MINUTES PARKS & REC COMMISSION AUGUST 4, 2022 3 The Recreation Coordinator highlighted recent events including the Ice Cream Social and Movies in the Park which had great attendance. She also reviewed upcoming events including Movies in the Park, the farmers market, and upcoming programming activities for youth and adults. The Parks & Rec Director commended the Recreation Coordinator for her efforts in allowing the farmers market to accept SNAP. He recognized that is something the City has wanted for many years, and she made it happen. He also recognized the difficulty in planning for community events and the great job the Recreation Coordinator does in gaining participation and properly planning for the events. The Commission also thanked the Recreation Coordinator for the great job she has done in the position. REPORTS FROM COMMISSIONERS Commissioner Chu stated that she noticed the Gervais Mill entrance when coming from Edgerton there are two picnic tables but no trash receptacle. She stated that perhaps a trash bin could be placed closer to those tables. Commissioner Hipp commented that a lot of trees have fallen on paths that have been cleared. She commented that it was great to see people enjoying the free community events. She asked if it would be valuable to have a booth with the commissioners each year at Canadian Days in order to continue community engagement and advertise events in the parks. The Parks & Rec Director commented that he could support that concept if there is interest from the Commission in fully staffing the booth. UPDATES The Parks & Rec Director provided an update on the process to solicit youth commission members. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:10 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Amanda Staple TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc.
