Role of the Community School Coordinator with Regard to the Park Board There was strong feeling that the community school coordinator would be able to provide support, assistance, and coordination that is difficult for the city staff to provide without additional cost. Based on the above premise, the role of the eom munity school coordinator should be to: I. Serve as a resource and information provider for planning, funding, grants, etc. 2. Provide clerical support for typing up minutes, mailings, and agendas. (This would eliminate the need for the city secretary to attend (savings of approximately $500). 3. Provide coordination and liaison to the city manager and City Council. This would be accomplished by attending all park board meetings; periodic meetings with the city manager; and additional clerical support. F. Teen Programs The topic of teen programs and services generated a great deal of interest and discussion among task force members. Statistics indicate that there are over 1,000 seventh, eighth, and ninth graders in the city of Ramsey. Further review indicates that there are minimal programs for teens in the city of Ramsey. The task force reviewed a wealth of material from the Elk River program and the Coon Rapids program. There was strong interest that more needs to be done for teens. The task force is recommending that a separate teen task force be formed to look at developing a concept to better serve teens and to submit recommendation to the City Council and to the Advisory Council in June. G. .l<e_y Communicator/Crime Prevention The task force reviewed material regarding the Key Communicator/Crime Prevention program in Coon Rapids and Anoka. Although there was general interest in the concept, the committee is recommending that the community school coordinator meet with Mike Auspos, Police Chief for the city of Ramsey, to discuss the concept and present a recommendation to the City Council regarding the praetieality of the Key Communicator/Crime Prevention program for the city of Ramsey.
