Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes Page 3 <br /> April 10,2024 <br /> Moved by Commissioner Stewart and seconded by Commissioner Varty to approve option C <br /> as the winner of the 2024 Farmers Market Coloring Contest. Motion carried 6-0. <br /> 7.3 Parks and Recreation Commission Ordinance Review <br /> Mr. Stremcha shared that staff would like to reclarify and confirm how each of the powers and duties <br /> will be acted on or implemented to ensure the successful fulfillment of the following recommended <br /> changes. <br /> • Assist with the promotion of city parks,trails,and recreational facilities. <br /> • Collaborate with external organizations to ensure the offering of an appropriate array of <br /> recreation opportunities for the youth and adults of the city. <br /> • Collaborate with city staff to ensure the proper maintenance and development of city parks, <br /> trails,and recreation facilities. <br /> Mr. Stremcha explained that for the first bullet point"Assist with the promotion of parks,trails,and <br /> recreational facilities"it would be helpful to discuss as a Commission how those will be acted on and <br /> if it's necessary to keep or would you want to remove it. <br /> Commissioner Loidolt said the intent is to not get in the way of but to promote events.The <br /> commission is not going out to sell the trails,parks,and recreational facilities. <br /> Mr. Stremcha said in the last revision vandalism was incorporated,is that something that's inherent <br /> --� based on the person wanting to make sure we promote things or not vanclali7e, or is that specific to <br /> this Commission that we're makylg it an initiative to address? If it's inherent in a civilian perspective <br /> versus a commission perspective,we should make note of that. Either include it because of x,y,z or <br /> remove it. <br /> Chair Anderson stated community connection is one of the key roles and thinks it should be a natural <br /> part of this role and thinks it should be left in. <br /> Commissioner Niziolek thinks all commissioners promote the parks and wouldn't be on the <br /> Commission if we didn't do this. <br /> Mr. Stremcha asked how that is different as a civilian versus a commissioner.What would be the <br /> different actions taken to fulfill the duty,beyond what a volunteer and the community would do? If <br /> the commission wants it in there,let's have a rationale behind it. How is it going to be executed? <br /> Council Member Beyer shared that assist with the promotion is a strong statement which means being <br /> an assistant and suggested changing it to support the promotion. <br /> Commissioner Loidolt said assist means you are required to be at the events to help with the <br /> promotion,but we are not required. <br /> Mr. Stremcha shared the next bullet point"Collaborate with external organizations to ensure the <br /> offering of an appropriate array of recreation opportunities for the youth and adults of the city."We <br /> need to define that specific role and responsibility for the duties. <br /> OIEREa er <br /> NATURE <br />
