COMMUNICATIONS 1 • M E M O R A N D U M T0: Parks and Recreation Commission DATE: Feb. 2, 1987 FROM: Secretary, Parks and Recreation Commission SUBJECT: Meeting of February 2, 1987 At the January 12th meeting a public hearing was held on the problem of dogs in the parks. Commission decided, since leash laws were not being obeyed or enforced, to recommend to Council that dogs be banned from City parks. A draft of our recommendation to council will be available at tonight's meeting. The Commission's proposals for building a bridge for handicapped access to Wildwood Park and a group barbeque area at El Quito Park were submitted for CDBG funding. Tonight we will discuss these projects in further detail. We will also discuss possible projects to be funded by the Community Parklands Act of 1986. These funds may be used for a) rehabilitation, improvement or restoration of deteriorated roads, utilities and other structures & facilities within existing parks and recreational areas, b) neighborhood, community and regional parks, c) beaches and public accessways to beaches, d) historical sites and structures, e) recreational areas and facilities, f) hiking, bicycling and equestrian trails, g) development rights and scenic easements in connection with any acquisition made for any purpose specified in subdivisions (b) to (f) inclusive so long as the right or easement directly enhances the enjoyment or usefulness of the acquisition. Let's see if we can come up with some good ideas for projects which are eligible under these guidelines. Please contact Sharon if you will be unable to attend the meeting. ~,,~ ~/ c Dan Trinidad, Jr., Secret y Parks and Recreation Commission 1 l M E M O R A N D U M TO: Parks and Recreation Commission DATE: Jan. 12, 1987 FROM: Secretary, Parks and Recreation Commission SUBJECT: Meeting of January 12, 1987 Happy new year! A special thanks to John and Rena Saunders for the Christmas party. It was great. Commission Officers will be elected at tonight's meeting. Tonight, a public hearing to discuss the problems caused by dogs in the parks. Notices have been published and also sent to concerned citizens. The enclosed draft of the city-wide Parks and Recreation Survey is for your review. The Commission is-being asked for its input as to the adequacy of the form. Even though the deadline is January 12, we can still submit a project to be considered for Community Development Block Grant monies for FY 1987/88. Please feel free to make suggestions for a project you think might qualify under the guidelines enclosed in your packet. The City Manager has relieved Joan Pisani of her Library Commission responsibilities so that she can attend the Parks and Recreation Commission meetings. We hope that this will provide sufficient interface between departments to meet all the recreational needs within Saratoga. Due to a scheduling conflict, tonight's meeting wil l be held in the Arts and Crafts Room of the Community Center. Please contact Sharon if you will be unable to attend the meeting. 1 Parks and Recreation Commission
