OKAY, GREAT THANK YOU. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYTHING FROM PLANNING OR PARKS AND RECS THAT THEY WANTED TO RELATE? NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE, NO. OKAY. NOW WE'LL MOVE TO COMMISSIONER MEMBER ITEMS AND FUTURE COMMISSION AGENDA TOPICS.
[N. COMMISSION MEMBER ITEMS AND FUTURE COMMISSION AGENDA TOPICS]
I'LL START WITH YOU, COMMISSIONER MCCAULEY YOU WERE DOWN THERE BY YOURSELF OVER THERE.YEAH, I HAVE A QUESTION, I GUESS, FOR STAFF FOR AN UPCOMING MEETING OR AN UPDATE FOR THE, WHILE BACK WE TALKED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF THE CITY AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAVING A LEASE WITH SOME OF THE PARK SPACE, AND. I'M SORRY, CAN YOU JUST. YOU'RE THE CITY AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT? YEAH, FOR SCHOOL DISTRICT PROPERTY THAT IS BOTH PARK, BUT SCHOOL DISTRICT PROPERTY.
FOR EXAMPLE, ALTA VISTA PARK AND THERE'S OTHER LOCATIONS AS WELL, BUT DON'T COME TO MIND.
BUT THERE WAS A DISCUSSION A WHILE BACK ABOUT THE DISTRICT AND THE CITY ENGAGING IN DIALOG FOR POTENTIALLY THE CITY GETTING A LEASE FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR SOME OF THOSE SPACES.
AND I WAS WONDERING IF WE CAN GET AN UPDATE IF HAS THERE BEEN ANY PROGRESS ON THAT TOPIC? I WILL CONVEY THAT TO STAFF. THANK YOU, THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER LANG ANYTHING? YES, I HAVE TWO THINGS.
ONE OF THEM IS A QUESTION ABOUT ALTA VISTA, AND SO THIS IS ALSO KIND OF A I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A SCHOOL DISTRICT QUESTION, IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE ANSWERED BY PUBLIC WORKS OR PARKS, BUT SUNSET LITTLE LEAGUE USES THE FIELDS ON THE DISTRICT SIDE OF ALTA VISTA, LIKE THE EAST SIDE.
[00:05:02]
AND I WAS RECENTLY TALKING TO THEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ADEQUATE LIGHTING AT NIGHT.AND RIGHT NOW THEY'RE USING THESE DIESEL POWERED LIGHTING GENERATORS.
AND THEY'RE COSTING QUITE A BIT OF MONEY. AND SO THEY SAID THAT THEY'VE BEEN NEEDING ADEQUATE LIGHTS LIKE PERMANENT LIGHTS PERHAPS FOR SOME TIME. AND I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD BRING IT UP.
AND I DO WONDER WHERE THAT ISSUE STANDS, BECAUSE I DO BELIEVE THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS AWARE OF IT, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE CITY NEEDS TO STEP IN.
I'M JUST LOOKING FOR A LITTLE BIT OF CLARITY ON BECAUSE.
OKAY. YEAH, AND THEN MY OTHER QUESTION OR I WAS HOPING FOR AN UPDATE ON WE HAD THAT LONG SORT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT GETTING SOME CLARITY FROM PLANNING ON YOU KNOW, WHAT OUR JOB REALLY IS AND WHAT OUR PURVIEW IS AND I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF YOU HAD HAD A CHANCE TO TALK TO PLANNING AND IF SO, IF THEY WERE GOING TO PLAN ON COMING OR? ABSOLUTELY, IN FACT THEY POSTPONED HAD TO DUE TO TIMING AND OTHER I MEAN, I KNOW THEY HAVE A LOT ON THEIR PLATE, BUT THEY WERE INTENDING TO COME TONIGHT. SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED FOR THE NEXT AGENDA.
AND THAT WILL PROVIDE SOME GUIDANCE AND SOME INSIGHT INTO THE COMMISSION'S ROLE.
AND THEY'LL BE ABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND I'M SURE IT WILL BE AN ONGOING DIALOG.
AND THERE'LL BE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS AND THEN, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO CREATE A CHANNEL IN CASE YOU HAVE FURTHER QUESTIONS MOVING FORWARD. SO THE SHORT ANSWER IS IT'S COMING BACK NEXT MONTH IS MY UNDERSTANDING.
OKAY AND I JUST ONE MORE QUESTION ABOUT THAT, SO IS IT GOING TO BE ON THE AGENDA SO WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO ASK QUESTIONS? I KNOW SOMETIMES. ABSOLUTELY. YEAH OKAY. SO IT'LL BE I'D HAVE TO TALK TO PLANNING BECAUSE IT'S THEIR ITEM, BUT I WOULDN'T. THE INTENT, I BELIEVE, IS TO BE A DISCUSSION ITEM SO THAT THE PRESENTATION COMPONENT OF IT AND THEN THEY'LL OPEN UP FOR QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION. OKAY, GREAT THANK YOU.
IS THAT ALL? YES. OKAY COMMISSIONER CALDWELL.
I'VE NONE. OKAY I HAVE UNFORTUNATELY, FIVE THINGS.
OKAY. DO YOU KNOW IF THERE'S AN UPDATE COMING FROM ANYBODY ON THAT? DOES IT COME UP IN YOUR DISCUSSIONS? BECAUSE HE'S ASKING ME AND IT'S LIKE, WELL, YOU NEED TO TALK TO THE STAFF AND.
RIGHT. WELL, I CAN CONVEY THAT BACK TO STAFF AND SEE, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR THEM.
I DON'T HAVE ANY UPDATES TONIGHT FOR IT. OKAY.
THE OTHER IS I CAN TALK TO YOU MORE OFFLINE, BUT LAST JANUARY, WE DID A CHARTER DAY DISPLAY, AND I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO START PUTTING TOGETHER A MORE PROFESSIONAL LOOKING DISPLAY.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT AND GETTING THAT GOING.
HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT FEEDBACK FROM THIS COMMISSION ABOUT THE MERGER AND THE STRENGTHS AND THE WEAKNESSES TO TAKE BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL OR THE CITY STAFF TO EVALUATE? WE YOU KNOW, WE HAVEN'T, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FORMAL OR INFORMAL FEEDBACK FROM COMMISSION REGARDING THAT.
I THINK ANY TYPE OF MERGER WOULD HAVE ITS CHALLENGES.
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE MAY WANT TO LOOK AT LIKE A COUPLE MONTHS FROM NOW AS PART OF AN AGENDA ITEM TO JUST COLLECTIVELY GIVE SOME THOUGHTS THAT WE CAN SEND BACK FEEDBACK TO THE CITY? I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA SO WE CAN AGENDIZE THAT.
SO IT WOULD BE WE CAN TALK AGAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HOW WE WANT TO VERBALIZE THE AGENDA TITLE, BUT DISCUSS POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE FORMATION.
OKAY. AND EFFECT. YEAH. ROLE OF THE PUBLIC AMENITIES COMMISSION.
OKAY. AND THEN A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, THERE WAS A BLUE FOLDER ITEM THAT WAS QUESTIONS FROM ONE OF THE PEOPLE RELATED TO THE PRESERVATION, AND SHE RAISED SOME INTERESTING QUESTIONS IN IT.
DO YOU KNOW IF THAT'S EVER BEEN ADDRESSED FULLY? SO I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE DEPARTMENT, BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT INFORMATION WAS CONVEYED TO THE COMMISSION, IT WAS UNDER PUBLIC COMMENT, AND THAT PUBLIC COMMENT WAS DIRECTED TO STAFF FOR POTENTIAL FOLLOW UP.
[00:10:04]
I DON'T KNOW THE STATUS OF THAT, BUT FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, AS FAR AS IT BEING A PUBLIC COMMENT, DOES NOT NECESSITATE ANY PARTICULAR ACTION.OKAY. AND THEN, WELL, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS INTERESTING IN THERE, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE REST OF THE COMMISSIONERS KNOW, BUT IF YOU REMEMBER ANDREW, WHO IS DOING THE PRESENTATION, HE'S NO LONGER WITH THE CITY.
SO WE'VE GONE THROUGH SEVERAL PEOPLE AT THIS POINT, AND IT DOESN'T, IT DIDN'T SOUND LIKE THEY HAD A PRESERVATION SPECIALIST AROUND ANYMORE, BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THE COMMISSIONERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF.
OKAY, AND THEN MY LAST THING DEALS WITH LAST NIGHT'S CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
THEY ADJOURNED IN MEMORY OF JOE DAWIDZIAK, WHO WAS A CITY COUNCIL PERSON, WAS PART OF THE CHARTER REVIEW, WAS A DECORATED MARINE. AND I WANTED TO AGENDIZE THE DISCUSSION ABOUT POSSIBLY MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL, DEPENDING ON HOW THIS GROUP FEELS ABOUT IT, TO RENAME ONE OF THE TWO [INAUDIBLE] PARKETTES THAT WE HAVE. WE HAVE TWO OF THEM AND IT WAS GENERAL.
MR. DAWIDZIAK WAS ACTUALLY A SERGEANT MAJOR, WHICH IS LIKE PROBABLY ONE OF THE HIGHEST POSITIONS AS AN ENLISTED PERSON TO RENAME THAT PARK THE JOE DAWIDZIAK PARKETTE.
SO I'M HOPING THAT WE CAN AGENDIZE THAT FOR A FUTURE MEETING TO RENAME ONE OF THE PARKETTES AS THE JOE DAWIDZIAK PARKETTE. SO I'M HOPING THAT I CAN GET A SECOND ON THAT MOTION TO JUST AGENDIZE IT.
YEAH, I'LL SECOND THAT. OKAY, ALL THOSE. ANY DISCUSSION? NO. OKAY. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OKAY SO IF WE CAN JUST GET IT ON THE AGENDA, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET A LOT OF INFORMATION AT SOME POINT THAT WILL HELP OUT THAT RECOMMENDATION. I'VE ACTUALLY PROPOSED IT TO THE CITY COUNCILMAN WHERE THE PARKETTES ARE, AND ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO WAS ON THE COUNCIL WITH MR. DAWIDZIAK. SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL COME ALONG THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
SO THE NEXT PART IS ADJOURNMENT. CAN I ASK ONE MORE QUESTION? SURE. SO JUST TO CLARIFY, BECAUSE YOU SAID YOU'RE WELCOME TO ASK STAFF.
IS SEAN SCULLY, IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT PRESERVATION OR THAT PROCESS OR FOLLOW UP.
IS SEAN SCULLY THE PERSON, THE STAFF MEMBER WE WOULD? I WOULD START WITH SEAN AND THEN HE COULD BEST DIRECT YOUR QUESTION.
SO, YOU KNOW, IN REGARDS TO YOU KNOW, I'LL USE THE LIBRARY AS AN EXAMPLE SINCE IT'S THE LIBRARY.
SO IF ANYBODY HAS A QUESTION REGARDING THE LIBRARY, I'M HOPEFUL I CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, BUT IF I CAN, I'LL DIRECT YOU TO STAFF THAT CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.
AND THEN IF FOR IN THE FUTURE I'M DOING A PRESENTATION A LIBRARY MIGHT INCORPORATE YOUR QUESTION IN THAT PRESENTATION, BECAUSE IT WOULD PROBABLY BE SOMETHING THAT'S ON OTHER PEOPLE'S MINDS AS WELL. SO THAT, YOU'RE CERTAINLY FREE AND WELCOME TO REACH OUT TO SEAN.
OKAY. YEAH BECAUSE KELLY'S OUR, SHE WAS OUR STAFF LIAISON FOR R EC AND PARK.
SCULLY WOULD BE THE BEST POINT OF CONTACT. AND THEN I THINK HE CAN DIRECT IT IF HE DOESN'T.
I KNOW YOU WEREN'T AT THE LAST MEETING, BUT THERE WAS A DISCUSSION.
I WASN'T AT THE MEETING EITHER, BUT IT'S ON THE RECORDING.
YEAH I MEAN, AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR THEM, BUT I THINK THAT THEY'LL ACCEPT QUESTIONS YOU KNOW, FOR AS LONG AS YOU'RE ON COMMISSION. I THINK THE IDEA WAS TO KIND OF DISTILL MANY OF THEM TO TRY TO INCORPORATE THEM INTO THE PRESENTATION.
BUT IN ALL HONESTY, I'M SURE THERE'LL BE QUESTIONS AFTER THE PRESENTATION THEY'LL BE YOU KNOW, SO AND THAT GOES FOR ALL OF OUR DEPARTMENTS. SO THEY'LL BE UPCOMING, YOU KNOW CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE CAN'T FORESEE BUT I THINK THEY'LL DO THEIR BEST TO ENCAPSULATE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE AND GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW AND BE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.
