Recreation |
woes grow |

Faced with a Recreation Ad-
visory Commission that’s all but
dead, the city’s recreation direc-
tor is hoping counci] can help
breathe life back into the patient.

Steve Scott said the commission
-- a voluntary body -- is supposed
to have 12 members.

It hasn’t for more than.a year
now and is now down to a rump
of just four.

-The problem, he explained, is
for more than a year now it has
proved impossible to find
volunteers to fill any vacancies.

The most recent drive to attract
new members included newspa-
per advertising and a mail-out to
104 local organizations inviting
them to submit names.

“We didn’t. get anybody,”
Scott recalled.

Thé commission is supposed to
meet once a month to discuss
both recreational matters referred

to it by city council and put for.
ward ideas of its own.

Although its role is ‘‘purely ad:
visory”’, he pointed out the com-
mission helped develop plans for .-
ciiy parks, decide. what recrea-
tional fees should be and: was, °
prior to the collapse, becoming
increasingly involved in setting
spending priorities in the city’s
annual recreation budget.

Why then was the cominission
unable to hold its membership or
attract replacements? »

“T think there’s a feeling coun-
cil doesn’t use it as effectively as
it might,” Scott suggested.

For example, some past mem-
bers had maintained referrals by
council were too few and far be-
tween,

Scott will bring those concerns -
to that committce’s next meeting
in his efforts to revitalize the
commission,
