5. Business Items
A. 2019 Financial Support Program Annual Limit Amount
Distad shared that if the annual membership fee would increase, then there should be an increase to
maximum amount that can be accessed from the Financial Support Program to cover the increased cost
of the membership. Advisory Board members agreed. Wood made a motion contingent on the City
Council approving the membership fee increasing to $37.00 that the Financial Support yearly maximum
limit should be increased to $37.00. The motion was seconded by Koski. APIF. Motion carried.
B. Waffle Breakfast and Silent Auction
The RRCAB will start selling tickets at Family Fresh on September 26. Wood will be in charge of
scheduling. Kohlbeck was directed to put up a giving tree requesting silent auction items. A list for
volunteers to create baskets will be provided on a volunteer board. RRCAB members will supervise
basket making M/W/F from 1 pm – 3 pm in October. Each RRCAB member is responsible for soliciting
the business assigned to him/her for a silent auction item.
6. Discussion Items
A. Park and Facilities Tour
Tour is schedule for this Wednesday, August 15. Be outside the RRC garage at 6 pm sharp to board the
bus. Page is unable to attend.
B. Review 2018 Work Plan
A review was completed. It was noted the volunteer sign up board is being noticed and people are
signing up to volunteer. Page has been following up with the person who signed up to volunteer.
C. Review cost for Mailing Newsletter to all Farmington School District Households
Total mailing cost is $5,615 and there is not funding in the budget to cover this cost. Advisory Board
members shared it is more than they want to spend. Some RRC information is provided in the City News
and Recreation Guide. Recreation Supervisor Kohlbeck shared she is working on emailing to members
The River newsletter through Mailchimp. She informed Advisory Board members she will be sending
the September/October edition via email. There was some discussion about having member
testimonials be included in future newsletters.
D. Halloween Walk Participants
The RRCAB would like to see if the general membership has interest in assisting with this. There is some
concern about the amount of time commitment it will require especially the night before the waffle
breakfast. The Advisory Board felt participation in the Halloween Walk should be an item that is voted
on at the September meeting and after asking RRC members if there is enough interest to have a booth
at the Halloween Walk..
7. Staff Report
a. Informational Updates
The Park and Recreation Commission has identified the possible makeup of a Bike Pedestrian
Plan committee. One of the organizations identified by the Park and Recreation Commission to
have representation on the committee is the RRCAB. Distad shared that it is envisioned that the
committee would meet once a month during the months of January – April 2019. He suggested
that at the September meeting, a member be selected to be on the committee.
The RRC Plaza schematic design plan and construction cost estimate process has been started.
There have been consultants hired to develop the design plan. As part of this plan there will be a
boundary survey work and utility inventory and location completed.
The City Council will interview for an additional RRCAB member on August 20 and if the
interview goes well, the candidate would be appointed at the September 4 City Council meeting.
This would mean the new member if appointed would be able to start attending the September 10
Advisory Board meeting.
8. Advisory Roundtable
Page – Nothing
Wood – Will do advanced sales for waffle tickets sooner than Sept. 26 if wanted.
Reichert – Thanks to Director Distad for the attention to Depot Way Arts Park. Asked if there should be
visits with the City Council added during the Coffee Café program and if the visits are supported then
City Council members would need to be invited. Asked if the cost of a blood pressure machine could be
researched.
Koski – To make trips easier for people to attend she has been reminding them they can volunteer and
earn volunteer bucks to help reduce the cost of a trip. Asked if a sign could be put up about two weeks
before a deadline in order to remind people to register for the trip/program/event. It has been
frustrating and she doesn’t like to see trips cancelled.
Briesacher – Staffing issue is frustrating and we are looking forward to Shelley coming back. Cleaning
continues to be an issue. Floor is dirty/sticky during exercise/dance classes and it may be dangerous.
9. Agenda Items for September 10, 2018 Meeting

In years past, the R ambling R iver C enter Advisory Board members partic ipated in the annual Halloween

Advisory Board has not partic ipated. T here was dis cus s ion at the August 13, 2018 Advis ory Board
meeting about participating in the 2018 Halloween Walk, however no decision was made and instead by
cons ensus it was dec ided to wait until the S eptember 10 meeting to make a dec is ion in order for Advis ory
Board members to have s ome time to think about whether or not they wanted to partic ipate in the 2018
event.
As result this item is on the meeting agenda s o the Advis ory Board can make a decision about whether or
not it will participate in the Halloween Walk bas ed on having enough participants either from the Advisory
Board, regular R R C members or a combination of both .
AC T ION R E Q UE S T E D
T he reques ted action is to have the Advisory Board dec ide if it will partic ipate in the Halloween Walk and if
they do, which Advisory Board and/or R R C members will partic ipate in the event, s o a Halloween Walk booth
can be res erved.
