The City Survey conducted by Decision Resources, LTD, has <br /> indicated that residents of Mounds View have particular interest in recreation <br /> programs and opportunities for the youth and senior citizens of the community. <br /> Since the majority of the recreation programming tends to be in youth a senior <br /> citizen programming, it is assumed that the community wishes to continue in this <br /> manner of programming. This community input also indicates that subsidization <br /> of youth and adult programs is important to the equitable participation <br /> opportunities of both age groups. Therefore, the department will put every effort <br /> forth to advocate for city subsidy of youth and senior citizen programs and <br /> activities to ensure fair and equitable opportunity for participation. <br /> In order to keep participation fees to an affordable level, the subsidization of all <br /> administrative staff and office costs must be provided with city tax funds rather <br /> than user fees. <br /> The recent requests for additional programming including after school <br /> programming in the middle schools, increased senior citizen activities, and <br /> increased support and coordination with youth athletic associations will require <br /> additional staff hours. Therefore, it is an objective to increase the current half- <br /> time Program Supervisor's position to a full time position. <br /> The long term plan in park improvements is the scheduled and planned <br /> replacement of facilities as the life expectancy becomes complete. <br /> The short and long term plan for park facility development and planning includes <br /> the implementation of the Trailways proposal as well as the continued work with <br /> the Golf Course development plan. <br /> The long term plan regarding forestry services is to begin with this first year of <br /> the amended join.t_p_w_rs . _ - - si ent with the Ci of New Brighton for <br /> contracting forestry services.
