Cage 3 <br /> <br />Claudia Dodge asked who is RYAA contact person, discussion indicated it is <br />different for each sport. RYAA meets the third Sunday of each month at 7:00 p.m. <br /> <br />Dodge said the Ramsey Community Education advisory council disbanded last spring, <br />and will begin again with different representation. She asked for a representative <br />of the Park Board, meeting one Tuesday evening per month. Commissioner Looyen <br />volunteered, Chairman Lichter volunteered to be the second contact person. <br /> <br />Claudia Dodge asked the Commission members if they knew why she attended the <br />meetings, and then explained the background. A Community Ed Task Force was <br />formed to study Community Education in Ramsey and one of the recommendations <br />was that gommunity Education would provide clerical services to the Park <br />Commission to save the City money. So the Community Education secretary takes <br />the minutes at the meetings. Ms. Dodge is a resource person, for grants <br />and planning, but she can't be a voting member. She then explained the <br />Summer Park program and asked for input on how to improve it. She said some <br />parks have no kids left in the area, and some, Titterud, Central, Brookview <br />and the school have a lot of use. She said that in the future other parks <br />will be used as Deeded. <br /> <br />Commissioner Looyen asked about the Teen Center. The plan for the Teen Center <br />is to have it open every Thursday night, alternating between grades 5 and 6, and <br />grades 7- 8, and 9. The first meeting is scheduled for October 9, it will be <br />a joint meeting to plan events. An invitation was extended to the Commission <br />members to visit the teen center, which is newly painted. Halloween parties <br />are also planned on October 23 and October 30. Teens will be contacted by <br />mailings. A supervisor is needed for the Center. Attendance varies, last <br />year one dance had over 200 attend, 80 at one dance, and 120 at another dance. <br />Attendance at the Center ranged from 1 to 35, and the reason that the activities <br />have been changed to Thursday is because Fridays conflict with school events. <br />Hours have not been decided, maybe 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. The supervisor will ideally <br />be someone 20-21 years of age, someone that the teens can relate to. <br /> <br />Chairman Lichter encouraged Claudia Dodge's input at the meetings. <br /> <br />Chairman Lichter encouraged Claudia Dodge's input at the meetings. <br /> <br />Meetinz adjourned at 8:24 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Debbie Fiebet~orn <br />Secretary <br />Ramsey Community School <br /> <br /> <br />
