Anderson , Director Parks , Recreation and Fore r 1)1)( DATE: January 28 , 1986 RE: Monthly staff update - January, 1986 The following issues and programs are outlined to provide the Commission with a better overview of our department' s day to day operations. Each of the listed items are strictly informational and not intended for formal Commission action . 1 . City compost funding - The funding for the City compost pro- gram has been transferred from Ramsey County to the Metropol- itan Council through the Land Abatement Act . The City recently received its optimal funding in the amount of $2 , 267 which will fund the program for 1986 . 41111 2 . Conferences and training - I will be attending two - one day seminars during the next two weeks ; the first being on the status of liability insurance and how it is affecting the recreation profession . The City recently experienced a 108 percent increase in our City ' s liability insurance and Park and Recreation Agencies across the metropolitan area are experiencing similar , if not greater , increases . The second one day seminar will be held on Tuesday , February 11 which will part of the State Horticulture Conference , and I will be attending the one day session on turf maintenance . 3 . Aquatics position - Staff has been meeting with the City of New Brighton to review the feasibility of a joint aquatics position between the Cities of New Brighton and Mounds View. We are hoping to have a proposal before the Park Commission at your February 27 Commission meeting , which you could review and discuss. At this time , it appears that we would be sharing the position with the City of New Brighton on a 60/40 basis, with the future status of Edgewood Community Center being a major factor . i
