GENERAL MANAGER BOARD OF DIRECTORS <br />Jim Friedl Joe Gibson, Chair <br />Ed Jones, Vice Chair <br />George Lange, Director <br />Susan L. Holt, Director <br />Chuck Huffer, Director <br />GENERAL MANAGER EMERITUS <br />Tex Ward <br />DATE: September 4, 2014 <br />TO: Board of Directors <br />FROM: Jim Frie� <br />SUBJECT: Expansion of Young Athlete Recognition Program Committee <br />Responsibilities <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Expand the scope of the "Young Athlete Recognition Program Committee" to include adults for <br />possible special recognition of extraordinary athletic accomplishments. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Conejo Recreation and Park District recognizes employees, volunteers and community <br />members through a variety of means. A list of the various means of recognition is attached as <br />Exhibit 1. As for sports prowess or athletic ability, the District has a program to recognize <br />young adults (both individuals and teams) for their extraordinary athletic achievements. This <br />award is prestigious and only given out on average twice/year. Past high school student <br />recipients include athletes who eventually went on to have successful college and professional <br />careers in a variety of sports and athletic endeavors. (Exhibit 2). <br />The ad hoc special recognition committee (Directors Holt & Huffer) met to discuss whether <br />similar recognition may be appropriate for adults in our community who perform remarkable <br />and extraordinary athletic achievements considering the difficulty or uniqueness of <br />accomplishment. <br />After some discussion, the committee felt (and staff concurs) that the existing Young Athlete <br />Recognition Program Committee could expand its scope to also recognize adults for <br />extraordinary athletic achievements. <br />403 West Hillcrest Drive I Thousand Oaks, CA 91360-4223 <br />(805) 495-6471 FAX: (805) 497-3199 Email: parks@crpd.org <br />
