Committee members Killen, and Ware answered roll call. Chair declared a quorum present. Also attending was Director Baker and Attorney Burton. II. MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 23, 1995. Ware moved to accept the minutes of January 23, 1995 as written. Killen seconded and the motion carried. III. REPORTS a. Third street easement. Attorney informed committee the property in question is a piece of fee property belonging to the city of McCali(not a dedicated public road) subject to Findley's easement. Findley claims the road has been there since the building of McCall Mall and access to the back of the building has always been allowed. Attorney informed committee the situation is the reverse of the city's claim to the Kahlman property. Committee informed Attorney they feel the access is being abused, there have been as many as six vehicles parking in the area, not only on Findley's property, but also on park property, causing damage to turf and creating a safety hazard. Killen reminded committee ,and Attorney that when the park was designed, it was implied that the parking area was to be for handicapped parking only. Attorney informed committee if Findley is right and has a easement, it would not give the right to park or place a dumpster east of the property line and the city could sign the area or use physical barriers to keep vehicles out of the park area. After discussion concerning different types of physical barriers and signage, Attorney agreed to meet with Chief_, Parker to develop a signage plan and to meet with Manager Shimun to see if the pole fence can be extended down the hill to define the parks boundary. Chair -requested Director to meet with Attorney and report back to the committee at their March meeting. b. Alcohol in city parks. Attorney informed committee council had not approved a ordinance but rather the drafting of a ordinance to be reviewed and commented on. Attorney informed committee he is waiting on similar ordinances from other resort communities. Attorney felt he could have a draft for review at committee's April meeting and it is his desire to have the redraft in the books by June 1 1995.' c. Matching monies for Legacy Park drinking fountain. Director informed committee their recommendation had been approved by council. d. Kahlman property. Attorney informed committee the Judge has now had the case for six months and has not rendered a decision at this time. Chair ask if there are any due process laws that could be enacted. Attorney informed committee the Judge is very busy and it would not be in the best interest of the City to push the issue. IV. NEW BUSINESS. a. R.F.P. park concessions. After discussion Killen moved to recommend staff change dates to current year, change number of parks to seven(7), attach the R.F.P. to minutes and recommend council direct staff to begin publication. Seconded by Ware and the motion carried. b. Ice Break-up Contest. Chair gave a review and history of the Ice Break-up contest to committee. Chair informed committee the Payette Lakes Trails committee used the contest in 1994 to raise approximately $4,000.00 selling sponsorships but will not be running the contest in 1995 due to reaching their fund raising goal. Chair felt the Parks or Recreation Department should take the contest over. Committee all felt the Ice Break-up contest would be a great fundraiser for parks and a specify goal such as funding the building of a ice rink or ballfield should be attached to the contest. After discussion committee felt the fundraiser could be run by the new Recreation Subcommittee. Ware agreed to meet with Grote and report back to the committee at its March meeting. V. OLD BUSINESS. a. R.F.P. Park Maintenance - Attachment. Chair wondered why Council had not acted on the board's motion to approve the R.F.P. for park maintenance. Director replied that the proposal was incomplete because the board had failed to recommend a plan to address maintenance duties pared from the original contractor's duty description. NOTE: The board reduced the scope of the 1994 maintenance contract to include only duties best done by a qualified horticultural professional, such as planting, fertilizing, etc. The city secured a contractor last summer only to have him default on the contract because the R.F.P. failed to include a bonding requirement and was too broad in scope. Public works staff took on the responsibilities of park maintenance and adequately took care of the generalized chores of mowing and cleaning, but inadequately operated the sprinkler systems and fertilizer applications. In a discussion of the new R.F.P. with Manger Shimun at the board's November 14, 1994 meeting, the issue of who -would - do -what was discussed and Shimun said that the assignments of duties outside the professional contract should be the responsibility of himself and Director Baker. The board accepted his opinion which was why Chair was surprised to see the matter back before the board. Committee discussed the concept of creation a Parks and Recreation Department now. Members concluded that the move would be premature and would rather submit a more thorough proposal that would not only seek to resolve maintenance responsibilities, but would recommend strategies to correct deficiencies in Recreation Program administration found by the summer and winter Recreation Task Forces, whose meetings have just concluded. Committee recommends the council take the following actions: *Consider the committee's January 23, 1995 motion to approve the R.F.P. for park maintenance " Ware moved to recommend council approve the R.F.P. for a park maintenance contract(attached) and direct staff to begin publication procedures. Coyle seconded and the motion carried." *Direct staff to place the general duties of mowing, cleaning, ect., with whatever existing department is best equipped to handle them. *Postpone discussion of a Parks and Recreation Department until the Parks and Recreation Committee has had time to evaluate the task force reports. NOTE: Chair plans to submit such a proposal to the Council no later than May of this year. NOTE TO COUNCIL: Time is of the essence in this motion. Attached is the recommended R.F.P. and a list of duties left out of the R.F.P. b. Landing and Launching of watercraft in city parks. Committee reviewed park ordinance 8-14-6(B)(attached). Chair with consent of committee tabled the issue and asked staff to place landing and launching of watercraft in city parks and buoy placement at Davis Beach on the June agenda. c. Parks Catalog. Chair informed committee she had drafted the text, gave Director a copy to be attached to meeting minutes and ask to have the Parks Catalog placed on the March agenda. In addition Chair requested Killen, Coyle, and Director to have a meeting and decide on specific items to be included in the catalog and be ready to report at the March meeting. VI. NEXT MEETING. Chair set the next regular meeting for 7:30pm, March 20, 1995. VII. ADJOURNMENT Killen recommend adjournment at 8:40pm. Ware seconded and the meeting adjourned.

(Ord. 548, 5-11-89) City of McCall Thanks to the will of its people, the City of McCall has made parks and recreation development a high priority in recent years. We have one of the finest and most scenic parks systems in the Northwest. Our recreation programs provide low-cost opportunities for hundreds of youths and adults to adopt an active and healthy lifestyle. A city-wide bike and walking path system is being built that will invite all ages to park their cars and enjoy the fresh mountain air. Nearly all of these amenities are financed through property taxes paid by the city's citizens and businesses. Yet, the city's citizens are a fraction of the total users of our parks and recreation programs each year. This catalogue has been compiled to offer all of McCall's parks and recreation users an opportunity to share the financial burden of maintaining and improving our parks programs, and to have some say in where your contributions go. You may, for instance, choose to purchase a picnic table, make a contribution to our land aquisition fund or give the most priceless gift of all: a contribution of your valuable volunteer time. We thank you for making the effort to look through the catalogue and to consider us in your charitable giving. When you give to McCall's parks and recreation programs, you give your commitment to the physical and mental health of the community's citizens. It's hard to find a higher cause than that. Your gift is tax deductible and will be recognized Every gift you share is tax deductible. Please look over the catalogue and consult your banker, trust officer, attorney or accountant if necessary. Each contributor receives a certificate suitable for framing. • Gifts of specific items (such as a picnic table) costing $100 or more or gifts of $100+ cash to individual park development funds will be honored with a plaque mounted on the information kiosk in the park benefitting from the contribution. The kiosks will also acknowledge contributions of volunteer time in excess of 15 hours annually in any given park. • Contributions to the recreation programs valued at $100 or more or volunteer time in excess of 15 hours annually will be acknowledged on a plaque to be placed in Fairway Park which will be relocated to the proposed riverfront park sports complex when it is developed (volunteer coaches will be recognized annually on a single plaque). • Contributions to the Friends of McCall's Parks and Recreation Programs grant match fund will be acknowledged on a plaque to be placed in a visible location along the city's bike trail system. An overview of City of McCall Parks and Recreation programs The City of McCall operates seven parks. The five parks fronting Payette Lake are Davis, Mill, Legacy, Art Roberts, and Rotary. All offer the public access to the lake, where swimmers are protected with buoyed areas and families enjoy clean, patrolled beaches. One park, Fairway, is used for the city's summer sports programs, which include youth soccer, football, softball and adult invitational softball tournaments. Community Park, downtown, offers shoppers and citizens and citizens on foot a soothing turnout and picnic area. Recreation programs for the city's youth run year-round. In addition to the programs mentioned above, volunteers give youngsters the opportunity to try their skills at basketball, nordic skiing and tennis. In 1994, the City adopted a Parks and Recreation Master Plan which outlined the city's goals for the coming five years. Among those goals is the development of a large tract of land along the Payette River across from the Payette Forest Smokejumper Base as a sports complex including a combination ice rink and outdoor amphetheater, softball fields, river access and large event site. Expansion of sports facilities to handle McCall's swelling recreation programs is cited in the Master Plan as the principal need for the short term. The chief goal of the Master Plan, though, is to insure the proper maintenance and efficient administration of the city's parks and recreation programs. There's plenty to do. Every picnic table, every contribution of gardening or carpen- try skills, every contribution that we can use to attract grants to our parks and recreation programs, helps. Gift Ideas! 1. Picnic Table All the city's parks could use more or newer picnic tables. We selected this model as the best compromise among style, durability and price. (Describe table) Picnic table - $000.00 2. Trash cans This is a relatively inexpensive contribution that gives back so much! Accessible trash cans cut down significantly on litter. This style harmonizes well with McCall's parks. Trash can - $00.00 3. Landscaping Improvements Fund McCall's harsh climate claims some vegetation in our parks every year, whether it be damage to turf from snow runoff or loss of shrubs and trees from frost heaves. The Landscaping Improvements Fund is used to replace these casualties and add new planting areas. One of the things it will be used for is the purchase of wildflower seed to add beauty to bare park slopes and along the city's bike path. Landscaping Fund suggested minimum donation - $25.00 4. Interpretive Signage Fund Our dream is to install historic and points of interest markers along the bike path and within the parks to help visitors and city citizens alike leam more about McCall's rich history and environment. Please help make that happen with a contribution. Signs will be purchased as the fund allows with priority on major points of interest along the bike trail. Interpretive Signage Fund suggested minimum donation - $25.00 5. Legacy Park Observation Deck Fund Finishing plans for Legacy Park call for an observation deck to built on the south end of the park (next to the McCall Mall) over the now -unsightly pilings there. The deck would be a street level picnic place for shoppers and a viewpoint for handicapped and senior citizens who don't like to negotiate the sloping entrance to the park. It's an expensive proposi- tion, but your donation might help to attract grant funds that can make it happen. Legacy Park Observation Deck Fund suggested minimum donation - $100.00 6. Park Restroom Fund Three of our most popular parks are in need of permanent restrooms. They are Art Roberts Park in the city center, Davis Beach (a popular locals family beach) and Fairway Park, where the city's sporting events are held. Public restrooms cost about as much to construct as a small home, but your contribution to this fund can bring back many times -- its weight in grant money. Park Restroom Fund suggested minimum donation - $100.00 7. Drinking Fountain Fund Drinking stations along the city's new bike path are a much appreciated amenity. Donations to this fund will be used to pursue grant matches to install drinking fountains along the trail where water is available. Drinking Fountain Fund suggested minimum donation - $50.00 8. Land Aquisition Fund As McCall continues to grow, so must the amount of land dedicated to parks. Right now, some land must be aquired before development of the Payette riverfront site can begin. A generous donation to this fund makes you a significant reason major and neighborhood parks will be available to all McCall's citizens, present and future. Please be a part of this effort! Land Aquisition Fund suggested minimum donation - $100.00 Direct land donations suitable for parks are also a much welcomed option. Visit with your estate planner or tax consultant and contact the McCall City Manager with your proposal. 9. Riverfront Site Ice Rink/Amphetheater Fund If you're one of the many people in McCall who would love to see a permanent, regulation -size ice rink on one of McCall's prettiest, most accessible sites (across from the Smokejumper Base along the Payette River), this fund is for you!

Riverfront Site Paving/River Access Fund Plans for the new Riverfront park site call for river access amenities and parking, skateboarding facilities and other in -demand improvements involving paving.

Riverfront Site Natural Area Fund These monies will be used to develop pathways and interpretive signage in the natural areas of the Riverfront park site. If you'd enjoy and evening stroll along the river or would like McCall's schoolchildren to learn about the Payette riverbank, please give to this fund. Riverfront Site Natural Area Fund suggested minimum donation - $25.00 13. Bicycle Racks Many of our parks and several points along our new bike path need bicycle racks. This style is sturdy and priced right! Bicycle Rack - $000.00 14. Bike Trail Maintenance Fund Bike paths are like streets —just because you pave them once doesn't mean that's the end of it. Make your contribu- tion toward keeping our new path system good as new! Bike Trail Maintenance Fund suggested minimum donation - $50.00 15. Recreation Program Equipment Fund Safety is our Number One concern in our youth recreation programs. You can help us keep our level of excellence by making sure the equipment is sound and up to date. Recreation Program Equipment Fund suggested minimum donation - $25.00 16. Playfield Maintenance and Improvement Fund It may be awhile before we're in a position to put new playfields on the Riverfront park site. In the meantime, Fairway Park's facilities experience the wear and tear of heavy use. This fund is the prefect choice for those concerned about the quality of McCall's adult softball facilities. It also is the fast choice of those who wish to keep facilities in top- notch condition for our youth activities. Playfield Maintenance and Improvement Fund suggested minimum donation - $25.00 17. Youth Sports Scholarship Fund Even though we struggle to keep fees for our youth programs to an affordable minimum, there are still children in our community who just can't afford to play. It's awful to watch them watching longingly from the edge of the field. Your contribution will help make sure that any youth who wants to participate, can. 7: Youth Sports Scholarship Fund suggested minimum donation - $25.00 . �p Qi / fr Friends of McCall's Parks and Recreation Programs Fund \� Ya• causes thattsspecifically interest you, yue offersou must potential that some of these causea number of s will be moifferent re popto ullarrthour donation to an others.
