already employs persons doing that same job at the schools - perhaps they could simply • add a person to the Community Center. The question would be who supervises this person, the School District or the City? 4. Community Center Custodial Services - Custodial services will also need to be addressed. Perhaps Community Education will take on the supervision of custodial services for the Community Center since they will need to have custodial services as does Children's Home Society. Perhaps the City could piggy-back custodial services of both Children's Home Society and Community Education. 5. Teen Center Supervision - The teen center is geared to attract those teens that do not have other activities such as afterschool sports or organizations. The teen center will hopefully be attractive enough to teens that they will choose to gather there during times when they are either unsupervised at home or"during period of freedom" where they have choices to make as to what they do. The Teen Center will hopefully provide positive activities, averting them from negative activities. Whereas Community Education has social workers and teacher on staff- it would be a great benefit if Community Education could devote some of their time or locate their workspace to the MV Community Center. In this way their presence may provide for facility supervision as well as teen supervision. Maybe something could be worked out. 6. Summer Playground Programs - The City has provided funding of up to $16,000 for • summer playground activities. Community Education may be interested in assuming the administration of the summer playground program. The program has been held at parks, but could just as well be held at school sites including Edgewood, Sunnyside and Pinewood Schools. 7. Winter Ice Rinks - The City has provided the supervision of neighborhood ice rinks, but certainly Community Education could assume this activity if they were interested. Youth of the community make up the majority of the Rink Attendants. Recruitment, training, weekly staff meetings and daily "checks" or supervision of staff is required. However, Community Education could possibly use current staff person to administer this program for the City of Mounds View. 8. Senior Citizen Program Coordination - Since Community Education already facilitates the Senior Advisory Council, oversees Congregate Dining at both New Brighton and Shoreview sites, perhaps Community Education would also assume the programming of senior citizen programs at the MV Community Center.
