Report submitted. Council appointed Gerald Greiman to the U. City <br />Civil Service Board. Council approved an amount of $48,500 for golf cart paths for Ruth Park Golf Course. <br />Council presented Hero Award to Even Hunter, a U. City resident. Council discussed sponsoring a Boards and <br />Commission Appreciation Event. <br /> <br />Department Report <br />Ms. Euell-Taylor reported on: <br /> <br /> Fall 2009 Recreation Guide is in print as of this date <br /> <br /> Program Fees- Summer Camp-late Fees may be assessed for parents enrolling after a certain <br />date. This is to encourage parents to enroll early, to be able to enroll for multiple sessions <br />before camp begins and pay in installments. This helps camp solidify employment for correct <br />number of camp counselors for good counselor to camper ratio. Summer Camp late <br />th <br />registration- Suggestion that fees for first year should be after May 15 even if enrollment <br />starts earlier because many parents don’t think about camp fees until end of school year. <br />Comment that fee amount is a bit high. Suggestion that advertising should be heavy so that <br />parents are aware they have longer time to register children. Suggestion to just have cut off <br />date as opposed to late fee (with no exceptions) so as not to lose as many enrollees. Ms. <br />stth <br />Euell-Taylor would like to publicize May 1 thru the 15 as late registration with emphasis <br />on no exceptions. Flyers and memos to go out at least twice to all University City schools <br />(public and private). Final amended motion made to drop late fee and extend cut off date to <br />5/15/09 with no exceptions and to accept all other fees as written. Motion seconded. 6 <br />members vote in favor. <br /> <br /> No Flynn Park for summer camp next year due to construction. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Individual Park Reports <br /> <br /> <br />
