4. Presentation
A. Waste Sort Review
Lena Larson, Municipal Services Coordinator, discussed the May 2019 RRC Waste Sort Report that the
city contracted to have completed. It provided information about the amount of recycling and organic
materials are ending up in the garbage. While the report was encouraging, there is still room for
improvement at the city facilities the waste sort was done at. There will continue to be a push to educate
people on recycling, organics and trash. A clarification provided was that if a piece of paper is smaller
than your fist, it should be thrown in the trash. Lena will check on the recyclability of the paper cups
with the wax coating used at the Rambling River Center. Staff will check on compostable plates and
forks for the waffle breakfast.
B. Trip Planning Committee
Vice-Chair Koski reviewed the trips planned in 2020 including visiting the Ives Theater, the Harriet-
Como Streetcar, and Fun Fridays, which were requested by members. Board members seemed to like
the trips planned to occur in 2020.
5. Business Items
A. 2019 Garage Sale Fundraiser
A meeting that occurred prior to the garage sale with the volunteers seemed to work well because it laid
out expectations and provided direction to the volunteers. There were many good comments! Volunteers
seemed to appreciate learning about where the garage sale proceeds will go and what the new donation
guidelines were. Donation of items for the garage sale fundraiser are starting to be accepted at the
Rambling River Center today.
B. Waffle Breakfast and Silent Auction Fundraiser
Staff reviewed the list of businesses, which will receive a letter asking them to donate an item to the Silent
Auction. Board members were assigned different businesses to be responsible to contact if the business
did not initially donate an item for the Silent Auction. The plan is to have up to 80 baskets for the Silent
Auction that has contents containing a value of $50 each. Only new items will be accepted for silent
auction donation s and an emphasis will be placed on having gift cards either donated or purchased.
Waffle Breakfast tickets will start to be sold at Family Fresh Market on the Wednesday after the garage
sale ends. Wood has agreed to coordinate ticket sales.
C. Halloween Walk Participation
The Rambling River Center will again participate in the Halloween Walk because there are three RRC
members who want to participate. The Wizard of Oz characters will be the theme. There was still a need
for two additional volunteers. Advisory Board members were asked if anyone was interested in
volunteering to help with this event. While no Advisory Board members volunteered to participate in the
Halloween Walk, they did support participating in the event and encouraged Recreation Supervisor
Kohlbeck to promote to the membership this volunteer opportunity to dress up in costume and participate
in this event.
D. Painting Banquet Room Ceiling and Block Wall
The low bid for the painting of the banquet room ceiling came in at $3,787.66. The other bid was over
$6,000.00. Motion by Moes and seconded by Hennen to have CertaPro Painters paint the banquet room
ceiling and the block wall above the existing painted wall. APIF. Motion carried.
E. Banquet Room Floor Project
The flooring materials for the Banquet Room will cost $11,564 including the trim pieces. The floor
materials will be purchased from the same company that the floor materials for the Harry and Louise
Ross Room were purchased from. Staff provided a computer rendering of the various floor colors that
could be installed in the Banquet Room. Motion made by Reichert to purchase the vinyl plank flooring
from Flooret, the floor should be purchased in the color arbor, and purchase the associated trim for the
banquet room locally. Motion was seconded by Hennen. APIF. Motion carried.
E. T-shirt for RRC Volunteers
Staff presented an idea about purchasing t-shirts for volunteers who sit at the front desk, so they can be
recognized as a volunteer. The Advisory Board thought Advisory Board members should also receive a
volunteer t-shirt. Motion made by Moes and seconded by Reichert to purchase t-shirts for Advisory
Board members and front desk volunteers. APIF. Motion carried.
Staff will solicit prices and a design for the t-shirts and will bring back information at the next Advisory
Board meeting.
6. Discussion Items
