He cited an excerpt from the text which in essence states that if the maintenance figure for the Parcourse exceeds $1,500 per year, the City has the option of terminating the agreement. Commissioner Slusser moved that the Commission require the Department of Parks & Recreation to review all eighteen (18) Parcourse stations assessing both the safety/liability factors and the yearly maintenance figures. If the cost of maintenance exceeds $1,500 per year, the City should exercise the option to terminate the agreement. Commissioner Mortensen seconded the motion. Discussion followed regarding the four stations (9, 10, 11 & 12), which are not located on City property, but owned by Redwood Shores. In answer to several questions, Director Griffiths stated that the Park and Recreation Department h~s been spending the monies for yearly upkeep; and the Redwood Shores property was returned to them in 1982 because the City was unable to maintain it. This property involves four to five acres of landscaping which someday the City may have to take over. Three of the stations were described as needing fairly extensive renovation. Director Griffiths stated that it would be no . problem to do an analysis. The motion was carried unanimously by a voice vote. The Commissioners and Director Griffiths agreed that the analysis and recommendation would be completed before the next regularly scheduled meeting. ITEM II - MEMORIAL TREES Commissioner Davis stated that he doubted there is enough income potential for this project to pay its own way. He expressed some of his co~cerns regarding the implementation of this project. It-was determined that a plaque would cost approximately $192.00. Director Griffiths stated that a tree costs $40.00 wholesale; and it costs $40.00 to put it in the ground. Director Griffiths stated that although this project would involve some administrative and maintenance costs, he thought it could be profitable. Other memorial items were mentioned such as Bar-b-ques, pathways, etc. Acting Chairperson Swope stated that the committee was formed to address these issues and to make a recommendation which the Commission could act upon. Matters of Comlssison Interest/Monthly Reports Commissioner Coste11i stated that he feels people will spend $200 to $400 to commemorate births, weddings, anniversaries, etc. rather than trees or other items dedicated in memorium only. He also reiterated the fact that he will be in Europe from May 31,1990 through October 12, 1990 and offered to give up his position for a replacement if the Commission prefers.
