4. Staff Report
a. Recreation Supervisor /Administrative Assistant Position
Hoag reported that after meeting with Ann Davy and Heather
Worthington that the position should continue as a full-time split
position. Having this person here full-time helps to better form a good
team working environment. Kuettel noted that staff should look for a
candidate with good supervision and leadership skills to work with the
existing Jr. Leaders. The members of the Commission also expressed
their appreciation of a job well done, and a big thank you to Ann Davy.
b. Skating Rink update
Hoag reported that as of February 11, 2005 all of the skating rinks were
closed for the season. The season was short this year due to an un-
seasonablywarm winter. Hoag handed out a rink attendance log for the
season. In summary the skating season was 51 days, Community Park
was open 35 days during that period with a total of 471 skaters. Curtiss
• Field was open 45 days with a total of 1044 skaters. Use of the rinks at
the school and Grove Park was monitored through how many times
they needed to be cleaned off from skating. Both rinks were cleaned
approximately every other day. Kuettel noted that the rink at the school
• was used daily during recess by many of the school children. Through
out the summer staff is going to evaluate all of the rinks as well as lights
and a building for the school.
c. Field Use Requests
Hoag introduced this item for discussion with the Commission based on
field request use from the North Suburban Soccer Association (NSSA).
NSSA has requested the use of the soccer field at Community Park for
the month of May, Monday through Thursday 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. A general
discussion was had that talked about the impacts of parking, restroom
facilities and general open time for the public. It was discussed that
further study of a long term use of the field needed to be done. Staff will
monitor use of Community Park through -out the summer to try and
determine whether a use such as this will have an impact on the
public's use of the park. A motion was made by Dolan seconded by
Long to deny the request of NSSA for this season pending further
study. The motion passed.
d. School Playground Update
Hoag reported that he has been invited to participate in the playground
• selection process. School Principal Paul Charest has invited three
playground sales representatives to a meeting on February 28, 2005 to
present their proposals. Kuettel suggested calling Paul at the School to
find out more information about the process and the meeting.
e. Dead of Winter Event
Hoag reported that the event was a success. He also handed out a
budget summary sheet created by Ann Davy about the event.
Expenses were $831.54, Revenue was $210.25, total cost to the City is
$371.29. It was noted that the largest expense is the hayride.
A motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Kuhens Seconded by Dolan. Meeting
