.~ JI "'11 "" .." TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members . )\, Kim Stephan \~ FROM: SUBJECT: Parks and Recreation Committee Update DATE: January 16,2003 The Parks & Recreation Committee have requested the City Administrator direct staff to send letters to the residents in the area of Royal Meadows Park notifying them of a neighborhood input meeting to discuss possible changes to Royal Meadows Park. This will be held at the February 5,2003 regularly scheduled Parks & Recreation Committee meeting at 6:30 p.m. The committee is considering recommending to council that the play structure currently at Royal Meadows Park be moved to Laurie LaMotte Park and the basketball area at Royal Meadows Park be enlarged. The committee would like to get community input on this idea. The following is from the December 4, 2002 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes in regards to Royal Meadows Park: Royal Meadows Public Input Hearin2 Committee Member Walter drafted a letter to potentially be sent to the residents near Royal Meadows Park informing them of the possibility of moving the play.structure from the park, adding an additional basketball hoop and the reasons for considering this move. Some residents have already expressed concern, recognizing there are problems in the park, but at the same time would not like to see the equipment moved as there are small children who use the play structure. The goal was to send a letter to residents in January notifying them of the public input hearing and holding the hearing in February. There are some changes to be made to the letter. This item was tabled and put back on the agenda for January. Attached is a copy of the draft letter to be sent to residents.
