PRESENTATIONS 6A. Status of PC -3 "Mountain Meadows" This item was conducted by Niall Fritz, Director of Community Development. Ms. Jean Albee was present representing the position of the School District. It has been suggested that the elementary school and the North Village park site be exchanged. Ms. Albee presented a map of the two sites and the School Districts' solution of moving the parking lot to the side of the school which adjoins the park, thereby eliminating the need for the buses to traverse the short cul -de -sac to the North of the school site, and allowing the parking lot to be shared with the park. Access to the Community park was to be by way of a road provided by the High School, adjacent to the park. The School District now says the road does not fit in with their plans and they do not want it. Mr. Fritz suggested the access to this park be from the collector road south of the park. Mr. Fritz also suggested that the park have a parking lot, the size of which will be discussed at a later date. Urban West Communities contends that with the Private Golf Course there will be no need of public parks. The Commission feels that the adult area will be people in the age group to have grandchildren visit them and they will need some place for the children to play. Mr. Fritz stated that the recommendation will go to the Planning Commission that the parks be active as well as passive. Chairman Rasey questioned the stabilization of the hill adjoining the Community park, Mr. Fritz stated that stabilization was a factor in the original permit, and the houses were set back to take care of the problem. Chairman Rasey stated that he and another Commissioner were at the park after the rains and there were ruts or= quite evident in the side of the hill that were not there before the rains. Mr. Fritz said he would have the City Engineer look into it. Chairman Rasey also questioned the improvement of the Arroyo sides by the park, what are the requirements for developers to have to make the improvements? Mr. Fritz was not positive as to the actual requirements in a situation like the one with the park being between the homes and the arroyo. Mr. Fritz recommended to the Commission that they consider a landscaping district be formed to take care of the maintenance to the West Village and linear parks. Once the park maintenance is turned over to the Citywide Assesment district, the extra maintenance should remain with the homeowners of Mountain Meadows. The Commission asked how long they have to make decisions on the different items of this development. Mr. Fritz stated that it would not be going to the Planning Commission until after the January 22, meeting so there would be at least another two weeks. This item is to be placed on the next agenda of the Parks and Recreation Commission. Mr. Fritz said he would check the Tot Lot requirements, to see how many people make a tot lot a requirement. 6B. Neighborhood Councils - Mr. William Raney was present to request the use of the Community Center for the following dates; January 10, 24, and 31 February 7 and 21 The first meeting would be for the general public, to inform them as to the purpose of forming the neighborhood councils, the other meetings would be held for specific areas. Mr. Haney is asking the Commission to allow the Community service group rate for these meetings. It was moved by Commissioner Wormsbecher that the Commission grant the use of the center on the dates (subject to availability) requested, at the reduced rate, which motion was seconded by Commissioner Deas and passed by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners Wormsbecher, Deas, Roe, Sabine and Chairman Rasey; NOES: None; ABSENT: None.

Report on Tree Lighting - Commissioner Deas presented the Commissioners with a report on the costs and the events at the Tree lighting ceremony. After everything was paid, there is a balance remaining of $104.27. It was moved by Commissioner Roe, seconded by Commissioner Wormsbecher and unanimously agreed that the Commission recommend to City Council that the $104.27 be earmarked for next years tree lighting, since it was raised by public donation for that purpose. 8B. Report on December 28th dance - a written report was presented to the Commission showing that the December 28, dance had a net loss of $95.84. Commissioner Deas recommended that only the refreshment window be decorated from now on. Tom Coyle reported to the Commission that a new D.J. has been found for the next dance. He ususally charges $150. but has agreed to do the January 18, dance for $75. as a trial. The February dance is to be a High School dance and preparations have to be made now as the tickets must be pre -sold. 8C. Campus Park Fencing Filing Notice of Completion - Tom Coyle reported that he checked the job and found four areas that needed work, the company has done that work. Chairman Rasey stated that he also checked the fence and the wrought iron up- rights need to be reinforced. 8D. Recreation Programs - Tom Coyle presented the Commission with copies of the flyer he had printed to hand out at the schools and businesses in town. So far about a dozen responses have been received from the newspaper articles. Chairman Rasey pointed out that the costs for the SECO Striders were wrong. Tom was sure he had called the change in to the printer, but in case there are calls about it, the staff should be aware of the correct prices. Tom is checking with other Cities re their printed materials and will also ask about the participation in the various classes. Commissioner Deas stated that she had contacted a few Cities herself, and will be receiving material from them. -4- 8E. Ticor Title - Ticor Title sent a letter to the Commission submitting three options for the monument they want to place in memory of Paul E. Griffin Sr. It was decided by the Commission at the previous meeting that they were not in favor of any further monument since the park is already named in memory of Mr. Griffin. It was suggested that Ticor Title donate equipment in lieu of the monument. It was moved by Commissioner Rasey, seconded by Commissioner Roe and unanimously agreed that the Commission not accept the latest proposals of Ticor Title, and that the action of the December 17, meeting be reaffirmed. 8F. Bollards for Community Center - It was the general consensus of the Commission that the Bollards were not wanted. They would be broken the first time someone drove over the lock, and they would not serve the intended purpose. Commissioner Sabine mentioned that what is really needed at the Community Center are handrails down the steps. 8G. Information Items 1. List of City Parks (updated)- Tom Coyle presented the Commission with an updated list of the parks and their acreage. 2. Weight Watchers - has decided not to hold a class here because there is no storage for their scale and file cabinet.

Also to contact Weight Watchers and see what their proposal would be for using the Multi - purpose room with storage. 9. COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION 9A. Commissioner Deas asked that she be supplied with a job description for a commissioner, the proceedures for operating the Community Center, and any printed information re commissions. 9B. Commissioner Wormsbecher asked about the progress of the swapping of land with Boething, and about acquiring the Edison Easements. These things need to be done or it will not be possible. 9C. Vice -Chair Sabine - inquired if Mr. McGillis requested anything be done by the Commission in regards to his letter. Tom said no, he was just reporting as to the status of the trash issue near Buttercreek Park. -5- 9D. Chairman Rasey stated that he would have to defer to staff on the Community Center modification issue, as he had heard from Councilmembers that the modification may be used for City offices instead of a Senior Center. Tom stated that he would not be able to tell the Commission anything until further information becomes available. 10.
