City Council Minutes <br />April 2, 2018 <br />Page 9 <br />Mayor Dietz questioned the process and whether users would give their needs to the <br />subcommittee to bring to the Commission. <br />Commissioner Anderson stated this hadn't been determined yet but there was <br />discussion about park stewards bringing in nominations. <br />Mayor Dietz questioned how many members would be on the subcommittee. <br />Commissioner Anderson stated 6-8 people but it could be opened up wider to the <br />community. <br />Councilmember Westgaard expressed concern and questioned if Mr. Anderson <br />thought the Parks and Recreation Commission would not be getting public input. He <br />stated the Commission will make the recommendation of what will go in the park. <br />He provided the example if he was park steward of Hillside City Park and there were <br />improvements he wanted done at the park, he would then assemble a team and <br />decide what should get built. <br />Commissioner Anderson stated the stewards would participate in the decision- <br />making process but will not make the decisions. <br />Councilmember Westgaard stated if the Commission is the lead entity; why not <br />utilize the same process used for other projects. <br />Commissioner Anderson stated you pull individuals from those stakeholder groups <br />to represent the groups. <br />Councilmember Westgaard questioned where the challenge is for Commissioner <br />Anderson. <br />Commissioner Anderson stated there shouldn't be one but staffs recommendation <br />was to exclude public participation other than the commission from this process. He <br />stated he asked for a discussion on this matter for four months and it was never <br />added to an agenda. <br />Councilmember Oval] questioned if there is something precluding Commissioner <br />Anderson from having the commission handle the project because their meetings are <br />open to the public. <br />Commissioner Anderson stated there's no difference between either the Commission <br />or the subcommittee handling the process other than it's a named stakeholders <br />group but they would be assigned tasks versus asking people to come to a <br />commission meeting. <br />tarFeci r� <br />NATURE <br />
