Call to Order: The meeting was called to order at 6:30 pm by Chairman Russ Schulze.
II. Introductions: Members of the 2009-2011 Parks and Recreation Board introduced
themselves and Russ provided background information about the Board's recent history.
III. Review and Approval of Minutes of the August 5, 2009 meeting: not presented
IV. Citizen Comments: Cindy Hassler said that she and the folks who started working out with
her at Colonial Park 10-15 years ago can hardly wait for the new facilities - they are "super
excited".
V. Development of Recreation and Leisure Programming Sub-Committee:
Janine explained that we will have 600 hours per week of programming space/time (10%
increase) in the new recreation facilities. We are looking for input from various interest
groups in the community, based primarily on age level. These groups will meet 4-5 times
over the next couple of months. Members of the Board will participate in each group and
report back to the Board.
Janine made a motion to establish the programming sub-committee.
John Cadena asked about non-resident usage of the new facilities. Tim said that initially
Colonial Park pool access will be limited to residents and their guests, but that the Rec
Center programs would be open to non-residents in order to support the facility. Residents
will be given priority for class reservations, however.
Teresa seconded Janine's motion. The vote in favor of establishing the subcommittee was
unanimous.
Janine indicated that the elementary school age group already has 25 volunteers. She
asked that Board members let her know which group(s) they would like to participate in.
VI. Fee Schedules for New Facilities:
Tim said that staff will make a proposal for the Board to review and approve. He is waiting
for Council to provide guidance on the rate of return they expect. He asked that Russ
serve on a subcommittee to review the staff proposal. Mardi and Kevin volunteered to
serve on the subcommittee with Russ. Tim will send the documents and schedule a
