ITEM 3:
OLD BUSINESS
Discussion -- Summer Flea Market/Multipurpose Facility
Director Frates explained the original Request for Proposal (RFP) received no response
and the RFP was revised by administration to add more flexibility and a copy was
included in the packet for the Commission to review.
A general discussion took place regarding flea markets versus Saturday markets,
timing, length of season remaining, and the need for coordination if two or more
entities were awarded the proposal.
The Commission consensus was to support the draft proposal and to move forward
with advertising the RFP.
ITEM 4:
NEW BUSINESS
Discussion -- Frisby Golf/East End Trail Proposed Extension
Ross Baxter -- Baxter updated the Commission on his attempt to start a Frisbee Golf
Course at East End Trails and noted the following:
· He spoke to many folks and gave a presentation at Skyview High School.
· He has three baskets sponsored.
· He will continue seeking sponsors for other baskets if he receives a 'go
ahead' from the city with the understanding he may need to request help from the city
to purchase any remaining baskets.
· Sherman Signs, Fireweed Fence, and the Alaska Frisbee Golf Association
will assist, as well as others in the community.
· After review of the area, it was determined the East End Trail proposed
expansion would not be conducive to Frisbee Golf and adjacent property owners be
contacted prior to any further work toward a trail expansion idea.
Castimore indicated he had walked a portion of the proposed expansion and noted a lot
of brush and a significant drop in the terrain which concerned him. The Commission's
comments were generally favorable toward pursuing the Frisbee Golf concept and
recommended details be worked out with respect to ownership of the baskets,
maintenance responsibilities between the Club and the city.
MOTION:
Commissioner Baxter MOVED for the Commission to recommend administration go
forward and for the Directo meet with the City Manager and City Attorney to work out
details. Commissioner Mills SECONDED the motion.
