5. Business Items
A. Board and Commission Reception Attendance
Director Distad asked Board members to identify if they will or will not be attending the City Council’s
board and commission reception at 6:30 p.m. on December 5, 2019 at the Bourbon Butcher in
Farmington. All six Board members in attendance said they would be attending. Recreation Supervisor
will check with Board member Hennen to see if she will be attending since she is absent at this meeting.
Chair Page will use the Board’s 2019 Work Plan to share with other reception attendees what the
Board worked on and accomplished in 2019. Director Distad said he would update the 2019 work plan
and then send the updated work plan to Chair Page to use at the reception.
B. Review of Halloween Walk Participation
There were 1,519 participants this year during the Halloween Walk. RRC members handed out candy as
Wizard of Oz characters. The Board by consensus decided that as long as members are willing to
volunteers to hand out candy during the Halloween Walk, the RRC will continue to have a booth and
hand out candy.
C. 2019 Waffle Breakfast and Silent Auction Fundraiser Financial Report
Recreation Supervisor Kohlbeck shared reviewed a financial report from the fundraiser. Total revenues
received from the waffle breakfast and silent auction was $4,102. Total cost of expenses for the event
was $1,025. The total net profit was $3,077. Fudge donated for the silent auction did not sell, so it is
being sold at the RRC as a way to generate some additional revenue.
Recreation Supervisor Kohlbeck shared the waffle breakfast sold 176 tickets and did not meet the 225
minimum number of tickets required to be sold. This meant there was an additional expense to cover
because of not meeting the minimum number of ticket sales.
Recreation Supervisor Kohlbeck recommended shortening the number of hours, which will mean the
minimum number of tickets required to be sold will decrease.
She also commented about the people who worked for Dad’s Belgian Waffles were not polite with some
of the volunteers and directed them reduce the amount of sausages handed out and limit the amount of
whipped cream. This seemed to be in conflict with the tag line “all you can eat” waffle breakfast. She
suggested that it might be time to look for a different Dad’s Belgian Waffle Breakfast franchisee and that
she has hear about one that is based in St. Cloud. There is not a requirement that we have to use the
same franchisee from year to year. This franchisee is closer meaning there could be reduced travel costs
associated with contracting their services. The Board by consensus agreed with Recreation Supervisor
Kohlbeck about this suggestion
The Board also discussed having Recreation Supervisor Kohlbeck look into other breakfast options and
bring them back to the Board for review because of the reduction in waffle breakfast ticket sales the past
few years.
6. Discussion Items

business of selling buses is aware of this and will call us when they have more buses for us to look at.
