Commissioner Roe was the only member not in attendance. MINUTES The minutes of the November 15, meeting were held over for reading at the next regular meeting so the Commission could move on to the other business. REPORTS A. Treasurer - $868.50 was turned over to the County. 45.00 was paid directly to the County, and is not reflected on out records. Rotary Club was short on its October payment, and made no payment for November. P.S. for Kids check amounting to $669.00 has bounced, plus they still owe for four days in November. John will contact them before the check is turned over to the County for action. This is the third check that bounced from their account. B. Transfer of Parks - The County is preparing the deeds which will be sent to.the City. The City will decide which parks will be transferred. Parks will remain in County until June 1984. Community Center - The deed is currently being drawn up and will probAbly be transferred prior to the new construction by the City. It's important for the transfer to take place prior to construction since the City will then be able to acquire quotes at less cost than the County, and with less red tape. The City will be constructing a building equal to the amount of space they are presently occupying. The Library property line will be defined and not be made a part of the Community Center. Complete transfer should occur ,,around February, 1984. Quimby Trust Funds - Curren Cummings stated that an itemized list of expenses has been turned over to the City. This list includes all parks with expenses broken down for each one. Curren reported that this was the first year in which Quimby funds were used for the operation of the Community Center. Funds were used for: Community Center $12,000 Rotary Youth Recreation Program .5,000 Griffin Park Maintenance 15,000 (estimate) Campus Park maintenance 93,723 Not reflected in the Quimby fund is a special Country Side fund worth $57,000. Transfer of these funds will take place soon and will not be shorted the amount P.A.A. wanted for the development of Happy Camp. The John Boething trust Fund is also not reflected in the Quimby, this fund connot be co- mingled and will amount to $25,500 by 1987 when the contract expires. OLD BUSINESS A. work program - not discussed B. Rules and Regulations - Irene Barrera moved and Margaret Sabine. seconded that the rules and regulations be approved as presented. Motion carried unanimously. NEW BUSINESS Happy Camp Canyon Regional Park - Demitri Hunt from County planning presented maps and a report to the commission on this site. The report is currently being reviewed by the Task Force, the Fish and Game Dept, and others prior to finalizing. The report will then go to the Board of Supervisors. The Commission expressed a concern for the protection of the Chumash sites. These sites are historically valuable and should be protected from public abuse. Demitri requested that the Commission put all its concerns in writing and relay them to Irene for the Task Force meeting on the 15th of December. He will sent the E.I.R. to the Commission. DISCUSSION Community Center Operations - A letter form John addressing the reservation clerk issue was sent by the commission. This letter informs P.A.A. that as of January 15th the Commissioner in charge of the Community Center willno longer be performing this function. The need for a clerk was discussed and Andy was in agreement with the idea of the City hiring a clerk out of Quimby Funds. Danny and Irene will meet with Niall to discuss job discription and /or responsibilities of the reser- vation clerk. The maintenance of the Community Center was discussed. The group of young law offenders have done an excellent job of cleaning the facility, however, the custodian is not working out as well as expected. If he continues to not meet the requirements, Andy will consider other action. Expansion - Albert Prieto presented Blue Prints to the commission. The only issue was access to restrooms. In order to make ultimate use of the center and consequently-raise enough money, double renting will be necessary. This necessitates the addition of large restrooms accessible from the new addition. This- will allow us to double rent without any interference between renters using the facility at the same time. The blue print calls for no access to the restrooms from the new addition. Therenters must interrupt other activities in order to go to -2- the present restrooms. It was moved by Commissioner Barrera and seconded by Commissioner Rasey that the proposed restrooms be accessable from the Community Center addition and enlarged to accommodate at least two persons, with one stall available to the handicapped. Which motion passed unanimously. Dais - The City is contemplating the permanent placement of a Dias on the stage area in the multi - purpose room. The placement of this would limit the use of the room which already is often filled beyond capacity. We sometimes have users renting the large room and the multi - purpose room because it is small. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 10:30 P.M. APPROVED: Chairman Respectfully submitted Secretary
