Attached for your review is the meeting agenda and some of the relevant background material for this Community Recreation Board meeting. Either Jeff and/or Roger will be in attendance at the City Council meeting and be able to provide an update to the Council on recent Community Recreation activities.

This item is listed on the agenda as E1 - Budget Committee Report. The Committee will be recommending a change in the funding formula of the organization in order to help address the concerns from the City of Otsego and hopefully retain this community as a member.
