gymnasts have performed, and the MVCT has previewed their performances. This is <br /> free entertainment provided by the community. • <br /> Athletic Competitions : A softball tournament has been a longstanding activity during <br /> the Festival. The competition brings in families and friends as spectators as well as the <br /> players themselves. The competition provides athletic entertainment for many Festival <br /> goers. <br /> Explorers Club : The Mounds View Explorers Club has provided services such as <br /> medical services, parking services, and crowd control. This group would be one that <br /> could be asked to help in the maintenance area of the Festival if needed. <br /> Maintenance : Periodic dumping of trashcans, troubleshooting and preparations for the <br /> rope barriers for the fireworks has been performed by employees of Public Works. <br /> Community groups could be approached to provide these services on a volunteer basis. <br /> Perhaps the Jaycees, a church group, a group of Lion's members, the Explorers or others <br /> may be interested in volunteering their services if they knew that there was a need for <br /> manpower to accomplish these tasks. <br /> Staffing : Several Recreation staff members are willing to work during the Festival day <br /> without a cost burden to the City. <br /> • <br /> So far, these options have been offered without a cost to the City. As time goes on <br /> other opportunities may present themselves for no-cost benefit to the City for the <br /> expansion of this list. Staff awaits the Council's direction for the continuation or dis- <br /> continuation of the Festival in the Park celebration. <br /> 4110 <br />
