• d. Recreation Program update: <br />Recreation program registrations continue to trickle in. Commonwealth <br />Terrace registrations have been slow but a flyer was distributed to all <br />residents last week to help boost registration. A flyer will go out to all <br />Falcon Heights residents at the end of the month that highlights the <br />programs that cun'ently have low registration, including Babysitter <br />Training, Adult Soccer, Baseball and Playgrounds. The majority of staff <br />have been hired, except for apre-school instructor. There are 4 <br />returning staff and 7 new staff. All programs should have strong <br />leadership with 7 staff in college leading the programs and 4 staff in <br />high school that will work as assistants. <br />5. Hockey Rink at Falcon Heights Elementary: <br />The City will go with the cheapest option first which will be to move the boards <br />from the Grove to Falcon Heights Elementary. The Grove will continue to <br />have a skating rink, possibly an oval as Maertz suggested. The school has <br />agreed to the rink, but neighbors will need to be contacted about lights. Dolan <br />suggested putting up lights with shields or running lights on timers. <br />6. New Play Structure at Falcon Heights Elementary: <br />The school wants to put in a $40,000-50,000 play structure. They are looking <br />for donations. The City is considering cone-time donation of approximately <br />• $15,000, but doesn't want along-term commitment or maintenance <br />responsibilities. The City Council sees the value of partnering with the school <br />since so many of our recreation programs are held at that site. Deen <br />mentioned that the City should see the structure, and have some input in the <br />decision, before it is purchased. The structure is estimated to be purchased in <br />2005. Motion to support the play structure in an amount to be decided was <br />unanimous. <br />Long suggested we discuss the recruitment of new park commission members, <br />possibly a youth member, at the June meeting. <br />Meeting ended at 7:40 p. m. <br />Minutes respectfully submitted by Ann Davy. If there are any corrections or <br />additions, please contact Ann Davy by phone at 651-917-1287 or by email at <br />ann. davy@ci.falcon-heights. mn. us. <br />• <br />
