Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 12-01-04 Ms. Stephan reported Mr. Paul Keleher appeared before City Council at the November 10, 2004 City Council Meeting and asked that the Developer's Agreement be amended to reflect that the Park Dedication Fees being paid on Phase I would cover Phase II as well. After some discussion, this was agreed upon and a motion was made to reflect that the park Dedication Fees would cover both Phase I and phase II. Ms. Stephan's understanding from the meeting was that this meant $600 would be paid for all 18 units and the price would not exceed $600. In viewing the November 10, 2004 Cit Council Meeting Minutes, it is actually unclear. It could also be read to mean that it is $6,000 for all 18 units with the first 10 units having $600 Park Dedication Fee applied to each permit, the last 8 units having no Park Dedication Fee applied. The committee felt like this item should have come back to the Parks & Recreation Committee for review before a final decision was made and this area needs to be clarified. Committee 2005 Achievements (Capra Memo) Chairperson Peterson stated Mayor Elect Capra is looking for goals the committee has over the next few years and would like to plan a meeting in early 2005 with all council, commission and committee members to review these goals. Chairperson Peterson would like the committee members to be prepared to discuss this at the next scheduled Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting. Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc felt these goals are defined in the Parks & Recreation Budget and would be easily highlighted from the budget. Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc will supply the committee with the updated version of the budget prior to the next meeting General Fund Bud2et (Peterson) Chairperson Peterson stated the committee has not requested any monies from the General Fund for the last few years as they have had adequate Park Dedicate Fees to fund the various projects the committee has been working on, but the committee will need to start requesting funds again as the Park Dedication Fees will become limited as Centerville is built out and the committee will then be dependant on the General Fund. Chairperson Peterson questioned what exactly Parks & Recreation Committee's responsibility is when it comes to Capital Improvement items such as is it the committee's responsibility to go into Tracie McBride and buy all new equipment or is it considered general upkeep/maintenance. Should the committee be allocating funds for this park when the water tower comes down or would this be a line item for the General Funds. Committee Member Seeley questioned whether the vandalism in Royal Meadows had increased or decreased. Chairperson Peterson stated most of the problems disappeared when one of the families suspected of the vandalism moved out of Centerville. Committee Member Seeley suggested an upgrade to this park be looked at as the park was not improved due to the vandalism. The committee will review this when looking at goals and the budget. Committee Vacancy Committee Member Anderson has resigned from the committee due to other commitments. Chairperson Peterson requested a plaque be ordered for Committee Member Anderson and Chairperson Peterson will invite him to the next scheduled Parks & Recreation Meeting to receive the plaque. Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc requested adding a discussion of the number of members on the Parks & Recreation Committee since the committee has one, and possibly two, vacancies, would it be advantageous to change the number of committee members on the Parks & Recreation Committee from 7 members to 5 members. Chairperson Peterson stated he believes it is a bylaw issue governing the number of members on the commission and committees and it would not be possible to reduce the number of members. The majority of the committee liked the idea of7 members. No further discussion on this item. 40f6
