l ~ Park and Recreation Commission Minutes of August 25, 2004 Page 2 had indicated that the enclosure was not impacted by the moratorium. Staff agreed to get Ms. Beach a written response regarding this issue. Lastly, Director Centeno explained how she was doing research as to how these guidelines could best be implemented within the City system. The Director noted that any suggested implementation would come to the Commission and then to the City Cou ncil. CURRENT BUSINESS ITEM 1 - Interim Rules at Stafford Park - Report from Subcommittee Commissioner White distributed copies of a written report, a copy of which is attached to these minutes. The subcommittee was charged with a review of park ordinances and Stafford Park Rules, to develop a plan of action to move forward, and to include the neighborhood; and that while the subcommittee continues to meet, the picnic reservation system will take precedence. The recommended action was to hold two community meetings, one for the Stafford Park Neighborhood dealing with issues and the interim rules and one for the broader community dealing with issues at any of the City Parks and bring back recommendation for changes at an October or November Commission meeting. Commissioner Swope commented that she was unclear how useful it would be to go to the Stafford Park neighborhood without a recommended new set of rules, so that if we are asking for consensus to remove the interim rules it would be clear what new rules will be imposed. Commissioner Slusser expressed his support for Commissioner Swope's comments noting that he would like the subcommittee to take a closer look at the process for dealing with this issue. Commissioner Swope appreciated the work of the subcommittee and hoped they would come back with a proposal based on this discussion. Director Centeno confirmed that the subcommittee was being asked to look at all park rules, get community input for changes and leave any proposed changes to Stafford rules until that review is accomplished with the exception of the picnic reservation system having precedence over the Stafford large group policy. Commissioner Morton arrived at 8: 15 p.m. Director Centeno indicated that staff would be happy to provide the subcommittee with information on the hot issues in the parks and is ready to provide support. ITEM 2 - Strategic Plan - Report from Subcommittee Susan Swope presented the written report (attached), which recommended that the Executive Summary be sent to all groups, which provided input with an offer to make a presentation and an additional group of stakeholders.
