MINUTES <br />PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION <br />July 6, 2017 <br />stated it would be up at least one week before Canadian Days, just in time <br />to be used for the survey. <br /> <br /> <br />Kost reported there would be several ways for residents to provide <br />feedback and share their opinions through the survey and through reaching <br />out to residents at community events, especially Canadian Days. The <br />Community Services Manager explained the survey would be encouraged <br />by offering a drawing for City apparel and several gift cards. The survey <br />would also be advertised via business cards and can coolers at Canadian <br />Days. He stated the survey would also be advertised in the Le Petit, on the <br />cable channel, on social media, through the SEH generated web page, and <br />various other methods to gain publicity. The Community Services <br />Manager passed around a sign-up sheet to work at the survey booth during <br />Canadian Days. He explained there would be two hour shifts on Saturday <br />and they are also looking for volunteers to walk in the Parade on Sunday. <br />The Community Services Manager stated the new dump truck would be <br />showcased with banners sponsoring the survey, and the volunteers could <br />pass out candy and advertising materials. He explained the City Council, <br />and Planning Commission would also be working at the booth. The <br />Community Services Manager shared he was also interested in engaging <br />the Little Canada Recreation Tent. Volunteers will also receive a t-shirt for <br />helping. Chair Miller suggested Commission members who come to <br />Canadian Days on Friday also spread the word. The Community Services <br />Manager agreed and noted Night to Unite and the Ice Cream Social would <br />also be good opportunities. Sullivan asked when the survey kickoff would <br />be. Kost indicated it would be the week before Canadian Days. He also <br />shared it would be about 10 to 12 questions. Chair Miller asked if The <br />Place Diagram could be included in the survey. Kost explained that would <br />be a good idea to help focus respondent’s ideas and also help them <br />brainstorm more ideas. The City Administrator suggested including some <br />prompts or examples for question two regarding how the parks system is <br />meeting needs. Kost stated he would prefer not to, so as to allow for more <br />creativity and freedom. The City Administrator agreed. The Community <br />Services Manager explained there would be a final question asking for any <br />additional comments or concerns. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The Community Services Manager reported the August meeting would <br />need to be rescheduled because the Ice Cream Social is August 3. He <br />proposed August 2 at 7:00. Sullivan stated she would not be able to attend <br />the meeting. Ray made a motion to have the meeting on August 2 at 7:00. <br />Darling seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. <br /> <br />OTHER <br />BUSINESS <br />PARKS MASTER <br />PLAN COMMUNITY <br />ENGAGEMENT
