<br />City of CenteNille Goals <br />Adopted May 23, 2001 <br /> <br />PARKS AND RECREATION <br /> <br />The fundamental questions that need answering are what recreational services do <br />citizens want, how will the service be provided, who will provide the service, and what <br />facilities are needed to support the identified services. This is what Park and <br />Recreation needs to figure out. In a nutshell, this is the Parks and Recreation Goal. <br /> <br />Already improvement dollars from the Parks and Recreation Development Fee Fund are <br />allocated for LaMotte Park to build a combination skateboard rink/hockey rink (Wheels <br />Park) and to provide electrical power for the park and Fete de Lacs celebrations. These <br />facilities must be built for the 2001 summer recreation season and are out for bid at this <br />writing. <br /> <br />Now is the time to focus on a comprehensive recreation plan for all of the citizens of this <br />community. Item 1 focuses on the recreation program needs. Initial discussion in <br />February with Parks and Recreation Committee Members identified the need for Pilot <br />Projects. Try out an idea, evaluate it, modify it, adopted it, or drop it if the project <br />doesn't pan out. The ideas presented below are not intended to limit the creativity of <br />the Committee, but we need to move towards a recreational program. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation <br />Item 1. Pilot Projects: <br /> <br />. Wheels Park and LaMotte Electrical: <br /> <br />Dedication fees from the Park Development Fund were used. Council <br />recognizes the need for General Fund support for maintenance and program. <br />These dollars will be evaluated as the Park and Recreation Committee <br />expresses budget needs. In the FY2002 budget, a new General Fund line item <br />called Recreation Programs will be established. This money is to be accounted <br />for in a new budget code 45300 and used for the purpose of funding recreational <br />programs and maintenance of parks to benefit Centerville residents. <br /> <br />In the current FY2001, Council will work with the City Administrator to reallocate <br />existing FY 2001 dollars to accommodate pilot projects as they are identified by <br />Parks and Recreation and that can be accomplished this summer or next <br />summer. <br /> <br />. Summer Youth: <br /> <br />Determine appropriate vendors to provide summer youth recreational activities <br />using city parks and facilities. YMCA is already developing a program for 6-10 <br />year olds, but a program needs to be developed for older youth as well. <br />Weeklong camps for sports (soccer, baseball, basketball etc.), science, nature, <br /> <br />q <br />
