III. NEW BUSINESS
Skate Park grant application
Discussed how we have submitted the grant application for the Land and Water Grant.
The grant application must be reviewed prior to being accepted to present to the Land and
Water Committee. We should find out some time in March if we will be accepted to
present.
After School Program — US Bank Grant
I have informed the committee that we are perusing the US Bank Grant in May to help
provide the After School Program with funds. These funds can be used for more
equipment to help with tutoring, supply money or new employees.
Winter Special Olympics
Discussed that I have been asked to be the MC for the closing ceremonies for the Winter
Special Olympics. This is a wonderful opportunity to work with the Special Olympics in
March and help with the relationship with the City of McCall and the Community.
Ordering Equipment
Informed the Committee that I am on track with order equipment for the improvement of
Fairway Park. We have order Benches and fence safety equipment. More equipment is
still necessary for improvement but we will wait until this summer to be sure of proper
budget expenditures due to costs of equipment.
Intern — February 14th
Informed the Committee that the deadline for the hiring of a new intern is February 14tn
We have received three applications thus far and I am eager to go though the hiring
process and get an intern on board with the City.
Cross Country Ski Trips
Cross Country Ski Trips are on schedule. We have lent out our cross country ski
equipment to three schools thus far and have two more schools to go. So far we have
given 80 children the opportunity to experience cross country skiing at Ponderosa State
Park. Without the help of Ponderosa State Park, the teachers and our equipment this
would not be possible. I have attended two of the outings and have been happy with the
smiling faces and enthusiasm of the children.
Hiking Trips
We are looking at conducting hiking trips starting in late May and running until late
August. These trips will be conducted every Thursday evening leaving from the Rite Aid
parking lot. We will load onto the Recreation Van and head to the Hiking location. Each
trip should last about 2 hours and be beginner or intermediate level hikes. We are
looking to impact adults and senior citizens. The price of the hikes should be free or a
low amount for fuel and transportation.
Bike Rodeo
We are working closely with the McCall Police Department for this year's Bike Rodeo.
The Bike Rodeo is designed to info children of the safety and proper use of bicycles
within our community and surrounding area. I have been tasked with finding available
equipment to be used at the Bike Rodeo that will be held in May.
IV OLD BUSINESS
Due to our low turnout for the Recreation Committee Meeting no one had any new
questions about old business.
