GARDEN CITY, Utah.  May 8, 2014. Tia McKee and Kerri Pugmire asked that the youth recreational program be continued for this coming summer.  McKee will be in charge of the program with Pugmire helping her.  They would like to invite children from Montpelier to Randolph to participate.  They would like a $1500 budget for the summer.  This would allow them to pay the coaches $10 an hour.  Mayor Spuhler noted that he didn’t think coaches should be paid.  They should volunteer as most coaches do in other locations.

Individuals can register, pay, and get waivers online.  The Mayor will get that internet site ready for the summer activities.  McKee asked that the Mayor let her know as soon as the computer application is up and running.

Soccer will be at the City Park on Wednesdays from 4 – 6.  Softball will be on the field in Laketown beginning June on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 – 6.  McKee and Pugmire would also like to offer swimming lessons.  They will need to have two certified life guards whenever the pool is open.  However, Garden City is currently giving lessons at the pool.  They encouraged them to check into this program and work with it if possible.  Cheerleading and tumbling will also be held in Laketown.

The Council asked that McKee keep track of her budget and submit it to the Council at the end of the summer letting them see how the money was spent.  They reported that each child is charged $10 and those from kindergarten through 5^th grade are encouraged to participate.
