Home My Public Portal AboutP&RAC Minutes 1994 01/10PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE MINUTES JANUARY 10,1994 L ROLL CALL AND CALL TO ORDER Chair Grote called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. Committee members Killen, Coyle and Ware answered the roll call. Chair declared a quorum present. Also attending were Director Baker, Mimi Peug, Debbie Staup, Tracy Beck and Debbie Martens - ice skating petition. II MINUTES - DECEMBER 13,1993. After a brief review, Killen moved to accept the December 13 minutes as written, seconded by Coyle and the motion carried. M ICE SKATING PROGRAM PETITION AND REQUEST Chair Grote reordered the agenda to accept the presentation of a petition (attached) to create a city/chamber of com- merce -managed ice skating program and acknowledged the presence of petition circulators Mimi Peug, Debbie Staup, Tracy Beck and Debbie Martens. The committee discussed the subject of ice skating with the group and gave them the historical background of the committee's involvement in the issue, which repeatedly has found not enough interest to support an ice skating program. Chair Grote said that the committee has always been enthusiastic about adding ice skating to the recreation programs, but has never been presented with a workable plan. She advised the group to organize and present the committee with a plan which includes costs and proposals for fees and funding. IV STAFF REPORTS 1. Administrator Committee acknowledged receipt of a summary of permits granted to the Winter Carnival committee by the city council. Killen noted that the committee had recommended Art Roberts park for a Merry Go Round, not Rotary, as noted in administrator's summary. Committee also noted that administrator's report cited no dates for the permits and wondered what the arrangement was for the use of the Riverfront Park site for the snowman project, since the committee motioned a ten-day permit for the duration of Winter Carnival. Member Coyle said that he'd heard on the radio of plans for a bonfire and party at the snowman site, which never came before the committee. Director Baker said he would answer these questions at the committee's next meeting. 2. Director Director Baker reported that the city's cross country ski program is underway with good participation. Member Killen noted that there was an American Legion baseball program connected to Ron White being circulated at the schools. Director Baker said he would find out more about it and report to committee at their next meeting. V. NEW BUSINESS 1. Parks and Recreation Subcommittees (attachment) Chair Grote said that the creation of a Iiason group from among the recreation program volunteer community should be one of the committee's top priorities. She said that the council's October public hearing on recreation issues demands that the city take prompt action. Although the master plan the committee is developing calls for the creation of a subcommittee on recreation, Grote said she felt that the problems needing the most immediate attention would be best resolved by a task force rather than by a permanent committee. She said that a task force can involve large numbers of people and that when problems grow large enough to produce the frustration evident at the public hearing, the more people who have an investment in the solution, the better. Grote noted that since summer and winter recreation programs have distinct constituencies and different problems, that two task forces —one for each season —be appointed to specialize the process and make it more efficient. She said that the task forces would be a talent pool and that at the conclusion of their charter, the three -member perma- nent subcommittee should consist of a member from each task force and a chairman chosen from among the parks and recreation committee. She said member Jim Ware has agreed to chair the task forces and the subcommittee that should come of them. Committee agreed with Grote's approach. Grote recommended that she draft a motion for the council that includes a detailed description of the charge of the task forces and that Ware seek input from the committee and develop a list of nominees. The committee agreed to a special meeting on January 20th to agree on the motion and submit it for the council's January 27th meeting agenda. 2. Possible joint meeting with new council Chair said that she would like to see the council schedule a joint meeting with the parks and recreation commit- tee when the committee sends its master plan to the council. It would be a good opportunity to brief the council on matters of importance to the committee, not only the issues, but on matters of communciation and procedure. Committee agreed. The master plan is due to be sent to the council in April, 1994. Chair noted that the master plan has been essen- tially finished for months, but with two new members on the committee and a new council, it was best to keep it in the committee until the new committee members had had a chance to comment on it. 3. Overnight parking at city parks. Chair told committee that Councilman Dean Martens had seen RV's parked overnight in Rotary Park and that he detected some confusion on the part of city law enforcement on the applicable ordinance. Committee asked Director Baker to notify Chief Parker of the problem. 4. Pennies for Parks (attachment) Committee acknowledged attachment without comment. S. Ponderosa Park Master Plan Member Coyle removed himself from the board for this discussion and requested an addition to the agenda. He said that he would like the board to review and comment on the finished draft of the Ponderosa Park master plan at it's February meeting. He said Ponderosa has applied for a grant to fund a patrol boat and would like to see the city's no - wake ordinance extended to the park's point and seeks the committees support of such a proposal. Chair agreed to include the topics in the committees February agenda. VI. OLD BUSINESS 1. Revised Muir Lease agreement Killen questioned the 5 year term granted in the lease. She said that plans in the works, such as the bike path network, will change the uses of that right of way and she feels the city should have more flexibility in case they want to do something else with the land. She proposed a motion to make the lease seasonal, then withdrew it when Coyle said that a seasonal lease gave the dock building business inadequate security. Killen moved to recommend that council replace the five year term on the Muir lease agreement to two years, to give the city more flexibility. Ware seconded and the motion carried. * * * * VII OTHER BUSINESS 1. Chair Report (attachement) Chair said that member Dean Martens had resigned effective January 7th to take a seat on the city council. All members of the committee expressed their thanks to Martens for his lengthy service to the city's parks and recreation programs and their enthusiasm for his election to the council. Chair asked the committee to acknowledge her letter to the council nominating former councilman Gary Van Komen to the position vacated by Martens. She said that she wrote the letter on behalf of the committee only after she was certain she had the committee's support but that a public affirmation of that would take away any doubt. The committee voiced unanamous support for the nomination and noted for the record that after review of all applications and interviews for the position, Van Komen was the first choice. VIII. NEXT MEETING A special meetinig of the Parks and Recreation Committee is scheduled for January 20th at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall. The agenda will be limited to the subject of recreation task forces. The next regular meeting of the committee is scheduled for February 28th at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall. t �C2 Sk or, tzke,i ;, the undersigned, petition the City of McCall and the McCall Area Chamber of Commerce to actively participate in planning, developing and maintaining a community ice rink - preferably on Payette Lake near Legacy Park.

You are not permitted use of city crews or equipment to clear snow from various privately owned parking, areas such as the new Shaver's lot. You must arrange other ways to accomplish these efforts. Note also that the McCall Police Chief issues parade permits. You must have his approval of routes and traffic control activities and he will advise the Public Works department on the placement of barricades and signs. As is always the case, the City must have a Certificate of Insurance in an amount of not less than $1 Million CSL for the Chamber's special event policy, with the City of McCall listed as a named insured. That is a condition of approval of all events. This certificate must be directed to me and received not later than 5 p.m. on January .20, 1994. Please retain a copy, of this letter in your files.

Sincerely, City Administrator cc Fire Chief Police Chief Public-Works Director Recreation Director City Attorney December 3, 1993 To: Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee From: Director Baker Re: Parks and Recreation Subcommittees As the soon to be adopted Parks and Recreation Master Plan states, and the Recreation Forum strongly suggested, two subcommittees to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee may need to be formed. On the following pages 1 have laid out general questions, for your thought and input. I have left plenty of room for you to write down suggestions over the next few days, so you may be ready to comment on,. and develop a plan for subcommittees. Since summer, and the busy season grows near, I feel a urgency to have a subcommittee plan adopted as soon as possible. Therefore,people could be appointed and get to work prior to, rather than, during the summer. Remember for each subcommittee created, staffwill be required to create agendas, staff the meetings, take and write the meeting minutes, distribute agendas and minutes, and do any reseamh needed by the subcommittee. I bring this point up, so you may also think about how often subcommittees need to meet, do they need meeting minutes, should a representative of the subcommittee come to each Parks and Recreation'Advisory Committee meeting and report, or should staff report. I believe involving the public more in park and recreation issues can, and will be very valuable to the City of McCall, but there are many issues that need to be discussed in developing a plan for subcommittees. Please take the time to do some brainstorming and write your ideas on the following pages, prior to the January 10, 1994 meeting, so we can get the most done, in the least amount of time.

General Ideas and comments you have on subcommittees. YOUTH BASEBALL/SOFTBALL VOLUNTEER TASK FORCE I called this a task force because after the open form on the Recreation Program, I was approached by several people who have coached baseball and softball teams in the past, stating they would be willing to help with the registration, scheduling, rain out rescheduling, sponsor solicitation, and fund raising for the purchase of baseball pants, socks, and equipment. In addition, they would like to attend league organizer meetings and help develop coach and umpire training programs. I feel this energy needs to be tapped since the baseball/softball program will now start in April, prior to summer help being available and, has expanded to 14 teams in McCall(not including t-ball) and 38 total league teams creating a whirlwind of games(150+), and jobs, many of which could be done by a volunteer task force. I envision this task force as a working committee, no meeting minutes would be taken. A job list would be developed and jobs assigned as the season developed. The task force would work directly with the Director, who would then report what they are doing, directly to the Parks and Recreation Advisory committee. I feel the task force should meet once in January, once in February, once in March, once in April, twice in May twice in June and once in July to evaluate the season. t suggest the following people should be part of this task force; Ron Bowker, Rich Pdmmer, Sherel Hickman, Ron White, and ?.

No one has been as valuable to this board in the two years I haveserved as Gary has. As president of McCall City Council, he has supported us thoroughly, even when he has had disagreements with US. Gary's knowledge of fiscal matters will contribute immensely in accomplishing our objectives of securing adequate funding for parks and setting fair fees for recreation programs. His council experi- ence brings to us a breadth of knowledge in city issues no one else on the board equals. With his appointment, the business community will be represented by two park board members, one male and one female, to make this park board the most diverse group of individuals to ever serve you. I hope you will share the board's gratitude to Gary for agreeing to bring his energy and insight to park and recreation matters and won't hesitate to confirm him at your next council meeting.

MccaiI' for funding by the Transportation Enhancement Program Unde!r authorization- The project proposed is highly competitive when vieWedr~,in light of your selection criteria and I will review-the project in this letter under those guidelines. 1. ComPleted projects: While this .project- is a companion to the McCall VALUED, INC. project, the-completion o'f this project will route tourists, and'"residents"ithr°ugh the · city, avoiding high traffic areas and enhancing the. safety. of both motorized and non-motorized .traffic~The completion of the city project is' not dependent on the VALUED project and will represent a completed""'pr°je,ct' if 2 Population benefited:''McCall is a regiOha1 resort and attracts a. tourist population from the Boise area as. well ton,Moscow.' areas.

The proposal would~..offer amenities"'of different characters to each of these'publics. and these plans would augment their efforts, and opportunities for recreationists using the public lands. 7. Support by national, state, and regional organizations: We believe .that cycliQg, snowmobiling, and cross county · skiing interests would support the development of year-round recreational routes in and through the city. 8.' Enhancement of the quality of experience: The routes pass through wooded and scenic areas and would undoubtedly provide more serene, comfortable travel for pedestrians, hikers, and other recreational interests. 9. Local participation: The match for this should be viewed in light of the city's other efforts to provide recreational a~enities, as discussed in the items above. 10. Multiple activities: While the application is for construction of a bikepath/walkway, the beautification and safety considerations, would meet this eligibility criteria. I am resubmitting the earlier grant application. The amount. of the request is somewhat different that submitted earlier, but is based upon the same estimated construction cost. This project is the city's highest priority. While the VALUED application is within an area which the city oversees for Planning and Zoning purposes (through an Area of Impact Agreement with Valley County) this project application is most critical to meet the needs of our resident and tourist population. The City of McCall has -the administrative capacity, both. financial and otherwise, to assume full responsibility for the project. The city .now owns a parcel of park property which the City Council has declared surplus and will be sold to partially support this project. The tax contribution will be addressed through the city's 1993 budget process. We know of no legal impediments to the execution of .this project. The city is prepared to execute affirmations of civil rights, disability and environmental compliance on the project. Your .consideration of this project is appreciated.

Sur~a _...~fficiencv 'Act "~of "1991 (~S_.TEA~' The Surface Transportation Act passed congress the day before Thanksgiving. It includes-numerous sections which will greatly benefit .the creation of trails ~in the coming years. In particular (1) two new spending programs that could fund trails projects, (2) a re-written bicycle/pedestrian program, and (3) a much improved planning process should all combine to act as a significant new catalyst for the creation of trails, including rail-trails. Here is a summary of the sections of ISTEA that could benefit rail-trails: Q - . -~,,e~~TON .ENHANCEMEN~S~ t~ect, ion i32~ ..-.. '. The biggest ~ source of fundlng for the creation of rail- trails comes from the "Surface Transportation Program" (STP) which. ~ specifically requires that ten percent of the funds allocated to · \i~° this Program be spent on ,,~ransportation enhancements-" Since the · STP was funded a.t at least $33.3 billion, that means that a minimum ~ot'~. of $3.3 billion dollars MUST be spent over the next six years by ~z~.~-~ state departments of transportation on ,,transportation enhance- ' ' 660 m' ' do e ea to be s ' a o ' e 0 m. entt~" This amount of funding actually translates into ~ since states much match the federal money on a 20/80 basis. Ten different enhancements are included as eligible actions. Rail- ~w trail projects are specifically included as enhancement #7 but many ~°~ ~ O~ai]-trail pro%ects could also qualify.un.d.er several of the other &~'.~'" ~nh~ncements. -The ten enhancement actzvltles are: ~"-'3~-~{ '~J Provision of-facilities for_~_pedestrians .,¥,.... \,~ 2) Acquisition of scenic easements and scenic or historic .0 ~ -~ sites. ~oe c~ ~.e 3) Scenic Or historic highway programs. t , 4) Landscaping and other scenic beautification. ~ ~0~ X 5) Historic Preservation. ~,~_. ,%~ 6) Rehabiiitation and operation of historic transportation '" buildings, structures or facilities including historic x~' railroad facilities and canals. 0\~ 7) ~ e a ' n d ed a' wa c '. ' ' c e ' 8 u t eeo de t ' d ' 0~ ~t~.~ ', 8) Control and Removal of outdoor advertising. 9) Archaeological planning and research. ~c~'. ,~ ~ 10) Mitigation of water pollution due to highway runoff. Included as part of the Surface Transportation Act is the creation of a' new trust fund called the National Recreational Trails Trust Fund. This trust fund is financed by shifting funds from the Highway Trust Fund into the trails trust fund. The funds come from taxes paid on the purchase of gasoline for recreational vehicles. Ho__w Much Monev? ~ The trust fund is authorized to be funded at $30 m~llion per year for the next six years. Though the $30 million per. year'will be put into the trust fund, Congress must appropriate the $30 million dollars each year before the.funds can actually be spent. How will the money be spent? ~ss,;m~n~ that these, funds will indeed be appropriated, the f'~-.d~ ~st b~ ~pent in the foil.owing 'm~n~er: " 30% ($9 million per year) for motorized trail recreation 50% ($9 million per year) for non-motorized trail 40% ($12 million per year) for either motorized or non- motorized trail recreation ~o distributes the money?. The U.S. Department of Transportation (most likely the Federal Highway Administration) will administer the program. State Governors shall designate the State official or officials who will administer the funds at the state level (this could be a state DOT, DNR, parks agency, etc.) Note: 50% of the funds shall be allocated equally among the states, the other 50% will be distributed in proportion to the amount of recreational fuel used during the preceding year in each state. ._who ~ets the money? ...... Gr~nts u~er '~s program can be made to private individuals, organizations (like RTC~, city/county govts, & other govt entities. _What can these ~rants be used for~? · Environmental and safety improvement programs, ~eve~0pment of urban tr~l linkages, m~intenance of ex~sting recreational trails, restoration of areas damaged by usage of trails (by ORr's)., development of trail-side and trail-head facilities, a~cquisition of aments~or trails, ~uquisition of fee simple titleto property, 0nstruction of new trisls on State, country~ municipal or priva%e lands, construction of new trails across federal lands (under 2 certain conditions). III. BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN ISSUES fSection 2171 The existing Section 217 language was rewritten in the new Surface Transportation~Act- On the down side, funds for bicycle and pedestrian facilities are Do longer available at 100 percent funding -- instead, federal funds must be matched on a 20/80 basis by the states. On the up side, Section 217 now specifically does the following: us~of .Surface TransDortation'Proqrag~Funds Subject to project approval by the Secretary of Transportation, a state may spend funds apportioned to it under the sT~...~$35.9 billion over 6 years) for highway, transit or-~b~idg6 ~ ~~ ' ~udin~ the co-s~ac~ ~n,.mf -~es~rian ~a~w~Ys.· and .... 'adjacent'to'.federal-aid highways. Use of National Hichway System Funds Subject to project approval by the Secretary of Transportation, a State may spend funds apportioned to it under the National Highway system ($21 billion over 6 years) for construction of bicycle transportation facilities on land ~ to any highway on the NHS. Rail-trail projects would'qualify for these funds, but only if they happen to be located next to a highway on the NHS. Use of Federal Lands Highway Funds ~' At the discretion of the department charged with administering these funds, the construction of pedestrian walkways and bicycle transportation facilities are eligible under the federal lands highway program which amounts to at least $2.6 billion over 6 years. This includes highways on Indian Lands, Bureau of Land Management Lands, and Parklands. IV. ~ONGE~TiON.MiTIGATioN'-AND'AiR-OUALiTY 'IMPROVEMENT PROGRA~ The ISTEA allocates an average of $1 billion per year for six years to metropolitan areas to mitigate air quality pr6blems. Section 108(f) of the Clean Air Act passed by Congress last year identifies rail/trail projects as an eligibleproject within a list of actions metropolitan areas can take to meet clean air objectives. Though funding rail/trails out of this funding source might be difficult to pull off, this funding'category should not be overlooked. .~. ~TROPOLiTANPLANNING (SEC. 134% and STATEWIDE PLANNING (SEC._ 3 The ISTEA strengthens state and local planning requirements, including requiring comprehensive plans at the state level for the first time,~ and doubling the funding level for metropolitan planning. ~etropolitan. Plans Metropolitan planning orggnizations, in cooperation with the State, shall developed transportation plans and.. programs for urbanized areas (over 50,000 population) which s_~ .provide for the development of transportation facilities (in¢ludin~ pedestrian w_alkwavs and bicycle transportation facilitiesl which will function as an ,,intermodal transportation system for the State, metropolitan areas, .and the Nation." Fifteen factors must be considered in the. transportation plan -- including: ~5. The pr. ogramming of expenditure on transportation ~nhr...-.,c.~.~.~.~.t' .activities 'as re~uired'.~.~ £~,;~on z~ .~.~e~ p.u~:.~-_.~.~ ~ this memo) · #10: Preservation of rights-of-way f°r construction of future transportation projects, including identification of unused rights- of-way which may be needed for future transportation corridors and identification of those corridors for which action is most needed to prevent destruction or loss of those corridors. statewide Plans As in metropolitan transportation planning, the newly required state plans must provide for the development of pedestrian walkways and bicycle transportation facilities. The plans mus~ %nclude .strategies for incorporating bicycle transportation facilltles and pedestrian walkways in projects where appropriate throughout the rate. These plans must also include consideration of preservat%on ' t -o -w r co st uct' of u u e t a s o t t o 'e ts ' c u ' 'de t' 'cat'on of u u ed ' hts-o -wa w 'c may.be needed for future transportation corridors,, and identify t~hose corridors for which action is most needed to prevent destruction or loss. These new programs provide a major new opportunity to require to ' n state transportatzo agencies and regional planning agencies both plan and construct rail-trail projects. However, rail-trails .will compete (1) with other t_~ projects (in the Recreational Trails· Trust Fund), with other 9nhancement projects (in the enhancement program), with other air _~ualitv projects (in the congestion mitigation and air quality program) and with other highway and .transit projects (in the Surface Transportation and Na~ioai Highway·System Programs). We must act aggressively to make sure rail-trails are included in each of ~hese programs.
