MEMO TO: Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Staff DATE: September 22, 1982 RE: Policy regarding outside programs During the past two years, our department has been inundated with numerous companies, agencies and individuals who have formed companies to provide recreation programs/activities. We have kept our use of these firms or agencies to a minimum during the past two years as we have found that it' s been more equitable for our department to hire and train our own staff rather than go with outside agencies or special programming groups . We have found a number of program areas where it has been beneficial to hire a firm or agency to provide us instructors and staff to teach a specific special interest group and it has proven to be extremely beneficial to our department as well as to the residents who participate • in these programs. There currently are five programs which we are offering in the Fall where we have hired basically two firms for the use of their instructors. The five programs are as follows: 1 . Jazz Exercise 2. Fun, Fit, and Fantastic 3. Jazz-Dancercise 4. Protect Yourself 5. Weight Control The Jazz Exercise, Protect Yourself, and Weight Control programs are run by a gentleman named Paul Gibson and his firm. The Fun, Fit, and Fantastic and Jazz-Dancercise programs are coordinated by the Community Dance Theater. We currently have arrangements with these two firms whereby we coordinate and handle all the registrations and school permits , etc. , for their program and they in turn provide instructors and assist 111 us with promotional material in exchange for a per registrant cost averaging from $1 .00 to $3.00 per registrant.
