RecreationandParkCommission | 2011-10-13 | 4 | 4. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS None. 5. NEW BUSINESS A. Discussion and Review of Krusi Park Renovation Plans - (Discussion Item) Director Lillard stated that there was a public/community meeting held on Thursday, September 29, 2011, at Otis School, to discuss Krusi Park Renovation Plans. There were three meetings held that day: 3:00 p.m. for school district staff, 5:00 p.m. for youth groups, and 7:00 p.m. for neighbors. Commissioner Delaney and Director Lillard attended the meeting and there were approximately 30 people in attendance at the evening meeting (7:00 p.m.). The architects took all of the comments from the meetings and met with ARPD staff on Monday, October 3, for additional details. They are refining a conceptual drawing that will be brought before the Recreation & Park Commission at the November meeting. Director Lillard stated that the recreation building is really nice with a concession stand included. It is all green; solar heated, catches rain water, etc. Access to the park has been accentuated. After the November meeting and the Commission has given their comments, staff will move forward and prepare the bid documents. We anticipate releasing bid documents after the first of the year. Bid documents must stay out for 30 days. After 30 days, bids will be opened and then the project will be awarded in early spring. It is hoped that the project will be completed by the beginning of the next school year (September 2012). Director Lillard stated that the fields will not be affected by the project. The tennis courts will be resurfaced as another project. Tennis courts will either be redone now (fall) or in the spring 2012 depending on weather. Chair Restagno asked if the project was being put together with the budget that we know we have now. Director Lillard stated yes. Commissioner Delaney asked if a small fence along Otis Drive will be included in the project. Director Lillard stated yes. ARPD had another $51,000 left over from State Grant (Prop 12 and Prop 40) money that will be applied to the project as well. Chair Restagno asked if it was anticipated that ARPD would have an afterschool care program at the facility after the renovation. Director Lillard stated yes. We anticipate accommodating 45 children in the program with the new building. B. Discussion of January ARPD Reorganization - (Discussion Item) Director Lillard stated that everyone is aware of the last budget process and there were a lot of budget reductions citywide. For ARPD this resulted in reorganization after the first of the year. The changes made are that the Director position is now reclassified as Recreation & Park Commission Mtg. 4 Minutes - Thursday, October 13, 2011 | RecreationandParkCommission/2011-10-13.pdf |
