RecreationandParkCommission | 2021-04-08 | 2 | REPORTS FROM COMMISSIONERS Chair Alexander: Toured tennis courts to look for pickleball court possibilities. Ballena Bay looks like a good site. Last month talked about the women of ARPD and Jackie Krause, Recreation Manager, reminded her that Sherry McCarthy and Suzanne Oda were also ARPD Directors before Director Wooldridge. Suggested having a plague to recognize the history of the women of ARPD and place it at Krusi softball diamond #1 as it is mostly used by women's teams. Thanked Mastick for calling seniors to ask if they had or need their COVID-19 immunizations. Requests to repair the tennis courts and repaint the backstops if there is additional funds from the Federal stimulus package. Would like to add more book boxes in the parks with books about children of color. Commissioner Limoges: Looked at Shoreline Park parcel 4. Agrees there is about 400 feet that is in disrepair and supports finishing it. Has been watching Seaplane lagoon Waterfront Park being built and said there is a lot of movement and is a beautiful spot. Stopped by the Gaga Pit and enjoyed seeing the kids playing and having fun. Commissioner Navarro: Excited to see the RAP kids, who were on a field trip to Tuckers Ice Creamery, enjoying themselves and also that they were wearing masks and physical distancing. Vice Chair Robbins: Good pickleball court potential at Ballena Bay. The courts are sunken down 4 feet and with wind screens it would be great. Asked about the progress of online tennis reservations. ARPD Director Wooldridge: ARPD is working on it to launch it correctly. Asked if there would be signage at the Gaga Pit. ARPD Director Wooldridge: Yes, the signage is on order. AGENDA ITEMS 6-A Discuss and Make Recommendations on the City Facility Naming Policy, Particularly Regarding Parks and Recreation Facilities ARPD Director Wooldridge gave presentation which included the background, draft policy, procedure and criteria for naming facilities and explained the process from public input to Recreation and Park Commission to the City Council approval. 6-A Public Comments Speaker Rasheed Shabazz: naming is a great opportunity for the community to say what is important and significant. Define what diversity, equity and inclusion means in the process to have clarity. Think about how it can increase access to empower the community's voice. 6-A Commissioner Comments Commissioner Limoges: Research is important, who will be doing the research in the community. ARPD Director Wooldridge: City council and staff. Can City Council say no to a request for a name change? ARPD Director Wooldridge: City Council determines if a facility should be renamed. Is there a way for partial naming when someone donates funds? ARPD Director Wooldridge: Yes, that would be naming specific amenities in a park and has been done previously. Thinks a Master list is a good idea and that the process has to begin with City Council. Commissioner Navarro: Would be good to indicate sub facilities such as Golden Gate Park does. 2 | RecreationandParkCommission/2021-04-08.pdf |
