ITEM: 5.1
Title
2012 Triathlon Update
Background
Staff presented a plan to conduct a Lakeside Commons Park Triathlon in 2012 to the City Council and Park Board in August, and both were in favor of moving forward with the event. However, in order to receive resident comments, the City Council advised staff to present completed details of the triathlon at a future Park Board meeting. With this in mind, staff informed the Park Board that this meeting would be designated for presentation of the current triathlon plans and would be opened to the public for their questions and comments. Letters were mailed to all residents in the areas of the bike and run legs inviting them to attend this meeting (letter is attached). The presentation also serves to provide information to participants, volunteers and spectators.
Staff has prepared a brief power point presentation that will be shown prior to Park Board and audience discussion. It is the Chairman's choice when to allow audience comments.
Recommendation
Information and discussion.
