Parks & Recreation Committee <br /> Meeting Minutes 01-06-10 <br />In scheduling the 8K Run for 2010 Committee Member Branch picked the traditional weekend of <br />Fete des Lacs and scheduled the run for Saturday, August 7, 2010. This actually had to be set last <br />August (2009) to get into the Minnesota Distance Running publication. Per Committee Member <br />th <br />Branch, August 7 is the date Mr. Tom Lee will recommend to City Council we have the parade, <br />even though it will a different weekend than the Lion’s soft ball tournament and street dance. Due <br />to budget cuts, Fete des Lacs funding has been cut to the parade only. The only difference it will <br />make for the 8K Run is the committee will have to pay for the satellites. Many of the parade <br />volunteers in 2009 were also volunteers for the race. <br /> <br />Committee Member Branch said in 2009 we charged children less registration fee than for adult <br />runners, which he thought was a good idea and would continue into 2010. Adult’s pre-registration <br />will be $20, children under 15 years of age will be $10, and race day registration for all participants <br />will be $25. The actual cost is $40 per participant; these costs were offset by sponsors. There are <br />bags left over which were purchased by Creative Kids and can be used in 2010, saving this cost. <br />Committee Member Branch will ask Creative Kids to be sponsor again. Committee Member <br />Amundsen has been working on the T-shirt design and supplied the committee with a newer version, <br />which is the same logo, but in 2 colors. Chairperson Seeley suggested purchasing heavier type signs <br />that could be used for multiple events, either like a sandwich board or a real estate sign. This could <br />be used for the mile markers. Committee Member Branch suggested building them and offered to <br />play around with a few ideas and see what he could come up with. The thought was these signs <br />could be used for the 8K, garage sale days & flea market, movie or music in the parks, etc. <br /> <br />8K Website <br /> <br />The committee discussed the website Committee Member Branch has been working on, located at <br />http://web.me.com/patbranch/Site/Centerville_8K.html. <br /> <br />The proposal Committee Member Branch submitted for the committee’s review was approved and <br />signed by Chairperson Seeley. This will be submitted as part of the meeting minutes. <br /> <br />VI. UPDATES <br /> <br />Flea Market / Cleanup Days <br /> <br />Chairperson Seeley said she has been in contact with the group of volunteers who did the Good <br />Turn Event in 2009 and it is possible they would shift the date of their next event to coincide with <br />the Flea Market. This would make better use of volunteers and offer more options. Chairperson <br />Seeley would like something like ‘Look for more information on Good Turn/Flea Market Events to <br />be held this year in conjunction with Garage Sale Days in May’ added to the City Newsletter which <br />goes out this week. <br /> <br />Request of Charitable Gambling Funds from Dead Broke Saddle Club <br /> <br />Committee Member Amundsen had contacted some other Cities and suppliers of volleyball <br />equipment to try and determine what would be needed for a sand volleyball court. Committee <br />Amundsen said basically it is a square hole with sand in it. Public Works could possibly use a front <br />end loader or bobcat to do the work, though as this is still just a concept idea, Public Works has not <br />3 of 4 <br /> <br />
