MINUTES OF THE PARK COMMISSION ME�fiINQ 0� N�V�M@€� �� ���� <br /> (#8) CRYSTAL BAY PLAYGROUND <br /> Cliff Swenson was present. He noted that he has ideas on how to <br /> run the public information meeting for the Crystal Bay site. He <br /> felt that it could be structured such as the Governor ' s Design <br /> Team which actually gets people together to solicit ideas. He <br /> suggested that it is much like a brainstorm session, but felt <br /> that word should be avoided when publishing the meeting. He <br /> noted that it is important prior to the meeting to instill the <br /> idea that community members' opinions do count and will be heard. <br /> He noted that at the beginning of the meeting the attendants <br /> should be informed of the surrounding features of the site and be <br /> shown maps to make them aware of available resources. Then <br /> public input on ideas for development would be asked for and <br /> recorded on a board for all to see. <br /> Chair Flint noted that at the Council ' s meeting of October 14th, <br /> he asked the Council what they wanted as far as a public meeting <br /> for input on development of the Crystal Bay site. He noted that <br /> Jabbour favored an overall park plan and had thought that was <br /> what the Commission was proposing when they suggested the <br /> information meeting. He noted that the Council instructed Moorse <br /> to set up a group to work on a comprehensive park plan. Moorse <br /> asked Flint to list in a memo issues related to a comprehensive <br /> plan that the Commission would like to see resolved. <br /> Wilson noted that it is hard to develop a specific site without a <br /> comprehensive plan. <br /> Swenson felt that it would be beneficial to focus on an overall <br /> park plan at this time. <br /> Bradley asked if there were time constraints on development of <br /> the Crystal Bay site. <br /> Chair Flint noted that the Council had stated that they are not <br /> in a rush to develop a plan for the Crystal Bay site. He felt <br /> there were a lot of mixed views expressed by the Council on an <br /> overall comprehensive plan. <br /> Kokal asked if a consultant would be hired to facilitate with the <br /> development of a comprehensive plan. <br /> Chair Flint noted that Moorse favors development of an overall <br /> park plan to be reviewed by a consultant. Flint asked that the <br /> minutes of the October 14th Council meeting be sent to all <br /> Commission members. <br /> Gerhardson asked if the Council .should be asked about the urgency <br /> of development of the Crystal Bay site. Flint felt that they <br /> should meet with Moorse first. <br /> 9 <br />
