Ander <br />DATE: September 25, 1 <br />RE: Monthly Update <br />The purpose of this report is to keep the Parks and Recreation <br />Commission informed on current issues within the Parks, Recrea- <br />tion and Forestry Department that do not need of£icial commission <br />action: <br />Fall Recreation Programs - We are presently emersed in <br />the fall program classes and it appears that registration <br />for programs will reach an all-time high. We offered 61 <br />fall program sessions and at this point 52 of the 61 <br />classes are being run or 858. The most popular program <br />appears to be gymnastics with 9 sessions being offered, <br />with over 125 youth participating. I have enclosed a <br />preliminary program registration list which shows total <br />participants in relationship to non-residents. Although, <br />non-residents are not a problem at this time, the Commission <br />may desire to have staff explore a non-residents fee for <br />future programs. <br />2. Edgewood Jr. High - The 8' bikeway-pedestrian trails have <br />been completed at Edgewood Jr. High at a cost of $8,252 <br />based on $5.27 per foot for 1,566 feet. With the trail in, <br />Phase 2 is now completed at Edgewood and the tennis couxts, <br />which are Phase 3, will be constructed in the spring of <br />1960. The final phase is the construction of a park shelter <br />building which will be completed in 1981. <br />Registration System - The new Accu-ease registration system <br />has been in use for the past 2 months and it appears to be <br />working very well. We will be ordering a portable cabinet <br />to store the trays which will complete the registration <br />system. This proved to be a real time saver, as class <br />schedules and lists can just be xeroxed rather than being <br />individually typed. <br />Conferences - Program Supervisor Rvalheim and myself will <br />be attending the State Recreation Conference held in Duluth <br />oi� October 3,4, and 5. Both Mary and myself will be presiding <br />over a concurrent session during the 3-day conference. In <br />ad3ition, I will be attending the Netional Recreation Congress <br />on October 28 through November 1 in New Orleana, Louisiana. <br />
