. i . . After questions by the Commissioners, Ms. Fairburn noted that 97-98% of the RCTCls members are Redwood City residents. She also explained that RSTC has never received any complaints about parking from residents at Dolphin Park. The group usually parks at Shorebird Park and carpools to Dolphin Park. RSTC runs various types of tournaments during the year and typically draws 25-40 people for each tournament. Director Griffiths explained that a copy of the playing schedule is given to the Redwood Shores Park crew so that the courts are ready before the tournaments are played. He mentioned that major repairs will be made to the Shorebird Park tennis courts later this year which probably would disrupt the tennis club1s tournament schedule. He will be in contact with the group when the work is scheduled later this year. Ms. Fairburn explained that although they have exclusive use of the tennis courts, they have never encountered any problems with other groups or residents wanting to use the courts. She also mentioned that one week prior to the tournament dates, signs are posted at Dolphin and Shorebird to advise the general public of the dates of play. MIS Swope/Truscelli: To allow Redwood Shores Tennis Club exclusive use of the Dolphin and Shorebird tennis courts for the dates requested during 1992. Motion passed. Commissioner Davis asked that since this is the third year the Redwood Shores Tennis Club has come to the Commission requesting exclusive use of the courts for tournaments, was it possible for the group not to have to come each year and make a presentation. The Commissioners agreed to leave it up to Director Griffiths to determine if the group needed to come each year. ITEM 2 - Union Cemetery Update Commissioner Swope said the Union Cemetery clean-up held on January 25 was a success and over 30 people participated. She said a great deal was accomplished and noted that some fittings and foundations were discovered during the clean-up. She said that Brìan-Kangas-Faulk made a successful aerial flyover and the preliminary mapping has been completed. Director Griffiths mentioned that he would be contacting Melinda Peak of Peak & Associates to determine when they would be able to begin work. Nita Spangler thanked Susan Swope and Peter Griffiths for their work on Union Cemetery. The preliminary mapping was set up and reviewed by the Commissioners. Commissioner Swope explained that Peak & Associates would direct the Commission on how to complete the inventory, relating historical data to what is there, assessing value and construct a Cultural Resource Plan (CRP). The CRP will indicate what should be repaired in the cemetery and how it should be repaired in order to retain its National Historic status. After the draft plan is developed, it will be presented to the Commission for approval before being presented to the City Council for final approval. Chairperson Slusser asked Commissioner Swope to contact the press regarding publicity of Union Cemetery as certain milestones are reached in the project. Commissioner Davis also commended Commissioner Swope and Director Griffiths for their work on this project. , ~. . , "-. , , ' ~ .' ..4,.«\:",,'.. :' ,,'., .-- ,,'-,,:-:.',-, ':, -
