8.f)3) Park and Recreational Programs for Summer 2009 i � Meeting Date: 3/17/2009 Agenda Item: . -�% . �� �-�� Ctty Council Agenda Report City of Scandia 14727 209`h St. North Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274 Action Requested: Review the proposed Summer 2009 Park and Recreation Program Schedule. Deadline/ Timeline: Brochure is scheduled to be mailed with City Newsletter on approximately April 1. Background: • Recreation Program Coordinator Marty McKelvey has prepared her proposed 2009 summer program schedule. It was reviewed by the Park and Recreation Committee at their February 2 and March 2 meetings. • We propose to continue the successful partnership with Camp Lakamaga begun in 2007. The Council will need to approve the agreement at a future meeting. The terms will be similar to last year, except that Lakamaga will receive a higher percentage of registration,fees (generally 80%) for programs for which they will provide full staffing. • Several other programs will be held at the Community Center (tennis, lacrosse and the popular Cleat Kits program.) Ms. Mckelvey will teach the Cleat Kids programs. The City will need to hire a part-time tennis instructor. The Lacrosse camp would be taught by a vendor(Sports Unlimited.) 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 a bird-watching hike at Wind in the Pines Park, a sports equipment swap at the community center(May 9) and an adult co-ed softball league. (August through October.) Recommendation: The Council should review and discuss the preliminary recreation program brochure, and give any direction to staff you may deem appropriate.
