.(.,/ A.( <br /> ty of � ` MEMORANDUM <br /> ty of <br /> 1k <br /> River TO: PARK & RECREATION COMMISSION <br /> FROM: PHIL HALS, STREET/PARK SUPT. <br /> DATE: APRIL 21, 1994 <br /> SUBJECT: JOINT MEETING TOPICS <br /> 1. Committee Assignments <br /> Park and Recreation Commission members are scheduled to attend <br /> meetings with the City Council on the third Monday of the month, the <br /> Planning Commission on the fourth Tuesday of the month and the <br /> Growth Management Task Force. <br /> 2. Park Dedication Fee Structure <br /> The Park and Recreation Commission would like to discuss the <br /> • financial disparity in the present park dedication system. Developers <br /> much prefer to pay cash for lots developed rather than donate ten <br /> percent of a parcel for park land. One possible solution is to raise the <br /> fees per lot so that it would more closely follow the property value. <br /> Staff is reviewing fees charged by other cities. <br /> 3. Redeveloping the Park Master Plan <br /> The Park and Recreation Commission and staff have spent many hours <br /> in developing a realistic and workable Master Park Plan. Steve Rohlf <br /> has done the research, assembly, and refining of the Plan as City staff, <br /> and the Park and Recreation Commission has incorporated their ideas. <br /> The last step before finalizing the Plan will be for staff and a <br /> committee of Commission members to visually inspect each proposed <br /> park site and trail for physical barriers and to evaluate actual <br /> constructability of facilities. <br /> 4. Additional Park Staff <br /> The Park and Recreation Commission members feel that parks are <br /> important and additional City staff is necessary to properly utilize our <br /> • park system. <br /> P.O.
