Werner-Quade Council Member Rick Ross and Parks & Recreation Director Bob Frates ITEM 2' AGENDA APPROVAL There were no changes and the agenda was approved as presented. ITEM 3' APPROVAL OF MEETING SUMMARY -- July 1, 2004 Commissioner Baxter suggested a clarification be made relating to the July 1 meeting summary, i.e. the East End Trail expansion is through the wetlands and the disk golf project is to be placed in the established East End Trail area. The meeting summary was approved as presented. ITEM 4: PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD -- None. ITEM 5: OLD BUSINESS Discussion-- Boys & Girls Club Presentation Frates referred the Recreation Center User Statistics which were included in the packet and asked for questions. Commissioner Baxter inquired about user numbers and the methodology by which patrons are counted and how that compares to previous years. Frates reported he though the methodology was probably similar to the method currently being used. Frates stated the number always seem to fluctuate from year to year, but felt overall, user numbers are comparable to prior years. a-b, Discussion -- Flea Market Frates explained he was not necessarily sure why the response was low related to the flea market proposals, considering some interest was perpetuated from the front page newspaper coverage. Discussion followed as to why there was a low response and ways to attract more interest, possibly by changing some of the written language. Frates stated, some comments he received were the lack of highway frontage and the fact groups have limited resources. Commission members felt those were minor reasons. Council Member Ross suggested lessening of restrictions and soliciting the proposals during the winter may assist in attracting interest. MOTION: Commissioner Sandahl MOVED to request administration to bring back a revised proposal in September for a recommended October advertising. Commissioner Castimore SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM 6' NEW BUSINESS Discussion-- Project Status Report Frates referred to the Project Status Report included in the packet and updated the Commission of activities related to Municipal Park and Section 36 projects, along with two grant opportunities, including LWCF and Alaska Recreation Trails grants. Commission comments included: · Castimore suggested one-hour parking along South Forest Drive during dip net season due to parking congestion. · Hultberg stated he felt Municipal Park is a disgrace and there are beetle kill trees that could be removed along with brush clearing. He asked why more care couldn't be taken with tree removal, clearing and picnic tables. Sandahl suggested the Section 36 development be the Commission's first priority as he felt grants should be pursued for both the Section 36 project and Municipal Park maintenance. Council Member Ross suggested the Commission work with the user groups, along with scheduling a work session with council to discuss both issues. Sandahl restated his desire the Section 36 project be a first priority and Municipal Park the second, but seek funding for both projects. He noted, this information should be relayed to council as well. Ross suggested the Commission meet with the user groups on an individual basis to seek specific information related to design, use, and resources. MOTION: Commissioner Sandahl MOVED to recommend Section 36 be the Commission's first priority and Municipal Park the second, but that grants be actively pursued for both areas and the Commission meet with individual user groups beginning in September. Commissioner Baxter SECONDED the motion.
