Public present were Jessica Lillihaug and Linnea Hall. Mayor Julie Good was present, and opened the meeting at 6:00 P.M. Discussion Items Bike-A-Thon Winners Mayor Good stated that the two winners will be able to pick out a new bike. She will contact the donor and designate 2-3 bikes for each winner to choose from. Trunk or Treat Debrief The Trunk or Treat went well. We need to arrive earlier if we want to designate where cars set up. They were already lined up by 12:30! This year, we had a pumpkin patch where winners who found spiders in the trunks could win a pumpkin. The winning trunk was Abbie Crogh with the library. Participants were given trophies to hand out for best costumes. Skate Park Items Committee Member Sullivan stated that he would be willing to help skaters who are in need of items. The Committee wanted to use Bike-A-Thon proceeds to purchase pads, helmets, skate boards, etc. A locker could be purchased to put the items in. It was suggested that YAC might want to donate shoes for skaters. Christmas Event The event will start at 4:30 at the library with a craft. Trailers will then be available around 5:30 and will provide a hay ride to the park for the tree lighting at 5:45. The events will occur closer together this year, as people sometimes leave early, especially if the weather does not cooperate. Committee Member Sullivan will provide music. A photo op could be created for the kiosk in the park. It might say “New Meadows.” Decorating Date A decorating date was set for Saturday, November 22nd at 11am. A flyer will be created for this event. Future Meeting Topics Christmas event, bench donation, and bike-a-thon follow-up. Action Items Members reviewed October 6, 2025 meeting minutes and found no changes. AM  CITY OF NEW MEADOWS PARKS AND RECREATION MEETING MINUTES HELD MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2025 AT 6:00 P.M.
