CASE #2 <br /> <br />DISCUSS PROGRAMS FOR ENCOURAGING <br />VOLUNTEER PARTICIPATION IN PARKS <br />By: Mark Boos, Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />At February's meeting, there was a fair amount of discussion on different ways to engage <br />residents to be involved in park maintenance and vandalism reduction. The Commission <br />explored two different concepts. One was that the City would have minor gift certificates <br />available for residents caught in the act of doing something good (picking up trash, etc.) Gift <br />certificates would also be available to groups like Scouts who take on a project. The other idea <br />was to create an annual contest or have dated medallions to encourage people to not only take <br />advantage of parks, but to visit different parks throughout the year. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook is expected to provide additional information on Hennepin Parks' program at <br />the meeting. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Based upon discussion. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br /> <br />Copies also distributed to: <br /> <br />Administrative Services Manager <br /> <br />PR:03/12/98 <br /> <br /> <br />
