the Commission on January 251h for review. If this project proceeds, construction of Phase I
items is planned to commence first thing in the spring of 2007.
Phase II
Phase II is the creation of a playground area adjacent to the proposed soccer fields. The
Commission has indicated a desire to investigate playground packages of varying price ranges.
The Gametime web site displays numerous playground packages within three set cost ranges:
1. under $15,000, 2. $15,00 to $25,000, and 3. $25,00 to $35,000
A computer linked to the web site with the display on the large screen will be available at the
meeting to discuss various preferred playground packages.
Phase III
Disc Golf — An informational email was sent to the Parks Supervisor pertaining to costs and
recommendations for setting up a disc golf course.
6. New Business:
a.) Commission to Recommend Appointment to Vacant Commission Seat — The City has received two
applications for the vacant seat on the Parks and Recreation and Forestry Commission. These two
applicants were invited to attend the meeting.
b.) Park Dedication Fund Review — The budget sheet and Park Improvement Program was last updated in
June of 2006. A full review and update discussions of the Park Improvement Program should be
scheduled for the February 22°d Commission meeting.
c.) County Road 10 Trailway Project: Segments 1 -5 DNR Grant Application — The City will be submitting
grant applications for Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Trailway Grant Program. There are two
types of DNR Trailway grants the City will be applying for; Local Tail Connection Program and the
Federal Recreational Trail Program. The City Council approved a resolution of support for these grant
applications on January 22, 2007. In addition to the resolution of support, letters of support from
various agencies (including the Commission) will increase our probability of being successful. Staff
will present a letter of support to the Commission for consideration of execution.
d.) Park Watch Program — Is this a program the Commission wants to implement? What would it entail?
e.) Bethlehem Baptist Church: Dedication of Funds — Annually the Bethlehem Baptist Church makes
donations to several charitable organizations. It would be advantageous for the City to create a list of
civic items that would benefit from such a donation and submit this to the Bethlehem Baptist Church.
f.) YMCA Advisory Committee Appointments — With expiration of Shari K.unza's term on the
Commission, there is a vacancy on the YMCA Advisory Committee on which she served. The YMCA
Advisory Committee meets on the first Monday of the month at 2:30 PM. Are there any Parks and
Recreation Commission members who wish to volunteer for serving on this committee?
g.) Meeting with City Council — Annually the Commission meets with the City Council. Is there a
preferred work session date on which the Commission would like to meet — March 5, April 2, or May
7? Also, the Commission may want to develop a list of agenda items and topics to discuss with the City
Council.
h.) Town Hall Meeting April 14, 2007 — The 3rd Annual is scheduled for April 14, 2007. There will be a
table/booth set up for Parks. What would the Commission like to have available for display at this
booth? (The new "Facility Guide", photos and info on new park buildings, Oakwood Park project...).
Also, the City will be creating a promotional video that will be shown on cable TV and at the Town
Hall Meeting. This video will have a segment (5 to 10 minutes in length) showing parks facilities. It
will also include / make mention of the parks facility guide that was recently created. What items /
facilities would the Commission like to see in this promotional video?
7. Commissioner/Staff Reports:
a) Random Park Building Status Report
b) Groveland Park Building Status Report
c) Indoor Playground Equipment at the Mounds View Community Center Report
d) Skating Rink Update
e) County Road 10 Trailway Project: Segments 9&10 Project Update — On January 8, 2007, the City
Council approved the plans and specification and set a bid date of February 8"' for this project. The
drinking fountain and bike racks were removed from the plans as per the Commission's
recommendations. On January 22, 2007, the City Council made a motion to direct Staff to facilitate the
creation of revised plan sheets and specifications to include a bid alternate to deduct the boardwalk
bump out area. The estimated cost of the boardwalk bump out area is $4,900; the cost to revise the
plans and specs and change the bid documents is estimated to be $1,200 to $1,500.

Staff present: Lee, Dazenski, McIntyre
2. Approval of minutes from the November 16, 2006 meeting. Motion by Kunz, 2nd by Arel.
Motion passed 6-0
3. Public Input - Citizens are encouraged to speak to the Park, Recreation and Forestry Commissioners on
issues of concern. No citizens present
4. YMCA Update: McIntyre: new indoor playground installed, new fitness equipment available for resident
use, new staff will be hired, waiting for ice rinks. Starting fundraising campaign which helps residents
afford YMCA programs. Garage sale in February.
5. Unfinished Business:
a.) Oakwood Park Proposal
Phase I
A topographical survey of where the soccer fields are proposed to be located was completed.
This information has been sent out to several grading contractor to solicit quotes for grading
activities associated with Phase I activities for Oakwood Park.
Quotes for other Phase I items such as irrigation, fencing, and seeding will be submitted to the
Commission on January 25`x' for review along with the grading quotes. If this project proceeds,
construction of Phase I items is planned to commence first thing in the spring of 2007.
Phase II
Phase II is the creation of a playground area adjacent to the proposed soccer fields.
Staff has developed plan that shows possible playground equipment choices that cover the age
group the Parks and Recreation Commission requested - for ages 10 and under with swing set
including 2 belts and 2 bucket seats. Staff presented playground at $44,900 including fiberfill
and edging. (playground equipment $33,600 with age 2-5 and up to 12). Not including staff
installation. July minutes indicated playground budget around $14,700, however the
commission indicated an older age range. Commissioners can check out other options on-line
www.garnetime.com. Request staff to ask for 2 options in the $15,000 and $25,000.
Phase III
Disc Golf — Information of New Brighton's disc golf use / demand will be presented at the
meeting. Staff is still waiting on receiving a sketch of a possible / proposed course. New
Brighton does not have a measured use of their disc golf, but did indicate it does get heavy use.
b) T -Mobile's proposal to construct a building and antenna pole at Groveland Park
Motion by Palm, 2nd by Kunza to reject any and all proposals to rent Groveland Park space for
the installation of communication equipment. Discussion included encouraging T -Mobile to explore
other options such as Abiding Savior Church. Commission needs to be careful to consider this type of
usage in any of our parks, including Arden Park as it could set precedence. T -Mobile has changed their
options regarding the building/structure which would interfere with the park aesthetics and usage,
despite monetary benefits. Groveland is a park and needs to stay a park. Motion Passed 6-0.
6. New Business:
a.) County Road 10 Trailway Project: Segments 9&10 Plan Review — Review the draft plans and provide
recommendation. Motion by Aukee, 2" d by Kunz to eliminate the drinking fountain and bike
racks as currently shown for segments 9 &10. Motion Passed 6-0.
b.) County Road 10 Trailway Project: Segments 1-5 DNR. Grant Application — The City will be submitting
a DNR Trailway grant application for this project. Letters of support from various agencies (including
the Commission) will increase our probability of being successful. Commission reviewed letter of
recommendation for previous grant and suggested staff revise and bring to January meeting for
commission approval.
c.) Set 2007 Meeting Dates — a draft schedule has been developed with the meeting scheduled for the forth
Thursday of the month (except for March, November and December which will be the third Thursday)
c.) Commission to recommend a Chairperson, Appoint a Vice -Chairperson, and Secretary
Motion by Kroeger, 2"d by Kunza to appoint Jerry Kunz for Chairperson, Arel for Vice -
Chairperson, and Palm as Secretary. Motion Passed 6-0
7. Commissioner/Staff Reports:
a) Random Park Building Status Report
As part of an Eagle Scout Project, the interior space of the Random Park Building was primed this
last weekend. The process went well. The same group will be painting the building next Saturday.
The carpet contractor will be installing the carpet on Thursday, December 29th. Suggested to invite
the scouts to attend next meeting for recognition with a certificate.
b) Groveland Park Building Status Report
There was a glitch with the overhang; the material was not thick enough to accommodate the length
of nails specified. The contractor had to put a layer of 5/8" plywood on the overhang before it could
be shingled. The rest of the project is going well. The A/C unit has been installed and most of the
mechanical work nearly completed. There was vandalism at Groveland shelter over the weekend,
two screens were slashed and one window was broken.
c) Indoor Playground Equipment at the Mounds View Community Center Report
The playground equipment has been put together. There just needs a few things tweaked and the
foam covering can be installed. Cost is $1.00 for ages 1-9 years for 45 -minute time block.
Residents can rent this space as part of birthday party rental at MVCC.
d) Skating Rink Update
Weather permitting; the City is planning on opening the skating rinks the day after Christmas.
e) Rental Fee Structure
The Rental Fee Structure, as submitted by the Parks and Recreation and Forestry Commission, was
approved by the City Council on December 11th. These fees go into effect on January 1, 2007.
f) Facility Guide Update
3,000 copies are being printed. Copies may be available at the meeting.
Copies will be available at City Hall and at the Mounds View Community Center. They will also be
available at special events such as the Annual Town Hall Meeting and the Festival in the Park. It
will also be made available on the City's web site.
g) Recycling Containers in Park Buildings – The recycling budget allows for placement of recycling
containers within the park building. They have been ordered for Hillview, Groveland, and Random Park
Buildings and the Mounds View Community Center for glass and aluminum.
h) Hillview Parking Lot
On November 16th the Commission made a motion to recommend construction of a parking lot at
Hillview Park as part the 2007-2008 Street and Utility Improvement Project. This motion was based
on receiving neighborhood support and utilizing Municipal State Funds to finance the construction.
The City Council has indicated support for this recommendation. Official approval would be
obtained on February 13, 2007, should the City Council order the street and utility project.
i) Shari Kunza has decided not to extend her term on Parks and Recreation and Forestry Commission.
The Parks and Recreation and Forestry Commission, along with staff, would like to thank Shari for
her hard work, dedication, and commitment to improving park amenities and recreation activities in
the City of Mounds View. The City Council will officially recognize Shari via a Resolution of
Appreciation on January 8, 2007.
j) Vacant Parks and Recreation and Forestry Commission Seat

If the "Rainier Pride" in the under $15,000 category is not a mistake I
think it would be a good option for Oakwood. The only thing I could see
as problem is its minimum use zone which is 60' X 43'. Steve, would
this fit in our area understanding that we may lose the swings.

Mr. Dazenski
Thank you for the opportunity to work with the City of Mounds View. I
have visited Greenfield Park and have determined that it could sustain a
disc golf course on its northern, central and eastern portions of the
park. I believe that with some creative design work we could install up
to eighteen baskets without impacting the neighbors that back up to park
land, and you would gain a park amenity that draws people from all over
to your community to play.
The area immediately east of the ball field, all the way to half way
across the park on the south of the creek, is unusable due to
considerable wet land. The strip of park land between the homes along
Hillview Road and Lois Drive is also not desirable because it is too
close to the neighbors, and I feel that errant throws would encroach on
them. The remaining park land is reasonably dry, wooded with occasional
openings, with a little elevation change along the north side, a
confluence of a couple of creeks, and would make a good site for a disc
golf course.
I envision a course that begins from the southeast, shooting northward a
couple of holes and then there would be a small walk to the next tee due
to the narrow property between neighbors. The holes then would continue
north, then west over to the creek along Jackson, then south, east
again, and finishing back to the south end of the park on Quincy and
Jackson. Distances would vary from 150-500', and would incorporate much
of the water as hazardous areas to shoot over. There is a good
possibility that we can make the course in to a double -loop that gives
your players the option at some point to play a nine -hole OR an
eighteen -hole layout. By offering this option we can increase the daily
course traffic by adding the alternative lunchtime players or others
that who do not have time to play the full eighteen.
My recommendation is for a basket with a 24 -chain configuration. This
gives the disc golfer a better catching capability with less
"blow -through", and therefore a better disc golf experience. The baskets
will be galvanized for durability, (the Innova DisCatcher is a stainless
and galvanized combination). I am suggesting a direct pipe -to -concrete
installation process (theft deterrent ), since there will be little room
alternate pin positions. There are three manufacturers that I would
recommend for Greenfield Park. Both Disc Golf Association
(www.discgolfassoc.com) and Discraft (www.discraft.com) make a 100 %
galvanized basket. The Innova DisCatcher (www.innovadiscgolf.com) has a
powder -coated stainless steel head assembly with galvanized post and
basket. (For removable sleeve/collar assemblies, add $35 each basket to
the prices).
The DGA prices are posted on their web site for their pole holes. I
recommend the Mach V `No Frills' basket. DGA's pricing on 18 baskets is
$5670.00 ($315 each). Their Mach III is the most popular basket, priced
at $6786.00 for 18 of the finest basket available, ($377.00 each).
Discraft's Chainstar basket price is $6354.00 ($353 each), for 18
baskets. Innova has a new chain configuration on their DisCatcher which
works very well. Their basket is probably the sturdiest basket of the
three. The top head assembly is typically yellow, but other colors and
custom designs are available. Visibility is one key advantage of this
basket. Basket choices should be determined by the design, and once the
final design is complete I will be able to narrow down the best basket
for the application. We are able to provide samples of the various
baskets, and the different features will be pointed out so that you
understand why a specific basket is being recommended. All these prices
do not reflect additional freight.
Signage is also highly recommended. Signage at each tee pad gives the
golfer direction, distance and other information necessary to plan the
throw. Tee signs are available from Innova ($35-152), the DGA ($85.00),
or any local sign vendor. Placement for the tee sign should be marked
off to the side of the tee pad and out of the way. I will supply basic
signage information as part of the design process. Additional sign
artwork can also be arranged. It is also recommended to have a course
map at the beginning, typically on a kiosk set to the side of hole #1.
Tee pads can be simple or extravagant. Hard surface tee pads of textured
cement or asphalt are preferred. The preferred size is 4 ft wide by at
least 12 ft long. Maximum size is 6 ft wide by 15 ft long with the back
end flaring out to 9 feet wide. The front edge of tee areas must be
indicated by the leading edge of the cement, asphalt, or by a tee board
buried flush in the ground with a crushed rock area behind it in a
rectangle shape. The choice of materials is up to you to decide. Asphalt
or Class 5 aggregate rock will work OK if it is necessary to keep costs
down. Tee pad sizes will be determined by the length of the specific
holes. (Longer hole = longer tee area).
Fairway Flyerz is happy to place your basket order for you. The benefits
for the city to utilize Fairway are two -fold. You have our assurance
that only the correct products will be ordered for your application and
future needs will match the existing units, and lead times may be
reduced due to Fairway Flyerz' buying power and experience with the
vendors. Installation direction is also offered at no charge if you
purchase baskets through Fairway Flyerz. If requested, Fairway Flyerz
can install the baskets, signage and tee pads, and clear the fairways.
Let me know and I will formulate a quote for installation.
Last but certainly not least is the design and on-site course marking.
The design fee will be $900.00 for a nine -hole design, and an additional
$600.00, (totaling $1500), for a complete 18 -hole design. You will
receive a comprehensive layout that accentuates the features in your
park. It will adhere to stringent length and difficulty standards while
retaining safety issues, (both personal and environmental) so it can be
played and enjoyed for many years. The course will be marked for
installation and lengths will be verified after the installation for
submission to the Professional Disc Golf Association. You will be kept
informed on the progress and will be requested to walk the course and
approve the final design. Let me know if you have any questions or wish
to place an order. Thank you for making Disc Golf part of Mounds View's
recreational offerings. I am certain that you will be pleased with the
feedback from your new course.
Sincerely,

isc golf, with its flying discs
and holes that are closer to
the sky than the ground,
may not be quite what you
think it is. And if you're
not careful, the sport may just hit you
in the head before your facility is ready
to handle it.
'The sport of disc golf is growing
quickly. In fact, disc manufacturers esti-
mate incredible growth in the next few
years for the unique sport of disc golf,
which tasks players with landing a disc
into a person -sized basket on a pole, or
"hole." Harold Duvall, part owner of
Innova Champion, a disc manufacturer
says, "We've seen steady annual growth
in the neighborhood of 15 percent over
the past 20 years and expect that yearly
growth to continue for the next 20. At
this rate, communities and regions with
existing courses will need roughly twice
their current disc golf capacity in just
five to seven years and many con-ummni-
ties haven't vet started." Duvall's obser-
vation begs the question: are park and
recreation facilities ready for the jump
in disc golf popularity?
by Chuck Kennedy
Course Development
and Increased Play
Disc golf., sometimes referred to as Fris-
bee") golf, is played like regular golf
except that a disc: is thrown in place of
using a club to hit a ball. Players start
from each tee and make sequential
throws playing their next throw from
their previous lie like golf until holing
out into a metal basket. "The player tak-
ing the least number of throws after 9
or 18 holes is the winner.
Players carry a bag of discs with dif-
ferent flight characteristics that typi-
cally includes several for driving, ap-
proaching and putting. The sport offi-
cially became disc golf in the 1970s
following the invention of the basket
by founder Steady Ed Headrick. He
watched players informally making up
their own games by using objects like
trees, light poles and fire hydrants as
targets.
A nine -hole recreational disc golf
course requires a mininncuu of five acres
and a championship course requires
upwards of 30 acres.. To support this
growth, park and recreation managers
will need to find public property where
disc: golf players can be free to throw
and toss.'Fhey should also look at the
viability of developing private facilities
I ather than public courses that are the
standard in most communities.
For example, the metro area of the
twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul,
Minn., has been a hotbed of disc golf
activity. There are currently 30 courses
within a half-hour drive of the inter-
state that loops around the cities. More
than half of the suburbs either have
public, courses or have determined they
don't currently have suitable property
for one.
There are a number of ways for park
and recreation departments to deal pos-
itively with growth, and even produce
income to more than justify the cre-
ation of one. If you don't have disc golf
in your community yet, you may dis-
cover ways to economically justifj! and
fund a new course.
One of the most straightforward—
but not necessarily the easy ways to
generate funds for a new coutse—is
to collect sponsorship for the basket,

Disc golf has become more popular since its initial conception in the 1970s,
cement tee pad and sign for each hole.
For existing courses, one effective
way to beautify and maintain holes is to
develop an "Adopt -a -hole" program.
Usually private parties will adopt a hole
and work to upkeep landscaping, add
benches and perform periodic clean up.
The local disc golf club can be an
excellent source for course help. At a
minimum, many of the higher level
players in the area are known to occa-
sionally carry plastic bags for course
cleanup in their recreational rounds, If
you don't yet have a disc golf club and
you have avid disc golf players, it may
be to your benefit to advocate for the
formation of one.
Creative Income Sources
Perhaps it is time to consider ways to
generate some income from the disc
golfers to help defray general mainte-
nance expenses. Charging a fee for each
round is not the only way. Another way
is to sell discs and other items at a park
location where you already have
staffing. For example, an indoor swim-
ming facility near a course outside of
Washington, D.C., has annually sold
about $12,000 in discs for several years.
Not very many sites have established
infrastructure onsite from which to
generate income. But if you can, it can
pay off handsomely- The Three Rivers
Park District that manages the Hyland
Ski & Snowboard Area (HSSA) in
Bloomington, Minn., has been sur-
prised and pleased with the income
they've generated from greens fees
and discs sales by using their ski areas
as disc golf courses in [lie off-season.
Despite a short first season, the money
they made was substantial. The district
managed a golf driving range on the
ski hill in the summer- so their infra-
structure and staffing were actively in
place. Placing disc golf courses on ski
hills for alternate season use is a fast
growing and surprisingly successful
phenomenon.
Contract Services
If the community facilities don't have a
place to sell discs or the headquarters
location is too far away for players to
stop by casually, park and recreation
departments can consider opening a
contract for bid to local disc entrepre-
neurs. This model continues to work
well in central Texas. A local vendor
pulls a trailer by truck into the park
each day, selling discs and snacks under
contract with the city, resulting in a
financially viable business.
The largest disc golf contract opera-
tion is currently the Morley Field
course in San Diego, Calif. Snapper
Pierson has had a contract with the city
36 PARK%&R ECRE AT i0h. JANUARY 2007
to build, manage and run the disc golf
course since the late 1980x. Considering
this course has almost had monopoly
standing since then, let alone year-
round great weather, it should be no
surprise how well Pierson and the city
are doing. The city receives a substantial
cut of the six -figure income the course
generates. Morley Field generates rev-
enues from greens fees, disc, apparel

states,"The key to the success and pirp
ularity of our pay course is having a
high quality facility designed by profes-
sionals that's well maintained. We're
attracting golfers from all over the Mid-
west. Our revenues cover all of our
maintenance expenses and more, allow-
ing for continued course improve-
ments," says Marsh. The county plans
to expand the existing course by nine
holes and add future courses..
Tournament Courses
If the course is the right size, there's an
opportunity to gain revenue by hosting
tournaments in addition to local
leagues. While these events will likely
generate more expenses for the park
and recreation budget, off -setting these
w expenses can be as simple as charging

and snack sales plus disc rentals.
Pierson says, "This year we plan on
moving and expanding our shop to
near hole I and turning our present
shop into a'19th hole'snack shop
restaurant. This should allow us to dou-
ble our current revenue stream over the
next several years and help generate
even more money for the cash-strapped
city. Making this section of the park the
most beautiful enhances property val-
ues of nearby homeowners and gener-
ates more than $50,000 for the city cof-
fers
olfern each year."
If staff doesn't want to deal with
merchandise sales, perhaps charging for
greens fees seems appropriate. One effi-
cient way is to use an unattended honor
kiosk with pay envelopes and a lock box
where random spot checks by a ranger
or summer staff are all that's needed.
That's worked well for Dane County's
Vallarta-Ast Disc golf Course at Token
Creek near Madison, Wis. Permanent

courseleval/index.plip. The process is
still in its initial phase with only about
1.00 courses evaluated.
While the primary intent for the rat-
ings is to help players determine which
courses they might want to play in their
local area or when traveling, the next
step will be for these evaluations to
determine which courses are suitable
for hosting events at all levels, including
major championships. Convention and
visitors' bureaus are actively pursuing
large sporting events for their areas.
If a community is considering build-
ing a course for tournament use, using
a qualified course designer will go a
long way toward achieving a safe and
successful course, a good evaluation
and increasing the potential for hosting
higher level events. T he Disc Golf
Course Designer (DGCD) group has
more than 100 members dedicated to

pursuing excellence in course design.
All members are dedicated to doing a
good job and have knowledge of the
Sport.
Major Event Hosting
Lest you think a large metro area is re-
quired for major events, consider that
Rocl: Hill, S.C., Peoria, Ill., and Augusta,
Ga., were hosts of major events in 2006
with past hosts including Rochester,
N.Y. and Flagstaff, Ariz. 111 2007, the Pro
World Championships will be held in
the small town of Highbridge, Wisc.,
which has a population of 42.
So, is the timing right for park and
recreation departments to make some
money on disc golf? Maybe. Is it time
your park and recreation department
looked into some of these ideas? Per-
haps. `fall to a park and recreation
department with a disc golf course_
chances are, they think the facility is a
real hole -in -one. e

January 24, 2007
Dear Grant Reviewer:
The Mounds View Paries, Recreation and Forestry Cominission would like to extend our
FULL support for the City of Mounds View in their grant application to implement a trail
system along County Road 10, which runs through the center of our community.
This trail extension would connect neighborhoods to the heart of our city's business
district, the city's largest park and the county library system. A trail way at this point on
the corridor would allow residents, including local senior and disabled residents, to
interact within our community SAFELY with both pedestrian and non -motorized traffic
separated from the motor vehicles on County Road 10, The tentative trail way plans
include a boardwalk overlooking wetland areas, a pocket park near senior housing, and a
reading area near the library; it would also connect to other trail way systems in our
community.
This commission is always looking for ways to improve our community's recreational
opportunities and feel that this project would be very beneficial to the residents as well as
commuters passing through. We thank you for your consideration of the City of Mounds
View's proposal. If you have any questions, please do no hesitate to contact our
commission chairperson, John Kioeger, at (76 )) 780-8638.
Sincerely,
The City of Mounds View
Parks, Recreation and Forestry Commissioners:

on the Disbursement of
"The Bethlehem Baptist Church Mounds View Service Project Fund"
With input from members of the Mounds View City Council, Mounds View Park

Center for scholarships and program development
6. $2005 to CEAP (Community Emergency Assistance Program) for
assistance to, and support of, families in crisis in Anoka and Northern

Additionally we recommend that the first-half donation of the 2006 "TIF Note
Gift" ($2550) be placed in the EDA Fund to be used for activities that continue to
support the economic climate of the city of Mounds View.
Respectfully submitted February 1, 2006 on behalf of Bethlehem Baptist Church.

Subject: January YMCA Meeting
The Council appointed Council members Al Hull and Joe Flaherty to the YMCA Advisory Committee on Monday. I've
drafted a tentative agenda for January 8th, but think we might want to give Joe and Al more time to arrange their calendars
aand Park and Rec. Commission a chance to appoint a new member. What about February 5th for the first meeting? We
could also have some of the items better developed by that time,
What do you think? -Kurt

Town Hall Meeting Preparation
Dave,
A couple of other projects I'd like to see for the April 14th town meeting:
1) Promotional piece for the town meeting (1 minute or less)
[2) Parks facilities and Parks guide program showing the new guide and the facilities tity Parks have to offer (5-10 minutes)
3) Promotional video on the Community Center/Banquet Facility to show at the town meeting
and to use as a promotional piece (5 minutes or less)
#1 above would be the highest priority if we could have that running by the end of
February, it would be great. The other 2 items should be done by by March 21st. Both of
these will be run at the town meeting and on cable (and maybe the web page) before and
after the town meeting. Please let me know if you need further guidance or assistance.
Thanks.
-Kurt

Hi Des!
I've taken care of it through CTV. I'm waiting for a call
back from them. They will probably send me the paper work by
fax and I'll get it taken care of.
