• The Parks and Rec. Dept. is using one of the courts up at <br /> Highview as a pickleball court in the evening. At the <br /> Community Center we have daytime pickleball. <br /> • October was a very busy month for us with volunteers. We <br /> had 246 volunteers. They volunteered 791 hours. Total hours <br /> for Oct. were 1,115 hours. <br /> • The Community Center is getting some improvements to the <br /> west end. We have put in an ADA ramp. Actuated doors will <br /> be put in. The trees, shrubs and the whole area will be <br /> cleaned up. <br /> • October 29, 2011 was the start of the Ramsey County Library <br /> in the New Brighton Community Center. Through October <br /> 2012, we had 398,800. In 2011 that number was 385,000.In <br /> comparing 2012 attendance to 2011 attendance (Jan 1-Oct. <br /> 29), the New Brighton Community Center has seen 85,876 <br /> more visitors to the facility. <br /> • Parks and Recreation will be going to the Planning <br /> Commission on November 20th for the land use application <br /> for Subway coming to the New Brighton Community Center. <br /> If it is approved, it will go to the City Council for approval in <br /> December. If everything goes well, it would take about 60-90 <br /> days. Hopefully by April 1st. Subway would go in on the east <br /> side of Guest Services. They would utilize parts of the <br /> kitchen. Their hours would be similar to ours. Their busy <br /> times would be breakfast, lunch and dinner. They are <br /> estimating that 70-80 percent of their clientele would already <br /> be here in this building. <br /> • Read to Play. In September about 100 kids redeemed their <br /> coupons. Last year in October the coupons generated $80. <br /> This October it was $467 with people paying and coming <br /> with the free child. <br /> Council Member Jacobsen asked if we are still at the maximum <br /> with birthday parties.
