RecreationandParkCommission | 2005-06-09 | 4 | Chair Ingram asked if there was a difference between industrial areas and neighborhood areas. AD Lillard stated that the Assistant City Manager is looking into the issue. Commissioner Kahuanui stated that being a life-long resident of Alameda as well, she feels that it is irresponsible to think that we are all looking away when these so called illegal trucks are coming around. Ms. Kahuanui asked if all the trucks were illegal. AD Lillard stated that the Assistant City Manager is looking into the situation. Commissioner Oliver stated that the concern of the Recreation and Park Commission is vendors in our parks. Other City staff will investigate the issue of other truck vendors having use permits, but for now the Commission is concerned about the parks. Chair Ingram stated that he feels the Long-Term Park Use Policy should be worked on and approved and then work from there. Unfortunately this will delay a decision on Mr. Ensminger's request until at least the end of summer. Commissioner Johnson asked Mr. Ensminger if he owned the truck. Mr. Ensminger stated yes. Commissioner Johnson asked if Mr. Ensminger is currently allowed to go into other cities. Mr. Ensminger stated yes, he goes into San Leandro, Oakland, San Luis Obispo County, Santa Barbara County (music festivals). Commissioner Johnson asked if Mr. Ensminger is not really counting on Alameda. Mr. Ensminger stated that his goal is to work in Alameda where he grew up. Branching out is more of a necessity. Chair Ingram stated that the Long-Term Park Use Policy will continue to be worked on and it may be several months before the policy is completed. AD Lillard stated that when it is appropriate the request will be revisited and those involved invited to another meeting. B. Consideration of Conceptual Drawing for Bay Port Park and Community Building - (Discussion/Action Item) AD Lillard presented the conceptual drawing for Bay Port Park which will be adjacent to the school in the Catellus Development. Karen Folsom, LPA Architects representative, and John McDonald, Park Manager, were present to answer any questions. The Park will be 4 acres and includes 2 small soccer fields. The community building is separate and a separate plan will be presented later. Chair Ingram asked if Little League had seen the plans. AD Lillard stated that after it is reviewed by the Commission the plans will be taken to the Sports Advisory Group for review. The plans will be again reviewed by the Commission and then go to Council for approval. 4 Recreation & Park Commission Mtg.
