Summary

The Davis Community Center director reported a doubling in kid-camp enrollment from the prior year, increased demand at the Mini Food Center (from about 150–200 to 500–600 weekly), and plans for a soft opening of a 24-hour gym in August; a community collection is scheduled July 7–21.

Bandemer, director of the Davis Community Center, told the council that kid-camp enrollment doubled compared with the previous year and that summer traffic is lighter, allowing the center to offer some half-price days for kids. Bandemer thanked the Carroll County Senior Center for helping bus children to camps and said the Mini Food Center’s demand has risen from roughly 150–200 families per week to about 500–600 per week; a community collection is planned July 7–21 to support that need.

Bandemer also said software for a 24-hour gym was shipped the prior week and the center hopes for a soft opening in August. The minutes record those operational updates and the planned community collection; no budgetary amounts or program eligibility details were included in the transcript.
