RecreationandParkCommission | 2021-06-10 | 3 | celebrate all in the community. The list included Sandcastle and Sandcastle Contest, Starlight Movies in the Park, Fourth of July Parade, Spring Earth Festival, Water Festival Regatta, Storytelling and Drumming Festival, the Mayors Tree Lighting Ceremony and Pride in the Park. 6-B Public Comments - No public comments 6-B Commissioner Comments Chair Alexander thinks the events on the list are great ideas and especially liked the movie in the pool idea. Also wondered if it is an option to ask for sponsors in the community to contribute smaller funds financially for the different events. Looking forward to having the 4th of July parade return in the future and would like to see an ARPD float at it. Also would like to keep the Porch of July. Vice Chair Robbins noticed the name of the Father Daughter dance was changed to the Parent Child Dance to be inclusive. Brought up putting out a donation box at events. Commissioner Nguyen appreciated the ARPD team changing things to be more inclusive. Asked where the storytellers and drummers would come from. Director Wooldridge said they would start with reach out to communities within Alameda. 6-B Motion Commissioner Navarro moved that the Commission approve this slate of events as presented to City Council. M/S Commissioner Navarro / Commissioner Jones All present in favor with 5 ayes via roll call vote. 6-C Report on Recreation and Parks Department Partnerships with Alameda Unified School District ARPD Director Wooldridge gave a presentation which included the Joint Use Agreements with Bayport Park and the swim centers at Encinal High School and Alameda High School, shared use space with schools and community both using outside space and shared Alameda Point Gym, athletic fields and tennis courts. The Greenway Golf lease agreement requires that Corica Park provide free golf for both high school teams. 6-C Public Comments - No public comment 6-C Commissioner Comments Chair Alexander noted Alameda High School tennis courts are also empty on the weekends and would be great for public use. It would be great to have AUSD fund some of the maintenance for the wear and tear on the fields and playgrounds to make it fair and make the most of the facilities. Vice Chair Robbins commented it is a frustrating that AUSD couldn't put in the money to improve the Alameda High School pool. Encinal High School tennis courts have been vacant for 5 years and could be put to good use with ARPD even if it is short term. Sees more take and not give from the school district. 3 | RecreationandParkCommission/2021-06-10.pdf |
