PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD
MINUTES: Regular Meeting - June 28, 1983
The meeting was called to order at 6:31 P.M. by Chairman, Mike ImMasche. Member,
Jan Sheppard, is absent, and Secretary, Mary Elson, had to leave early, so staff
was asked to take minutes of this meeting.
There was no change to the Agenda, and no one spoke during citizen participation.
The minutes of the Regular Meeting of April 26, 1983, were approved unanimously as
submitted, on a motion by Mary Elson, seconded by Cathy Mulcahy.
Discussion on the 1984 Proposed Budget
Staff discussed the time frame for review. There was specific explanation and
discussion about each of the following areas: 1.) unfunded Capital Projects
Requests - 1984 to 1988; 2.) General Fund 0&M Budgets (Administration, Forestry,
Parks, Planning and Open Space); 3.) Recreation Fund Budget; 4.) 1984 Supplemental
Requests and Cost Curtailments; 5.) Parkland Fund; and 6.) Conservation Trust Fund
(Lottery).
General Fund was limited to a 5% increase over revised 1983 (less encumbrances from
1982), which included the projected 1984 Pay Plan.... Mike ImMasche asked Jean
Helburg about softball. She replied that the proposed fee will be $400, or $15 more
than 1983 (there has been no increase since 1981). Mike suggested several ways to
potentially improve the softball program. Jerry P. Brown stated the actual 1984
fee schedule will be brought to the Board for approval in August or September....
Jean then explained various minor changes in Recreation programming and philosophy....
there was specific, detailed discussion about the Parkland Fund, including the "new"
requests for park site equipment and a land acquisition account.... Potential use of
Lottery money was proposed by H. R. Phillips for three areas: 1.) A large, very -
visible project, such as Pool/Ice Arena, Southside Recreation Center, etc.; 2.) Open
Space Acquisition/Trails Development; and 3.) $25,000 to $30,000 to the golf courses
for Clubhouse repairs and upgrading, etc. Board members at this point in time
generally concurred with these thoughts.
Election of Officers for 1983/1984
According to the By-laws, the regular June Board meeting is the designated meeting
for election of officers for the next year. Currently, Mike ImMasche is Chairman,
Chuck Solano is Vice -Chairman, and Mary Elson is Secretary.
Mike ImMasche stated that he has been Chairman for the past two years, and he really
has enjoyed the position. However, he feels that someone else should take over, and
other Board members should be in charge.
Fran Bujack nominated Chuck Solano for Chairman; Bob Aukerman seconded the nomination.
There were no further nominations, so Chuck Solano was unanimously elected Chairman
for 1983/1984.

elected Vice -Chair for 1983/1984.
Fran Bujack nominated Jan Sheppard for Secretary. Cathy Mulcahy seconded the
nomination. There were no further nominations, so Jan Sheppard was unanimously
elected Secretary for 1983/1984.
Other Business:
Staff updated Board members on the status of the trail and damage.
- Fran Bujack suggested that we consider adding an out -of -city fee to Recreation fees.
H. R. responded that the City has an Agreement with the Poudre-R-I School District
that we provide Recreation programs throughout their District, and we get "free"
usage of their facilities. The last estimate by the School District is that we
are getting over $100,000 of "savings" at school facilities. Also, many activities
are patronized by people who work in town, and many sports teams are sponsored by
city merchants. There are many problems with an out-of-town Recreation fee.
- Jerry P. Brown pointed out the "June is Parks and Recreation Month" Proclamation,
and the Northside Aztlan Community Center renaming Resolution.
The meeting was unanimously adjourned at 7:50 P.M.
