Ms. McKee, complaints regarding Blaine Midway <br /> <br />Mr. Nereson said that Ms. McKee called him on October 13 with <br />complaints regarding Blaine Midway. He said that he and someone <br />from the Humane Society made a surprise visit to the facility today, <br />and said that it was an excellent facility. Ms. McKee was not <br />oresent at the meeting. <br /> <br />2. Cormnunitv School Program <br /> <br />Mr. Nereson reviewed the two questionable issues in regard to the <br />Community School program which are 1o the direction of the program <br />as it concerns adult activities, and 2. the status of the community <br />school advisory council. <br /> <br />Marc Hadley, Director of the Program, explained his proposed program <br />to the Council. <br /> <br />Mayor Cox expressed his concern that there was a duplication of some <br />thin~s offered at different schools and felt this should be avoided. <br />Mr. Hadley said that some classes, such as first aid, get filled up <br />so fast that there seems to be a need for more than one school to <br />provide the service. <br /> <br />Councilman Gamec suggested the possibility of running more sections <br />of things such as first aid and eliminating some of the others. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council was to endorse the adult community school <br />program for the winter, excluding program alternates, as submitted. <br /> <br />Regarding the advisory council, Mayor Cox said that he feels the <br />advisory council has proven to not be a real helpful aid to the <br />program and would like to see Mr, Hadley work without the advisory <br />council, and if he had any questions or problems to consult Mr. Nereson. <br /> <br />Mr. Hadley said that he would appreciate having people to orovide him <br />with input as to the needs and interests of the community. He said <br />if there is going to be a grouo, he would like to see the City Council <br />select it. <br /> <br />Councilman Mickelson said he does not feel there is a need for an <br />advisory council, but feels there is a need for someone to attend <br />the school district meetings. He said this could either be someone <br />from the Council or some individual that could be appointed to act <br />as a liaison. <br /> <br />After additional discussion, the consensus of the Council was to elim- <br />inate the advisory council and to appoint a liaison person to the <br />District Community School Advisory Council. There was discussion about <br />apoointing Joan Thunnel as the liaison person. Mr. Hadley said he <br /> <br /> <br />
