Park and Recreation Commission Minutes of July 24, 2002 Page 4 -4th of July Parade Superintendent Hover announced the Commission received 2nd place in the Commercial/Municipal Float Division and a $300.00 prize check. The check will go towards reimbursement of materials for the float. ITEM 2 - REDWOOD SHORES LAGOONS Superintendent Hover provided a memo to the Commissioners with a list of agencies and groups responsible for the lagoons in Redwood Shores along with an article from the Pilot written by Gina Sanchez. He gave a history of the lagoons and spoke about a revocable permit issued recently to Gina Sanchez and approved by the Council. Director Centeno stated that previously there were several "gentlemen's agreements" for various groups to use the lagoons but there is no one group responsible for the lagoons. She felt that unless the other groups want the City to decide jurisdiction, that we should let the groups work out their issues. She noted that Gina Sanchez was asked to obtain approval from the Redwood Shores Homeowners Association, the Owner's Association, and the Architectural Design Board before the permit was requested and approved by City Council. Beth Beach, a Redwood Shores resident and a rower, spoke about the current situation on the lagoons and asked if there was a point person or group to schedule events on the lagoons. She also felt that the people on the lagoons should have a voice in what happens on the lagoons. Public Works Services Director Peter Ingram spoke about his department's responsibility in maintaining the Redwood Shores lagoons. He noted the City works with the San Mateo County Health Department on health issues regarding the lagoons. The City also is granted a permit from the Regional Water Quality Control Board for the lagoons and the City works very hard to stay in complian'ce with the terms of the permit. There was discussion about the lagoons and access to the lagoons by the public. Commissioner Swope and Davis agreed that the City does not need to become involved with this matter unless requested and that the groups involved should work out their issues themselves. ITEM 4 - DISCUSSION OF PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION CALENDAR A revised calendar was provided to each of the Commissioners. The Park Rules Task Force and Windmill Sub-Committees will meet on August 8. ..
