Upcoming programs: Summer Parks program to include extended care for drop-off at 8:00 and pick-up at 6:00. Park program runs from 9-12 and 1-4 for half days; or full days 9-4. Due to Lambert Park construction, one program will operate at MVCC. New Brighton will have a different program this summer, so we may draw other participants from New Brighton. Even if not involved in the Park Program, children can participate for the Friday Field Trips for a fee. Early registration waives a $25 registration fee. Summer ball programs are open for registration. Looking for volunteer coaches. Spring Fling on April 16, 11-1:30. $5 per family. Looking for more Senior opportunities: Thursdays 10-11:30 MVCC will have bingo. Card Club begins 10-12 on Mondays. See MVMatters for details. B. Discuss Coach of the Year Process: Looking for a way to make the nomination process easier and include in program evaluations. Anyone who would like to nominate a coach should contact MVCC. Spiczka will tweak the program evaluation forms to include Coach of the Year nomination and bring to next Commission meeting for review. 8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Discuss Proposed Interior Revisions to Random Park Building. No recent response from MV Lions Club. Spiczka will contact other groups that use the building to see if they use that space and could live without the smaller room. 9. NEW BUSINESS A. Discuss Long Term Plan for Park Building & Shelter Locations and Associated Amenities If we want to keep the hockey rink at Lambert, we need a four-season building. Hillview would not be able to accommodate users from both Hillview and Lambert. Could eliminate Groveland ice skating to open up for more rental opportunities; or have it open only if no one has reserved it. Consensus is to move forward with Lambert Park Building. Perhaps make Groveland a more “homey” atmosphere to attract rentals if not used for ice skating. Consider making a comprehensive plan for each park. B. Review 2011 Proposed Park Improvements: Lambert Park ballfield and building and Hillview hockey rink are the two big items this year. C. Park Focus – Random Park: Need to fix ADA door. Need to get wood chips and remove sand. Needs repainting. Consider adding trees and minor landscaping. Roof replacement within next five years. 10. REPORTS A. Reports of Commission Members: Lambert Park still on track. Need to determine which commission/committee will take on the trailway system. B. Reports of City Staff: Ice rinks are done for the season. Working on interior building maintenance and summer preparation. Hiring four seasonal workers for the summer. Met with BBC and waiting for feedback. 11. REQUESTS FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS / OTHER BUSINESS A. Next Regular Commission Meeting: March 24, 2011 1. Review/Update Park Improvement Program (PIP) 2. Review 2010 Annual Report 3. Park Focus: 4.
