Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes July 26, 2022 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br /> <br />A motion was made by Committee Member Beggin and seconded by Committee Member <br />Dietz to approve the proposed habitat restoration projects put forth by Committee Member <br />Seemann and to bring it forward to the City Council. <br /> <br />Chair Hinton mentioned that she sent a pollinator policy put together by Committee Member <br />Seemann to the committee members and recommended they discuss it at the next meeting. <br /> <br />Committee Member Kelliher felt there would be monitoring on the City’s part and he wondered <br />if these items on the policy were things that could easily be incorporated into staff’s workload. <br /> <br />Staff Liaison Vaughan said there are challenges because there isn’t a separate parks department <br />with time dedicated to parks, or during a year with fewer seasonal employees. <br /> <br />Committee Member Kelliher commented that if there aren’t resources to do some of the things <br />on the policy, he felt they would be ill advised move forward with it. <br /> <br />Chair Hinton said Council would have to look at it at a work session to see if they felt it was <br />feasible. The committee will discuss at next month’s meeting. <br /> <br />B. Park Survey <br /> <br />Chair Hinton said in May they talked about a park survey that would be available via a QR code <br />in the parks. She asked for questions the committee would like to see asked. <br /> <br />Committee Member Poelzer suggested how often they use the park and would they recommend <br />the park to others. They might want to ask the number of people with them. <br /> <br />Committee Member Anderson proposed what do you like about the park and what could be <br />improved in the park. <br /> <br />Committee Member Beggin thought it might be important to ask the ages of the people visiting <br />the park. He also thought they could add a scale of 1-5 to some of the questions. <br /> <br />Staff Liaison Vaughan said the Council would probably want to see the questions before the <br />survey goes live. <br /> <br />Chair Hinton added that if they were going to use a single QR code they would need to ask what <br />park they were at. <br /> <br />Committee Member Anderson was concerned that only using a QR code may exclude some <br />people from completing the survey. <br /> <br />Staff Liaison Vaughan said they could do a Facebook post with the link to the survey, possibly <br />something on the website. <br /> <br />Chair Hinton suggested they also put the link to the survey on the signs in the parks. <br />
