Park & Recreation Commission î Minutes of July '28, 1999 . Page 2 ITEM 1- STULSAFT PARK UPDATE .Consultant's Report Superintendent Hover reported that today he received a draft report and voluntary correction action agreement from the consultant which he needs to review. He noted that a meeting was held in June with the consultant which was very informative. He confirmed that $400,000 has been allocated for soil remed iation at Stu Isaft. .Stu Isaft Restrooms Susie Peyton spoke about the draft restroom renovation proposal which was brought to the Commission prior to the mercury issue at Stulsaft Park and asked what the status was on the proposal. She felt that with the size and focus of the new playground at Stulsaft, that there is a definite need for a restroom at this site. Ms. Peyton also suggested that Stulsaft Park could be the first in a pilot program for single stall restrooms in our parks. She also noted that Stulsaft and Stafford Parks both will have water features included in their design and a restroom would also be a place for children to change their clothes. Commissioner Davis said the proposal needs to be reviewed once again and agreed to meet with Superintendent Hover to work on this matter. Superintendent Hover stated that our current restroom replacement program is for existing park restrooms and two restrooms per year will be renovated in this program. He felt that a financial analysis of this proposal needs to be done before proceeding and noted that there is no funding in the Stulsaft project for a restroom. Ms. Peyton said she can raise money to fund a restroom at Stulsaft Park. Commissioner Davis and Superintendent Hover will formulate a plan to be discussed at the August meeting. ITEM 2 - REPORT FROM SUB-COMMITTEES -Alcohol in Parks Commissioner LaBerge stated that Commissioner Joseph will now be on this sub-committee and Commissioner Slusser will be on the goals and objectives sub-committee. Commissioner LaBerge presented the Commissioners with a list of suggestions regarding alcohol in the parks developed by the sub-committee. He noted that Commissioner Davis will be meeting with a representative from the Police Department to gather information regarding alcohol in the parks from their perspective. Commissioner LaBerge stated that the sub~committee will meet again after Commissioner Davis's meeting. Commissioner Joseph is gathering information from other cities regarding their regulations on alcohol in the parks. Commissioner LaBerge stated that new park signage is needed and suggested changing the wording on our park signs to reflect that alcohol is only allowed by permit. The Commissioners discussed this and fett that they wanted to hold off on the signs for right now. Superintendent Hover said that we do not take reservations for our parks so it would be very hard to monitor a permit process for alcohol in the parks. -Goals and Objectives/Strategic Planning Commissioner Swope reported this sub~committee will be meeting soon and will have a report by the next meeting.
