. - 34 REPORT ITEM 4 - MonLthly Reports A. ~artmep.lt Mopth1y Reports Commissioner Schenck asked about the dedication of Community. Park. Mr. Weeks stated that he had talked to the City Manager and had indicated to him that the Committee's thought would be to wait, if possible, until after the second phase of development before the dedication was made. The City Manager concurred with this suggestion. In the mean- t~e, it was suggested that when the contract is awarded for second phase development that a ribbon cutting be held to end the first phase. Chairman Guida mentioned that the Minutes stated the initial design of Canyon Park would be underway by the end of July and he was interested in knowing if this was on schedule. Mr. Weeks stated that the contract had been signed and in reality was underway. The engineering data is being prepared by the Public Works Department. It was indicated that since Sequoia High School pool was losing 10,000 gallons of water per day, the pool had been closed. Community Pool has been opened Thursday evenings and Hoover Pool has been opened Monday through Friday daily and evenings (12:30 noon to 8:00 p.m.) to help carry the extra sw~ing traffic. With Hoover Pool opened during the evenings, the public is being better served in that area and it is hoped that the vandalism will be curtailed. Mr. Weeks mentioned the excellent cooperation received from Pacific Pump Company. Hoover Pool was back in operation in half the time est~ated. Mr. Paulson also thanked Commissioner Schenck and the YMCA for providing two lifeguards who are presently working evenings at Hoover Pool. Commissioner Schenck stated that he appreciated the opportunity for the YMCA to participate. His goal, he stated, has always been to have agencies working together to better serve the public. Wilderness Camp was discussed. First camp enrollment was about twelve participants. Commissioner Rollins felt that since the program was such an excellent one and the camp so beautiful, that full enrollment should be stressed if possible. He felt all children should have the opportunity of attending camp and suggested contacting the Little League organizations in an effort to have them attend in teams. Chairman Guida offered to send the Pop Warner list of names to Bill Paulson in order that these Little Leaguers may be contacted. The name "Wilderness Camp" was discussed. Commissioner Rollins suggested that the name "wilderness" might frighten some of the younger from attending and he suggested naming the camp "Fun Time Camp" or something similar. Commissioner Schenck and Commissioner Pound felt the name "wilderness" fit the description of the camp. Mr. Weeks mentioned that it was not the intent to mislead anyone. Forest Camp was also suggested as an alternative. Commissioner Pound felt the name "wilderness" was appropriate. MOTION: Commissioner Schenck moved that the Department Monthly Reports be accepted as written, seconded by Commissioner Pound. The motion carried unanimously by voice vote. ------_..._~~-~-----_'___'m" ._.. d._,."_- ,-, -" -- ",'" ..." , ',' " , .... -".." - .,-,--,-" -,_..,-_. ,-, -~_..- - --- --.- "-.------~----"--"-"'-'-"'-"----'--'-'-'~.-----'~--'-~-"~-~-,._--,----,.,--
