OLD BUSINESS
A) Comprehensive Parks & Rec Plan Update: Scope & Timeline
Mckenna-Foster stated the first thing we need to talk about is the scope of work for the
Comprehensive Plan Update included in your packet. We are looking at a 24 -month process. This
is just the guideline for how we make sure the process gets done.
Committee discussion of what the processes should be, how to get around Robert's Rules,
wanting to hold public meetings for public input without a quorum, how to get public input, funding
for continued, ongoing recreation, what do they need to do to move forward, the borough's Parks
and Rec budget of $121,000 and what does that go to and has any of that funding come across
to this committee.
The committee directed Mckenna-Foster to find the green space plan that they came up with.
B) Comprehensive Parks & Rec Plan Update: Visions from City P&R
EX -OFFICIO MEMBER GRONN said he wrote a few and asked people that worked for him which
they liked best.
C) Discussion about potential funding opportunities for Saltery Cove
Mckenna-Foster said there is potential money to do repairs to Saltery Cove. The problem with
that is the borough would have to take responsibility for an easement and they would also have
to put out $20,000 or $30,000. The funding is like $100,000 so you could put in bridges and some
other stuff. If the borough takes on another easement then the borough would be responsible for
maintaining it. He will write a memo to see if they can give us the proposal, and then we can send
it to the Borough Resource Management Officer, P&Z, and the Assembly.
Discussion
NEW BUSINESS
A) Potential Changes to KIBC 2.120: Increasing the number of voting members (Draft for
discussion)
Mckenna-Foster said that COMMITTEE MEMBER MILLSTEIN asked him to look into the
ordinance and he said that the City Parks and Rec Director has never been a voting member
since the committee was formed in 1982. Initially, there were nine members and the Assembly
member, and Planning and Zoning Commissioner were voting members. In 2003, they changed
that from voting to ex -officio in order to bring in people from the ad-hoc stakeholder committee.
EX -OFFICIO MEMBER GRONN said he brought this up at the last meeting, he participates and
he wants to participate and wants to go through these processes but he has zero say. We could
do a lot of work on the background and then you guys could simply vote that down. He is more
concerned about making sure we have more members present. He wants a more diverse group.
Adding two alternate members who sits as an ex -officio but gets to vote in the absence of a voting
member. He thinks taking your ordinance work that you have done he thinks adding two alternate
members that can vote in the absence. That's what he recommends.
Discussion about changing the size of the committee, changing the quorum language, making
any ex -officio's that show up become the voting alternates, making it the same as the City Parks
and Rec Committee,
B) Discussion about Fall Recreation Summit
Discussion about Termination Point, recreational opportunities within the city, and the Comp Plan.
Multiple discussions at one time (inaudible)
EX -OFFICIO MEMBER GRONN said he hopes at another meeting a recommendation can come
from this group to put that whole Killarney Hills process stopped until this goes through.
CHAIR SALTONSTALL said the focus if the summit will be urban trails.
C) Discussion about CIP List for June 2018 P&Z Meeting
Mckenna-Foster said this is their agenda from May so we were going to do the CIP List this month
but we can try to do it in July. Here's a list of priorities in the last 10 years. He doesn't know if they
were finished, or they are finished and continued, or just not continued or what. The way he sees
it, the committee should consistently push the same CIP List. Whichever of these are priorities,
we should continue.
During discussion, there was consensus to put this item on their July agenda to talk about it more
then.
D) Potential Time change for P&R Meetings
Discussion re: changing the meeting time. Consensus to change to 6 p.m.
COMMITTEE MEMBER MILLSTEIN MOVED to change our meeting time from 6:30 p.m. to 6
p.m.
