III. NEW BUSINESS
Skate Park grant application
Discussed how we are working with the Skate Park by contributing a grant application
for the Land and Water Grant. We have a deadline of Jan. 31 for the proposal and hope
we make the deadline.
After School Program
Our second class started on January 6th is moving along. Our numbers are done a little
due the cross country ski program. We hope that more will attend this March after the
snow begins to disappear.
Winter Carnival
Discussed that I will be working with the Dog pull for winter carnival. We hope to make
the tracks for the dog pull and the dog sled demonstration Feb. 1st and 2nd. This
shouldn't take up much time. I also hope to spend some time at the carnival this year to
see how the recreation department can help out in the future.
Recreation Planning and Consulting
I have contacted JEL/KMP Recreation planning group. This organization works closes
with parks and recreation with comprehensive planning, recreation centers and recreation
districts. I believe they will be valuable in our future if we want to expand the area of
McCall's recreation.
Spring Mountain Ranch — Cross Country Skiing
The Parks department and the recreation department should begin work on the cross
country trails this January 16th. We have not had the snow fall to be able to do the trails
yet this season.

Interviews for Intern - February
We are looking at moving forward with the process of hiring an intern for the summer.
We would like to conduct the hiring process sometime in early February.
Basketball in March?
We are hoping to work with the middle school for 3A and 5/6 grade basketball being in the
middle of March. I have tried to program for basketball in January but due to overuse of
the school district's facilities it is impossible.
Cross Country Equipment
Many of the schools have contacted me to use the equipment for instructional use. I
wanted to make sure that the schools outside of the McCall area did not have to pay to
use this equipment. The committee agreed that there did not need to be a usage fee for
the equipment. They wanted me to contact Riggins to see if they might be interested in
using the equipment to help establish a bond with this area.
OLD BUSINESS
No one had any new questions about old business. We talked quickly about the
upcoming summer and the improvement in programs.
