Staff Report(s)
South Park Climbing Wall Analysis
After a short discussion, it was decided to bring the issue back in June after more work. It was also decided that we should stay within the $20,000 limit. It was suggested that it be proposed as a CIP project for 03-04 budget.
Commissioner Report(s)
City Tree Subcommittee Report - Sigler
There was a meeting with Jean Lombardo as head of the committee. They will get a list of approved trees and would like to plant more on Aviation and PCH. The idea would be to provide benefits to those businesses that help maintain the trees.
Clark Field/Sports Field Subcommittee Report - Bell/Fishman
Opening night was 2/28 with many kudos to staff for a beautiful job. Little League contributed money and time that was invaluable. There are plans for irrigation of the other field at a later date.
Community Center Foundation Report - Hollander
"The Last Puppet Show' was a huge success. The "Dining Room" is still playing until Wednesday, March 12th.
Museum Subcommittee Report - Fishman/Hollander
The Historical Society's annual recruitment meeting is Friday March 7, 2003 from 7 - 9 p.m. at 1004 9th Street. They will have a major fund raiser in May to help with the construction costs of the new space they have acquired.
Senior Activities Subcommittee Report - Fishman
Commissioner Francis discussed the fact that what we can offer is tied to funding. It was be helpful to get senior opinions of what they would like to see in their community. Staff could contact the Women's Club at a fact-finding meeting. There should be no program expansion now because of the budget.
Valley Park Subcommittee Report - Francis
The park is progressing nicely. The opening date has been pushed back due to replacement of some trees and the retaining wood (which will be replaced with stone or mortar).
Items Requested by Commissioners
Put a committee together to start planning for the "Community Picnic".
