MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />JANUARY 8, 1992 <br />THAT CONTRACT TO MEET THE SATISFACTION OF THE CITY <br />ADMINISTRATOR AND CITY ATTORNEY <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Scalze. <br />Ayes (4) Blesener, Scalze, Hanson, LaValle. <br />Nays (0). <br />Resolution declared adopted. <br />RECREATION Mr. Steve Morelan requested the opportunity to address <br />DIRECTOR the Council on the issue of contracting for <br />recreational services with the City of Roseville versus <br />hiring a full-time Parks & Recreation Director. <br />Mrs. Scalze introduced the following resolution and <br />moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 92-1-6 - MOVING ITEM 23d, RECREATION <br />DIRECTOR UPDATE, UP ON THE AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION AT <br />THIS TIME <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Blesener. <br />Ayes (4) Scalze, Blesener, Hanson, LaValle. <br />Nays (0). <br />Resolution declared adopted. <br />5calze offered the general public the following <br />background information. Scalze reported that the <br />proposal to contract for administration of Little <br />Canada's recreation program by the City of Roseville is <br />not a merger of the two programs. A merger was never <br />discussed nor proposed by Roseville. Late in 1991 the <br />City's present part-time Recreation Director indicated <br />his resignation effective the end of 1991, and is <br />currently serving in that capacity for another month. <br />Scalze reported that in November of 1991, the City held <br />a goal-setting session, and the number one priority <br />that came from that session was the restructuring of <br />the City's Parks and Recreation Department. <br />Scalze reported that the City's recreation system was <br />started in 1957 by the Little Canada Recreation <br />Association, a private non-profit group. Up until that <br />time there had been no youth recreation program in the <br />City. During the 1960's the City started funding the <br />position of part-time Recreation Director. Scalze <br />reported that the City currently funds about half of <br />program costs, in addition to funding administration <br />and maintenance costs. Other program costs are paid <br />through registration fees. Scalze noted that very few <br />cities subsidize registration fees like Little Canada <br />has done. <br />Page 4 <br />
