r > ` Park and Recreation Committee November 10, 1987 Meeting Minutes Present: Carol Pelton Gerald LeTendre Leon L'Allier, Cindy Paschke Steve Appel Council Liaison The meeting was called to order at 7:05 p.m. After reviewing the minutes, LeTendre made a motion to accept the October 13th minutes, Appel second, unanimously accepted. The City Council minutes were reviewed with some discussion on the items listed below: - Centerville Heights ( last paragraph on page 2, and page 3 ) - City Sweeper ( last paragraph on page 4, and first paragraph on page 5 ) P & R was notified that the City Workers will be fixing the sweeper instead of sending it away. - Summer Program ( second paragraph on page 5 ) P & R requests that the City pay for the Summer Recreation Program for 1987, and P & R will pick it up for 1988. P & R requests that they receive the P & Z minutes, even if nothing in the minutes pertains to them. Steve Appel, treasurer, gave a financial report, noting that up to this meeting, the maintenance of the parks is taking clot more money than was budgeted for. Next year, $750 is budgeted for general maintenance. After some discussion on the hockey rink, P & R decided that they would be willing to pay a fireman for one hour to open up the controls, so the Hockey Association could flood the rink. P & R is hoping to use volunteers to supervise the warming house on weekends, and pay rink attendants to supervise the warming house on weeknights. A notice asking for volunteers will be sent out with the city newsletter, cable, and the newspaper. P & R will be increasing the rink attendant's salaries 10¢ for those returning from last year. P & R requests the City Clerk to have the satellite delivered on December 15. An alternative to paying a fireman to open up the controls to flood the rink is for the Hockey Association to put up a bond. P & R will be investigating this alternative further. P & R questions what the Summer Recreation Program is. The Recreation Director Fund which they have budgeted for, will introduce people to our parks by utilizing our actual park properties in the program. P & R feels they cannot afford both, and they ask the City Council to reconsider. P & R recommends to the City Council that a letter be sent to the School District requesting the net posts and inner fences from the tennis courts for future use. P & R could employ the City Workers to recover the materials. P & R requests a response from the School District. Steve Appel made a motion to recommend to the City Council that Steve Dixon, 1760 Center St., be appointed to the P & R Committee, LeTendre second, unanimously accepted.
