OPN Architects out of Cedar Rapids is coming 11/21/23 from 10-12pm to tour the facilities to gauge a better understanding of potential updates/renovations. This is at no cost. Board members, City Hall reps and Scott Thomson are all welcome to join.

Jami Weinacht will be using Kessel Lodged every Thursday for the rest of the year from 5:30-7pm for Yoga. A quieter place compared to the busyness of the CFC.
Kerian reported on Recreation: Winter Recreation & Programming: Basketball registrations due 11/29/23. Will have all 3 age groups on Monday: biddy, 3-6th. Focusing on fundamentals, skills competitions, free throw contest and games. Fall swimming lessons are going well. There are swim clinics for the Swim Team. Hoping to add adult swim lessons and free after school programs 2x a week – more to come!
