PARK AND RECRI~TION COMMISSION <br />CITY OF PAMSEY <br /> ANOKA COUNTY <br /> S~%TE OF MINNESOTA <br /> <br />A regular meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission was held on Thursday, <br />February 2], 1985 at the Ramsey Municipal Center, 15153 Nowthen Blvd. NW, <br />Ramsey, Minnesota. <br /> <br />M~rs Present: <br /> <br />Denni s Donovan <br />Don Lokker <br />Janice Johnson <br />Ron Betland <br />Bill Rustad <br />Marleen Looyen <br /> <br />Members Absent: John Lichter <br /> <br />First the Board reviewed Oanuary's meeting so some minutes could be <br />reconstructed. <br /> <br />Clarification of the New Role of the Ramsev £ommun]ty__Schoo] <br />~Dordinator as Proposed bv the Ta~k Force: <br /> <br />It has been pointed out that the new role of the Ramsey Community School <br />Ooordinator as defined by the Task Force needs to be re-examined. City Staff <br />expressed reservations at the beginning that there would be difficulty in <br />coordinating minutes and agendas from bgo separate bodies. Deputy Clerk Sheila <br />Beyer was particularly concerned about continuing to keep accurate Park Board <br />minutes. City Staff had also talked to C~airman Donovan about the clumsiness <br />of the arrangement in that one would produce agendas and the other produce <br />minutes. Would it actually improve communication between the school and the <br />£i ty? <br /> <br />As it turns out, after the first Park Board meeting, these fears are justified. <br />Oommunication does not seem to have improved. City Staff has not yet received <br />the minutes from the January Park Board meeting. Steve Ohnstad was the Acting <br />Coordinator. Be has now been replaced by Claudia Dodge. No record of the <br />minutes can be located. <br /> <br />~his, however, is not the only concern, nor probably even the most serious <br />reason to re-examine this recently created role. Chairman Donovan talked to <br />the Community School Director, Jim Stewart, and the new Community School <br />Goordinator, Claudia Dodge. As the role was discussed, it was felt that it <br />would be very difficult to be an active participant of the Park Board and still <br />take notes of the meeting. One can do one or the other but not both. <br /> <br />As these concerns were discussed at the Park Board meeting, the Community <br />School Coordinator's role was redefined. ~he Park Board felt that they wanted <br />the Community School Coordinator to be an active participent rather than just a <br />secretary. It was hoped that by clarifying and correcting this role <br />immediately, our new ooordinator, Claudia Dodge, could get off to an active <br />positive role with the Park Board. <br /> <br />Feb~-y Z1, 1985 <br /> <br /> Page 1 of Z <br /> <br /> <br />
