<br />I <br />I <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Church, the park would become more user friendly and provide enough space for all of <br />the desires of the City and its residents. <br /> <br />Ms. Lien mentioned she had a conversation with Mr. Palzer earlier, and Mr. Palzer <br />wanted to stress to the Parks and Recreation Committee the need for budgeting for a Park <br />Director in the year 2001 (whether part-time or full-time). Ms. Lien also shared that last <br />year she had brought this before the Parks and Recreation Committee several times, <br />stressing the need for activities for teens. Ms. Lien had been in contact with the City of <br />Lino Lakes several times, and they were more than willing and enthused to include the <br />City of Centerville in their recreational activities, encouraging Centerville to become <br />more active. The City of Centerville could offer activities in conjunction with the City of <br />Lino Lakes, with the registrations and inquiries from Centerville' s residents taken at City <br />Hall. <br /> <br />Mr. LeBlanc questioned Mr. Bisek ifhe envisioned coordinating the questions, phone <br />calls, registrations, planning, etc., through Kelly's Korner, or through City Hall. Mr. <br />Bisek replied that he would like to see the calls and registrations taken at City Hall. <br /> <br />Ms. Lien stressed that staff cannot take this on at its current capacity. The Parks and <br />Recreation Committee would have to hire a Park Director or Coordinator - whether part- <br />time or full-time. <br /> <br />The general consensus of the Parks and Recreation Committee was in favor of Mr. <br />Bisek's request, adding it is great that someone is willing to do this for the City. <br /> <br />Mr. Bisek thanked the Parks and Recreation Committee for their time; adding if anyone <br />has any questions, to please feel free to call him. <br /> <br />Patricia Scott (LeJournal Editor) appeared before the Parks and Recreation Committee <br />for two reasons: the first was to discuss ideas, comments, pictures, deadlines and monthly <br />updates from the Parks and Recreation Committee for the LeJournaL Ms. Scott requested <br />all monthly updates be turned into her by the Friday following the Parks and Recreation <br />Committee meeting. The Committee elected Ms. DeVine to be the official spokesperson <br />(letters to the editor) for the monthly updates to Ms. Scott. <br /> <br />The second reason is to stress that the youth (young teens) are "crying out" for something <br />to do for their age group. They are currently using the Church parking lot for a place to <br />ride their skateboards and bikes. Ms. Scott suggested to these teens that they create a <br />petition and possibly coordinate a fund-raiser to use any proceeds for some type of bike- <br />park. In addition, she stressed that these teens need to set an example, by being <br />responsible, respectable and help with the upkeep of any type of bike track that may be <br />forth coming. <br /> <br />2 <br />
