The Commission discussed roles for the joint meeting. Youth Commissioner Kim, Commissioner Baggenstoss and Commissioner Lenhart volunteered to work on the Pocahontas Park naming discussion topic. Chair Hoag volunteered to present on the topic of EAB. Chair Hoag questioned if a third topic should be included in the presentation. Staff suggested that perhaps pickleball should be included as the community members had previously submitted a petition in favor of the sport. Commissioner Brown recommended that a slide be included explaining what pickleball is. Vice-Chair Dahlstrom volunteered to present the introduction, closing or any other parts of the presentation that are open. Arrangements for the joint meeting were discussed between the Commission and staff including the PowerPoint presentation and the Request for Council Action (RCA). It was agreed that staff would coordinate a time for Chair Hoag, Vice-Chair Dahlstrom, Youth Commissioner Kim and Commissioner Baggenstoss to meet prior to the joint meeting to review. Potential times were discussed and it was suggested that staff send some time options. 8) STAFF REPORT a) NEW OR RELEVANT COMMUNICATIONS AND UPDATE ITEMS Upcoming Parks and Recreation key dates: o dult sports may resume, with significant restrictions o o with other teams may begin.
