Park and Recreation Commission Memo Page 3 August 1, 1990 • Agreement for recreation purposes . Discussion is taking place between the Community Education Director, Charlie Blesener, and myself regarding a School District wide meeting to discuss the future of the recreation programs in the area. The system that is in place has worked well in the past, but with the growth and development in the area, adjustments are required in order for the continued effectiveness of this School District wide program. These three areas, plus the summary statements under the proposed park system and the two Master Park plans previously reviewed by the Commission, compose the essential elements of the Master Park Plan. A final recommendation is anticipated by the Commission at this meeting so that this plan can go through the official approval process by the Planning Commission and City Council. 6 . STAFF UPDATES : Updates from Charlie, Phil, and myself are anticipated on a variety of topics. These topics include the resurfacing of the • tennis courts, progress on the Handke pit warming house, City Council action on the Woodland Trails Park Master Plan and Hillside Park Master Plan, plans being made for the Janie Fricke concert at Lion' s Park on August 18, summer and fall recreation programs, and park improvements completed this summer and proposed this fall (See attachment) . An additional comment should be made about an update on the 1991 Parks and Recreation Commission budget. Historically, the Commission is extensively involved in the Capital Outlay expenditures for parks and has limited input on the annual operating budget for parks and recreation. Nonetheless, attached for your information are four pages from the 1990 general fund budget relating to parks and recreation. The 1991 budget is anticipated to be very similar. The Truth in Taxation Law requires the City to adopt a proposed maximum levy and budget by September. The final budget will be approved in December and cannot exceed these proposed maximum amounts . Input from the Commission on the operating budget is welcome. 7 . Other Business Dave Anderson may want to update the Commission on activities at the softball complex. The Commission may want to review a possible name for the. approximately one-half acre play lot park that is proposed for the Barrington Place neighborhood.
