Speaker - Helena Lengel, Biology Department of the College of Alameda, stated she also worked with the JSOSC on the ballot measure to acquire the property.

Speaker - Jim Sweeney, husband of Jean Sweeney, delighted this project coming to fruition. Jean never gave up on this, which started in 1998 at a meeting at Mastick Senior Center. The result was that everyone wanted open space for walking, and bike paths and she was able to get 1,000 signatures and the initiative passed.

NEW BUSINESS Commissioner Delaney spoke about the Council meetings that had taken place the previous evenings. There had been discussion about the Golf Course and the City's athletic fields, and Delaney was wondering why the Recreation & Park Commission had not been involved with these issues prior to those meetings. He was disturbed that there is a sub-set to the sports group that are putting out literature communicating the fact that the North Loop area has already been defined as a sporting field, and it has not. Delaney asked the Commission if the other members were concerned about these independent groups developing now and talking about maintaining some of these facilities once they get built. Delaney has met some of the people, and although they seem very nice, he wonders if they are qualified, capable and committed to such an undertaking for the long-term.

Potential Action to Reduce the Number of Recreation & Park Commission Members from 7 to 5 (Discussion/Action Item) Commissioner Sonneman asked if the Commission was supposed to initiate this action. Director Lillard explained that at a previous City Council meeting they had reviewed all the Boards and Commissions and took an action vote to either combine some of the bodies or reduce the number of members. The Council asked that the decision on reducing the number of members on the Recreation Commission come back to its members for a formal action before a final decision was made. There was a feeling on the Council that the body should remain with seven members to give a bigger cross section of the community a chance to be heard. Commissioner Sonneman respects the broader part of the community having a voice; however, they have struggled several times with meetings cancelled due to a lack of quorum. Community members are always welcome to attend meetings and give their opinions and concerns, but having five members makes better sense, and that's what he would recommend. | RecreationandParkCommission/2012-05-10.pdf |

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, AGENDA No Public Comment. Chair Delaney mentioned the passing of Golf Commissioner, Mr. Ray Gahl. He was a great asset to the City. 4. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS Director Amy Wooldridge, reported there were many comments received for the Jackson Park bench, that were presented to the Commissioners. 5. NEW BUSINESS A. Review and Recommendation on the Clark Memorial Bench in Jackson Park Director Amy Wooldridge made a change to the recommendation and requested that the Commission delay the recommendation until further research be completed. The bench is significantly damaged. This is not on the historical monument list, but this is first hardscape in the city's oldest park. Chair Delaney asked if we are addressing a bench or are we addressing crime; if there was no crime would we be discussing this. Director Wooldridge stated we would be talking about this because of the recent damage to the bench. Public Comment: Josh Miller, lives across the street. He said the majority of people who frequent the bench are unruly teens causing trouble, and sometimes dangerously spilling out onto the street. The bench is situated so it allows the illegal behavior. The park is in a constant state of evolution, and this should include the bench. Betsy Mathison, lives near the park. Jackson is the most urban park and being passive it deserves more attention. She reported doing research on "dumb friends league" and gave historical perspective. She asked if the bench could be saved as there seems to be a much broader me… | RecreationandParkCommission/2014-03-13.pdf |

NEW BUSINESS A. Review and Recommend Recreation and Park Department Annual User Fee Schedule Proposed 2016 User Fee Schedule was requested to be adopted for 2016. The areas in which funding was requested to be increased included the Athletic Field Youth Organization User Fee, the new Estuary Field Fees, and various staffed Recreation programs. The biggest fee increase will affect the Athletic Field Youth Organization users which will go up from $2.00 per hour to $4.00 per hour. Maintenance and upkeep of the fields have increased greatly due to the wear and tear from the volume of users on the fields and the lack of watering due to the drought. The new Estuary Park will be opening next year and its fees were also added to the user fee list. With the California minimum wage increasing to $10.00 per hour starting in January 2016, this will also impact our user fees for the various staffed Recreation programs. The Bocceball court rental will increase from a minimum of 2 hours to 3 hours to keep it consistent with the Picnic rentals. Speaker Maureen Layag, President of the Alameda Girls' Softball Association, spoke on the proposed change to the 2016 User Fee Schedule, she mentioned that over the past four years, the 1 | RecreationandParkCommission/2015-10-08.pdf |

They also shared that Lacrosse is one of the fastest growing sports which accommodates a wide range of ages and are in need of increased field time in Alameda. Speaker Carolyn Stanton, head coach for the girls High School Lacrosse Team said it is tough when they have limited space due to sharing it with other sports and requested to make a permanently lined field for Lacrosse so they can use the field in any weather. Chair Tilos agreed that it is the fastest growing sport for both genders and that the fields are difficult to get enough time due to the limited space as well as the costs to maintain the fields. Commissioner Limoges asked if there is still a window of opportunity to make a decision and if they could have a special meeting to consider this. Director Amy Wooldridge said yes but the special meeting would need to happen within the next two weeks and there would be additional costs added to the project.

NEW BUSINESS A. Discussion and Review of Proposed Revised Projects for East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) Measure WW Funds - (Discussion/Action Item) Director Lillard introduced Ann Marie Gallant (ICM) to discuss the proposed revised projects for EBRPD Measure WW Funds. This item was a referral from a Council Member which is honored if there are three votes from the Council for staff to analyze the issue. That referral was referred to staff with a series of questions. The two biggest tests were eligibility and proof of financial capacity. For the last 30 days there has been extensive research and staff time put into this issue. Both the ICM and City Attorney have requested a written opinion from the Bond Counsel as to the eligibility of this project. The City has heard informally the EBRPD comments from their staff. It is our understanding that the EBRPD Counsel gave a preliminary determination that this project was eligible, but the District Counsel is not their Bond Counsel. The City felt that the safest view would be to have the Bond Counsel give an opinion. As of today the Bond Counsel has not given us their opinion.

The playground will have a train theme to match the existing train component. Commissioner Tilos asked about sponsorship opportunities, and a "tiger" theme since the park baseball league historically was the Longfellow Tigers.

NEW BUSINESS 5-A Review and Comment on Public Water Access as Part of the Tidal Canal Transfer Andrico Penick, Assistant City Attorney, gave a presentation on the public access as part of the Tidal Canal Transfer. Director Amy Wooldridge added information on the use of the space from the recreation perspective. Vice chair Delaney said he has no problems with 18 foot easement as the City of Alameda needs to control access to the area so they do not get motorized boats as that is unfair to the residents.

Commissioner Limoges was delighted that this issue has a good and intelligent solution; it is fair to homeowners and residents that want access on a limited basis to water. Chair Tilos said we do not want to encroach on existing resident homes: 18 feet is all that is needed for paddleboards or kayaks and 35 feet would just encourage motorized access. He is in agreement of having the area at 18 feet. He understands the logistical issue for the residents. It would be best to designate the area for non-motorized boats only.

New Business, A. Discussion of Possible Projects for East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) Measure WW Funds). Ms. Sweeney feels that the acquisition of Collins Property (Estuary Park located between Oak St. and Milburn) should be given the #1 priority and not be #11 as noted in the minutes. Ms. Sweeney stated that the Estuary Park Committee representatives include Jim Sweeney, Joe Woodard, and Dorothy Freeman. Joe Woodard stated that he wants to make sure that the Recreation and Park Commission is informed and suggested that they visit the website at Alamedareport.org/epad which gives an update and information on what is going on with this issue. It is the Committees hope and strong recommendation that the Recreation and Park Department will come on board by reorganizing the priorities in the December 11, 2009 Recreation and Park Commission Minutes and making the acquisition of Estuary Park it's highest priority. Director Lillard stated that for clarification the restrictions that go along with the Measure WW funding source is that an entire project must be completed to receive the funds. The funds cannot be put into a bank account and then wait to find other funding sources. - 1 - Recreation & Park C… | RecreationandParkCommission/2009-02-12.pdf |
