MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONOPARK <br />Monday, July 7, 2014 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />Mack stated he would concur with Mr. Gaffron's comments and that the Park Commission is not typically <br />under the Planning Department but is usually under the auspices of Public Works, which would be the <br />right place for Staff support. <br />Mack stated he would look at the rip -rap on Carman that was discussed earlier, and if work was done that <br />was not authorized by the City, Staff will look into that. <br />Meyers stated he likes the idea of having someone from the Public Works Department be associated with <br />the Park Commission and attend the meetings. Meyers stated he would like to vote on the motion and let <br />the City Council decide. <br />Lindahl stated she is hesitant to approve the motion since it involves more work for Staff. <br />Meyers stated it might perhaps be better to have the input of the full Park Commission and that perhaps <br />they should defer action on it until later. <br />The above motion was withdrawn. <br />Lindahl asked if it would be better to have a special meeting once in a while rather than a regular monthly <br />meeting. <br />Meyers stated the City Council could call a special meeting of the Park Commission if necessary. <br />Meyers stated he would also encourage the Park Commission to review the Comprehensive Plan, which is <br />available on the City's website as well as previous park minutes. <br />McMillan stated the Park Commission could also set up a work session to work on things like the park <br />maintenance standards. <br />Berg asked why the meetings are at 7:00. <br />McMillan stated the meetings could be scheduled earlier if the Park Commission chooses. <br />Gaffron indicated he could be available as early as 5:00. <br />Berg stated she would recommend moving the Park Commission meeting time up. <br />McMillan suggested asking the rest of the Park Commission for their input prior to a decision being <br />made. <br />10. OTHER <br />Gaffron noted City Code says that the Park Commission is to be composed of seven members who serve <br />staggered three year terms. The director of public services and one council member shall be members of <br />the Commission ex officio and without vote and are in addition to the seven member Commission. <br />Gaffron stated the Park Commission can make the recommendation to the City Council to reduce it to <br />five members but that it technically would require a code change. <br />Page 10 of 11 <br />
