COMMISSION BUSINESS <br />5.01: Presentation: Second Annual 'Bark for Life' Event at The Draw — April 27, 2013 <br />Kimberly Gust reported that the 2nd Annual Bark for Life event will take place on April27th. She <br />advised that approximately $9,000 was brought in through the event the previous year, which <br />was the largest Bark for Life in ever within Minnesota. She explained that the event raises funds <br />for the American Cancer Society and also brings awareness against the fight for cancer. She <br />noted that the money raised for research also benefits canines as dogs suffer from the same types <br />of cancer as people. She reported that the previous year there had been no issues with unruly <br />dogs or trash, although the event had been cut short due to rain. She advised that the same types <br />of signage and trash receptacles would be used again this year and noted that a veterinarian <br />would also be onsite this year. She reported that there are new sponsors for the event this year, <br />along with some continued sponsors from the previous year, and there is still room for additional <br />sponsorship. She advised that an animal rescue organization will also be attending with animals <br />available for adoption at the event. She welcomed any interested residents to attend the event <br />and advised that additional information can be found on the Bark for Life website. <br />5.02: 2013 Election of Officers <br />Vice Chairperson Olsen opened the floor for nominations for the Chair and Vice Chair positions <br />for 2013. <br />Commissioner Fyten nominated Angela Olsen as 2013 Chair. <br />Commissioner Barr seconded the nomination. <br />Motion by Commissioner Fyten, seconded by Commissioner Barr, to appoint Angela Olsen as <br />Chair of the Park and Recreation Commission. <br />Motion carried.
