Park and Recreation Commission Meeting Date: 04/09/2015 By: Mark Riverblood, Engineering/Public Works 5. 2. Information Title: Consider Park and Recreation Commission Outdoor Meeting Schedule Purpose/Background: For many years, the Park and Recreation Commission have held regular meetings outdoors in the months of May through September (weather permitting). This provided the Commission an opportunity to inspect and comment on parks and projects as a group, and it afforded residents' access to the Commission on a neighborhood level. On the occasions of inclement weather, the Commission would hold the regular meetings at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall. The purpose of this case is to confirm the Commission's desire for outdoor meetings in 2015 and, if so, what the locations will be. The following is a partial proposed schedule with an opportunity noted in brackets as a rationale—if the Commission agrees to continue meeting in parks for the summer. May: Woodland Green Park (Inspect drinking fountain installation) June: Elmcrest Park (Potential playground dedication) July: Mississippi River Trail (Location to be determined) August: September: The Draw (proposed Park Patron Picnic) After the Commission decides where the meetings will be held, their locations will be published in the Ramsey Resident newsletter and on the web. Notification: Observations/Alternatives: Funding Source: None required Recommendation: Action: Determine whether outdoor meetings are desired for 2015—and if so the locations. Attachments
