Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 08-04-10 Movies in the Park ~ Saturday, September 18, 2010 Committee Member Peterson has been researching the rental of movies and equipment, as well as spaces available (park, school, church) to offer the community a FREE Family Movie in the Park Night. The idea has been to offer an outside viewing of a movie at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park, with a back up weather plan of St. Genevieve’s Parish Center. The elementary school is also an option. Committee Member Peterson has tentative approval from the church and school. The committee was supplied with movie lists in the form of links to Modern Sound Pictures Inc. and Swank Catalog Online prior to the August meeting for review suggesting it would be beneficial to make a movie selection at the August meeting as the September meeting may not be enough time to get a reservation into the vendor. Modern Sound Pictures Inc. has the prices listed online starting at $75 and charges $18 for shipping each way; they have the smallest selection, but are more reasonably priced. Swank charges $250- $350 per movie. Disney movies are $350. The newer the movie, the more expensive. Equipment; including speakers, cables and projector can be rented for approximately $150 if the equipment is picked up opposed to delivered. Rentals are for a 5 day period. The low end projector is adequate for the committee’s purpose. The committee left the choice of the movie up to Committee Member Peterson and Committee Member Selander as they have small children. At the July meeting the committee selected Saturday, September 18, 2010 for a movie showing at 7:00 p.m. The committee will also offer free popcorn. Motion was made by Committee Member Peterson, seconded by Committee Member Amundsen to request City Council approve funds from Park Programs not to exceed $400 for the Movie in the Park Night to be held at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park, Saturday, September 18, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Skate Night at Schwan’s Super Rink ~ September 25, 2010 A free to the public Skate Night was scheduled with Schwan’s Super Rink earlier this spring as a benefit offered to each of the City’s contributing to the original cost of the building the additional rinks. The committee will need to request funding from City Council if refreshments are desired and notify the event coordinator at Schwan’s for this service prior to the event. This event will also need to be advertised as well as Committee Members need to commit to who will be in attendance. Committee Member Selander volunteered to be the event coordinator. The committee opted to not provide refreshments. Ms. Stephan will put the information on the web site and the City sign. The event is from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 25, 2010. VII. ADJOURNMENT Motion was made by Committee Member Peterson, seconded by Committee Member Amundsen to adjourn the August 4, 2010 Parks & Recreation Committee meeting at 9:20 p.m. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Transcribed by Kim Stephan 6 of 6
