contract the operation of the City of Kenai's summer recreation program. 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.

ITEM 6:
l~W BUSINESS
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 2, 2002
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.

ITEM 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, 2002.
· 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."
