Lisa compiled a "RAB Suggestions for Capital Improvements." We discussed and edited the list, deleting page 1: #5 and #6, page 2: #4 and #5, and the entire "For the Parks Budget" section. Resolved: With the above -mentioned changes to the project list, these Suggestions for Capital Improvements should be adopted into the CIP proposal. Motion: Gene Kutscher Second: Mary O'Brien The motion was passed unanimously. Lisa will edit the list of suggestions and will present it to the PPLAB on Thursday, March 3. If Lisa is not able to attend, Mary will attend. Golf and Rec Center Marketing Plan Updates Ginger Cross presented the yearly calendar of marketing for Golf, the Recreation and Senior Center, Open Space, and Parks. One current focus is a hiring campaign. The golf season starts in March, and the next Recreation & Senior Center catalog comes out in April. Ginger sends monthly e-news to showcase what is happening. There have been no rounds of golf in January and February of this year, but Ginger clarified to board members that the golf course has been close due to snow, not because of fire damage. Kathy reminded us of the December "12 Days of Fitness" with the Grinch videos, which promoted rec center activities in a fun way. Many of the RAB members had enjoyed the videos. The board commended Ginger for a great job of communicating what's happening. Golf Feasibility Plan Update David Baril reported that he has been communicating with two companies, Z Design and National Golf Foundation, providing them with background information and details. He will meet with them soon to make sure that they have all of the information that they need. David will involve more people as the process moves along. Director Hiring Update Kathy reported that the City hired a consultant to assist in hiring the next Director of Parks, Recreation and Open Space. The position is posted. The consultant is currently accepting applications and will hand over initial candidate recommendations in April. The City hopes to have a candidate onboard in June or July. Michele Van Pelt asked if the RAB will have a voice in the process. Megan Davis said that the last director search included representation from the relevant boards. Megan will talk to the consultant to ask that the relevant boards be included in this process. 5
