Corbin St. Present: Vice Chair Cole Kenworthy, Carl Cuthbertson, Commissioner Robb English (ex officio), Alyse Polly and Richard von Furstenberg Absent: Chair Jesse Mowles-Aring, Chelsea Gailey, Wendy Kuhn, James Pattison, Staff: Public Space and Sustainability Manager Stephanie Trueblood 1. Call to order and confirmation of quorum Vice Chair Cole Kenworthy called the meeting to order at 7 p.m. Public Space and Sustainability Manager Stephanie Trueblood called the roll and noted there was not a quorum present. 2. Agenda changes and approval No changes were made. 3. Minutes review and approval Minutes from regular meeting on May 17, 2022 No action was taken. 4. Discussion items A. Gold Park Master Plan Trueblood explained Gold Park does not have a master plan yet because there was a thorough planning process when the park was created. It is the most used town park. Trueblood explained that she wanted to discuss the topics with the board so that she can create a schedule and know when to advertise for public input on specific topics that would shape the master plan. She shared that Stormwater and Environmental Services Manager Terry Hackett was planning to attend the August meeting to talk about stream buffers and stormwater-related subjects. Trueblood shared the history of the park and its early development including playground equipment, stream buffer restoration and the dog park. Trueblood reviewed her list of topics that need to be covered for the creation of a master plan. She noted that anything suggested by members at this meeting would be added to her list. It was noted that more places for people to sit and work would be needed if Wi-Fi were added to the park. There was a suggestion to create a graffiti wall or interactive art wall. PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD MINUTES | 2 of 2 Members were interested in understanding how satisfied people are with the park now and an idea of what people generally want to see added. After that, there was interest in creating a curated list. There was discussion that it is difficult to conduct a survey that reaches people who are less inclined to share their opinions. It would be predictable to get requests for a splashpad, sunshades and pickleball because that’s what vocal people who want those things have requested. B. Future skate spot planning update Trueblood said one company has provided a design quote that fits within the budget. She expects this fall the company will host meetings separate from the Parks and Recreation Board meetings to gather input from skaters. 5. Parks and recreation-related reports A. Board of Commissioners: Robb English English gave a brief update of recent board discussions and actions. B. Planning Board: Alyse Polly There was no report. C. Intergovernmental Parks Work Group: Stephanie Trueblood Trueblood noted the group would meet again in the fall. 6. Park steward reports Board members reported on the conditions of the parks for which they serve as stewards. Trueblood noted any small repairs that needed attention and gave brief reports on small repairs that had been made since the previous meeting. 7. Staff updates Trueblood provided updates on: • Musical play mallets at Gold Park are missing and the replacements are backordered. • Invasive plant removal continues. • Stream buffer restoration at Turnip Patch and Murray Street parks are taking place. • In the greenway naming survey, respondents liked Ridgeway but thought “Ridgeway greenway” sounds funny and suggested “Ridgewalk greenway.” Members liked “Ridgewalk.” 8.
