7.a)2) 2011 Summer Recreation Programs Meeting Date: 3/15/2011 Agenda item: � '� � a.,) �. City Council Agenda Report City of Scandia 14727 209th St. North Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274 Action Requested: Review the proposed Summer 2011 Park and Recreation Program Schedule. Deadline/Timeline: Brochure is scheduled to be mailed with City Newsletter on approximately April 1. Background: • Recreation Program Coordinator Laurie Monson has drafted the 2011 summer program schedule. It was reviewed by the Park and Recreation Committee at their March 7 meeting. . We propose to continue the successful partnership with Camp Lakamaga begun in 2007. The Council will need to approve the annually-updated agreement at a future meeting. The terms will be similar to last year. Lakamaga receives 80% of registration fees for programs for which they will provide full staffing. • Several other programs will be held at the Community Center (tennis, skateboarding camp, comic book camp and the popular Cleat Kits program.) The City will need to hire instructors for the tennis and skateboarding classes. Separate actions approving the hiring of the instructors will be brought to the Council for approval at a later date. • New programs/events this year include the comic book camp, "Little Tyke Archers", and the Park Geocaching Tour Recommendation: The Council should review and discuss the recreation program brochure, and give any direction to staff you may deem appropriate.
