CALIFORNI'A PARKS AND RECREATION SOCIETY CONFERENCE <br /> <br />The C.P.R.S. Conference will be held at the Convention Center in San <br />Francisco on March 12-15,1987. Director Griffiths stated that we <br />have been allocated seven (7) slots for this conference, five (5) <br />for the staff and two (2) for the Commissioners. At this time only <br />three (3) staff members plan to attend thus creating the possibility <br />of enabling another Commissioner to attend. Commissioners Buchan and <br />Swope would like to participate as well as Commissioner Mortensen, if <br />it is feasible. <br /> <br />Director Griffiths gave an overview of the usual C.P.R.S~ program <br />format with additional comments offered by Commissioner Mortensen. <br /> <br />ITEM 2 - BUDGET HEARINGS <br /> <br />Director Griffiths explained that the City Manager recently informed <br />the City Departments that there will be a Mi.d-year Budget Review on <br />f'et)ruary 21, 1987. DepiJrtJnentdl ()t)~jl~ctives dB well as the current <br />status of the various sub-programs within the department will be <br />discussed. Since this is the second year of a two year budget, no <br />formal budgeting will be done except to project expenditures and <br />revise some sub-program allocations. Upon being questioned, Director <br />Griffiths stated that if the Council decides to act upon the Fifth <br />Avenue Storm Drain Project ($6,OOO,OOO/$8,OOO,OOO), several <br />existing capital improvement projects will be deferred, delayed or <br />dropped. <br /> <br />ITEM 3 - DONATION - FIRE TRUCK <br /> <br />Chairman Anderson has been talking with the P.C.A. regarding the fire <br />truck donation as they have a warehouse and cou].d use it for outdoor <br />events such as the 4th of July parade. Director Griffiths said that <br />he would check to see if it is in fact in running condition. It was <br />the general consensus that we let the donor know that we appreciate <br />his offer but because of the difficulties involved in maintenance <br />and vandalism problems we are not ab].e to accept it. We will try to <br />suggest other alternatives. <br /> <br />Co, <br /> <br />
