Parks & Rec seeks volunteers, secures sponsorship and adds Michael Crum to commission
Summary
Parks & Recreation proposed a volunteer-hours certification program for students, reported a $1,500 verbal sponsorship for a 2025 music event, approved an independent contractor agreement for painting classes ($1,200 total) and appointed Michael Crum to the Parks & Rec Commission.
Parks & Recreation presented a set of initiatives including a proposed volunteer-hours certification letter to be distributed to local schools, outreach plans to partner organizations (Lions Club, Boy Scouts), and a plan to advertise the volunteer program through the city newsletter and website. The commission also reported a verbal $1,500 sponsorship commitment for a 2025 music event and requested council approval to draft and review the volunteer certification materials.
"We did receive a verbal commitment from Bolton and Mink for a sponsorship ship of $1,500 for a 2025 music event," the Parks & Rec chair said, noting sponsorship progress. The council approved a $1,200 independent-contractor agreement for four painting classes in 2025 and unanimously appointed Michael Crum to the Parks & Recreation Commission. The Parks & Rec chair said staff will provide final volunteer-program copy for council review prior to distribution.
