We were packed like sardines, and your help in the hosting duties <br /> were very much appreciated. I think that the meeting was very interesting. We will <br /> need to discuss our reactions to the presentation of information and the reaction of the <br /> public. This is on our agenda. <br /> One agenda item that is particularly important for this meeting is the goals and <br /> objectives of the Commission - - to be recommended to the City Council. The Council / <br /> Department Head goal setting session is set for March 6 and 7. Therefore, this topic is <br /> • very timely. As you review our departmental goals, they are more task and activity <br /> orientated. I think that the Commission needs to be visionary orientated. One such <br /> example would be perhaps - commitment to budgeting for the installation of sections of <br /> trailways in the parks. . . or development of a revenue producing park facility such as an <br /> adventure golf course . . . or the advocating of facility modifications to comply with the <br /> American Disabilities Act. . . or the future plans for changing demographics and <br /> services relating to the RSCC. These may or may not be areas that you wish to <br /> recommend, but I hope that it gives you an idea of the type of direction that is needed <br /> in your goals and objectives. Also, I think that timelines and action plans need to be <br /> included in the recommendations. Therefore, think hard before this meeting to come <br /> up with some of your ideas for Parks and Recreation next year and in the future. <br /> Also, Councilmember Quick requested the Commission to discuss and recommend <br /> several ideas for the use of the land directly north of City Hall, which once was ballfield <br /> East. This is the area of the new water tower. <br /> The other agenda items will be explained as they come up during the meeting. I will <br /> hand out the Annual Report, and will share some information that I recently received <br /> regarding adventure golf courses. <br /> PRINTED WITH 0,, <br /> SOYINK 2401 Highway 10 • Mounds View, MN 551 1 2-1 499 D<:9 <br /> cv: d pper <br />
