YOUTH-AT-RISK AND ADAPTIVE PROGRAMMING: <br /> Another goal for recreation is an escalated joint effort with the school <br /> district and other agencies for after and before school activities for children <br /> 1st - 8th grades and continued coordination with the school district and <br /> neighboring communities regarding programming for students with <br /> disabilities. <br /> STAYING CURRENT WITH TRENDS AND STANDARD PROGRAMS: <br /> A_final recreation goal for the next five years is the continued pursuit of new <br /> and different varieties of programs which either become of interest or are <br /> vogue with the times such as disc golf, line dancing, first aid classes, trips <br /> and others along with standard programs including sports and swimming <br /> instruction. <br /> The forever. popular game of softball and baseball continues to be a high <br /> demand activity. In order to lessen risk injury from players going over a <br /> five foot outfield fence, most new field developments are installing 10-12 <br /> foot high outfield fences. The potential for lawsuits for injuries to players <br /> who are chasing a fly ball to the fence, or attempting to snag the ball going <br /> over the fence and in the process injuring a back is risky. Over the past <br /> years the hitting abilities of even the Class C and D teams have grown <br /> where now the adult fields are becoming too short. Too many homeruns <br /> are being hit over the fences. While rules are being modified to encourage <br /> less homerun hitting, it remains a fun part of the game. Heightening the <br /> fences at City Hall and Silver View outfields will also help alleviate the <br /> problems associated with balls going onto Highway 10 at City Hall Park, <br /> into Silver Lake Woods homeowners property at Silver View Park and into <br /> the storm water ditch at Greenfield Park. The estimated cost of heightening <br /> all of the fences is $17,000. <br /> ADMINISTRATIVE EQUIPMENT: <br /> With the large output of printed materials that the Department produces and <br /> prepares, it is necessary to purchase and install a Super VGA Card and <br /> more memory for the computer system for the Administrative Assistant to <br /> the Department to be funded out of Computer Systems upgrade. <br /> 33 <br />
