February 5, 1992 Pazk Boazd Minutes <br />Benke said that even though the referendum for a community center <br />failed, the needs did not go away; they are still there. <br />V. New Business <br />A. Election of Officers <br />See first paragraph. <br />B. Discussion/Overview of Recreation Programs -Pat Tuma <br />Pat Tuma handed out a list of program offerings listed by age. The <br />Department offers a wide range of programs. <br />4 <br />Tuma discussed how instructors were hired, that she works closely with <br />the schools, how programs are started, how fees are structured, how and <br />where advertising is done.. There are two kinds of programs, non-taxable <br />and tax supported. Scholarships have been made available to New <br />Brighton residents by the New Brighton Kitchen Kut-Up Kitchen Band. <br />The newest programs are after school at Highview. The programs just <br />started this week. The offerings are: aerobics, basketball, swimming. <br />The programs run from 4:00-5:OOpm. This time is difficult for some <br />children because they have to depend on a ride. The activity bus leaves <br />at 4:OOpm. That maybe why the attendance has not been very good but <br />we are hoping as the weeks go on that it will pick up. <br />Kalina asked if there was an Advisory group at Highview. They could <br />help guide the children to these programs. <br />Tuma said she has worked with them, the student council, intramural <br />groups and coaches that she knows there. <br />Trevorrow asked if the parents have been informed of these programs. <br />Tuma responded that Dr. Young has been cautious about how he <br />advertised these programs. Mostly it has been done only within the <br />school through posters and announcements. <br />Tuma said that after our instructors are hired they have an in-service <br />meeting. In the summer this is very extensive. We cover CPR and first <br />aid, a member of the Police Dept talks to them, and customer service is <br />stressed. <br />Anderson said we generally get good performance from our staff. <br />Carlson said the Park and Rec. Dept. does an outstanding job. <br />Eichers stated he really appreciates the school day off trips. <br />Anderson said he will invite Kelly Schultz to the next meeting to discuss <br />the Senior Citizen programs. <br />
