6. NEW BUSINESS: None
7. COMMUNICATIONS:
A. CORRESPONDENCE RECEIVED FROM BUD ADAMS.
Vice Chairman Sternquist noted the correspondence and re-
ceived for file.
B. CORRESPONDENCE RECEIVED FROM DOUG WILEY TO ADDRESS THE
COMMISSION REGARDING FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE SURFACE OF THE
BASKETBALL COURTS AT LIVE OAK PARK.
Doug Wiley, 6303 N. Golden West, he expressed a concern
regarding the slippery basketball courts at Live Oak Park
and passed out a packet to each Commissioner. The packet
included statements from thirty nine basketball players
stating their opinion of the conditions of the surface on
the basketball courts at Live Oak Park. Mr. Wiley had spent
ten hours of research and netted a total of twenty six
documented injuries. Also attached was a petition signed by
over 100 informing the Commission that they "feel the sur-
face is very dangerous due to being slippery. Even with
acid treatments which soon wear off, the surface remains a
hazard to their safety. They would greatly appreciate
coating the cement court with non -skid material like the
tennis courts." The packet also contained letters from
Muscle Beach, Venice, CA; Taylor Tennis Courts and various
cities expressing the advantage of courts resurfaced with a
non skid material. In conclusion, Mr. Wiley was of the
opinion the courts are ice slippery.
John Gottuso, 370 W. Las Flores, Arcadia,. stated the lights
turn off at 9:00 p.m. and felt the City was trying to dis-
courage play on the courts. He stated he plays on the
courts three .times a week and in his opinion the courts are
slippery.
Commissioner Crump made a motion to table the request to the
next Commission meeting on November 20, 1991, and refer the
matter to staff to analyze, research and investigate the
matter and prepare a report for the next Commission meeting.
Seconded by Commissioner Caswell, and unanimously carried.
Vice Chairman Sternquist stated that she understood Mr.
Gottuso's frustration and believed he had a valid request
for the Commission to investigate the condition of the
surface on the basketball court.
Commissioners Caswell and Crump concurred and requested that
information be presented by staff at the next meeting to
permit a recommendation to the City Council if the Commis-
sion elects to do so.
