Park and Recreation Commission Meeting Date: 04/11/2013 By: Mark Riverblood, Engineering/Public Works 5. 4. Title: Consider Park and Recreation Commission Outdoor Meeting Schedule Background: For many years, the Park and Recreation Commission have held regular meetings outdoors in the months of May through September (weather permitting). This provided the Commission an opportunity to inspect and comment on parks and projects as a group, and it afforded residents' access to the Commission on a neighborhood level. On the occasions of inclement weather, the Commission would hold the regular meetings at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall. The purpose of this case is to confirm the Commission's desire for outdoor meetings in 2013 and, if so, what the locations will be. The following is a partial proposed schedule with an opportunity noted in brackets as a rationale — if the Commission agrees to continue meeting in parks for the summer. May: Elmcrest Park (Discuss Building and Playground projects) June: July: North Commons (Review play structure and phase II progress) August: Riverdale Park (Inspect shelter and restroom project) September: The Draw (Park Patron Picnic) After the Commission decides where the meetings will be held, their locations will be published in the Ramsey Resident newsletter and on the web. Notification: Observations/Alternatives: Funding Source: None required Staff Recommendation: Action: Determine whether outdoor meetings are desired for 2013 — and if so the locations.
