a. Men's Basketball
,,
There are 13 teams which started last week. Commissioner Siebert
asked about an invitational this year, Director McGillivray
answered that it probably would no happen this year, one reason
being the availability of gyms. We would have to rent a school
gym and pay for the custodian.

done. The first draft needs to be to the Finance Director by
February 17th. The Commission agreed to hold a special meeting on
February 13, 1989 at 5-00 P.M. Director McGillivra¥ will have the
budget prepared at that time.
At the last Council meeting Senior Director Pat Porter reported on
ballroom dancing classes that were held at the Senior Center for
both seniors and youth. The classes were so successful, Council
suggested the Parks & Rec department take it over as one of their
programs and asked the Commission to discuss it.
The Commission discussed the schedule for gym use and felt that
the schedule was tight enough, even on Sundays that it couldn't be
held there. The Teen Center is in use constantly during the
winter and the space is limited. If teens were included and it
was held at the Teen Center or in the gym, chaperones would be
needed. If held in the gym, the floor stands a good chance of
being damaged. Commissioner Hanson suggested using the commons at
the high school since teens are interested. Perhaps something
could be worked out with the school.
The Commission agreed to invite Senior Director Pat Porter to the
special meeting on Februar~ 13th for further discussion.
Ski Trip Sunda~
There is another trip to Aleyeska planned for this coming Sunday.
These trips have been very successful and are fUlly booked in
advance. Chaperones have been on a volunteer basis, some people
from the Rec Center and some parents.
d. Fire Marshall Inspection Re~ort
There were a number of small violations including the leaking
problem, however, the maintenance man has taken care of all of
them.
e ... ....... Stairmaster Equi~.ment
The equipment has arrived, has been set up and the staff are
still training on it to instruct the public. There has been a
wide response to it already. It has been placed in the equipment
closet for the time being rather than the main weight room because
it is sensitive equipment.
f. ARPA Conference
The Conference will be held Friday in Anchorage. The topics will
include insurance coverage for recreational activities. The
regional conference will be in Anchorage in May. Those attending
last year felt they gained a great deal from it.
