Minutes of the Parks and

Commissioner Stratton said that she had no problem
with Council being given those two names as choices
but felt that they should be informed of the fact
that the residents in the area had preferred
"Virginia Colony Park ".
Commissioner Butler also felt that the Council
should be made aware of the name preference of the
residents of that area.
Commissioner Thompson thanked the residents of the
Virginia Colony area for their valuable input.
Commissioner Stratton also thanked the area
residents for taking the time to come down to a
Commission meeting to give them the input they
needed.

recommendation to send the recommendation to Council.

D. Wood Treatment of Playground Eguipment Report for
North Meadows. Campus and Glenwood Parks. Staff
Recommendation: Receive and file the report.
Director Adams informed the Commission, for a point
of clarification, that the staff report has
contained a typographical error. The stated $822
price of a wood treatment product should have been
$22.
Commissioner Judd felt that a wood treatment
product should be used if the equipment could not
be replaced.
Commissioner Hall stated that this was in keeping
with what the North Meadows Park sub - committee had
in mind to refurbish the equipment. He also felt
that this should be deferred to the April meeting.
Commissioner Judd felt that parents, boy scouts,
girl scouts and the community could assist with
this project to help keep costs down, perhaps
making it a community type project.
Commissioner Butler felt that Commissioner Judd' s
idea was excellent but felt it could be expanded to
include civic minded groups and maybe an "adopt a
park" program similar to freeway cleaning projects
could be instituted.

interest in the arts. She feels that art•been lost
over the years especially with the school budget

that other communities that promote art are very
successful, such as Santa Barbara's weekend
displays on the beach. He also suggested High
