C.)CONSENT AGENDA: (All items approved as one motion, unless a Board member would like a <br />particular item discussed.) <br />C.1) Minutes from 11/17/97 <br /> <br />D.) STAFF REPORTS / INFORMATIONAL UPDATES: <br /> D.1) Youth Initiatives: Progress continues. Last meeting had several youth attend. A recent <br />opportunity has a risen that has some potential to affordably utilize a vacant store front to serve area <br />youth as a teen center on an interim basis until a more long term facility to accomplish the same goal <br />is in place. ( 2 are in the the planning phase: Watz Up Cafe Club, and a Boys and Girls Club) Work <br />with this age group has consistently suggested a place for youth ( other than a school site) is of great <br />interest. This has been a priority for the Youth Initiatives. We are currently involved with our <br />investigation and feasibility at this time. I expect to know more at our meeting that I can verbally <br />report. <br /> <br /> D.2) Winter Programs Update: The brochure will be delivered December 31st. We are currently <br />completing our planning and brochure development for winter activities. <br /> <br /> D.3) Joint meeting w/ECFE and CE Councils: This was also done last January and proved to <br />be quite informative about our program differences, similarities, and benefits associated with working <br />together. We would like to once again meet this year. We have set the meeting for Thursday January <br />8th. I would like to also extend this invitation to any Council or Township Supervisor, staff and related <br />Park/Commission members. <br /> <br /> D.4) Various Grant Information: I will have information available on different grant sources. I will <br />also share my thoughts on pursuit. <br /> <br /> D.5) lSD 728 Assessment to Associations: As I understand it, The school board has <br />implemented a $3 per participant surcharge to associations that are relying on school facilities to <br />conduct their program. This surcharge gets complicated for associations that utilize outdoor facilities, <br />as much of their service and maintenance for fields is managed by our office, (other than mowing and <br />fertilization) and supported with municipal resources. There has been some confusion with this new <br />charge. <br /> <br /> E.1) Approve 1998 Budget and Assessment formula: At the November meeting, the Budget <br />Committee presented their recommendation. It was favorably received by the Board and each <br />community was to consider it as part of their continued participation. With hopeful unanimous support <br />by all current communities, this budget can be approved. <br /> <br /> <br />
