LURTON PARK <br />Johnson stated the three signs are ready to go and should be installed this spring. <br />13. COMMUNITY EVENTS <br />Berg stated they have created a form and a folder for every event that lists out whether there are sponsors <br />or vendors, etc. Berg asked whether they are planning a special day at Lurton Park. <br />Johnson stated Rick Meyers has more information about that. <br />Berg stated the form would also list the volunteers. <br />Roath asked how the Park Commissioners can assist with this. <br />Berg stated she will need input from the Lurton Park Committee to provide information on what they <br />would like to see happen for the special day. <br />As it relates to the holiday lighting ceremony, Berg indicated she called all the nearby cities and most of <br />the cities do not have a date lined up yet for their lighting ceremony. Berg stated she will be speaking <br />with Council Member Seals about this event since she helped coordinate it this past year. The name of a <br />gentleman who is interested in playing Santa has been obtained. The committee will need to get together <br />at some point. <br />Roath stated he would propose that one of the items for the work session be to make progress on those <br />two events. <br />Berg requested the Park Commissioners let the committee know if there are any additional events they <br />would like to see happen. Berg noted the events have to be run by the City Council to make sure it is an <br />event they would like to see happen. <br />Roath recommended at the next work session they discuss the Lurton Park event, the Christmas events, <br />Octoberfest, and the bike-a-thon. <br />Ruegemer stated she has some articles ready for the City newsletter that will be submitted each time. <br />Ruegemer indicated she also spoke with Commissioner Johnson and Adam Edwards about the website <br />and that she would like to make sure the Adopt -a -Park and donations programs are available and more <br />visible on the website. <br />14.
