MINUTES <br />PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION <br />December 7, 2017 <br />3. Provide city-wide access, mobility and connectivity through active <br />transportation (walking and biking) <br />4. Protect, preserve, and enhance natural resources, features and <br />environments within the city <br />5. Inspire life-long learning, creativity and community service <br />6. Facilitate and enhance social interaction <br />7. Welcome and support people of diverse age, race, ethnicity, ability, <br />gender, and economic status <br />8. Operate a financially sound parks, trails and open space system <br /> <br />Kost stated the next steps would be to prepare the draft plan to distribute <br />to the Commission, and then refine it before the public hearing on January <br />25th. He noted the finalized version would be ready in February or March. <br /> <br /> <br />The Community Services Manager presented the prioritization list and the <br />first eight had been programmed into the Capital Improvements Plan. He <br />asked the Commission to review the list and approve a final version. Ray <br />made a motion to approve the top eight prioritized projects. Schletty <br />seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. <br /> <br /> <br />The Community Services Manager reported that in 2015 the City received <br />a donation from Deb Behles, in memory of her father David Behles, a <br />Little Canada youth sports coach. He explained the donation was to be <br />used for Little Canada families that are in need of financial help for their <br />children to participate in our recreational activities. The Community <br />Services Manager stated staff created a standardized form for people to <br />request financial assistance. He explained this would also make it easier to <br />formulate an annual report for the Behles family. The Community <br />Services Manager stated staff recommended subsidizing 80% of the cost <br />of the activity. He explained the average cost is $56, and using the <br />proposed guidelines this would cover $44.80, and the family would pay <br />$11.20. The Community Services Manager stated most communities use <br />the free/reduced lunch program to qualify for financial assistance. Darling <br />asked if other communities ask for documentation showing their <br />free/reduced lunch qualification. The Community Services Manager <br />indicated it was a common practice and would only require a phone call to <br />the school. He stated staff would like to better promote this opportunity in <br />the Le Petit, at the schools, and through programs like the YMCA <br />Program at Montreal Courts Apartments. Chu asked if scholarships would <br />still be offered once the Behles money has been used. The Community <br />Services Manager stated the Little Canada Recreation Association also <br />offers scholarship opportunities. Chair Miller made a motion to approve <br />the form and further promotion of the scholarship opportunity. <br />Darling seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. <br />FINALIZE <br />2018 BUDGET <br />PLANNING <br />BEHLES <br />SCHOLARSHIP <br />FORM
