Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes Page 2 <br /> October 17,2023 <br /> Commissioner Anderson asked for more information regarding the vandalism at the skate park. Mr. <br /> Hecker shared the lighting control box was broken and the irrigation control box was also damaged. <br /> Staff are working to move the two control boxes into a secure area, such as a mechanical building like <br /> the one at the splash pad. <br /> Commissioner Anderson asked about the work being done at Hillside Park. Mr. Hecker said some <br /> improvements are being made and confirmed they are also making some changes to the design to <br /> reduce maintenance in the future. <br /> Mr. Hecker shared that he attended the National Recreation and Parks Association Conference last <br /> week in Dallas and his main emphasis was to look at master planning.The process has changed since <br /> we did our last plan in 2015 and it should include what the public needs,not just wants. There are <br /> other types of analysis they do now in addition to the statistically valid needs assessment which is an <br /> important part of the process. <br /> Commissioner Loidolt shared he was excited to read about the athletic facilities tour. Mr. Hecker said <br /> they learned quite a bit on the tour and shared some things with HKGi.There should be a meeting <br /> soon for the Athletic Facilities Master Plan Committee. <br /> 7. Announcements <br /> Commissioner Anderson shared the Nystrom property along Proctor,across from Salk Middle <br /> School,will be developed eventually. He thinks the Commission should focus on the trail master plan <br /> for that area since there is only parking on the west side of the road, across from the baseball fields, <br /> and he is concerned about someone getting hit while crossing to the east side of the road to get to the \„._, <br /> ball fields. <br /> Commissioner Loidolt agrees there is not enough parking and people park on the west side of Proctor <br /> since there is no parking on the east side and suggests looking at getting better parking for the fields. <br /> Commissioner Niziolek shared we need to create a controlled or semi controlled intersection for <br /> pedestrians to cross,which seems to be the Salk Middle School exit. <br /> Mr. Stremcha stated we will add this to a future agenda item as a talking point and bring up the Trails <br /> Master Plan as a focus point. <br /> 8. Motion to Adjourn <br /> Moved by Commissioner Loidolt and seconded by Commissioner Anderson to adjourn the <br /> meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission. Motion carried 4-0. <br /> The meeting was adjourned at 6:46 p.m. <br /> P1 / E1E1 11 <br /> NATURE <br />
