A list of <br /> suggestions and/or conversations noted from the trip was looked at in the September <br /> minutes. There was little discussion, however,the group was informed that these issues <br /> may be a part of the long term park plan that will be talked about at the <br /> November/December meeting. <br /> • Staff mentioned an opportunity brought forward by the New Brighton parks and <br /> Recreation Department. The thought is that there be a collaborative effort between <br /> Mounds View and New Brighton with Sunny Square Park. The cooperative could <br /> include programming, and possibly other arenas as well. Staff will contact New <br /> Brighton, let them know of the interest, and proceed from there. One concern that came <br /> from the discussion is that it is not usable for all ages. <br /> September and October programs were shared with the Commission, as well as total <br /> number of participants. A list of upcoming programs was also available. Some new <br /> highlights are: Youth basketball jamborees, Family nights/Parent's night out, Holiday <br /> session of swimming lessons and efforts to get kids to the Community center after school. <br /> In other business, Commissioner Sherry Gunn, and also 2000 Y Partners Campaign Chair <br /> spoke to the group regarding the campaign and also handed out pledge cards to each of <br /> them.
