The Commission spoke briefly regarding the benefits of having the Club take over the program and all commissioners agreed the Club provides excellent services. Additional conversation focused on the financial aspects of the program; the City of Kenai would provide $22,000 to the B&GCKP operating budget as the City of Kenai (as well as most other communities) and the Club operate on a partnership -like basis.

Discussion -- Skateboard Park Review The Commission discussed the idea of moving the skateboard park from its current location at the Kenai Recreation Center to an area near the Challenger Learning Center as many skateboarders are congregating in this area. A move to this area would be beneficial for the following reasons: • Frates stated 207 skateboard park participants signed up last year. This large number of participants was somewhat difficult to manage at the recreation center location. PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MAY 212002 PAGE 2 • If moved, liability could be reduced as there would be little to no monitoring of the skating area, thus eliminating any expectation of supervision. Frates also stated warning signs would be placed in the area. • If moved, the gate would not be necessary and would leave the area open 24 hours a day. • Councilman Moore spoke briefly on the subject and stated moving the park would be logical as there are restroom and parking facilities as well as this being a very popular area with the skateboard park users. Additionally, vandalism has not been a big issue with the multi -purpose facility, which is also open 24-hours a day and is not monitored. • For enforcement of undesirable or illegal activities, Frates stated he would notify the Kenai Police Department of the relocation of the park and would request the area to be added to their patrol route. Frates also stated the majority of the park participants are mindful and respectful of the property and rules. MOTION - Commissioner Sandahl MOVED to recommend the relocation of the skate park to the Multi -Purpose Center/Challenger Center area. Commissioner Gifford SECONDED the motion. VOTE: Baxter Yes Wisniewski Yes Steiner Absent Sandahl Yes Gifford Yes Castimore Yes Hultberg Absent MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. TTRM 7! REPORTS 7-a. Commission Chair -- Chair Wisniewski reported on the following: • The Bernie Huss Park hydro -axing project looks good. Wisniewski inquired as to the likelihood of dredging taking place in the pond -like area. Frates stated because this area is technically wetlands, the permitting process is cumbersome. When further information is known Frates will inform the Commission. 7-b. Director -- Parks and Recreation Director Frates reported on the following: • The summer help has been hired. • The hockey clinic is scheduled to begin June 6, 20020 • Cherie Brewer, Kenai Chamber Board President, contacted the city to request the purchase of seven to ten banners that will state, "Get hooked on Kenai."
