MINUTES <br />PARKS & REC COMMISSION <br />FEBRUARY 4, 2021 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />6 <br />offered with participants ranging in age and location. He stated that the defensive driver course <br />is open for registration, noting that capacity was limited because it is an in-person course. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ray asked if the former Recreation Coordinator was planning to hold the <br />Boundary Water training course. <br /> <br />The Community Services Manager replied that the course was open for registration, but no one <br />signed up and with the resignation of that staff member, he canceled the course. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hipp asked for details on the partnership with the U of M Master Gardeners. <br /> <br />The Community Services Manager confirmed that the City does pay for the service and is then <br />able to choose which courses it would like to offer to residents. He noted that the City then <br />charges a nominal fee for participation as they have found that better attendance is gained in that <br />manner compared to offering free courses. He commented that it is not a money-making <br />program but is focused on offering programing that the community enjoys. <br /> <br />There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:33 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Amanda Staple <br />TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc. <br />
