Ms. McPherson stated that this issue is scheduled for August in the Park and Recreation Commission work plan. Lori Collins of the River City Snow Riders asked Terry Bye how the areas held up where the club placed the belting and wood chips.

What will be different when a change is complete? Define the role of: a. Park Director b. Park & Recreation Director c. Recreation Director 3. How will the new department be organized? (What components and staff that we already have will be utilized in this new structure?) 4. Cost a. What is the cost of making these changes? (what monies are available to aid in the transition?) b. What is the cost benefit of making these changes? (what monies will be saved in planning staff time, grants, etc.) 5. Implementation schedule? The Subcommittee will come up with answers to these questions and the information will be presented to the Park and Recreation Commission for their input, possibly at the July meeting.
