07/02/2003 - Operations CommitteeR?�
To: Operations Committee: Mayor Geagan & Council Member Carlson
Re: Meeting July 2, 2003
The Operations Committee of the Community Center will be meeting on Wednesday
morning at 8:00 am in the upstairs conference room, City Hall. Attached is the agenda for
that meeting.
The meeting is intended to review a number of issues that the Committee needs to be
informed about and to rovide direction on. I der the Fitness Program review, staff has
attached as pages -through_ the timeline for hiring of fitness
staff, schedule for sta �n the facility; the group fitness class proposal and class
descriptions. Also attached as page_ is a group fitness comparison. By
previous direction, these programs are to be fee based and are a "package of programs."
Programs for non-members at higher fees and different hours are also to be offered.
Staff will also review the membership contracts, as approved by the city attorney's office
and the method by which fees are to be collected. Of issue are daily memberships for
individuals under the age of 18 who may need parental signatures.
Staff is also proposing "a membership rate lock" as a marketing tool. This would assure
new members that rates would not be changed once they have joined. Recommendation
to the whole council seems appropriate.
Attached as pages &are the promotional programs to be offered. This is a
"try it" and then sign up as a member if you like it approach.
Attached as pagesjf�throughMis the Power Point presentation that has been
shown to Unisys employees and is scheduled for Lockheed next.
Under Child Care, the Pre-school program director and department staff have
collaborated on an initial fall program offerings for use of the Child care area. This is a
combination of pre-school programs, joint programs with fitness, and straight child care
for parents during late afternoon and early evening hours. This follows previous
discussion with the operations committee some months back.
With operational experience of the Blast, staffwould like to review the policy issue of
refunds and rain checks. Requests have occurred when a large group has shown up and
daily visitors feel that the area has too many children.
Attached as page_E_is a proposal for fees for additional services and equipment for
approval. This reflects requests for use of equipment and services by groups who already
used the center.
Also attached as pager_ is the proposed fall / winter outline of gym use, which
reflects the Community Center have at least one court (North) open for members. The
other two would be used by others as depicted on the sheet. (Day time classes are not
reflected in this graphic) The graphic depicts that adults would be offered t gyms on
Sunday night, typically a day that the youth associations do not want. The youth would
get Saturday mornings and week day times in the evening. Fridays were not requested, so
recreation staff are looking at creating a program to fill this space (revenues)
The Community Center is authorized, but has not yet filled, a full time clerical position
for the front counter. While this position is needed, staff is seeking approval to hire a
custodial position as this is seen as the most urgent of needs.
Teens have previously approached the Council about their perspectives on the teen
center. Attached as pages through is a memo prepared
on behalf of E-TAB regarding their approach to collecting additional teen input.
There are other items on the agenda that require some brief discussion and review by the
committee.

Re: Teen Survey Recommendations
Introduction
On Tuesday April 15, 6 teens from the Eagan Teen Advisory Board attended a Listening Session held
by the City Council. During the listening session teens had the opportunity to ask questions and
provide feedback about the new Teen Center which is scheduled to open this fall. As a result of these
discussions, the City Council asked the Teen Advisory Board to reflect about some questions they
thought should be included in a teen survey. On April 22 at a regularly schedule Teen Advisory Board
meeting the teens discussed the questions and ideas for surveying teens. They also asked that I
prepare a summary of their discussion to present to the City Council.
Summary and Recommendation
The teens agree that a survey is a great idea. They felt that the best ways to get teens to respond to a
survey are as follows:
1) prepare a short, concise questionnaire which contains maybe 5 major points
2) do not mail the survey to them
3) go to places where teens hang out
a. Battle of the Bands (programs), Caribou Coffee, The Garage
b. Utilize the survey as a research project for school and during classes
4) utilize peers to ask questions or pass out and collect the surveys
5) give teens incentives to complete the survey
