OLD BUSINESS Budget Report - Kayo reported that the Recreation budget was unchanged. An additional $1000 was put into the Parks budget to cover additional dumpsters at the beach. The Beautification budget was unchanged, but we need to consider greenhouse options for the city, since we are no longer using the local greenhouses as suppliers. Nothing has been put in the budget at this point, and it will need to go to Council if the Commission decides to support it. Dale Sandahl MOVED that the Commission recommend a permanent structure in as opposed to a less expensive option that would have to be replaced yearly. Gifford SECONDED the motion. It passed with a unanimous vote. be put Kelly Playground Equipment - Kayo stated that the playground equipment has been ordered. Council accepted the Commission's recommendation to go with the Burke equipment. The equipment should be here within six weeks. Porta Path materials have been ordered and should be delivered about the middle of June. Summer Hires - Kayo reported that there are seven or eight returning kids from last year and several new hires. NEW BUSINESS Kayo stated that he would like to reorganize some of the programs at the Rec Cemer, specifically he would like to consider adding an aerobics instructor. Council will have to decide whether to add an additional position, but there is a possibility that by adding this position the Rec Center will be able to generate additional funds. The Wellness Program is still in the budget and hopefully they can add aerobics a couple nights a week. Hal Smalley stated that there would be a report to Council on the re-classification of positions around the first of June. It will be handled as an addendum to the budget. Kayo stated that the Universal machine is just about worn out. Universal has a program where you can trade in on new equipmem, but he is hesitam to jump imo new equipmem at this poim in time. Co Kayo stated that there will be a lot on Kulila Poim that will probably be coming to the City in a couple of weeks as a tax foreclosure. It has been suggeSted that one of the options was for the lot be made into a city park. He passed around pictures, and there will be much cleanup needed before anything can be considered. 8.
