C. RECAP OF SPRING FLING
Chair Rainer reported there was a smaller attendance compared to previous
years, maybe due to construction. For future reference, there needs to be
clarification of distributing wrist bands to ensure a more effective procedure for
giving out food and prizes. She also suggested, giving recognition by
announcing appreciation for the companies and organizations who made
donations. Director Johnson mentioned that next year Parks and Recreations
will create a new activity in place of the bike rodeo due to the lack of
participation and knowledge of children riding a bicycle.
