Committee members Martens, Grote, and Coyle answered the roll call. Chair declared a quorum present. Also attending were Administrator Schmidt, Recreation Director Baker, Mike McGee, Cathy Martin, and Laurie Simplot -Braun. Chair congratulated Martens on his reappointment to committee for another term. II. POSSIBLE RELOCATION OF VOLLEYBALL COURT - LEGACY PARK Mike McGee informed the committee that he and several friends used the volleyball court at Legacy Park about 10 times after it was installed. Mr. McGee was very impressed with the construction but stated that the court was in need of netting or fencing to keep volleyballs from falling off the drop-off located at the southwest corner of Legacy Park. Due to the fact that Mr. McGee used the court around 12:00 noon he never had any problem getting on the court. The only complaint Mr. McGee had was that the sand at the current court is much to coarse and hurts player's feet. Finally, Mr. McGee stated that although he loves the current location of the court, he would not oppose relocation as long as the new court is installed with equal specifications(level) as the current court. He also noted that volleyball appears to be a popular sport and that reopening the old volleyball court site at Mill Park could be justified by the demand. Committee members discussed the high cost of relocation (attached) and believes there are more options to consider than relocating or building a screening wall near the McCall Mall. Members agreed that their original directive to staff was to furnish the committee with a number of options, not just one and expressed disappointment that the directive had not been carried out. Further discussion covered the following topics: 1. The committee wondered whether the court could be placed farther east so the retaining wall would not have to be built creating another drop-off like the one near the current court. Chair Killen expressed concern that relocating the court to the proposed site would rob the park of valuable beach front. She also noted that the proposed location would interfere with access to the dock near the site and that the retaining wall would be an eyesore. 2. Grote said she sympathized with Mr. Findlay's problem and thought that the design problems at the new location could be worked out, but noted that such extraordinary expenses are not budgeted for and may require a fund raising effort by concerned parties to finance the relocation. 3. Administrator Schmidt suggested that since it is Mr. Findlay who feels it is critical to move the court, perhaps he should help pay for relocation. At this time chair with consent of the committee tabled the relocation until the next meeting and asked staff to contact Mr. Findlay and Bill Keating to request that they both attend the next meeting to discuss and explore a fuller range of alternes. Chair also asked to have anyone wishing to comment on the relocation do so in writing and drop it off at City Hall. Chair informed the committee that she's noticed run-off erosion in Legacy Park near the - proposed volleyball court site. Administrator Schmidt said that he would discuss the problem with Public Works staff and report their assessment to the committee. III. PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT AT MILL PARK - LAURIE SIMPLOT-BRAUN Committee member Coyle handed out Dr. Hammersley's(playground safety expert) reply(attached) to the design and Laurie Simplot -Braun distributed the letter from Wildwood Playgrounds stating the company's equipment meets the 1992 U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Standards. Chair Killen informed the committee that she had contacted both Mr. Gillespie and the Mill Park Condominiums. Killen said Mr. Gillespie was not going to attend the meeting but he felt it would be fun to have the equipment and kids in Mill Park. Cathy Martin was in attendance representing Mill Park Condos and stated that the condo owners were opposed to the installation of playground equipment due to the following concerns. 1. Kids are attracted to the logs in the water near Mill Park and may get hurt playing on them. 2. Drop off on the West side of the park is dangerous. 3. Vandalism in Mill Park may increase if the playground equipment attracts older youth at night. 4. Noise will increase near the condos. 5. Parking is already limited and with more people using Mill Park, the parking may bleed over into the condo parking lot. 6. Quiet is Mill Park's biggest attraction and playground equipment may ruin this attraction. Chair noted that she had neglected to notify anyone representing Mr. Manchester prior to the meeting but would contact Manchester and notify him that the issue would be on the next council meeting agenda should he wish to comment. After discussion concerning vandalism, lighting, fencing, possible benefits to Mill Park as well as the condos and the condo's concerns, Grote moved to recommend council approve the placement of playground equipment in Mill Park at the location shown on the plans with the committee reviewing final construction plans prior to installation, and when the equipment is dedicated to the city that the city accept full responsibility and maintenance. Finally, committee recommends council create a special account to hold monies raised. Seconded by Coyle, and the motion carried unopposed. IV. MINUTES - OCTOBER 19, 1992 1. Council Action. a. Drafting of a Garnett Beach agreement was assigned to city attorney. b. Council directed administrator to contact Hoyle but the Council does not believe they have to purchase the property to comply with the conversion. c. Council informed administrator that the swim buoys at Legacy Park was included in the monies raised if the Old Golf Clubhouse site is sold. d. Administrator informed the committee that the Council would now like hold off on selling the Old Golf Clubhouse site due to the fact the city may want to purchase it from parks to build a water refining system on. 2. Adoption After review and discussion Martens moved to adopt the October 19, 1992 minutes as written. Seconded by Grote, and the motion carried. V. FINANCIAL REPORTS Chair informed the committee that she has requested a conference with the mayor but has not yet received an appointment to discuss the park's budget. VI. STAFF REPORTS 1. Administrator a. Administrator informed the committee that he is currently working on a new housing development called the Woodlands located near the proposed new school site, and that a eight(8) acre area has been identified and will be recommended for dedicated public park area. b. Administrator informed committee that staff has been directed to construct an ice rink on the lake. After discussing the following concerns; 1. Why has the committee not been notified of this prior to implementation? It is the committees understanding that park and recreation issues are supposed to come before the committee prior to development and implementation. 2. Any time park's and recreation monies are to be spent on new developments the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee should have comment. 3. The budgets have been set for expenditures. How will this affect other budget priorities? 4. Committee noted that ice skating has been the subject of repeated committee discussion and that the reason the park and recreation committee has never asked for funding for ice skating is because the committee concluded last year that the cost of maintaining an uncovered ice rink is higher than the demand for it. Martens noted that the committee invested staff time to research ice skating last year and that staff did not include Legacy Park in its recommendations(reference Park & Recreation committee minutes, January 14, 1992). Martens cited personal experience with maintaining ice rinks and warned that the methods Director Baker said he would use to create and maintain the ice rink would produce an unacceptable result. Committee members wonder why all this research and reasoning is being ignored. Grote moved to recommend council request committee comments before authorizing expenditures to construct an ice rink. Seconded by Martens, and the motion carried unopposed. Following the motion, Chair Killen and member Grote expressed for the record their disappointment that Director Baker allocated his time to assist the construction and maintenance of this ice rink without considering the opinions of this committee and ignoring his own recommendation on the subject. Killen and Grote felt that even though the committee has no direct authority over Baker, he still has an obligation to seek the committees opinions and to represent those opinions in his dealings with public officials and citizens. If that is not the case, the committee has lost its function. Martens said that he would likely have not renewed his term had he known the committee would be lift out of the loop in this manner. c. Administrator informed the committee that the Police Dept. had decided to place "No Skateboarding" signs in Legacy Park. After committee agreed that they had not made a recommendation and Administrator Schmidt informed them that there is not a no skateboarding ordinance in parks law, chair with consent of committee requested Recreation Director talk with Chief Parker and Bi11 Keating to find out if there were any complaints and why the signs were installed. 2. Recreation Director a. Committee reviewed the Recreation Department's user hour figures and questioned why hours were down from last year. Director informed the committee it was due to the fact that the Recreation Department was unable to negotiate with the new owner of the bowling alley and had to cancel the bowling program, Skyhawks Soccer Academy was canceled due to lack of participation and the adult volleyball program had a severe drop in attendance. VII. NEW BUSINESS 1. Donna Keithley - representative of Beta Sigma Phi who has discussed with staff a donation of $150. Chair asked staff to get her Mrs. Keithley's phone number and she would contact her concerning areas of interest. 2. Volunteer Coaches Policy After review and discussion committee requested staff remove bold print pertaining to coaches having a win -win attitude but leave the sentence in capital letters(amended version attached). In addition committee discussed running background checks on volunteer coaches to satisfy parental concerns of child abuse. Chair with consent of committee requested staff to contact other cities and develop a procedure as how to best handle obtaining background checks on volunteer coaches. 3. Parks Reservation Policy Committee discussed holiday use, for profit use, reservation of different parks and park parts, exclusive use of parks, and the preclusion of the general public through park reservations. Chair with consent of the committee asked Coyle to work with staff to further develop a reservation policy. 4. Bulb Planting at Legacy Park Grote informed committee that three(3) Valley County Master Gardeners spent eighty five hours planting 1600 flower bulbs that were donated to the city by Hank Knowles. Martens moved to recommend council recognize and thank Joe Zimmer, Jane Pickens, Hank Knowles and Tomi Grote for their hard work with a letter of thanks. Seconded by Coyle, and the motion carried. VIII. OLD BUSINESS 1. Report on Toys for Tots - Battle of the Bands(attached) Committee reviewed the event and acknowledged the success. IX. POSSIBLE REVENUE PRODUCING PLANS FOR PARKS AND RECREATION Killen reported that due to state legislation, impact fees cannot be implemented in areas under 200,000 in population. At current the City of Boise is the only city in the state with impact fees. Grote asked Chair to contact representatives Wilde and Danielson and explore the option of expanding this legislation to include resort communities. Chair Killen agreed and will do so prior to the next meeting. X. MASTER PLAN Committee set a special meeting date of Monday, January 11, 1993 - 4:00 pm at Grote's home to work on the master plan. Staff to contact Jerome Mapp with the meeting date. XL PAYETTE LAKES TRAIL SYSTEM REPORT Killen informed committee that a grant application was being submitted to the State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Payette Lakes Trail System and that the city staff had redrafted a previous grant application for the City of McCall and that she would be attending the open meeting Friday, November 20th. XII. OTHER BUSINESS 1. Southern Idaho Timber Protection Agency Property Report - Martens Martens informed the committee that the property was being turned over to the City but that the land board has stated that it must be self supporting and the city will take no maintenance responsibilities but will hold the deed. The site will include a small amphitheater, nature trails, and museum that will concentrate on the history of timber harvesting, mining and a little agriculture. Coyle noted that he sat on the S.I.T.P.A. board and would keep us informed of its activities. 2. Election of New Chair After Discussion, Martens moved to recommend Grote for Chair and Coyle with Coyle as vice chair. Seconded by Killen and the motion carried. After discussion Grote and Coyle accepted the positions for one year. XIII. NEXT MEETING Monday, January 18, 1993 - 7:30 pm Items for next agenda 1. Sledding and snowmobiling at city's old dump site.

However, I would suggest that you request a letter from Wildwood Playgrounds certifying that the equipment meets the 1991 CPSC Public Playground Safety Guidelines. If they will not provide such a statement then I would seek another playground manufacturer. A few general observations that I would also like to offer are: - Is there a fence that surrounds the play area (CPSC 4.1)? - Is the equipment identified according to age appropriateness (CPSC 4.3)? - Does the composite climbing structure meet the platform and access recommendations (CPSC sect. 8)? - Does the play area have sufficient depth of surfacing based on the height of the play equipment (CPSC sect. 10)? - If there is a slide component to the composite climbing structure does it meet the recommendations on slides particularly the Exit Region (CPSC 9.1.5) and Sliding Section of Straight Slides (CPSC 9.1.4)? Do the swings meet the recommendations Single Axis Swings (CPSC 9.2.2) and Tot Swings (CPSC 9.2.3)? The drawing shows 3 swings per bay, CPSC says 2 per bay. I could provide a more detailed review if I had better diagrams, but I hope this will help. I have enclosed a CPSC handbook for your information. If I may be of any further assistance please contact me at your convenience. Charles H.

Your involvement is very important to the success of all youth sports programs, whether you are coaching Baseball, Basketball, or Soccer. Many of ybu are new at coaching youth teams and would like to take a moment to tell you the basic philosophy of coaching youngsters. Sports and competition teach our children many things that will be retained throughout their adult lives such as, fair play, cooperation, sharing, democratic principles, good sportsmanship and leadership. Unfortunately, an inappropriate emphasis is often placed on winning...sometimes at any cost. The losers in this case are the players, the children for whom the potential outcome of sports participation is the greatest. The youth sports coach can play an influential role in steering the emphasis of youth sports competition from an unhealthy win -at -all cost posture to a more healthy approach, which encourages participation by all, giving of one's best efforts, development of skills and taking pleasure in the joy that sports of all types have to offer. Sometimes coaching youth sports will be frustrating, heartbreaking, and discouraging, especially if your team never wins a game. Even if you win, you may be blessed with a group of smart alecks whom you just can't control. Some days everything will go just right, and on other days nothing goes right. That's the bad news. Yet, coaching can be worthwhile if you go into it with the right outlook. Sure it's great to win, but not everyone can. Teaching kids how to lose on occasion can be one of the greatest opportunities for teaching kids about life. IF YOU THINK WINNING IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS -- MAYBE YOU SHOULD VOLUNTEER FOR SOMETHING ELSE. In the last several years an attitude that winning is the only thing has crept into youth sports. I am telling you now that the purpose of youth sports is to instill those attitudes and characteristics that will help kids become better adjusted adults in the years ahead. In closing, I would like to thank you for volunteering and hope you enjoy the experience. Just try your best and I'm sure I will be pleased with your performance as a coach. Remember, your the role model for a group of very special people, our children. Sincerely, Craig Baker - Recreation Director Memo 10-14-92 To: Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee From: Craig Baker - Recreation Director Re: Toys for Tots fund raiser in Mill Park BATTLE OF THE BANDS TOYS FOR TOTS FUND RAISER HELD SEPTEMBER 6, 1992 A memo from the McCall Parks Department stated, " There was no damage done to Mill Park by the Toys for Tots events. All structures and trash were removed from the Park." Park deposit was refunded. A telephone conversation with Mr. Ron White informed me that approximately 800 - 1200 people attended the fund raiser. A total of approximately $4500.00 was taken in ticket and food sales. After expenses the fund raiser made approximately $500.00 dollars, plus purchased the booths, banners, and posters that can be used again next year. Mr. White figures with more time to find a sponsor willing to donate a grand prize for the raffle, next years event is expected to make a minimum of $3000.00 dollars. To: Mayor Smith, members of City Council From: Tomi Grote, chair -elect McCall Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee Re: Ice Skating Date: November 23, 1992 Apparently due to the close proximity of the November meeting of my committee and the Tues- day meeting of the council, this month's actions of the parks and recreation committee are not on the council's agenda. While I'm not particularly concerned about that, since my committee will not meet again until January, there is one motion we made that I think does deserve the council's immediate attention. I petition you to include this letter in your correspondence agenda Tuesday night. It concerns this committee's reaction to being informed by Administrator Schmidt that city staff has been directed to install an ice skating rink at Legacy Park. I submit to you the pertinent section from the park committee's minutes under Section VI Staff Reports: b. Administrator informed committee that staff has been directed to construct an ice rink on the lake. After discussing the following concerns: 1. Why has the committee not been notified of this prior to implementation? It is the committee's understanding that park and recreation issues are supposed to come before the committee prior to development and implementation. 2. Any time park and recreation monies are to be spent on new developments the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee should have comment. 3. The budgets have been set for expenditures. How will this affect other budget priorities? 4. Committee noted that ice skating has been the subject of repeated committee discussion and that the reason the park and recreation committee has never asked for funding for ice skating is because the committee concluded last year that the cost of maintaining an uncovered ice rink is higher than the demand for it. Martens noted that the committee invested staff time to research ice skating last year and that staff did not include Legacy Park in its recommendations (reference Park & Recreation committee minutes, January 14, 1992). Martens cited personal experience with maintaining ice rinks and warned that the methods Director Baker said he would use to create and maintain the ice rink would produce an unacceptable result. Committee members wonder why all this research and reasoning is being ignored. Grote moved to recommend council request committee comments before authorizing expendi- tures to construct an ice rink. Seconded by Martens and the motion carried, unopposed. Whether or not to invest in a city -run ice skating program has been extensively discussed by this committee and until now the council has agreed with our conclusions. I have discussed the difficulty of maintaining a useable ice skating surface on the lake with several lakefront residents who have attempted it on their own. I would urge the mayor and council to conduct similar research before opening the door to what may end up being a black hole. I have serious doubts that the recreation department can maintain a useable ice skating surface for any length of time without the expenditure of a lot more funds than it appears they anticipate. This is a crap shoot funded by tax dollars. It may work, but if it doesn't, you will have spent money to condition a rink that did not get enough use to justify the expense. While the council is well within its rights to disagree with the advice of this committee, the committee should at least be given the courtesy of offering that advice in the first place. In this case, it has not been given that courtesy. This committee has long been enthusiastic about adding ice skating to the list of recreation department offerings. Our objection to this initiative is to the backdoor way it is being done. If the council allows this arbitrary circumventing of procedure to stand, I can assure you that this committee will conclude that it is toothless. Dedicated citizens do not waste their time serving on toothless committees. tfully submitted. McCall Recreation Program P.O. Box 1065 McCall Id. 83638 Ph. 208-634-3006 Fax. 208-634-7142 To: Bud Schmidt, Administrator From: Craig Baker, Recreation Director Date: November 11, 1992 Subject: Mayor's Meeting 11-12-92 I am writing to let you know that I will not be attending the Mayor's Meeting tomorrow, November 12,1992. I have had some unexpected out of town relatives show up and I will be out of McCall most of the day Thursday. I will have no problem making up Thursday's missed hours this Saturday or Sunday, especially since I worked four and a half hours today, before I figured out it is Veterans day. I have no problems with the Recreation Program at this time. John Larson is still pushing for the city to provide a ice skating rink at Legacy Park this winter. In fact, Mr. Larson has acquired 10, 32 foot logs from Brock Gould to create a break water in front of the park. I do however have several concerns. 1. How will the logs be hooked together? 2. Who will install the logs(boat)? 3. Who will move the snow off the ice with a snow blower or 4-wheeler? 4. Who will pump water on the ice after the snow has been removed? 5. Who will be responsible for checking the thickness of the ice for safety reasons? 6. Who will be responsible for putting up thin ice signage? 7. Does the city have thin ice signs? As you can see there are many unanswered questions and numerous maintenance chores to keeping a ice rink available to the public. However, I also feel that a good sized ice rink would be well used and is a natural winter activity for an area like McCall. I would be willing to check the ice for safety, pump the water onto the rink with the Recreation Department's ballfield pump, and put out "Skate at Own Risk" & "Thin Ice" signs when appropriate. As for installation/removal of logs, and day to day maintenance, I do not have the necessary equipment(boat, 4-wheeler, snowblower) for the job. If the necessary equipment was provided, the Recreation Program would be willing to take on the day to day maintenance. December 30, 1991 TO: BUD FROM: CRAIG BAKER RE: ICE SKATING RINK I have contacted the Billings Montana Parks and Recreation Department concerning ice skating rinks in public parks. The Parks Director was very informative in the following areas. 1. INITIAL PREP. A. As snow falls in early december it is pushed off the grass and is used to build a barrier around the chosen rink site. The barrier acts as a cushion for out of control skaters and keeps motor vehicles, skiers, snowmobiles, ect. off the ice. B. The ground needs to be kept snow free until it freezes/frosts to a depth of 6-10 inches. C. At the first cold snap in early January, the rink site is flooded with a large volume of water -- usually from a fire hose. 2. MAINTENANCE A. At each snowfall the snow is plowed off the rink and added to surrounding snow barrier. B. The rink is reflooded with a thin layer of water. 3. SUPERVISION. Several years ago each city rink had a warming but and personnel to supervise, due to budget cuts, huts are no longer open and rinks are on "ski at own risk" basis. The City attempted to leave huts open for unsupervised use, but had major problems with vandalism. POSSIBLE LOCATIONS FOR McCALL 1. McCALL GOLF COURSE DRIVING RANGE. Due to delicacy of short cut grass, I would not recommend using a fairway. Clubhouse as hut. Snow removal - John Deer tractor. Water Source - ? 2. FAIRWAY PARK "B" FIELD(no hut) Snow removal - John Deer tractor Public works loader Water Source - Fire hydrant at North East end of Park. 3. SAMPSON TRAIL OLD DUMP SITE(no hut). Snow removal - Public works loader. Water source - ? (no visible hydrant near site). Levelness may be questionable. 4. FIELD BEHIND OLD SMOKEJUMPER BASE. Snow removal - Public works loader. Permission and water source have not been investigated. 5. IN FUTURE YEARS - IF BUILT, GOLFCOURSE IRRIGATION POND MAY BE USED. CREATION AND MAINTENANCE After investigating possible sites I feel Fairway Park would be the most realist place to attempt the first creation of a public ice skating rink in McCall. Fairway Park's grass is long and hardy, a fire hydrant is very close and Golf course equipment is near by. Currently, the Recreation Program has no specific money budgeted for the maintenance or creation of a ice skating rink. However, I do believe that through a cooperative effort involving: a. Public Works Department - initial snow removal b. Fire Department - initial flooding. c. Golf Course Staff - split on going snow removal w/rec dept. d. Recreation department - snow removal w/golf course or public works equipment and possible follow-up flooding. a public rink could be developed at a acceptable man hour/department cost. If this project is attempted, I would be willing to oversee the creation/design of the rink, provide benches, garbage cans and personnel to empty them(myself).
