the City Council was considering <br />taking out a Y4 page add quarterly in the Quad and perhaps the Summer Park <br />Program could be included. Council Member Capra added the Parks & Recreation <br />Committee could kickoff this program by having a table at the April 27, 2002 <br />Volunteer Recognition Day Celebration which is scheduled from I 0-1 :00 p.m. at <br />City Hall. This celebration is to show appreciation to all volunteers and their <br />families and to help promote volunteerism within the community. It will also <br />include an award ceremony. Ms. Devine will need to let Council Member Capra <br />know if Mr. Porter will be presented with his recognition plaque at the award <br />ceremony on April 27, 2002. Council Member Capra would like the Parks and <br />Recreation Committee to be involved. <br /> <br />i I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Motion was made by Ms. Pei1, seconded by Mr. LeBlanc to accept the Wargo <br />Nature Center Summer Park Program as laid out by Mr. Murowski and <br />charge a $2.00 prepaid fee per child. <br /> <br />All in favor: Motion carried Unanimously. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra questioned where the balloons and balloon weights went <br />after the Fete des Lacs Festival. She would like to locate these for the Volunteer <br />Recognition Celebration. Ms. Pell asked if staff had received her e-mail requesting <br />the remaining buttons for Fete des Lacs. Ms. Stephan will check on these supplies. <br />Council Member Capra reported the City of Vadnais Heights has a 'Party Trailer' <br />to rent to residents for a nominal fee, which includes tables, chairs and grills and <br />suggested perhaps Parks and Recreation would like to do something like that in the <br />future. Mr. Peterson will locate the Parks and Recreation banner. <br /> <br />3of8 <br />
