RecreationandParkCommission | 2005-01-13 | 2 | 4. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS Letter from Pat Colburn, Alameda Arts Center President, requesting an amendment to Ordinance 2892 and encourage developers to provide aid to the established arts venues in Alameda. 5. NEW BUSINESS None. 6. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Continued Discussion and Consideration of Request from Mayor and City Council to Develop a Park Use Policy - (Discussion Item) Discussion was held regarding what to include in the Park Use Policy. Kahuanui requested a listing of equipment (sheds, etc.) at the parks. So the Commission will know what is existing to begin the process of developing a policy. The list should be anything that is not ARPD's. Acreage for each park should also be included on the list. Oliver stated that individuals selling balloons and ice cream in the parks should have City of Alameda permits and a permit from ARPD. He also suggested not allowing demonstrations. RSM Lillard stated that if they are doing business in the City of Alameda they should have a City of Alameda Business License. Johnson suggested obtaining park use policies from other cities so that the Commission does not have to reinvent the wheel. The Commission could then apply points that are what Alameda needs. Ms. Johnson provided some copies of other cities (e.g., Midland, Portland) as examples. Chair Ingram stated that there are other cities that we can borrow from when generating the policy. RSM Lillard stated that some ideas from other cities could be used. Chair Ingram suggested not putting anything in a park when the park is less than three (3) acres. Councilmember Kerr's comment regarding incorporating traffic should also be considered. RSM Lillard stated that staff will put together a draft policy with the sample policies from other cities and recommendations by the Commission. George Phillips, Boys and Girls Club Executive Director, stated that he was at the meeting to be aware of the process. Mr. Phillips stated that he hopes the Commission will look at the following: 2 Recreation & Park Commission Mtg.
