PARR BOARD MEETING JUNE 1, 1992 John Bauman feels that we need a way to finance the Parks and Recreation Department and if not a golf course, then something else. He wondered if Al Robinson would be interested in having the City get involved in his golf course project. Marty Asleson will get in touch with Al Robinson regarding this suggestion. He (Marty) commented that there are still a few different options if we want to pursue the idea. RECREATION IN LEISURE SERVICES - Marty Asleson referred to the packet material he sent regarding a Recreation Advisory Board. He presented a draft resolution that he will ask the City Council to adopt. The resolution concerns a Recreation Advisory Board made up of approximately 8 to 10 citizens representing various aspects in the community, such as senior citizens, someone who has served on the comprehensive park plan committee, disabled/handicapped and others. All the board members agreed that this is a good idea. They think that a group representing the youth should be separate from this board, and suggested Barry Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisor as a liaison. We will advertise for these representatives in the City Newsletter, Cable and other sources. The board needs to set up a criteria for selecting a committee. Marty will set up guidelines and criteria from a staff level. He will pursue the resolution at Council level. This will be discussed further at a future meeting. RECREATION UPDATE - Barry Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisor, gave an update of the upcoming summer programs. He reported that registration for summer youth programs has been going very well. The most popular offering has been t-ball, we have had to add another session. Golf and tennis lessons are going very well, and he plans on offering adult open volleyball at the sand volleyball courts at Sunrise Park. Mr. Bernstein asked the board if they had any comments or suggestions on the programs, and to get in touch with him if wanted to discuss the program offerings. Other New Business - LINO DAYS - Marty Asleson talked about the Lino Days celebration coming up on Saturday, August 15th. So far committee members are working on plans for a 5 mile foot race around Rondeau Lake. Barry Bernstein will try to plan his season end softball tournaments for the same week-end so that people can get involved in some ballgame spectator fun. Ray Johnson is Chairman from the Lions Club and reported that the Lions Club has plans for a Pedal Power Tractor Pull and also expect the Wellness Health Van to be on hand. 5
