• <br /> Item # 8. <br /> ifk <br /> River <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Park and Recreation Commission <br /> FROM: Michele Bergh, Manager <br /> DATE: April 29, 2002 <br /> SUBJECT: May 2002 Staff Report <br /> We have just completed our final list of offerings for this summer. Some of the additions <br /> which will be in the brochure delivered June 5th are pee wee sports in the evening as well as <br /> safety related classes such as first aid, CPR, firearm safety and more. Last year had 71 <br /> classes offered in Elk River for the summer compared to over 100 this year. Many classes <br /> are full. Summer Staffing is almost complete. We have a couple of small openings yet to fill <br /> and I am hoping to have that done within the week. <br /> Emporium will have its last concert of the season on May 10`h. We will be doing some <br /> concerts on a smaller scale at the band shell and these begin the last weekend in May. <br /> Lions Park Center is continuing to be busy. We have reserved another 100 hours of use <br /> during the last month bringing the total hours reserved so far to over 500. We will be <br /> updating the policy for this as well as the park shelters for non-profit groups soon. I am <br /> open to any suggestions and will try to bring some possible policies to the meeting for your <br /> review. <br /> Field use is under way this season. The master schedule for all sports is complete. We held <br /> a coaches training last month for Girls Fastpitch Softball where we also scheduled their <br /> practices for the season. We also held a meeting for Baseball to schedule their practices and <br /> review our policies. The meeting was well attended and we are in the process of sending out <br /> confirmations to everyone. We continue to work on an updated field use policy and hope to <br /> have one for review in June or July. <br /> The concession stand at the Orono complex opened the last week in April. We have been <br /> very busy preparing for this and it's nice to finally be in business. We were open Monday- <br /> Wednesday the first week and will add Thursdays once Girls Fastpitch begins using the <br /> • complex for their games. <br /> I <br />
