One of our biggest summer city <br />programs, the Safety Camp, was recently completed and a five minute <br />video on this two day event is scheduled to be shown to the council. <br />Michele also will provide the council with an update on Emporium <br />activities. <br /> <br />Michele should be able to answer questions from the council about the <br />current status of city programs and what is on the horizon. <br /> <br />b. Discussion on Community Recreation Prolttam Options <br /> <br />Ever since Jeff Asfahl resigned as the Community Recreation Director <br />in May, options for the future of the Community Recreation Program <br />have been discussed and reviewed. Michele Bergh has been appointed <br />Interim Community Recreation Director and is doing a very good job <br />with these additional responsibilities. Accordingly, there is no great <br />urgency for a decision to be made on Elk River's future role with this <br />organization. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Whenever a major personnel change occurs within a department it <br />presents an opportunity for evaluation of the future direction of the <br />program or department. Such an evaluation is currently taking place <br />regarding the community recreation program and the city is <br />considering withdrawing from the organization and providing its own <br />municipal recreation programs. <br /> <br />f: \shrdoc \ council \comrecud.doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
