Fort Wayne Parks & Recreation Department Staff Reports reporting December 13, 2018 thru to February 12, 2019 Steve McDaniel ~ Director The design team members for the next phases of Riverfront Development were in town in January for a public engagement meeting at the Grand Wayne. We had great attendance for this event by the public. The consultant for the Franke Park Master Plan had two concepts that they showed at a public meeting on February 7th. That gave the public an opportunity to see the plans and make comments before the final draft plan will be put together. NIPSCO demobilized their work at the Old Fort and in the river. They will be restoring the site in the spring. We have been approached by the landowners of a parcel adjacent and north of Kreager Park. We received two appraisals which the average came in at a little over $2,400. We are putting together a purchase agreement contingent on Board and City Council approval. We received the second disbursement from Regional Cities for RDA funds for Promenade Park in the beginning of January. We are working with a vendor on lease documents, buildout plans, and costs for the restauranteur for Promenade Park. Legal will be reviewing the lease as we look at the construction plans for the buildout of the space. We received qualifications from several companies as we look at a different ticketing system for the Foellinger Theater. We have started the internal review process to determine which system would be best for our use and the customer. We are starting the process to update our Community Needs Assessment. Staff members are looking at the questions we had from 2011 and are making recommendations for updates. We are reaching out to a couple of vendors who might be able to do the statistical information gathering that is required. The annual IPRA conference is February 19th-21st. We have received an award for one of our programs and will be in attendance to accept the award. We have contracted with a local engineering firm to evaluate the possibility of building a marina. With us having a few boats and others in the future, we thought it would be best if we could keep them in the water on a daily basis. Their first concepts look promising and we will continue to explore what it might look like and potential costs. City Utilities will begin working on the retrieval shaft in Foster Park as early as March. They have said that they will be working at the park on a regular basis moving forward. We continue to work with the Law Department and the City and Arts United with regards to Freimann Square and their plans on renovations and expansion. The Mayor held his State of the City address on February 13th at the Grand Wayne Center. The Department was mentioned with several of our projects. I will be the guest on Councilman Didier’s call in show in March. We will be discussing all that Parks & Recreation has to offering this spring.

However, due to the severe weather (about 15 degrees and several inches of snow that fell that evening) our attendance was down to 46.

    Women's Bureau Annual Report 2010

    WOMEN’S BUREAU 2010 Annual Report Advancing Women Through Advocacy, Education and Economic Empowerment Smashing Success in 2010! In 2010, the economy continued struggling. Many social service agencies laid-off employees while the state cut funding and foundations found fewer dollars to disperse. The picture was bleak for many yet the Women’s Bureau can point to an incredibly successful year due to the hard work of dedicated staff members Left to Right: Earlene Cunegin, CFO; and generous community supporters. Patty VanLeuven, COO; Jeanette Dillon, CEO The Women’s Bureau was among those who had to layoff staff and reconfigure positions in 2010. Despite that, more clients were served by the Bureau in 2010 than were served in 2009. Moreover, the Bureau managed to end 2010 in the black, a major change from the $120,000 deficit of 2009. Certainly a major aspect of the Bureau’s success in 2010 was the incredible year of fundraisers. From the return of the run, jane, run Golf Classic to a remarkable Walk A Mile In Her Shoes during which 967 participants put the Bureau in the Guinness Book of World Records, 2010 events raised money to support needed services at the Bureau. Another success in 2010 was the Bureau’s receipt of CARF accreditation for the third time. CARF International awarded the Bureau with its top level Three-Year Accreditation after demonstrating to a team of surveyors that the Bureau’s programs and services continue to be measurable, accountable and of the highest quality. The Women’s Bureau also entered into more collaborations with other nonprofits to better serve the disadvantaged of the community.

    Higher Ed Opportunities by Charlee Beasor Fort Wayne Team ‘Mad’ About Business Forum

    Higher Ed Opportunities By Charlee Beasor Fort Wayne Team ‘Mad’ About Business Forum usiness and basketball: We’ve read many times that all professional sports are “just a business,” but the two terms don’t always share a common bond. For the Fort Wayne Mad Ants, however, the pairing makes perfect sense. Last year, the NBA development league team established the Mad Ants Business BForum, which hosts business professionals as lecturers during a six-session series. Speakers address the crowd and network with local business leaders, young professionals and college students prior to home basketball games at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum. “At first glance, why in the world would a basketball team start this?” admits Sarah Wladecki, vice president of the Mad Ants and business forum coordinator. “There was a team in Maine that realized they had connections to some pretty powerful people in the community.” She notes that the forum encourages the “young professional demographic” to get involved with the team. “They are potentially in the future going to rise to leadership positions in their companies. It’s a good group of people to get involved with,” Wladecki explains. “We also have connections with a similar group of very well-known and very successful business people,” thanks in large part to the team’s ties with the NBA, investors and team majority owner John Zeglis – former chairman and CEO for AT&T Wireless. The team is partnering with Manchester College for the program’s second year. “We didn’t really have (a partner) last year – we were just getting started, making sure we worked out all the kinks.
