217 Community Park Committee - Chairman Guida was not present and it was requested that this report be held over until Chairman Guida could report. The Commissioners on this committee talked briefly about the Community Park meeting. At the first meeting, they discussed ramifications of the new budget and talked about alternatives for construction of Phase 2 and 3. They also discussed Phase 1 and what was taking place. Their next meeting is scheduled for August 29. In the interim, data will be prepared for discussion at the August meeting. Phase 1 construction is still con- fined to the same area. At the end of Phase 1, all automobile access into the park will be closed off for the protection of the new construction as well as the park patrons. Open Space Committee - Chairman Knecht gave the report. The neighborhood parks were mentioned. Priorities were set as follows: a. Initiate review of the Park & Recreation Element of the General Plan. b. Priority consideration will be given to the neighborhood park concept. Initial attention of this priority will be directed to the Middle field neighborhood area boardered by Woodside Expressway, Broadway and Main Street; the Palm neigh~ borhood area; the Oakwood neighborhood area; and the Friendly Acres neigh- borhood. Current thinking is to concentrate study priorities in the eastern section of Redwood City. At the next meeting the committee will tour and review Redwood Shores. Committee members are also represented on the Waterfront Committee. ITEM 2 - A$enda Discussion - Adjourned Join~ Meeting With City Council in August Chairman Schenck spoke with Mayor Keckley and found the Council could meet with the Commission on August 18 at 9:00 a.m. (Saturday). Apparently there had been some con- fusion as to the Council meeting on this date but it now appeared possible. Chairman Schenck asked what the Commission would like to have on the agenda which they could discuss jointly with the Council. It was determined that the Commission would discuss with the Council the Commission's new committee structure and priorities. Charts will be prepared. The Park & Recreation Commission committee chart will be revised with the priorities and mailed in advance of the meeting to the City Council for their reaction and/or input. The meeting will probably be from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon with a Commission field trip scheduled for the afternoon. The Commission will have their reg- ular ~eeting August 8, 1973 and will then adjourn the meeting to Saturday, August 18. Public notice will be made of the joint meeting.
