Director Zeiss updated the Commission on activities.  Kick-boxing enrollment continues to grow – approximately 40 boys and girls are participating.  Also, kick-boxing classes will not be held during the summer months.  Baseball and softball teams ages 11 to 18 have been practicing with games to begin next week.

 

Recap of the summer registrations was also discussed.  Recreation Department has 49 for tennis, 72 park recreation, 50 golf, and 182 registered in baseball and softball.  Volunteers are needed to help run the 5 to 10 programs in softball and baseball as well as park recreation and tennis program.

 

Rental fees for the Community Room were discussed specifically for the Jazzercise program.  Presently they pay $50 a month to the Community Activity Center.  To stay consistent with the other organizations utilizing this area, a motion was made by Commissioner Garvin and seconded by Commissioner Kwapnioski to recommend a fee of $100 per month for the Jazzercise program.  Motion carried; recommendation was approved.  For the future, fees need to be based on program income and enrollment or time usage fees of the room itself.
