3.1) Si~rv~,y Ra_SLIty; At the last regular meeting I handed out a copy of the survey that we initiated. i expect t~ have a compilation to report at this meeting. 3.2} Rovirm Playoround; At our last meeting R. Black was interested in the status of this new program. I have met with several local Commissions and expect to implement this program in some communities this summer. 3.3} New logo / la~ttgrh ad: A graphic artist has assisted. I will present the logo and lettefiead at the meeting. 3.4) Star News Proar . R Dort arti I :The 3/39/95 Star News issue included a story on our program. 1 found ft to be a good artiGe (except the spelling of my name) and I want to call it to your attention in case you missed it. 6.1) Work Session Organization: At our last meeting we spent a considerable amount of time discussing topics. I would like to review a list of possible items and make some selections and also set some simple "guidelines" to assist in keeping us on planning issues not micro-scoping issues. The list includes the following potential items: Field scheduling, facility development issues, roles and responsibilities related to municipal facilities, transportation issues, inclusion issues { how to best address serving those with disabilities in compliance with the ADA), office location, program brochure /marketing, communication barriers - (plus other inefficiencies of our structure), technology and affordability, volunteer management concepts, User fees /non-resident fees, registration, sattelite offices, Public relations, future trends, enterprise programming concepts, Please come prepared with other topics to add and or identify your priority items. B.2} Benefits study commi_ ttee: With respect to the growth of our programs, staff, etc. increased demands are • being placed on this position and the need for increased hours is rapidly creeping forward to full time capacity. I believe that now is a good time to begin exploring some benefits that could accompany the increased presence of this position. I understand that we already have a personnel committee, but it has been suggested at a prior meeting that this sort of study would be well served by inGuding some city adminisVative staff and a citizen at large. I would like to recommend the following committee representatives be asked to serve on such a committee: Gary Eitel, Shirley Slater, and Mike Kerr. B.3)~onsiderafion of Non- id nt f .e in r ^~ I have been wondering if perhaps the current fee is not "painful" enough. Several things to consider in relation to this such as: is this penalizing the youth?, some administrative hassles, might this foster even more abuse such as lying about their residency, etc. The benefit that I see is that this might rouse the consumer enough to take their issue to their local officials but only after we here from them first). We could properly arm them with some factual info. and send them out to visit with their local officials about our program, B.4) Gommuniiv R .ration Board rol /r en w/ f^cility ^dvocacy mgmnt etc :This topic was touched on briefly at the last meeting. It is likely to be a topic at the work session. Not necessarily to resolve but to perhaps simply determine ways that we can be advocates and communicators. It could be as simple as deciding to have periodic reports from the local community on their development plans, etc. Perhaps we invite some facility users to a meeting to share their input, needs, wants, etc 6.5) trat qic Planning; We are making progress. I am looking forward to the working session that appears to be imminent. Visiting other programs /inviting guests could be helpful. •
