He stated he and his wife have to travel outside Ramsey to get on a winter <br /> league. He felt it would behoove the City to start the formation of a league and to look at venues <br /> where they can play volleyball during the winter months. He also would like to inquire about <br /> possibly building summer volleyball sites. Mr. Perez is present to get the Commissions input <br /> and he is willing to volunteer to organize this to get it off the ground for the first couple years. <br /> Chairperson Shryock asked is he speaking primarily of outdoor courts or indoor courts. Mr. <br /> Perez stated for outdoor courts it wouldn't have to be a sand court it could be a grass court but is <br /> also inquiring about venues for indoor courts. <br /> Chairperson Shryock turned the conversation over to the Parks Supervisor, Mark Riverblood. <br /> Mr. Riverblood affirmed it doesn't take up much space for an outdoor court or courts. He felt <br /> the first step would be to issue a query in interest and if Mr. Perez would like to take on <br /> organizing it. Mr. Riverblood felt this could be something the parks department could <br /> accommodate if the residents are interested. <br /> Commissioner Bennett asked about the availability of indoor facilities. <br /> Park and Recreation Commission /October 13, 2011 <br /> Page 1 of 5 <br />
