II. DIRECTOR'S REPORT:
• The main objective of this meeting was to put into plan getting this committee
back together within the next two weeks with people who are skilled in the area of
planning and building and who are ready to put in the time and effort to get the
committee back to where it needs to be to enable it to meet the needs of the
growing area. During the next two weeks, new applications for the P &R
Advisory Board will be reviewed, the applicants called, and the positions that are
vacant will be filled. Once the positions have been filled, another Advisory Board
meeting will be held at which time Mayor Russo will meet with the Board to
discuss the exciting time ahead.
III. TOPICS DISCUSSED:
Parks and Recreation Programs
• Wonderful programs in all areas. "Inside, acquatic, sports"
• The problem noted on the sports side - the number of people has outgrown the
facilities.
• Need to look into how to address the "wants, needs, and desires" of the
facilities, not just for today, but for the future.
• In order to get the immediate needs and plan for the future we need to look at
all the facilities that we need and how we as staff will operate & maintain
•
them. We need to take a look at the entire picture of the city, not just today,
but through build -out, and put together a real master plan which would show
us what we need today, what we need for the future, and how we will be able
to afford to build, maintain, repair and replace.
IV. ADJOURNMENT:
The meeting was adjourned at 8:05P.M.
Respectfully Submitted,
Cheryl . McQuiston
Administrative Secretary
NOTE: The next meeting of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board to be announced
at later date.
