RecreationandParkCommission | 2010-02-11 | 5 | Director Lillard stated that one of the main concerns that ARPD staff has is that there are a lot of preschoolers who use the park and they might get over run by the school age children. Ms. Zenner stated that if they raised funds it would be under the auspices of Friends of Franklin Park. Director Lillard stated that they could add a second play area. So during the day the preschoolers could play in that area and then the preschoolers would not be overrun by the school age children. Commissioner Cooper asked if the second play area would be the grass area beyond the tennis courts. Director Lillard stated yes. Ms. Zenner stated it would be an early childhood play area. Director Lillard stated so that park patrons would not get over run by the school children. Commissioner Cooper stated that his only concern would be the number of preschoolers who use the park. Commissioners Sonneman and Brown also agreed. Director Lillard stated that at this point the project is conceptual but wanted to begin the Commission review process. Commissioner Sonneman asked who would pay for the gate. Ms. Zenner stated probably the Franklin School PTA. Commissioner Sonneman asked if ARPD would have approval of placement of the gate. Director Lillard stated yes, it would be a negotiated item. Commissioner Sonneman asked if the site specific plan would be unique to Franklin. Director Lillard stated it would be the first one documented besides Bayport Park. Chair Ogden asked if the use would include the tennis courts. Ms. Zenner stated no. Director Lillard stated that the time would only include during the school day. We would still have the area from 3:00 p.m. on and it does not include the recreation building. Chair Ogden stated it would not be for exclusive use. Director Lillard stated no. There will still be park access. Director Lillard stated that ARPD nor the Recreation and Park Commission could sign an agreement with the Franklin School group. It would have to be done at the Council level. Director Lillard stated that this is an informational item. There have been a couple of meetings between staff and the school group just in case the Commission starts hearing about this issue. B. Annual Review and Adjustment of Fees for Recreation and Parks - (Discussion/Action Item) Director Lillard reviewed the fees for the Recreation and Park Department. Staff tried to keep the fees stable because of the current economic situation and we are trying to hold the line so people make the choice to stay with our programs. Program registrations are Recreation & Park Commission Mtg. 5 Minutes - Thursday, February 11, 2010 | RecreationandParkCommission/2010-02-11.pdf |
