Good evening. I'd like to call the Egan Advisory Parks and Rec Commission meeting for November twenty twenty four to order. Pledge of the flag of the United States of America, the Republic for which is one nation under the justice for all the changes to the agenda that was printed. No chair. Do I have a motion? I'll move to approve the agenda. I second. All in favor? Aye. Opposed. Motion carries. We approve the agenda. All right, we have the minutes. We haven't had a meeting for the last couple years. So this is from August. Any questions or comments before we accept a motion on the agenda of the uh minutes? Seeing no discussion, do I have a motion? We move we accept the minutes. We have a second. I'll second. All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Opposed. All right. Any visitors to be heard that are not on the agenda already. Seeing none, we'll move into presentations. Pass it off to Tony. Chair and Commission, we have our recreation superintendent, Tanya Moazinger here to present on her division that includes all the fun recreation activities from the art house, preschool, special events, adult athletics, and more. And more. And more. We'll try to keep the Ann Moore short tonight. But Chair and Commissions, thank you very much for having me. Jared, thank you for the introduction. Excited to share with you some of the awesome things the recreation division has done over the past year and maybe forecast some of those items that are coming up here in 2025. Like Jared said, my name's Tanya Mazingo, superintendent of recreation. I've been with the City of Vegan just about eight years. Um leader of the recreation team for the past four. On my team, we have three recreation supervisors. You'll hear about each of them individually later, as well as two recreation programmers and a plethora of part-time staff that help us out serve the community in a variety of different ways. We also are supported by the customer service team, our maintenance team, and a ton of uh internal teams as well. We couldn't do what we do without their support. So I'll jump right in. We'll give a brief overview of some of the different areas I want to cover tonight. We'll go through each of those in depth, and we'll start off with some of the new initiatives. Um of the new programs that the team has implemented this year have been focused around teen programming. Um so we held our first ever leaders in training program, which was held this summer. Um we heard lots of great feedback and are excited to make some adjustments to welcome it back for 2025. Those kids um helped us. They were trained and onboarded as if they were summer staff, and then they headed out into the field and helped our uh parks and recreation staff at our summer in the park sites throughout the summer and got to gain some work experience.
