48 | Commissioner Discussion Chair Limoges: Agreed that Jackson Park is a Park that seems to be under-utilized. Might be a great idea if the playground orientation is towards tots. Inquired if there is any training for the staff when they encounter the homeless or any aggressive person. Answer: We discuss the issue at staff meetings and staff are encouraged to call the police for any aggressive behaviors but no formal training. Vice Chair Alexander: Wants to consider the possibility of a playground at Jackson Park. How much would the playground cost? Answer: Approximately $100,000. It would be less expensive if it was a small tot park. Commissioner Barnes: Agrees that the playground at Jackson Park is a good idea. Short term fix by creating a fence and sandbox to start making use of it. Asked if funds are set aside for the campground area at Alameda Point? Answer: Campground is within Enterprise Park Master Plan, which is still open for discussion and there is no funding for it presently. Vice Chair Alexander made a motion to accept the 2019 - 2021 Operating and Capital Improvement Budgets with the recommendation to council to set aside funds for a playground at Jackson Park. M/S Vice Chair Alexander / Chair Limoges / All in favor with a 3 - 0 vote. 7-B Review and Recommend List of Park Names Policy for Naming City Facilities ARPD Director Amy Wooldridge gave report which included the City of Alameda policy for naming city facilities and park naming data from social media. Commissioner Discussion Chair Limoges: Suggested that all Commissioners research and identify a dozen names they would like for a list and revisit the collective lists at the July meeting. Commissioner Barnes: Suggested to prioritize honoring people from Alameda such as Neil Tam, Vickie Smith, Jim Morrison and Larry Schulz, an Alameda minister who also did a lot of work on base replanning.
