208 AGENDA ITEM 4. REVIEW & DISCUSSION OF EXISTING COMMISSION COMMITTEES' MEMBERSHIP I( T ....... "f ~ AND C HA I RMAN ~ LI . See revised report attached. The new Park and Open Space Committee was requested to look into "Motorcycle Hill" and to formulate a report. The C~mmittee would investigate it as an open space area for' parks. The open space across from Ampex Corporation was also mentioned and the Committee was requested to look into that area also. The new Recreation Programming Committee will work with the staff in the area of program needs and evaluation. Mr. Weeks suggested the staff meet more formally with the subcommittees and minutes should be taken and distributed for better communication. He felt there should be staff assignments to all subcommittee meetings so the staff and subcommittee could coordinate their efforts. Chairman Schenck requested all Committees notify him when they will be meeting so that he may attend if possible. REPORTS 1. .£!pital Il!!Provement Reyort The report as submitted to the Commission was thoroughly discussed. The proposals for the Capital Improvement portion of the budget for fiscal year 1973-74 continued to follow the major areas of emphasis that were initiated in the Capital Improvement Program for fiscal year 1972-73. It was pointed out that as more definitive planning took place in the coming year, a re~ evaluation of the long range Capital Improvement Program for the Parks & Recreation areas would be undertaken. This may result in significant changes commencing with the fiscal year 1974-75. This may be particularly true in the area of neighborhood park expansion and redevelopment. At the conclusion of the discussion, Commissioner Guida moved for the adoption of the Capital Improvement report. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Pound. Motion carried. 2. Red Morton Memorial Status .dL .. .... dll'I"" It was repo~ted that to date $1,995 has been donated to the memorial fund~. It is estimated, however, that approximately $7,000 will be needed for the project. The Commission felt that a consideration should be given to establishing a memorial fund committee in order to pursue this fund solicitation. It was the consensus that if this type of an effort was made and the solicitation still fell short of the needs, it may then be necessary to request funding from the City Council to complete the project. 3. Hetch-Hetchy Development Chairman Schenck mentioned that he had had three calls or so from citizens as to whether or not anything on Hetch-Hetchy was going to be discussed. He mentioned that nothing had b~en voted upon as yet--just a status and updating report had been presented. Mr. Blank was present and indicated his opposition to certain aspects of the concept plan. Chairman Schenck asked the Committee and staff if there was any further action subsequent to Council approval. There was none. Hetch~Hetchy is now awaiting budget approval for planning monies. . ._~_._~
