Anderson, Director <br />Parks, Recreation and Forestry <br />DATE: December 2.2, 1983 <br />RR: MEED Grant <br />Staff has submitted another proposal and received initial funding <br />for one additional HEED Grant person. The individual that we <br />would like to have employed under the HEED Grant, is Ms. Le Ann <br />Linder, as a wellness coordinator or lifestyle/health and fitness <br />coordinator. As I'm sure you noticed in the January/February <br />Newsletter, we have been working with the City of New Brighton in <br />developing a lifestyle/health and fitness program with the objec- <br />tive of building a community of healthy, active people. Part of <br />that program will include wellness education and activity class <br />activities that will help motivate individuals to make healthier <br />lifestyle choices. <br />Ms. Linder has a background in health and physical education from <br />the University of Minnesota and Bemidji State University. Her <br />past experience includes: An instructor at St. Olaf College for <br />three years, and head women's coach of tennis and volleyball. <br />We feel very fortunate to have <br />background within our department <br />her in further development of a <br />someone of LeAnn's expertise and <br />and look forward to working with <br />wellness program. <br />Ms, Linder will be making a presentation to the Parks and Recrea- <br />tion Commission on Thursday, January S at a special Parks and <br />Recreation Commission meeting, regarding the wellness and healthy <br />lifestyle program and hope to make a similar presentation to the <br />City Council as to how staff envisions the healthyWlifestyle pro - <br />and <br />gram tying in with local industry, the Cit7 of <br />the Mounds View residents. <br />Once again, as you are aware, the HEED Grant does not cost the <br />City any money and offers us the opportunity to explore some new <br />program areas which we will be able to maintain through our ex- <br />isting staff once they are established in the future. Staff will <br />be on hand to review any questions or comments you may regarding <br />the HEED Program and Ms. Linder's background, at Monday evening's <br />Council meeting. <br />RCOMMENDATION: To authorize taff to <br />in MS. <br />der as <br />aEheal� festyle/wellness scoordinator ato be paid nforinout of <br />the HEED Grant application. <br />BKA/sll <br />
