Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department <br />600 Town Center Parkway <br />Lino Lakes, MN 55014 <br />(651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 <br />www.ci.lino- lakes.mn.us <br />September 27, 2005 <br />TO: Park Board Members <br />FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br />SUBJECT: Review 2005 Summer Playground Report <br />Attached is the 2005 Summer Playground Report prepared by Ms. Liz Benoit, Recreation <br />Supervisor. We had a very successful Summer Playground Program that ran very smoothly and <br />was enjoyed by 342. <br />I want to make the Park Board aware that the General Fund funding for the Summer Playground <br />Program has been eliminated for next year. Historically approximately $24,000 was budgeted in <br />the General Fund to help offset some of the expenses associated with operating the Summer <br />Playground Program. The fees this past summer varied from $50 to $60 for residents and $75 to <br />$85 for non - residents. This was for an 8 week program including supplies, specialty programs, t- <br />shirt, 2 individual park parties, theme week activities, and staff. With the elimination of the <br />General Fund funding, staff will have to reevaluate next year's Summer Playground Program. It <br />is anticipated that registration fees may need to be in the range of $125 - $150 for residents to <br />cover all costs. We may look at reducing the number of weeks, the number of days, and/or the <br />number of hours per day. I am anticipating providing staff's recommendation for the 2006 <br />Summer Playground Program at the February, 2006 Park Board Meeting. <br />sw /parkbrd/meeting information/Review 2005 Summer Playground Report.doc <br />• <br />
