Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee – January 23, 2024 Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />Council Liaison Rousseau stated she and the Mayor would be drafting a code of conduct for <br />committees and commissions. She would like to have input from someone on PTRC. <br /> <br />Committee Member Dietz offered to give input. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Rousseau mentioned the State of the City would be at 10:00 am on February 10 <br />at City Hall. She said the Council discussed the PMP and trail rehabilitation impacting the Floral <br />Park neighborhood. Council approved naming the triangle park South Point Park. She appreciated <br />the PTRC recommendation and explained that Councilmember Holden had a friend that used to <br />care for the park and this was one of his suggestions. She told the City Council about some of the <br />motions that PTRC made, and it sound like they may be able to do a presentation of their goals at <br />the March work session. An open house would probably have to be pushed past spring. A <br />prescribed burn would need to be communicated with the neighborhood so that won’t happen yet. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Rousseau said Committee Members Nelson, Dietz and Anderson each have <br />terms expiring in 2024, and Committee Member Weber and Youth Committee Member Edgar will <br />be done in August. She asked them to let her know if they were considering renewing for another <br />three years. There are currently three openings on the Committee with one applicant they will be <br />interviewing. There is also an opening on the Economic Development Commission and the <br />Planning Commission will have an opening for a Commissioner and an alternate. <br /> <br />4. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. PTRC Procedure and Planning Discussion <br /> <br />Chair Anderson said they are hoping to come up with a clear plan as to what projects they’d like <br />to focus on throughout the year so they can be better at articulating to the Council what they’d like <br />to have done. She noted that Committee Member Seemann and former member Kelliher had <br />provided a lot of details and plans. She would like to come up with four or five projects for 2024 <br />and create committees to work on those. <br /> <br />Councilmember Rousseau felt the PTRC is going in a great direction and they should solicit <br />feedback from the group to see if it’s working and what they’d like to make different. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson said the progress and types of things they are doing now are very different from <br />the past. <br /> <br />Committee Member Jacobson thought having work being done in the background with <br />committees could be a nice way to get things done. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson said once working groups are established they would provide updates to the <br />Committee to let them know if there was anything they wanted the group to act on or give feedback <br />on. <br /> <br />B. Trail and Parks Projects Update <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson reviewed the memo from Assistant Public Works Director <br />Miller which included new/updated items:
