Pursuant to Government Code 54954.2, the agenda for this
meeting was properly posted on March 3, 1988.
Commission received a compilation of information on
park use fees from surrounding communities. Based on
this information, it was felt that no change in rental
fees for picnics and weddings should be made at this
time. However, a definition of the length of a season
and a fee per use rather than per person be established
for use of playing fields. Also discussed was a
processing fee for non-residents. Commissioner Pierce
moved that the Comnmission recommend that Council set a
fee schedule for all playing fields at $15 per use for
residents and $25 per use for non-residents. The
motion was unanimously approved. Staff will bring a
final report for Commission's approval before
presenting it to Council.
Dan described difference in Median Master Plan and the
revised plan submitted by the developer and explained
reasons for the modifications. Commissioner Saunders
moved to approve the modified plan. The Commission
unanimously approved the modified plan.
Dan displayed the developer's map of the location and
recommended that no special conditions be placed on the
developer. The Commission unanimously approved the
recomendation.
Georgina Meehan, president of the West Valley Aquatic
Team, was present to request the Commission's support
in a request for the City of Saratoga's help in
promoting the team in newsletters or recreation flyer,
fund replacement of equipment, provide a training room
and video equipment to use at least once a month. Dan
suggested the Commission recommend to Council that a
discount rate for a training room be figured and that we
provide use of our video machine. Dan and Joan will get
together with Georgina to come up with some low cost or
no direct cost type benefits the City may be able to
provide and come back to the Commission and see if the
Commission wants to make a recommendation to Council.
Pepsi Cola donated two 5' high, 15' wide scoreboards to
Saratoga Little League. Since they are 5' wider than
the signs that were planned, they will interfere with
the soccer fields. Dan suggested that they be placed in
left center field, parallel to the corridor. The
Commission unanimously approved erecting the signs at
that location.
A. Roger Clemens reported on the C.P.R.S. Conference.
Roger brought back audio tapes for the Commissioners to
hear.
