Information Memo—November 10 <br /> Park and Recreation Commission <br /> Page 2 <br /> 2. BMX Facility <br /> The City Council approved the lease with the BMX group at its October 18, 1999. <br /> They concurred with the Commission's recommendation of having the group use the <br /> existing parking lot at the ERYAC fields. They also agreed with the proposed <br /> location of the track. <br /> 3. Lions Park Parking <br /> At its September 20, 1999 meeting, the City Council voted to limit parking at Lions <br /> Park to two hours during school hours and while school is in session. This was <br /> done at the request of the Police Chief. Chief Zerwas requested this action of the <br /> City Council due to a pedestrian/car accident on School Street as well as numerous <br /> close calls with the CSOs assigned to direct traffic during morning and afternoon <br /> rush hours. <br /> The Commission may recall that this was discussed in August and the Commission <br /> voted to allow unlimited parking by high school students at Lions Park. <br /> 4. Community Recreation <br /> Please refer to the attached memo from Pat Klaers, City Administrator, regarding <br /> Community Recreation. Work is almost complete on the offices at Emporium, and <br /> the website is up, so check out www.communityrecreation.com. <br /> There have been some incidents at the Emporium, and staff and the kids have <br /> established new ground rules for attendance at Emporium events (refer to attached <br /> memo dated October 25, 1999). <br /> 5.
