Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
Meeting Minutes
March 23, 1976
The regular meeting of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board was called to order
on March 23, 1976 at 7:30 pm by Vice -President Clara Donohoe. Minutes of previous
meeting were approved. In response to a memorandum from Susan Jones, assistant to the
City Manager, the goals and objectives for 1976 of this Advisory Board were formulated
as follows:
Goal: The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board gives concrete recommendations to City
Council and to the Parks and Recreation Department in the development of long-
range, economical parks and recreation programs which will meet the needs of the
entire community.
Objectives: 1. Advise Council and department concerning recreation fees needed to
supplement the support of programs.
2. Make recommendation on the feasibility of sliding scale for recreation
fees.
3. Review recreation programs periodically.
4. To further the development of park sites, open space and trails,
facilities and programs consistent with the development and needs of
the community.
An evaluation of the Boards and Commissions manual was asked for. This Board felt
there was no need for names of all Board members to be included in the manual becuase the
list became outdated quickly. A savings of time and paper would be realized by eliminating
the name list; City Council members are probably the only persons needing such a list.
The biard felt the manual contained valuable information from p. 18 on.
H. R. Phillips indicated that the Parke and Recreation Advisory Board must develop
some by-laws.
The meeting was adjourned at 8.30 pm. The neat meeting of the Board will be
April 27 at the Community Center. The agenda will include:
1. Discussion of by-laws.
2. Opening of the Ft. Collins Community Center.
3. Hiring of Chico Martinez for Low Income areas.
4. Discussion of recreation program costs.
3. Progress reports.
Respectfully submitted,

appreciates your concern and interest in the football
