The annual Easter Egg hunt in the swimming pool will be on Saturday, April 12th starting at 10 a.m. Attendees are asked to bring a basket or bag to gather the eggs in. The session for kids ages 0-5 is at 10 a.m. (with an adult or teen over 13 required to be in the pool), and at 11 a.m. for kids ages 6-10. Once the eggs are all collected, the kids can swim for 30 minutes since there’ll be a lifeguard on duty. Goodie bags will be given to every participant.
Prophetstown Park District board members and staff were invited to volunteer at Pat’s Table community meal on Monday, May 12th.
Reports from Commissioners
Commissioner Sandy Johnson requested that if there’s any issues with maintenance or other items that will be made public, to let the board know via text or email. Commissioner and Board President Tom Green is not seeking reelection this year, so they’ll need to discuss his replacement in May once the new board is sworn in.
Unfinished Business
Green asked for 10 years of basic financial reports to be given to board members in March so they can continue discussions on establishing a foundation or endowment fund. Green said he’d be open to being on the committee that would oversee it, since he won’t be on the Park District board. Sommers-Buck will work with FNB to get paperwork and minimum amounts needed so they can discuss having both an endowment and foundation.
Correspondence
Around Ptown’s advertising contract will be up for renewal soon, with the board discussing whether to keep the same options or go with something different. Sommers-Buck will get metrics for the past year, with further discussion and a decision expected at the March meeting.
The next regular meeting of the Board of Commissioners will be on Wednesday, March 19th at 7 p.m.
The Prophetstown Park District facility in mid-February.
