Jeff also resigned from the Girls and Boys <br />Club Board. The Recreation Board felt that Jeff, as a staff member, should <br />not be a voting on issues which may ultimately involve Community <br />Recreation. Jeff continues to be available as a resource for both groups. <br /> <br />The Ice Arena Commission ordinance calls for a seven members, one of which <br />is the Community Recreation Director. The commission discussed its <br />membership at its last meeting on August 4 and unanimously recommended <br />that the ordinance be changed to replace the Community Recreation Director <br />with a member from the city Park and Recreation Commission. The intent of <br />the Ice Arena Commission is to foster better communication with the city <br />Park and Recreation Commission as they view ice arena activities as park <br />and recreation in nature and see the possibihty for many programs and <br />projects of mutual interest. <br /> <br />The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed this issue at its August 12 <br />meeting. The commission unanimously endorsed the recommendation from <br />the Ice Arena Commission. Chair Dana Anderson volunteered to be the Park <br />and Recreation Commission member who would sit on the Ice Arena <br />Commission and this also was unanimously endorsed by the commission. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Council adopt Ordinance 98- __ amending <br />Section 217.04 of the City Code entitled 'WIembers and Terms," whereby the <br />Elk River Area Community Recreation Director would be replaced by a <br />representative of the Elk River Park and Recreation Commission. <br /> <br />It is recommended that the Council appoint Dana Anderson to the Ice Arena <br />Commission with his term to expire on 12/31/99. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
