The Adjourned Meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission was called to order by Chairman Caswell at 5:00 p.m. in the Auditorium at Live Oak Park, 10144 Bogue Street, Temple City. 2. Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was not conducted due to lack of Flag. 3. ROLL CALL: PRESENT: 4, UNFINISHED BUSINESS • • ABSENT: Commissioners Adams, Burlingame, Crump, Shaw and Caswell None ALSO PRESENT: Victor B. Kobett, Director, Parks and Recreation 4. LIVE OAK PARK IMPROVEMENT Chairman Caswell informed the Commission that the purpose of this meeting was to review with Randy Meyer of Recreation Systems, Inc., the proposed improvements for the Park. He then called on Mr. Meyer for his presentation, Mr. Meyer began with a discussion on the proposed wood floor in the auditorium. He pointed out that the original drawings of the Park do not show a moisture barrier under the founda- tion which could present problems to flooring of any type. However, he stated, the existing vinyl flooring in adjacent rooms show no signs of damage due to moisture so flooring should be relatively safe. The Commission expressed concern with a built -up floating floor as it would be several inches high requiring extensive remodeling or replacement of doors and door casings and installation of ramps. The Commission felt the best and most economical approach would be a direct glue -down wood parquet or vinyl tile floor. A discussion of the water damaged South wood wall identified . several approaches for repairing... The- Commission expressed most interest in removal of the ,existing paneling as it could not be matched, then plastering and- =applying a vinyl wall covering. Mr. Meyer then discussed the movable room divider. He pointed out that the moval wall, when not in use, must be stacked either in the room or a closed area constructed onto the room area to accommodate it. The Commission was concerned with the wall being stored inside the room as it would require using a 5' x 6' space and disrupt the use of the room. The built -on shed to accommodate the room was also a concern as two windows would have to be removed and the added -,on area would not complement the building. In response to Commission's questions, Mr. Meyer indicated the cost for the movable wall would be between $18,000. and $25,000. The cost estimate was concerning to the Commission as the projected use of the room divider was uncertain and also the need may change if the existing City Hall is convered to a Community Center in the near future as has been discussed. PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION -2- JANUARY 31, 1983 The final proposed improvement discussed was the patio shade shelter and related patio improvements. Mr. Myer described the proposed patio covering and concurred with the Commission to include covering the stage area. Also, discussed was the removal of the existing gate areas and replacement with tubular steel, removal of portions of the existing block wall and replacement with tubular steel and the installation of an additional concrete walkway to the parking lot from the north patio gate. This concluded Mr. Myer's presentation. The Commission expressed their appre- ciation to Mr. Meyer for an excellent presentation. Chairman Caswell requested the Commission to study the project based on the information obtained this evening and be prepared to retain or revise the original project concept at a special meeting to be called for this pur- pose.
