Commissioner Pound inquired as to the possibilities of the City building a skateboard center . Mr . Weeks replied that the staff had discussed this possibility and had investigated the matter in a preliminary way . It was found that there are wide differences of opinion regarding public operations and that liability is usually a deterrent . The concensus seems to be that private operations of skateboard facilities are best . He indicated that as yet , there had not been a significant demand for a public facility . He offered to study the matter further if the Com- mission desired . Commissioner Pound also indicated that the supervised playground acti - vities at Marlin Park were going very well , but she felt the kids at Redwood Shores need to be involved with some of the activities that are centered in the City . Her main concern was the recent Pinewood Derby held at Stafford Park . She indicated that a lot of Redwood Shores children were not able to get into Stafford Park for the Derby , and , therefore , missed out on an exciting and worthwhile event . She inquired if the Redwood Shores parks could get the Pinewood Derby track placed out at Marlin Park next year . Mr . Weeks indicated that this was a possibility and could be looked into for next year ' s activity . Commissioner Anderson indicated that the fence at Hoover Pool has been cut in numerous places . He inquired if an alarm system could be installed to keep vandals from cutting the fence . Mr . Weeks indicated that the City is considering replacing the fence with a heavier fence ; however , this has been a continuing problem along with other vandalism and it is nearly impossible to control . MOTION : There being no further business , Commissioner Pound moved , seconded by Commissioner Buckhout , to adjourn the meeting . The motion carried unanimously by voice vote and the meeting was adjourned at 10 : 18 p . m . - 5-
