Recreation Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />January 22, 2024 <br />Page 4of5 <br />• Full-time positions have been filled. <br />• An attempt to purchase water rights was unsuccessful. The City will try to <br />purchase water again in 2027 or 2028. The City has dedicated some <br />water to the golf course. <br />• Re -use water can be used in the summer months, but there is a cap. <br />• The golf course has minimal ditch rights. <br />• Bunker improvements will be another CIP. <br />Recreation Updates — Kathy Martin <br />CIP Planning <br />• At a work plan meeting, City Council members decided that an outdoor <br />rec plan is a medium level priority. A six -year plan needs to be done in <br />March. <br />• RAB members want to make sure that resurfacing the east tennis courts <br />at Centennial Park is on the list of projects for 2024. <br />January 1st Numbers <br />• Kathy reported that the end of year numbers will be strong. <br />• The January 1 st turnout was huge, with the purchase of 396 punch cards, <br />61 new auto -debit commitments, and 937 memberships. <br />• First week visits numbered 9,999. Visits continued to be strong in the <br />following weeks. <br />The proposed seasonal job fair in February has been canceled.

Board members agreed with this proposal. <br />Board Updates <br />The RAB 2024 Work Plan will be presented to City Council on March 12 at <br />6.00 PM in the Louisville Library.
