Purpose of the joint meeting was to discuss the Aquatic Center , Recreation Trail and Safe Routes to School.

Jake, President of the Aquatic Center Board gave  the Aquatic Center report.:  Board members present were Les Koch and Noel Duffy. They had a good staff this last summer.  Weather was a big factor on the attendance for the year.  Cold weather kept it closed more this year than other years.  Slide issue on the cracking has been around since the center was built.  Estimate to repair is at $24,000.  Valves that were put in the water were not waterproof.  Have tired to talk to the contractor and the Engineer, but have gotten no where.  Not worth it to sue, so are slowing replacing them as needed.  The big grate will cost $7000 to replace.  Sensors in the bathroom are going out, again they were not water proof.  Ragbrai monies they received for renting out the showers was used to paint the bottom of the pool.  Budget for this next year will be $71,200 from each city.

Jake along with Mark McFate, board members, gave a report on the Recreation Trail.  Recreation Trail Board members present were Amy Ridout, Pat & Tim Downs and Roger Benda.  Duane Upah and Stu Eisentrager have done a lot of the work on the trail from the cities.  There is a web site on this trail.  They have 5 locations they did landscaping with money they received from a $5000 grant.  Having trouble with ATV using the trial.  Have signs posted, but Councilmen Zimmerman said they had posted signs to not ride on the dike south of Tama and they are riding on that all the time.  Have asked for the police to check at different times. They have completed 5.9 miles of trail from around Cherry Lake north along Deer Creek and ending at Dolezals in Toledo .  They have put in four trash cans, two on Tama portion and two on Toledo portion would like to have the cities keep them empty.  Also have installed Bat Houses along the trail to keep down on the mosquitoes.  Home Federal Bank has donated a bench for the trail, State Bank of Toledo Will be donating one. 

Matt Johnson and Dave Stoklasa from Snyder & Associates were there to give an update on the study done for the Safe Routes to School.  Donna Sampson from Region 6 and Cindy Brinney from Art ala Carte were also there on the Safe Routes.  The City of Tama Received a $50,000 grant to do this study on the Safe Routes to school for the Elementary School in Tama and Middle School in Toledo .  Their main concern was crossing of Highway 63.    They identified sidewalks and signage and discovered there was a lack of sidewalks.  There was a study done in 2002, but no one is sure who had it done and what happened to the results.  Brinney talked about the marketing and public relations her company was doing to promote this venture.  Already have T-Shirts to sell, have planned a fundraiser at the grade school in February 2010.  March will be a sign up of parents to do a save walk.  Hoping the Recreation Program in the summer will be urging the kids to walk or ride bicycles.  Then they will pursue phase2 of this project, which will be using walking trail.

Meeting was adjourned at 7:15 P.M.
