PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MINUTES
JANUARY 24,1994
I. ROLL CALL AND CALL TO ORDER
Chair Grote called the meeting to order at 5:40pm. Committee members Killen, and Ware answered the roll call.
Chair declared a quorum present. Also attending was Director Baker.
H. PARKS AND RECREATION SUBCOMMITTEES.
Director informed chair that the last sentence of the motion needed to be removed because city code does not allow
city employees to volunteer time for any job associated with their department. Committee agreed to remove the last sentence
of the motion.
Committee discussed how large the task force should be and all agreed it should have about ten members. Committee
felt that with ten members baseball, softball, soccer, basketball, adult programs, and school relations could all be well
represented by having a cross section of members who are involved with each season. Committee felt the meetings would be
the most productive with about ten active members but realizes that these meeting will be public meetings with a posted
agenda and anyone who wishes to attend can. Committee felt that Mr. Ware would be a very capable chair and the meetings
would be conducted in a orderly fashion.
Committee reviewed lists of proposed task force members provided by Director Baker and member Ware, and
agreed on the following slate of nine possible members.
Icon Bowker Rich Primmer Lola Elliot
Doug Sprague Jim Neal Bob Thachery
Ralph Haus Ralph King Teresa Bixby
After discussion Killen moved to recommend council approve the creation of a Recreation Task Force as * * * * * * * 01
deseinbed in the attached proposal and approve the above slate of nine members for the summer recreation task force.
Ware seconded and the motion carried.
M. GARNETT BEACH HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION CONTRACT{ATTACHMENT}.
Committee reviewed the Department of Lands agreement and found following question and discrepancies.
*Killen stated the committee has never seen a "T" at the end of the dock before. The dock the committee
recommended approval of was comprised of three, twenty foot sections.
*Grote stated the yearly fee was based on the number of slips that would be used and would like to know if the "T"
will create additional slips. if the "T" creates more slips, should the yearly fee he raised?
Committee felt that it could not make a recommendation until these question are answered.
IV. OTHER BUSINESS
Killen informed the committee that she felt there was to much duplication in handing out attachments with the
agenda and then again with the meeting minutes. Committee agreed and asked Director to include Meeting minute
attachments on copies going to city council and vault books but not on copies going to committee members.
Killen informed committee that the bike path grant may have gone to the next step. Director agreed to research and
report on the Idaho Department of Transportation grant at the nest regular meeting.
V. NEXT MEETING
The next regular meeting of the committee is scheduled for February 28th, at 7:00pm at City Hall.

Proposal to improve community confidence in
management of the city's recreation programs
Background: Last October, the McCall City Council held a public hearing to take citizen comment on the management
of the city's recreation programs. The hearing was in response to a petition presented to the Park and Recreation Advi-
sory committee which cited several points of discontent with management of city recreation programs (attached). Much
of the testimony at the hearing concerned the city's youth softball program, which is the largest and fastest growing of
the city's recreation programs. Speakers complained principally of:
• bad or no communication of scheduling changes to parents and volunteers.
• procurement of additional equipment after the season started, endangering the safety of players until the
necessary equipment arrived.
• poor support of and insufficient expressions of gratitude to volunteer coaches and team sponsors for their
efforts and poor organization of volunteer coach recruitment.
• indifference and inaction on the part of the city adminstrator when representatives of the petitioners
personally met with him twice about these problems.
The council took no action following the hearing. It chose to adopt the suggestion of Park and Recreation Advisory Chair
Tomi Grote that this issue be taken up by the three -member recreation subcommittee called for in the Park and Rec
master plan (the preliminary draft was sent to the council last April. The final draft will be sent to the new council,
probably in March)
Substance of Committee Discussion: The content of the October public hearing has been the subject of committee
discussion in many meetings since October. After a lengthy discussion of this topic in our meeting of Monday, January
10, 1994, Chair Grote noted that the problems require two different kinds of solutions, one to speed solutions of the
immediate problems and one to deal with the long term. The committee concluded that a task force is a better vehicle to
make progress on today's problems because the membership can be large. The more people involved in the solutions, the
better. But a task force is too large and unwieldy to take on the long term need noted in the Master Plan, which is for a
small body to advise the board on recreation issues. That's where the subcommittee is more appropriate. Two task forces
are appropriate because the issues associated with ice skating and cross country skiing are very different from the issues
associated with baseball and soccer. The committee feels that two groups, selected for their involvement in specific
seasonal sports, will be more efficient and stay more focused than one group that tries to tackle the spectrum.
Recommended Action: the Park and Rrecreation Advisory Committee recommends that the council form two
task forces chaired by park board committee member Jim Ware —one for winter recreation issues and one for
summer —to take on the immediate concerns voiced in the public hearing. Each task force will agree to a deadline
to report their conclusions to the park board, who will in turn discuss and recommend specific actions to the city
council. Upon delivery of their recommendations, the task forces will dissolve and the park board will recommend
one member from each group to serve on a permanent subcommittee on recreation issues. Recreation Director
Baker will serve as staff to the task forces, but will only be obligated to attend the meetings and write the minutes.
The specific areas of the recreation programs the task forces will be asked to address are these:
• program scheduling and promotion
• equipment needs and procurement schedules
• playing field conditions and additional site needs
• care and feeding of volunteers and sponsors, improvements in communication with coaches, parents
and participants
• a structure for efficient management of volunteer groups to assist in the management of recreation
programs
• making fees and other fund raising techniques pay a larger portion of recreation program expenses
• program additions, expansions and eliminations and the means by which they will be funded
The specific areas of the recreation programs the task forces will not address are these:
• evaluations of recreation staff
Attached to this motion is a list of names the board nominates to sit on the summer task force. A slate of nominees
for the winter task force will bedrafted in June.

RE: Committee issues
1. On January 13, the McCall City Council asked the Park and
Recreation Advisory Committee to review the Department of Lands
application submitted by the Garnet Beach Homeowners Association
to ensure that the plan submitted to the department conforms with
the proposal previously approved by the Committee.
I have attached a copy of the IDOL application and ask that
you submit this to the committee for review and recommendation.
I will write to IDOL requesting additional time to respond to
this request. The Committee should recommend action to the -
Council and following the Council'•s action on that
recommendation, I will forward the City's position on the matter
to IDOL.
2. On January 13, the Council also appointed Gary VanKomen to
serve on the Park and Recreation Committee. Please include him
on your committee list.
Any questions, call me.
