CM Mack asked if the Fused Glass Jewelry class is a new class. Staff stated the class was a one day class
which was not held due to low enrollment.
CM Guarienti asked if pottery firing can be done at the Adult School. Staff said yes and since firing is
offered locally Staff is not concerned with duplicating the activity.
CM Mack asked about the decrease in the Balloon Twister class. Staff stated the instructor took the
summer off, but will be returning to offer classes at the Senior Center.
CM Ito asked if the Fall Newsletter covers four months as many December items were included. Staff
stated December was included in the Fall Newsletter since the printing prices will increase in January
and to coordinate with the timing of the Activity Guide. CM Guarienti stated she prefers to have
quarters that match up with the calendar year. Staff stated the quarters differ from the calendar year in
an effort to correspond with the Activity Guide.
CM Guarienti stated that she heard some grumbling about the Trail Trekkers fee increasing to $2. Ms.
Mack, Parks and Community Services Commission Liaison, commented that the $2 fee is probably
cheaper than other organized walking groups. CM Ito stated participants can buy their tickets now at the
current $1.50 rate and continue to use them next year. CM Guarienti suggested adding an expiration
date to the Trail Trekkers tickets.
