AGENDA AGENDA ITEM 1 - Review of P~an for Proposed Red Morton Memorial Commissioner Schenck called attention to the Minutes of the meeting on page 8. The Community Park Committee has had two meetings since the last Commission meeting. The first meeting the Committee toured the park and a site was suggested for the Red Morton Memorial. Also discussed was phase two. The major concern with regard to the park is that it is so segmented and has so many different names (i.e., Bechet Field, McGarvey Field, etc.). The Committee suggested calling the park Red Morton Community Park and having a small plaque at each field location with some interesting information about the person the field was named after. Commissioner Schenck requested input from the Commission. Commissioner Weintraub felt it was a good idea and not political. Chairman Guida had reservations because the fields were named for a reason and his reservations will be met if a plaque is placed for each field. Commissioner Schenck mentioned that after phase two, a dedication of the entire park should be made. Commissioner Schenck also showed a model of the Red Morton Memorial being proposed. Red MOrton was the first director of Recreation in Redwood City. Chairman Guida stated he was pleased with the plans for the memorial. Commissioner Weintraub asked what provision for color around the memorial had been made. Mr. Weeks stated the details of the color scheme have not been worked out yet but that the area will be landscaped. The memorial was discussed briefly. It is to be a seating area. Commissioner Rollins felt the architect did an excellent job making the Commission's ideas visual. Commissioner Weintraub was concerned about the surface appearance and Mr. Weeks indicated the area would be treated for aesthetic effect. , ~y-____n______-~--' ---------- --------- ____.n______--------"-.-.-.. - --".,--, _._---~._-----~-_.._--~--_...._,'.,-,'- ",_.,-,-,._----- -- ...- -,- ,,-"-~. - -----,- --- r ---.___-"n ~_.~_.-
