December 1, 1982 Park Board Minutes <br />Page.3 <br />A wish list would help stimulate ideas and desire for individuals <br />or groups to donate. <br />The gift program would. be for New Brighton only. <br />Laura Solberg commented that a friend lives in a city where <br />this is done and it has been fairly successful. <br />Staff felt it was important to get community involvement. It <br />needs to be well publicized. <br />Park Board commented that it should be an ongoing process and <br />flexible enough to be able to update yearly. Possibly a brochure <br />to hand out and updated yearly.- February. Community Leaders <br />Workshop would be a good place to publicize it. The meeting <br />is scheduled for February 26, 1983. <br />Solberg stated she would like to volunteer to help with this <br />project. <br />Staff commented that Schmidt mentioned perhaps another group <br />could be set up to administer it. Give it an air of community <br />involvement since that is what it is. Possibly the group could <br />grow beyond gifts catalog. It will be looked into. <br />Need someone other than staff to administer the donations. <br />Perhaps have someone go out and recruit donations. <br />It was asked if the Citizen Study. Committee would be interested <br />in this. <br />The Citizen Study Committee has looked into this briefly. <br />Perhaps it would be better!, o have a number of groups involved. <br />Staff would like to see someone like Solberg and someone else <br />formulate a group and get a better concept of the-steps to take. <br />It was noted this idea has been brought to the council and the. <br />council .supports-the concept but wants it to be looked into further. <br />May also want to set up a process for screening donations. <br />D.
