1/12/96 December '95 / January '96 Community Recreation Board Staff Report Programming: - Current / Recent Activities: Mens VB, Women's VB, Sr. High Intramural VB, open gyms, Indoor walking, open weight room, skating lessons, gymnastics, open gyms, numerous special events, non school day activities, intramural basketball ( for Jr. & Sr. High ), adult volleyball, adult basketball, youth volleyball, cheerleading clinic, youth down hill skiing, pillow polo, "Start Smart". Several are new offerings, and are being provided in new locations. Program registration began Jan. 6th. The opening of registration generated approx. 100 more customers than at past opening registrations have netted. JA figured that within our first 11 hours of registration we dealt with 450 program registrations. That equates to approx. 1 registration every 90 seconds. We also supervise skating rink warming house staff for the following communities: Otsego, Elk River (2 sites), and Dayton. The warming houses have been open since approx. Dec. 16th. Miscellaneous Updates: - Youth Needs: As reported the past two months, the Elk River Mayor is interested in having the Community Recreation Board program work with the Community Youth Task Force (Rita Johnson), and Pam Black (a teen program specialist with Comm. Ed. ) to develop a plan to increase opportunities for teens ( specifically grades 6-9). The Mayor also asked us to consider how other community organizations could support these same efforts as well. ( not necessarily in the form of only funding, but human resources as well). The Mayor would like to hear our proposal the first part of 1996. We have since met on two occasions working on a proposal for the mayor. - Youth Association Co-op: This group involves representatives from Youth Baseball, Youth Soccer, and Girls Youth Softball ( outdoor programs ). JA has arranged for this group to meet with the Elk River Park Commission for the purpose of providing input to determine what types of fields should be a part of the planned development scheduled for construction to begin in spring of 1996. The associations met with the ERPC in December with preliminary discussion as to planning and funding support. JA has also helped them to coordinate their registration plans. -Office Changes: We are settled. Please feel free to visit. Discussions have again began that suggest some possible change of location for the CE Center offices. - Programming Development / Collaborations: (between Comm./Rec. and Comm. Ed.) Communication between all programming areas from the CE[ Center has thus far been adequate and we all believe there is plenty to provide to the region in terms of services and support.
