Taco Daze Summarv- Deb reported that the batting cage activity was popular, but not
worth the time investment. The dodge-ball tournament was a success again this year,
with 20 participating teams in total. Even though the Clover Leaf Bike Ride was
cancelled, some riders did show up and ride the usual routes.
A discussion regarding the future of this activity resulted in a unanimous decision to hold
it again next autumn, but not in the spring. A subgroup will form early next year to come
up with ideas for improving the event.
Committee Member Recommendations-A unanimous decision was reached to
recommend Rod and Alex as new committee members.
• Lions Park Update- Dave and Mike gave an update on the park situation:
• Public response to the development options was positive,with#2
(environmental education) being the most popular.
• Land surveys will be forthcoming within a week or so.
• Some negative feedback was received from the public regarding the tree
decimation.
• Many names for the park were suggested. It was decided that a web-based
poll would be used to determine the name.
' —Sarah volunteered to research grant funding possibilities.
White Rock Development Update- Dave Smith presented his assessment of this land
development, with the recommendation that a monetary fee be accepted in lieu of land.
A motion was made to that affect and was unanimously accepted.
Facilities- Ron and Deb met with two hockey coaches to discuss upgrades to the Scandia
rink. Some suggestions were made regarding panel upgrades and modification of the
zamboni doors. The possibility of hiring a consulting company to evaluate the rink was
discussed. Ron indicated that he had already discussed the possibility with two such
organizations. More information will be presented later.

programs until a plan is obtained from Marty McKelvey. Marty arrived mid-meeting and
