The <br />playground program would entail staffed playground sites ( 1 - 3 <br />p.m., Monday - Thursday at Community Park and Curtiss Field) <br />with supervised recreational activities for kids in Grades 1-6. <br />Staffing costs for the program would be approximately $700 per <br />park for the 7 week summer season. Several suggestions were <br />made for funding the program. <br />The city council endorsed the program at its March 24th with the <br />stipulation that the commission continue to explore funding <br />mechanisms. Suggestions for further exploration include a <br />voluntary suggested donation (from users) and grants and <br />donations from civic organizations. <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Discussion of possible funding mechanisms for <br />summer playground program. <br />
