þ f \ " .. . - Park and Recreation Commission Minutes of January 28, 2004 Page 3 -Do we charge businesses and non-profits. Non-profits should be no charge as well as schools. Need to be consistent in charging fees. Superintendent Beth asked the Commissioners if the Stafford Park Interim Rules should be incorporated into the new policy and the Commissioners agreed that there should be one consistent set of rules for all our parks. Superintendent Beth asked about allowing alcohol in parks and Commissioner Joseph mentioned that she and Commissioner Davis met with Police Chief Bolanos several years ago to discuss this topic and were given a negative response by Chief Bolanos. There was discussion on this matter. Superintendent Beth asked the Commission if they wished to have the program pay for a staff member to monitor the park sites as well as our fields. Commissioner Morton said that when people pay for an area, they want and expect the area to be clean, so we should consider monitoring the area. The Commissioners also discussed allowing "jumpers" in the parks. Staff will take the suggestions/comments and bring back a revised reservation policy and fee schedule to the February meeting. ITEM 4 - UPDATES -Spinas Park Superintendent Hover reported the successful re-dedication of Spinas Park was held on January 24. The park was well received by the community and looks great. -Pet Pa rade Commissioner Joseph stated the Pet Parade is scheduled for Saturday, April 3 and she is working with the same people from last year's event. Plans include: t-shirts for sale, Rescue booth, video, sponsors, agility course demonstration, and vendors. She will be attending a Shore Dogs meeting to work on plans for the event. Commissioner Joseph asked the Commissioners to sign-up to work at the event and noted that judges are needed. -Proposition 40 Superintendent Hover announced that Council approved our request to submit an application for Proposition 40 funds. Ideas of proposed projects using this funding will come back to the Commission for review. -Windmill Superintendent Hover has a draft agreement prepared for the San Mateo County Historic Museum but one of the obstacles is that there is no decision on what happens to the windmill after it is refurbished and who is going to take ownership. Commissioner Davis said he felt that the responsibility of the windmill project needs to be turned over to another community organization which has a focus on historic preservation. ,... -.
