TO: The Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Donald P. Reynolds Jr. , Management Analyst P1--
DATE: April 9, 1992
SUBJECT: Consider Dedication of Community Center Tot Lot
The following report explains that the Council is responsible for
the dedication of city parks when completed, and recommends that
the Commission request the Council to consider this dedication at
its next meeting.
•
Discussion
The Commission requested that consideration of the dedication for
this tot lot be scheduled for the next agenda, so that arrangements
could be made to schedule this dedication during the Cinco De Mayo
event, scheduled to occur on Saturday, May 2, 1992.
In discussing this matter with other City staff members, it was
concluded that; A) the Council performs this duty, and that B) it
may be too late to consider such arrangements. Typically, when a
park is completed, or any City project, the Council is in charge of
dedicating the improvement. This has been the City's practice
since incorporation. Dedication usually occurs as soon after the
completion of a project as possible, and the tot lot improvements
are now almost one year old.
There is no doubt that this is one of the City's most active play
areas in the park system. Children and parents both enjoy this
facility, and its accomplishment is worthy of recognition. This
perception of the completion of the project is part of the reason
why the Commission has expressed that the recognition is needed,
even though time has passed quickly.
An information item can be passed to the Council prior to the
Council meeting of April 15, 1992, which expresses the Commission's
concerns and request to dedicate the tot lot. In this way, if a
Councilmember wishes to discuss the matter during Council Comments,
the item can be reviewed and the request be considered.
Recommendation
That the Commission request from the Council that the Community
Center Tot Lot be dedicated by the Council on Saturday, May 2,
1992.
