ITEM 3' OLD BUSINESS Discussion-- Section 36/Public Purpose Parcels Director Frates referred to the Kim Howard memorandum which was included in the packet. He noted, the Commission was being requested to make a recommendation of whether parcels listened were needed for public purpose or should be sold.

Discussion-- Section 3'6/Sport Fields A general discussion with representatives from soccer organizations, i.e. Kenai Peninsula Soccer Club and Boys & Girls Club, occurred, along with input from Roy Wells (Kenai Economic Development Strategy Committee) and a Kenai resident. A variety of discussions unfolded related to funding, site design, community involvement, and need for fields. It was a general consensus a combination of grass- roots effort and grants would be the best approach and the project be broken into manageable phases, beginning with at least a few fields. Frates indicated administration had been discussing the project with a local civil engineer for cost estimates. It was also noted, because a portion of the property was once a landfill, it would dictate at least some design elements. Roy Wellm, Lawtom Drive, Kenai -- Suggested the project is exactly the type that could be included into the KEDDS Quality of Life section of the Kenai Economic Development Plan. Mary Daley, Kenai Peninsula Soccer Club -- Noted Fairbanks often attracts approximately 2,000 soccer players for their annual tournament. The Commission recommended: · Develop a draft "Statement of Need" program description (community need, history, action taken, etc.) for December review. · Frates finalize design of soccer fields through working with soccer repreSentatives (by early January). · Continue grant research and invite soccer representatives to meetings for updates. ITEM 4: NEW BUSINESS Discussion-- Multipurpose Facility Helmet Policy Frates gave a brief explanation of why the helmet policy was brought to the Commission and referred to the memorandum included in the packet. Commissioner Castimore reflected on the original intent of the facility as being a fun, enjoyable and easily accessible facility for children. Castimore stated, he was of the opinion a helmet policy as not sensible given the 24-hour use of the facility and enforcement issues that go along with it. Commissioner Wemer-Quade agreed. MOTION: Commissioner Sandahl MOVED the multipurpose facility helmet policy as presented in the packet, be adopted. Commissioner Wemer-Quade SECONDED the motion.
