January 25, 1983 <br />To: James W. Fornell, City/Manager <br />From: Maurice H. Anders,~~ector of Parks and Recreation <br />Re: 1983 Summer Programming <br />The Park Board had recommended and the Council concurred <br />in approving the development. of a cooperative summer school <br />program for New Brighton residents. This-concept was pro- <br />posed by the Mounds View Community Education Department <br />and details were to be worked out by the staff of the <br />affected agencies. <br />The program as envisioned included the following elements: <br />1) Provision of facilities and basic educational <br />classes by school district-(paid by summer <br />school tax levy) <br />2) Recreation/Enrichment. classes offered by the <br />Park and Recreation Departments (fee supported).. ' <br />3) Provision of transportation by School Distri.~t <br />4) Joint publicity by cities and School District <br />5) Joint registration by cities and School District <br />Benefits of the program: <br />,l) Reduced fees (50% on average) to participants <br />in recreation .classes because of lower instructor <br />rates -` <br />2) Slightly reduced promotional and administration <br />COStS <br />3) More appropriate distinction of municipal and <br />district. program responsibilities <br />This program was presented to a group of Mounds View <br />teachers last week. The teachers were strongly opposed <br />to the program stating that fees charged by the district <br />are legitimate and that teachers are best qualified to <br />instruct these classes. .The group advised the Community <br />Education Director tha-~ their .union would oppose formation <br />•~ of this program. As a result, the Community. Education <br />Department has abandoned the effort, at least for 1983. <br />Our department is offering an alternative to the district's <br />summer program. We will only offer recreational-classes <br />• staffed with qualified instructors and coordinated in sucYt <br />a way that residents could send their children to the edu- <br />cational classes offered by the district and to our recrea- <br />tional classes. <br />e.~re Rte:^.v- , ' .^.wnm.L~~nn^:e^.?l~. aA?`!~Ery;'+C":, n^ri..yAS=PSGF 1 ',S4?'1F';W f r.;.. ~ ...e e__. -. vo f x 'r 2:~;~:~. ~ue~.v.. ... ~ ~ .. .~4r.7 .. .. <br />
