To: Parks and Recreation Commission
From: Kevin Batchelder, Administrative Assisi'
Subject: Continued Discussion of Recreation Programming
At the December meeting, Shelli Morgan, Recreation Programmer, reviewed the
City's recreation programs and the evaluations of these programs to describe their current
state of activity for the Commission. The Commission discussed joint planning with
neighboring communities, passive recreational activities and additional programs that could
be added. The Commission directed staff to research staffing levels of similar sized
communities, to generate ideas on the most feasible or practical programs that could be
added and to explore joint program ideas with neighboring cities.
Attached you will find an informal survey of some similar sized Minnesota cities
listing their populations and their full-time staffing components. Also attached is a brief list
of Recreation Programming ideas. This list includes programs that staff has either been
contacted about or is aware that there might be a demand for.
Sheffi will be present Tuesday evening to continue this discussion with the
Commission.
Discuss recreation programming and provide staff with any appropriate direction.
