March 20, 1984
The regular meeting (study session) of the Recreation and Parks Commission
was called to order at 7:10 p.m. by Vice Chair Margaret Sabine.
All members including the new appointee, Tom Baldwin, were present. Also
in attendance was Councilmember Al Prieto.
The minutes for March 1, and March 6, 1984 were approved.
Item 3 PRESENTATIONS
A. Swapping Park Lands - Commissioner Rasey
The Edison Company said they would lease their land to the City
at no charge for up to five years. We could also acquire the flood control
land to give us a larger park in the Buttercreek site.
Item 4A Park Naming Policy - It was suggested that parks not be named
after living persons or developers. We might name a park after a person
if that person is remembered after being dead five years. Opening the
naming up to the community was also suggested. It was the consensus of
opinion that the commission didn't want to set guidelines in concrete, but
will decide on the park name and submit the name to the City Council for
approval.
Marlborough Park Name - Suggested names were discussed and it was the
consensus of opinion that the park name would be Monte Vista Nature Park.
Commissioner Rasey informed the Commission that the Marlborough Homeowners
Association is not properly maintaining their site which adjoins our Park
site.
Item 4B Commission Bylaws - The City has adopted the County by -laws for
this Commission until we formulate our own according to Commissioner Sabine.
A copy of this approval has never been received by this Commission.
The City Council has, however, adopted Ordinance No. 2.06 pertaining to
parks. The Commission requested a copy for the next meeting.
Each Commissioner is to study the by -laws and be prepared to submit a list
of what they believe their responsibilities, functions and duties are.
These are to be included in our by -laws and the entire package submitted
to the City Council for approval.
Item 5 - COMMISSION COMMENTS
A copy of the Park Transfer Package was submitted by Commissioner Rasey.
Several questions were raised.
1. Why is the County keeping maintenance funds? Are they going to
provide maintenance service for the rest of the year?
2. Is someone comparing parcels to maps, etc?
3. Is the transfer of Park property to the library in compliance
with State and federal funding?
-1-
4. Does an Easement still exist to the back of the property?
5. Some Commissioners were concerned with the wording stating that
the Center was to be "Continuously and exclusively" used as a
Community Center or revert to the County. Are we already in
Violation by permitting City to use it as City Hall? Were we
in violation by letting a business such as P.S. for Kids rent it?
Councilmember Al Prieto is to request Legal Council to review the package.
These concerns must go to the City along with the packet. Included will
be the concerns addressed in the March 6, minutes.
