MEMO TO: Mounds View Park and Recreation Commission 410 FROM: Bruce K. Ande _ e ' ,,, pir pct Parks, Recreat 'o - d`, ore try DATE : September 26 , 1984 RE : Monthly Staff Update - September , 1984 The following or issues or programs are outlined to provide the Commission with better overview of our department' s day to day operation . Each of the listed items are strictly information oriented and are not intended for formal Commission action: 1 . Community Theater Proposal - Staff is working with Janet Paone to develop a Community Theater proposal that can be presented for municipalities and the Community Education Department. Following our first production of "You Can' t Take It With You" , we feel there is a need to develop a Com- munity Arts/Theater Board who would be able to coordinate the project, as it was extremely time consuming for our depart- ment to undertake such a large project. 2 . Athletic Association Survey - Staff is working with the other municipalities and the School District in the development of a survey to each of the athletic associations to get a better handle on what services are available and how we might better • serve the existing athletic associations. The surveys have been distributed to 22 athletic associations and results will be tabulated during the first two weeks in October. 3 . Groveland Park Picnic - Over 500 local neighbors attended the Groveland Park Picnic on September 8 , 1984 and it was an extremely successful party. Besides raising of $2 , 500 . 00 for the Groveland Park Foundation , the days activities proved to be enjoyable for young and old alike . 4 . Deanna Mortenson , Part-time Clerical Staff - Deanna Mortenson has been employed by our department for the past four summers through the summer C.E.T.A. jobs program. Her position drew to a close on Friday, September 21 as she resumed her full- time college career. Ms. Mortenson will be missed as she has proved to be a very valuable and conscientious employee to our department during the past four years. 5. Wood Chips - We have "mountains" of wood chips available to the general public and will be preparing an article for the November-December Newsletter encouraging residents to pick up free wood chips at Silver View Park . Any assistance you can provide in spreading the word would be greatly appreciated. 6 . Drinking in the City Parks - The City Council expressed con- cern at the regularly scheduled , September 24 Council Meeting 41111 that the "No Drinking" provision in the City ordinance had not been strictly enforced. Staff is in the planning stages of drafting a letter that will be going out to each of the community park users informing them of the "No Drinking" law in the City parks. ;1011 1'� � �� Y
