<br />ITEM 3.5. <br /> <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />PAT KLAERS, CITY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FEBRUARY 4, 1993 ~ . <br />PARK & RECREATION ~DATIONS <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />At the last Park & Recreation meeting on February 3, 1993, the <br />Commission offered some comments on a number of City issues. <br />These comments are summarized in the following paragraphs. <br /> <br />The Commission concurred that a March 8, <br />with the City Council following <br />acceptable. Accordingly, this meeting <br />called by the City Council. <br /> <br />1993, joint meeting <br />the EDA meeting was <br />should be formally <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Regarding this joint meeting, I anticipate that there will be <br />other non Park and Recreation Commission items that need to be <br />addressed by the City Council, but the focus of this meeting <br />will be a parks and recreation discussion between the <br />Commission and Council. No agenda items have been established <br />for this joint meeting, however, it is appropriate that Jeff <br />Asfahl, 728 Area Recreation Coordinator, be in attendance to <br />present his annual report on the status of the program, <br />accomplishments from last year, and goals for 1993. <br /> <br />The Commission acknowledged the resignation of Byron Houghtelin <br />and recommended that the City Council advertise this vacancy. <br />Byron's term expires on 12/31/93. This all male Commission <br />expressed a strong desire for some diversity in its membership <br />and Commission members were encouraged to recruit qualified <br />individuals to apply for the Commission. <br /> <br />Relating to this vacancy, the Commission concurred with <br />Councilmember Scheel that something needs to be done with the <br />terms of the Commissioners. Recruiting new Commissioners in <br />the Christmas season has not been very successful. <br />Additionally, the planning work year for the Commission tends <br />to begin in the fall and end in the spring, with the <br />Commissioners taking a break from meetings during the summer. <br />How and when this term expiration issue should be adjusted is <br />open to discussion. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The Commission accepted a request from the American Legion to <br />place flags at the entrance into Lion's Park off of Jackson <br /> <br />720 Dodge Avenue N.W., Elk River, Minnesota 55330 (612) 441-7420 <br />
