• MINUTES PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION APRIL 1, 1985 (No, these minutes are not a joke!) A meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission was called to order by Floyd Bedbury, Chairman, at 7:00 PM. Members present: Floyd Bedbury, Tom Montain, Paul Nelson, Keith Moderson, and Annette Geistfeld. 1. Debbie Trent-Sullivan and Connie Lasser were in attendance to express their concerns about the Falcon Heights recreation program. In summary, these were as follows: * not enough program offerings throughout the year * more offerings needed for girls * more offerings for preschoolers * after school programs * wages paid to employees were higher than the surrounding areas * need to get better qualified employees * need to have more employee evaluation use the money spent on programs more wisely * need to emphasize sportsmanship * list criteria and objectives for each offering * use Roseville and Maplewood programs as resources and models * better utilize volunteers 2. Salaries for summer employees were discussed. Debbie Trent-Sullivan and Connie Lasser stated that Roseville and Falcon Heights were paying their employees minimum wage. Perhaps $7.50/hour is too much for the supervisor. Floyd Bedbury expressed concern that we would be open to a law suit if the salary were decreased. As this is Laura Luttrell's first year as supervisor, the committee recommended a $6.00/hr. wage for the supervisor, $4.25/hr. for second year employees, and $4.00/hr, for first year employees. 3.
