Goals, Planning, and Capital Budget Discussion <br />A general discussion was brought up regarding low enrollment <br />numbers. Many questions were raised about how we promote and <br />advertise the park and recreation programs. Anderson and Hoag <br />explained the current method of distribution is: through Falcon Heights <br />Elementary, ECFC, Fairview Community Center, Brimhall, Parkview, <br />Commonwealth Terrace, Chelsea Heights, St. Rose of Lima. Anderson <br />brought up that this is only reaching school aged children and that we <br />should look into reaching every household in Falcon Heights. Hoag then <br />brought to the commissions attention that currently the city of Little Canada <br />is publishing minimal information in the City of Roseville's/Community <br />Education's Activity Brochure, it is not much information but it is reaching a <br />lot more people than Falcon Heights is reaching. Staff is researching <br />publishing in that brochure. Dolan brought up an idea of getting census <br />data to find out our age demographics. Ozansky also brought up the idea <br />of conducting evaluations before or after programs to find out how people <br />find out about Falcon Heights programs or why they chose Falcon Height's <br />• programs over another city. Long recommended using the past 5 years of <br />registrations to find out where our popular sites and popular programs are, <br />
