5. Business Items
A. 2020 Arts and Crafts Fundraiser
Recreation Supervisor Kohlbeck informed Board members that refunds have been processed. Many of
the arts and craft vendors requested to be notified about the show next year as they are interested in
being in the show if it is held. It was decided the 2021 arts and crafts fair event will be discussed later in
the summer as to the possibility having one in 2021 and if it is, to select a date for the show, so Schmitz-
Maki Arena can be reserved on the date selected.
B. 2020 Waffle Breakfast and Silent Auction Fundraiser
Koski informed Board members that Kenny LeBeau is not interested in cooking for this event. The Dad’s
Belgian Waffle in St. Cloud has not responded to Recreation Supervisor Kohlbeck’s communication to
them. Recreation Supervisor Kohlbeck informed Board members that the Rambling River Center is still
on the schedule for the Dad’s Belgian Waffle group that travels from Algona, Iowa.
There was much discussion about how to be able to have social distancing occur during the breakfast
and silent auction. Some ideas included: do a drive through for picking up the waffle breakfast items,
and have a set scheduled for seating times to eat, so it limits how many people are in the banquet room
at the same time.
There was discussion about the silent auction. It was felt that it would be difficult to ask local business
to donate items for the silent auction when they are also suffering because of lost business during
COVID 19. There was also a feeling it would be difficult to maintain proper social distancing during
the silent auction. There was also a feeling that it would be difficult to have any kind of presale of waffle
breakfast tickets because Family Fresh Market was closed and there wouldn’t be any place in the city to
have a table to pre-sell tickets.
By consensus a decision on the Waffle Breakfast and Silent Auction was postponed until the June 8,
2020 meeting.
C. Organize City Council Meet and Greet
It was discussed that social distancing would likely be in effect, which would make it difficult to have an
in-person meet and greet of candidates. Board members discussed the option of using an online format.
An on-line format would create new issues because it would not be interactive and would feel like it is a
forum instead of a meet and greet. A meet and greet was meant to be an opportunity to get to interact
and get to know the candidates on a more personal level.
Board member Hennen explained that with her health issue she would not be attending these types of
events. She thought many others with a health issue would also not be attending these types of events.
The committee will continue to brainstorm possible ideas and formats to use.
D. Park Facilities Tour with Parks and Recreation Commission
The tour is planned for July 8, 2020 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Board members were asked if they were
interested in touring any specific park. Page said she is interested in touring Evergreen Knoll, North
Creek and Tamarack. Moes is interested in touring newly completed parks. The tentative plan is to start
the tour at the RRC, where the bus is located. It will also include a tour of Schmitz-Maki Arena. Board
members were advised to contact Parks and Recreation Director Distad if they had other parks and/or
facilities they would like to visit during the tour. He informed Board members he would share these tour
sites with the Parks and Recreation Commission members at their meeting this Wednesday night.
E. Trespassing and Behavioral Reporting Procedure
Parks and Recreation Director Distad reviewed the draft reporting procedure. He informed Board
members it was based on a discussion the Board had with Deputy Chief Jim Constantineau at the March
9, meeting. The procedure uses the information and recommendation Deputy Chief Constantineau
provided to make this more or a procedure to follow rather than a policy. A motion was made by Koski
and seconded by Hennen to approve the procedure and provide a bulleted list of the types of incidents to
be addressed and the list should be placed at the front desk to assist volunteers as to when 911 should be
called. APIF. Motion carried.
6. Discussion Items
A. Tour Other Senior Centers
Recreation Supervisor Kohlbeck informed the Board that the Senior Center’s that the Board was going to
tour all have different re-opening dates. Because of this she felt it would be best to postpone and
reschedule the tours in the fall when it is more likely they will be open for a tour. Board members by
consensus felt it would be better to re-schedule the tour to sometime this fall. Page volunteered to email
questions to be asked at the Senior Centers when they are toured.
B. Committee Reports
Committees were not able to meet due to COVID-19 restrictions. They are on hold until further notice.
C. 2020 Work Plan
Director Distad provided an update on completed items including:
• the RRCAB By-laws were approved at the May 4, 2020 City Council meeting
• funding for master planning has been requested in the 2021 budget
• the Behavioral and Trespassing Policy was revised to a procedure
• fees and charges will be discussed at the June and July meetings
• the fundraising goal will be hard to meet with so many fundraising events canceled.
• the City Council candidate meet and greet is currently tabled
• the trip planning committee is suspended until such time bus trips can be resumed
• the senior center building tours are also currently on hold
• the July 8 tour with Park and Recreation Commission is on as scheduled but will depend on the
current Center for Disease Control and Minnesota Department of Health COVID 19 guidelines
that are in place on the date of the tour
He shared the 2020 work plan will be updated that reflect the most recent items completed by the Board.
7. Staff Report
a. Informational Updates
Staff provided an update to Board members about the following items:
• Dew Days was cancelled, which means all RRC fundraising events held during Dew Days are
also cancelled.
• 2020 RRC front desk and door replacement improvements are on hold and may not be completed
in 2020 due to budget constraints, however there has been painting that has been completed in
the Nicolai Board Room and in some of the hallways
• The bid at the arena exceeded the budgeted amount by $75,000.00, so the project will not occur
this year, nor will there be any funds available for a new transit van
• RRC software SeniorSpace is ready to go when the building re-opens.
• There will be no additional Farmington VFW steak fry fundraiser in 2020 as they have currently
cancelled all steak fries until further notice, which means the next Farmington VFW steak fry
fundraiser for the RRC will not occur until the summer of 2021
8. Advisory Roundtable.

sanitizer with us. She informed the Board that when she was at the dentist office, it did not allow use of
the restroom or magazines in waiting area.

S U B J EC T:2020 Waffle Breakfas t and S ilent A ucon
DATE:June 8, 2020
I N T R O D U C TI O N
The annual R R C D ad’s Belgian Waffle Breakfas t and S ilent A ucon fundraising event began in 2006 w ith
just a w affle breakfas t. I n 2007 a silent aucon w as added. I t has been held annually s ince then.
D I S C U S S I O N
D uring the May 11, 2020 meeng A dvis ory Board members and staff discussed the waffle breakfast and
s ilent aucon fundraiser. There was dis cus s ion about trying to w ork through a different waffle breakfast
vendor to serve the breakfast. Information was provided at the meeting that staff had contacted, a few
months ago, a Dad's Belgian Waffle group that is located by St. Cloud, Minnesota to see if they would
be interested in being hired to serve the waffle breakfast. Advisory Board members were updated that
staff has not heard anything back from this group about their interest. T he Algona, Iowa group that
has served the waffle breakfast is still under contract to serve this year's breakfast, but there was
support for trying to use a different Dad's Belgian Waffle Breakfast group to serve the meal.
There was also discussion about having a different kind of breakfas t s erved s uch as omelets or pancakes .
I t was determined that this is no longer an opon given the lack of interes t from other's w ho w ere
contacted about serving a different breakfast meal.
There seemed to be general consens us that it will be difficult to hold the w affle breakfas t given the C O V I D
19 pandemic and s ocial distancing requirements during the breakfast. There was s ome dis cus s ion about
pos s ibly having a curbs ide service to serve the w affles, but it w as determined it w ould be difficult to do
this . I n addion, since the Family F resh M arket grocery s tore clos ed, it w ill also be difficult to sell ckets
anyw here in Farmington in advance of the breakfas t.
D iscussion als o occurred during the meeng about the silent aucon. I t w as determined the same is s ues
w ill be faced by the silent aucon as will be faced by the w affle breakfas t. There w as als o dis cus s ion
about the difficulty it w ill be to as k busines s es to donate a s ilent aucon item when they have suffered a
financial hards hip due to the C O V I D 19 restricons they have faced and will connue to face.
W hile no formal acon w as taken on whether to connue to offer this event in 2020 versus cancelling it, it
w as decided by cons ensus to postpone any decision about the waffle breakfast and s ilent aucon unl
the J une meeng, so a connued dis cus s ion could occur.
A C T I O N R EQ U E S T E D
The A dvis ory Board is as ked to come to the meeng prepared to further discuss the Waffle Breakfas t and
S ilent A ucon fundrais er and then make a decision about having the event in 2020.

DATE:June 8, 2020
I N T R O D U C TI O N
A nnually the A dvis ory Board reviews the current Rambling River C enter (R R C ) fees and charges and then
makes a recommendaon to the Park and Recreaon C ommis s ion about if any fees should be either
increased, remain the s ame, or decreased.
D I S C U S S I O N
A,ached is the s taff recommended 2021 R R C fees and a comparis on to the current 2020 fees and
charges . S taff is recommending the membership fee be increased $1.00 in 2021. The las t me the
membership fee was increased w as in 2019 when it w as increas ed $2.00.
Because rental fees were increased in 2020, staff is not recommending to increas e facility rental fees in
2021. I n addion all other R R C fees are recommended to remain the s ame as the 2020 fees.
A C T I O N R EQ U E S T E D
S taff is requesng the A dvisory Board first review the s taff recommended 2021 R R C fees, then be prepared

S U B J EC T:Tour O ther S enior C enters
DATE:June 8, 2020
I N T R O D U C TI O N
At the February 10, 2020 A dvis ory Board meeng a discussion occurred about the A dvisory Board taking
a tour of other s enior center facilies that are in clos e proximity to Farmington.
D I S C U S S I O N
P revious ly the A dvisory Board approved touring the following four facilies :
Northfield
H as ngs
Ros emount
Eagan
Recreaon S upervis or Kohlbeck then contacted the four idenfied senior center facilies to see if they
w ould be recepve to the A dvisory Board touring their facility. S he learned they were recepve to
providing a tour.
I nially the tour s chedule that was s et was as follows:
May 4 at Northfield and H as ngs
May 18 at Ros emount and Eagan
H owever, becaus e the recent C O V I D 19 pandemic did not allow the facility tours to occur as s cheduled,
Recreaon S upervis or Kohlbeck was able to res chedule the M ay 4 tour date at the senior centers in
Northfield and H as ngs to June 15. At the same me, s he did not hear back from Ros emount and Eagan
about rescheduling the tour of their facilies .
S taff has discussed the logis cs with connuing to postpone the tour date to a later date becaus e of the
C O V I D -19 pandemic res tricons and have come to the realiz aon that since s ome of the facilies on the
tour will not likely re-open unl the fall of 2020, it w ould be bes t to pos tpone the facilies tour unl the
s pring of 2021 in order to allow the pandemic to play out more with it being more likely that the facilies
w ill be open and fully operaonal in the s pring of 2021.
S taff w ould further recommend that this goal on the A dvisory Board's 2020 w ork plan be carried over to
the 2021 work plan.
