times of drought, and upkeep of landscaping in the parks all takes hours of maintenance <br /> labor. This increase in trees and landscaping requires an additional need for seasonal <br /> employee dedication exclusively to the upkeep of park trees and landscaping. If this is the <br /> desire of the City, it is recommended that an additional 60 day summer seasonal employee <br /> be hired to assist in the upkeep of trees and bushes and landscaping in the parks. <br /> CABLE TV: <br /> The specific five year goal of the Cable TV program is to provide 24 hours of programming <br /> on the Channel 16 Government Access. This objective requires more than the half time <br /> Cable Technician position, and therefore another goal would be to escalate the number of <br /> Cable TV subscribers for a higher reimbursement of programming monies from the Cable - <br /> TV Franchise to employ a full time Cable Technician. <br /> RECREATION REVENUE RESOURCE: <br /> It is also the specific goal of the Parks and Recreation Commission to pursue the <br /> investigation of a possible revenue producing recreation facility for the City of Mounds <br /> View - - to provide an alternate funding source for now and in the future for recreation <br /> and parks operations in the City of Mounds View. <br /> PROVIDE RESOURCE INFORMATION AND COORDINATION OF SOCIAL <br /> SERVICES: <br /> The Department has experienced increased demand and requests for social services <br /> including senior citizen programming, at-risk youth programming, developmental <br /> programming for preschoolers, community service activities for high school students, <br /> restitution activities for youth, adaptive programs for those with disabilities, funding <br /> assistance for those in need, etc. It is the goal of the Department to assist in the <br /> facilitation or coordination of resources to provide assistance for the above causes. <br /> However, the staff time and funding for accomplishment of these social demands will <br /> impact the success of this goal. <br /> FIVE YEAR GOALS - LOOKING TO THE NEAR FUTURE AND BEYOND: <br /> This is a short synopsis of goals for the next few years and perhaps beyond. External <br /> factors may alter the goals, but in 1994 these goals appear to be logical and worthy of <br /> funding for the benefit of the community. These objectives coincide with the budget items <br /> which are listed on the 5 year capital expenditure plan. <br /> 38 <br />
