RecreationandParkCommission | 2011-10-13 | 2 | work for them. Chair Restagno stated that he thought it was a maximum of 30 days. Mr. McEachern stated that even the 30 days is a problem due to the timeline. The other issue is that there are only two locations allowed to hang the banners. Director Lillard stated that there are three locations which are Krusi, Lincoln, and Washington Parks. Mr. McEachern stated that in the past they have tried to recruit more girls from the west end and they used to put a banner on the fence at the pump station on Ninth Street, but are not allowed to use that location any more. Director Lillard stated that they could use the fence on Central Avenue at Washington Park. Mr. McEachern stated that they would like to use Ruby Bridges but according to the policy they are not allowed to do so anymore. Also, the fence at Krusi is 300 feet long and to be able to only have one - six foot sign at a time is a little restrictive. Last year there was a softball tournament held at Krusi Park for the first time and there were over 300 people from outside of the city who attended. At that time, there were three banners made with the ARPD/AGSA logo on them to go on each field. In the fall, when AGSA has their regular season they would like to leave the banners up on each field, off the diamonds, and leave them up through the season (January-June). Director Lillard stated that if the banners are on the fields it would not be a problem. AGSA can do that which is similar to what Alameda High School does at Lincoln Park. Chair Restagno stated he did not think that there was a limit to having only one banner. Director Lillard stated that ARPD is trying to limit it to one banner in case there were multiple organizations. Chair Restagno stated that with the locations being Washington, Lincoln, and Krusi Parks that would only leave Ruby Bridges that was not being used. Mr. McEachern stated that in the past they have also used the AP Multipurpose Field. Chair Restagno stated that he and the Commission are open to looking at what is reasonable. Commissioner Delaney stated that it would seem logical for AGSA to outline in writing what their requests are and then bring it back to the Commission for a decision. That way there will be something in writing and guidelines to move forward. Mary Anderson, Alameda resident, stated that she did not get to the two public meetings in June where the Park Master Plan was presented and asked if she could have a copy. Director Lillard stated that the draft will come before the Recreation & Park Commission at their November meeting. Ms. Anderson asked if there was any information online. There was reference to an online survey. Director Lillard stated that the consultants have completed the online survey. He stated that Ms. Anderson could still submit items to the ARPD Office and staff can get the information to the consultants. Ms. Anderson asked for clarification if the Commission will be talking about the Land Swap tonight. Director Lillard stated that he will just be providing the Deal Points. Ms. Anderson asked if the fields are obtained out at the Cowan land how will that affect plans for fields at Alameda Point. Director Lillard stated that in the Draft Park Master Plan, preliminary release, it shows a shortage of fields right now and predicts an even more severe shortage in 10 years. ARPD will need every location that they can find. There will be fields needed on the old Beltline property and some out at Alameda Point.
