<br />e <br /> <br />-- <br /> <br />81i ~~~flJon/td <br /> <br />July.l2, 1983 <br /> <br />I. The meeting was called to order by Mike O'Brien. Members present <br />were Darrell Mack, Ken Nelson and Rich Barakat. <br /> <br />II. Previous meeting's minutes were read and approved after a change <br />was made to item IV. A. <br /> <br />III. Treasurer's report was read and approved. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />eV. <br /> <br />IV. Old Business: <br /> <br />A. In addition to continuing the 1983 activities in 1984, the <br />following activities we~e discussed;~ <br /> <br />1. evening programs <br />2. soccer <br />3. gynmastics <br />4. canoeing <br />5. tubing <br />6. city sponsored tournament or race, i.e. horseshoes, <br />10 K race, cross-country skiing, canoe race, etc. <br /> <br />The need for some additional evening activities during the summer <br />is because children of two working parents are unable to part- <br />icipate in certain programs. This item will be discussed with <br />Dennis Carlson to see what possibilities might exist. <br /> <br />Most of the discussion focused on the potential for an Elk River <br />annual competition event. Since the July 4th celebration was <br />successful and will probably become an annual event, it was thought <br />that the Recreation Board should also participate by sponsoring <br />a coincident activity. Mike will discuss this item with Bob <br />Middaugh to see if the .City would be interested. (Subsequent to <br />our meeting, I contacted Bob and he does support this effort.) <br /> <br />Mike will send a letter to Dennis Carlson outlining the proposed <br />activities for the 1984 program. <br /> <br />B. With the addition of Rich Barakat to the Board, the Board is <br />at 7 members. Mike will send a letter to Bob requesting that the <br />Council confirm the present Board membership. Only Darrell and <br />Ken have been previously appointed. <br /> <br />C. As of July 11, about 510 participants are registered in the <br />1983 summer program. This number is slightly higher than anticipated, <br />but it does not pose a problem. The overall budget is in good shape <br />and it certainly appears that the first year will be successful. <br /> <br />New Business: <br /> <br />A. Mike received a phone call from Harold Gramstad regarding the <br />proposed Lion's park. It appears that the Recreation Board will <br />be involved in planning the park so that Board sponsored activities <br />can occur in the park. <br />
