Agenda items were as follows: • The marketing staff for the Rec Center presented a proposal for an incentive program that has been considered for some time and was recently finalized by the recreation staff and former Recreation Commissioner Mr. Dolansky. This program would be in cooperation with area hotel and motel managers and would involve advertisements in those establishments explaining the available activities at the Rec Center and offering a resident rate to occupants of our city's hotels and motels. This plan is one which will potentially increase utilization of our facility and could also be extended to include Springvale Golf Course and Ballroom. The Rec Commission approved of this proposal. • A member of the Westshore Figure Skating Club was present to question the progress on the Rec Center roof and to express concern that her organization has canceled ice time in a different facility based on word she received that her group would be able to skate. The Safety Director directed all questions to the Service Director. • Todd Morgan commented on Mr. Dolansky's departure as Rec Commissioner. Todd will be assisting in Mike's absence. Safety Director Jenkins stated at this time that he is uncertain with regard to Mike's replacement. • Todd Morgan reported that spring registration was very successful both in terms of the volume of participants as well as the sign-up procedure which has been streamlined over the past few years to better accommodate patrons. • The commission discussed the need for a weight room affiliated with the Rec Center. Possible partnerships with city businesses were discussed. However, the lack of available space for such equipment was also discussed. • A commission member suggested that the Rec Center sponsor out of town weekend ski trips as part of its winter program, and that suggestion will be taken under consideration. }. 6 n .., ~ ~;Y. _ .~.,.....~ .
