MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />FROPh <br /> <br />Michele Bergh, Recreation Manager <br /> <br />DATE: May 17, 2004 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: City Recreation Update <br /> <br />Hot Topic(s) of the Month <br />Lions Park Center construction project was approved by Council in April. Work is being <br />coordinated and began May 5th. The ton costume donated by the Elk River Lions arrived. <br />Our summer program guide hit the streets April 7th. Registration is in full swing for summer <br />programs. The Leadership Class sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce visited Lions <br />Park Center and I did a presentation on what types of services our department provides as <br />~vell as doing a Yoga at Your Desk class. With the nice weather, we have had many requests <br />for Hillside Seasonal Passes as well. The annual ice show takes place in May so April is busy <br />with planning and preparations. I also conducted training for Girls Softball and certified <br />over 30 of their coaches with the National Youth Sports Coaches Association, which <br />provides them with additional liability insurance. <br /> <br />April Programs <br />During the month of April, the programs we had running were U Pass fitness classes, Egg <br />Hunt, Parent's Night Out, Tumbling - daytime and evening, 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament, <br />Pee Wee Basketball, Skating Academy and Breakaway Hockey. Breakaway Hockey serves <br />just under 300 participants so registration time is very busy for us. <br /> <br />Special Marketing Efforts <br />We used the Egg Hunt and our participation in the Lincoln and Meadowvale School <br />Carnivals for special marketing this month. <br /> <br />Facility. Use <br />We reserved 261 hours of use occurring in April. Of this, 93 hours was for Lions Park <br />Center. We are still coordinating field use between the associations and lSD 728 as well. <br /> <br /> <br />
