CityCouncil | 2006-02-21 | 6 | Vice Mayor Gilmore stated that the application form should include the language: "Park land and recreation facilities are designed for public use. Therefore, entities requesting approval for long-term use of park land and recreation facilities must be able to accommodate participation from the general public and not be limited by membership association. The Acting Recreation and Park Director stated the language could be included; noted applicants need to schedule a pre-meeting as part of the process. Councilmember Daysog inquired what were the Recreation and Park Commission's comments regarding the 72 hours and whether the 72 hours applied to a per-year basis. The Acting Recreation and Park Director responded the Recreation and Park Commission felt other activities would be impacted if any park activity shut down a park for 72 hours or more; a 72- hour use would be subject to more review than shorter-tern uses. Councilmember Daysog inquired whether the 72-hour use would apply if a non-profit occupied different parks for eight-hour periods at different times of the year. The Acting Recreation and Parks Director responded said uses would be handled through the current one-day reservation process. Mayor Johnson inquired whether reservations for picnic areas would be included in the policy. The Acting Recreation and Parks Director responded picnic area reservations are handled through the one-day reservation process. Councilmember Daysog inquired whether the Lincoln Park and Franklin Park pool association responsibilities would change with the policy, to which the Acting Recreation and Park Director responded in the negative. Councilmember Daysog stated that the pool associations have a lease; inquired how the policy would affect the renewal of the lease. The Acting Recreation and Park Director responded the Council would have the option to extend the lease based upon the public service provided. Mayor Johnson stated lease renewals are issues that should come to the Council. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 6 February 21, 2006 | CityCouncil/2006-02-21.pdf |
