We will be bringing forward <br />our proposal that PREC put together earlier. <br />Council Liaison Strub commented that a very important piece of <br />information that Director Breuer shared was that Facility Rentals were up <br />and at an all -time high. He stated that deserves a super amount of kudos <br />not just from this Commission from the entire community. He did bring this <br />up at last night's Council Work Session to let folks know that not only are <br />there great products and Parks and Recreation opportunities, but this is a <br />City that is working hard and producing revenue and breaking a record <br />and doing a fantastic job. This provides a return on our investment for tax <br />payers of this City. He thanked Director Breuer and her staff. Director <br />Breuer commented that she will certainly let her staff know; especially <br />those who work with rentals. We have had a bang -up year. <br />IX.
