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 />October 31, 2006 <br />TO: Park Board Members <br />FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br />SUBJECT: 2006 Summer Playground Report <br />Attached is the 2006 Playground Report prepared by Mrs. Liz Benoit, Recreation Supervisor. As <br />you may recall the format of the Summer Playground Program was drastically changed due to <br />the elimination of the program's general revenue funding. Although the registration fees were <br />the same as last year, the program hours were reduced from an eight week program to a seven <br />week program as well as meeting two days per week rather than five days per week. In addition, <br />several cost cutting measures were also implemented which may have affected the program <br />quality for the participants. For example the use of specialist and performers were reduced and t- <br />shirts were not provided. The overall attendance of the program dropped from 342 participants <br />in 2005 to 272 participants in 2006. <br />It should be noted that the proposed 2007 budget includes reinstating partial funding of the <br />Summer Playground Program. <br />sw /parkbrd /meeting info /2006 Summer Playground Report.doc <br />• <br />
