, Church, the park would become more user friendly and provide enough space for ali of the desires of the City and its residents. Ms. Lien mentioned she had a conversa.tion with Mr. Palzer earlier, and Mr. Palzer wanted to stress to the Parks and Recreation Committee the need for budgeting for a Park Director in the year 2001 (whether part-time or full-time). Ms. Lien also shared tha.t last year she had brought this before the Parks and Recreation Committee several times, stressing the need for activities for teens. Ms. Lien had been in contact with the City of Lino Lakes several times, and they were more than willing and enthused to include the City of Centerville in their recreational activities, encouraging Centerville to become more active. The City of Centerville could offer activities in conjunction with the City of Lino Lakes, with the registrations and inquiries from Centerville's residents taken at City Hall. Mr. LeBlanc questioned Mr. Bisek if he envisioned coordinating the questions, phone calls, registrations, planning, etc., through Kelly's Korner, or through City Hall. Mr. Bisek replied that he would like to see the calls and registrations taken at City Ha11. Ms. Lien stressed that staff cannot take this on at its current capacity. The Parks and _ Recreation Committee would have to hire a Park Director or Coordina.tor — whether part- time or fu11-time. The general consensus of the Parks and Recreation Committee was in favor of Mr. Bisek's request, adding it is great that someone is willing to do this for the City. Mr. Bisek thanked the Parks and Recreation Committee for their time; adding if anyone has any questions, to please feel free to call him. Patricia Scott (LeJournal Editor) appeared before the Pazks and Recreation Committee for two reasons: the first was to discuss ideas, comments, pictures, deadlines and monthly updates from the Parks and Recreation Committee for the LeJournal. Ms. Scott requested all monthly updates be turned into her by the Friday following the Parks and Recreation � Committee meeting. The Committee elected Ms. DeVine to be the official spokesperson (letters to the editor) for the monthly updates to Ms. Scott. The second reason is to stress that the youth (young teens) are "crying out" for something to do for their age group. They are cu.rrently using the Church parking lot for a place to ride their skateboazds and bikes. Ms. Scott suggested to these teens that they create a petition and possibly coordinate a fund-raiser to use any proceeds for some type of bike- pazk. In addition, she stressed that these teens need to set an example, by being responsible, respectable and help with the upkeep of any type of bike track tha.t may be forth coming. 2
