DIRECTOR' S REPORT
Director McGillivray gave a brief report for those present.
a. Summer Program. The high school facilities will not be
used for the summer programs this year, as there is a fee
involved. The Director felt they would be able to conduct a
program using the Kenai Rec Center facilities. It might
create a problem on occasion because of activities in the
gym; however, arrangements can be made to conduct some
activities in the area by the softball fields, with play
ground equipment and the green strip available.

seen the increase in business, and it was exceptional.

COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS
Commissioner Salazar asked if there was some type of policy

for hiring instructors. Director McGillivray explained
there are no instructors hired. Instructors rent the space
and they are charged $10.00 an hour for a group of up to 20,
if it's over 20, the charge is fifty cents per head. This
has worked very well in the past.
Councilman McComsey asked Chairman Hultberg if the committee
to meet with the Little League to do work on the field has
met. Chairman Hultberg reported they have not met as yet,
and he has been waiting to be contacted.
