CC Work Session 2. 3. Meeting Date: 05/09/2017 Information Title: Update on Recreation Programing for 2017 Purpose/Background: One of City Council's Strategic Imperative's; is to "Create a diverse and robust offering of recreational opportunities". To address this goal, City Council has allocated $25,000 within the 2017 General Fund budget for recreation programming. Staff has been engaged in developing programs and opportunities since January. At the Park and Recreation Commission's regular April meeting, Parks and Recreation Intern, Tillery Bailey provided a summary of the successes to date, the upcoming programs —and requested feedback from the Commission for future recreation programming. A summary of the above presentation is attached. Timeframe: 30 minutes, based upon discussion. Funding Source: Recreation programming is new for Ramsey in 2017, and accounted for within the parks operation's budget within the annual General Fund budget. For 2017, this amount is $25,000, (which does not include wages paid to the intern, which are assigned to the seasonal worker line item, of the parks operation's budget). Responsible Party(ies): Mark Riverblood will provide a status report on 2017 recreation programming, and the Park and Recreation Commission may relay feedback they have received from the community at large. Outcome: The desired outcome of this topic is for Staff to receive feedback from dialog between City Council and the Commission on recreation programming in general in Ramsey —and any specific ideas or desires, as Staff begins to draft work plans and programs for consideration as part of the 2018 General Fund budget process.
