Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 www.ci.lino - lakes.mn.us February 28, 2007 TO: Park Board Members FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director SUBJECT: Review Proposed 2007 Summer Playground Program As you may recall, the format of last year's Summer Playground Program was drastically changed due to the elimination of the program's general revenue funding. Although the registration fees were the same as 2005, the program hours were reduced from an eight week program to a seven week program as well as meeting two days per week rather than five days per week. In addition several cost cutting measures were also implemented which may have affected the program quality for the participants. For example, the use of specialists and performers were reduced and t- shirts were not provided. The overall attendance of the program dropped from 342 in 2005 to 272 in 2006. Partial funding of the Summer Playground Program has been reinstated in the 2007 Budget. Listed below is the proposed playground description and format for the upcoming summer season. This is the same format as the 2005 program. Join us at the playgrounds for some sensational summer fun! Theme weeks, arts -n- crafts, specialists and games are just some of the fun things we'll do this summer. Program will conclude with a special party at your park. 7 weeks. Min /Max: 20/50.
