Recreation Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />November 22, 2021 <br />Page 4 of 4 <br />Board Updates <br />2021 Recap and Goal Setting <br />• Board members would like to be proactive in the bi-annual budgeting process, rather <br />than simply reviewing items late in the process, and reacting when the decisions are <br />already set. Board members would like to provide input for the 2023-24 plan early in <br />the year. <br />• We will bring goals to the meeting in December. In addition, we can write items that <br />we would like included in the 2023-24 budget, and email them to Kathy and Nathan, <br />with a cc to Lisa. Then the RAB would like to be involved in reviewing and prioritizing <br />budget choices in February and March. <br />• Kathy reported that some major maintenance issues will need to be part of the budget. <br />For example, original HVAC units need to be replaced in the Senior Center. There is <br />also concrete settling near the pool and playground, which will require repair. <br />• Kathy informed us that hourly wages for some employees may need to be increased <br />substantially, in order to be competitive with other facilities. <br />• If we need an extra meeting during the budget process, that is possible, as long as the <br />meeting is posted as required by the City. <br />• The Parks budget is in charge of the maintenance of outdoor recreational amenities, <br />so we need to get our related recommendations to that board early in the process. <br />Discussion and Action Items for Next Meeting, Monday December 27 <br />• Goal setting and budget ideas <br />• Department updates <br />• Recreation and Senior Services updates <br />• Golf Course update, RFP information <br />• Board updates <br />Adjourn — The meeting was adjourned at 7:36. <br />Motion: Lisa Norgard <br />Second: Gene Kutscher <br />
