ITEM 18.B. <br /> • Staff Report <br /> Recreation Department <br /> March 2002 <br /> March-April Programming <br /> For the same time frame in 2001,we brought in$34,804 for Elk River programming. <br /> This year we have brought it over$60,000. This includes arena programming. Much of <br /> this is due to non-resident registration fees. Our programs are doing well and we are very <br /> busy with registrations. We are busier than we had imagined we'd be at this time. <br /> Programming for Summer <br /> We are programming for summer and the brochure goes to the printer on March 13`h. <br /> Our programs include playground programs,t-ball,tennis,tumbling, adult fitness, <br /> entertainment in the park and much more. Some of our new programs include <br /> kickboxing, an afternoon playground program and entertainment in the park geared more <br /> for adults. We will not be doing summer strength and speed or the football camp this <br /> summer as the high school coaches will be doing them on their own. <br /> Lions Park Center <br /> We are moved and operating out of Lions Park Center. Response has been very positive <br /> about the new facility and we love it. We are working out some of the last minute details <br /> • and look forward to landscaping and completion of the project this spring. We have <br /> reserved 498 hours of use so far in the new facility for a variety of programs including <br /> rec programs to senior dance classes to support group meetings, brownie troops, Chamber <br /> luncheons, Operation ER meetings, and a wedding. While most of the use has been for <br /> local non-profit groups, we are seeing some uses coming through that include a fee, <br /> which is needed to cover the operational expenses. <br /> Staff <br /> We are now officially at full staff in our office. Lana started on March 6th and we are <br /> now working on staffing summer programs. We will need to hire staff for our joint <br /> programming with the YMCA as well as our various programs. We will be running an <br /> ad in the newspaper and hope to have staffing completed by mid-April. <br /> Warming House Summary <br /> Lions <br /> Open—36 days <br /> Total Number of Users—approximately 1,100 <br /> Average Users Per Day—approximately 31 <br /> Handke <br /> Open—36 days <br /> Total Number of Users—approximately 1,400 <br /> • Average Users Per Day—approximately 40 <br />
