ITEM # 7.a. <br /> Elk River Park and Recreation Commission <br /> Community Recreation Update - February 10, 1999 <br /> • - Sleigh Ride Update: Taking place this coming Saturday 2/13 from 2 - 4 pm. We are <br /> 9 9 <br /> expecting about 30 families (120- 130) people. ECFE and CE are providing fun <br /> activities for children to enjoy as well. This should be a nice event. <br /> - Interest in a Winterfest Event for next year: As part of the CBD Visioning that has been <br /> taking place over the last few months, one of the identified initiatives is to develop a <br /> Winterfest type event. Lions Park was the suggested location. Please find an action <br /> plan as developed by the CBD visioning process enclosed. I will plan to better review <br /> this item at your meeting. How does the Park and Recreation Commission feel about <br /> this idea? <br /> - Youth Athletic Complex Guidelines: Please find a draft enclosed. Some of you may <br /> recall this from last Winter. This document is important to Youth Baseball and Girls <br /> Fastpitch Softball as they are trying to finish up the final understanding of priority at <br /> YAC as they have been significant financial contributors. Please review the document. <br /> will be looking for approval and a recommendation to Council that this be adopted. <br /> - Summer ' 99 program planning: The summer brochure goes to print on April 9th. We <br /> will soon begin our program planning. I will appreciate any ideas on programs that you <br /> may have. Please think on this and share your thoughts. To "prime your pump", the <br /> following is a review of past programs that our department has offered: t-ball, various <br /> sports camps and clinics, gymnastics, rollerskating at the arena, park entertainment <br /> series, organized playground programs, weekly miscellaneous structured events such <br /> as; carnivals, wacky olympics, etc., track and field, youth golf leagues, youth tennis, <br /> football clinics, strength and conditioning, safety camp. <br /> I will look forward to hearing some of your ideas. <br /> - February 1st Joint meeting update: Thanks to Lana and Duane for their participation. <br /> It was a good start of a process that will only grow richer. <br /> Please call me with any questions. 241-3523. <br /> • <br />
