LPA Architects, the design consultants for the Ham Park Replacement
Project, will be presenting three master plan schemes, which were based on
the information gather from the community workshop held on March 17,
2007. LPA will be presenting the three (3) schemes in the form of a Power
Point Presentation.
Although all three schemes were found very creative staff has review and
found Scheme No. 3 which incorporates the separation between the playing
fields and passive Park to be the most appropriate to the specific needs of
this community and project.
Staff is recommending that the Park and Recreation Commissioners support
the selection of Scheme No.3.

C. Current Program/Activity Report: Continued
These events are located across the park from one another. Any
Council Members that show up for Baseball will pertorm the ribbon-
cutting. Mr. Trejo invites the Commissioners to attend.
• Senior Citizens Easter Activities - 4/5/07 - 1 p.m. -Senior Lounge
• Citywide Easter Egg Hunt - 4/7/07 - 11:00 a.m. -Diamond # 3
• National Youth Services Day - 4/21/07 - 11:00 a.m. -Lynwood
City Park - This event is a fundraiser for the purchase of
playground equipment for Los Amigos Park. The program will
feature a talent show and food sales. The Department only
learned about this program one-week ago and is facilitating
something that will not require too much work in order to
encourage youth participation. Raising funds for playground
equipment is a good cause that is much needed in this
community.
• Senior Center Grand Opening - 4/28/07 - 10:00 a.m. -
Commissioners will be receiving formal invitations.
Mr. Trejo apologizes for not bringing the April 2007 activity
calendars. The Minutes Clerk will mail the calendar to the
Commissioners.
Ms. Phyllis Cooper, Marketing & Grants, was in the audience to
present Commissioner Espeseth with several awards that she did
not pick up at the Women's Commission Luncheon held on
3/22/07. Commissioner Espeseth was awarded with one "Women
on the Move" certificate and one "Women on the Move"
plaque; both from the Lynwood Women's Commission plus one
commendation from L.A. County Supervisor Yvonne Brathwaite
Burke, all in honor of her dedicated service to the City of
Lynwood.
1 1) Commission Orals: (Please abide by the 3-minute time limit for each Commissioner)
• Commissioner Espeseth -She is still concerned about youth playing ball on
her street in the midst of traffic.
• Commissioner Mendoza -Complained about two big holes in the ground
filled with water. The holes are located on Birch Street near the restrooms,
snack bar and ball diamonds. He is worried about mosquitoes breeding in
the hot weather and someone possibly falling in the holes and breaking a
leg. Jose stated that the Department is aware of this problem and that it is
possibly a broken sprinkler head.
11) Commission Orals: Continued
• Chairperson Reed - She attended a workshop on the Ham Park
Replacement Project last Saturday. Public Hearings will start in May
regarding the Ham Park replacement park. Chairperson Reed hopes that
we will have our 5m Commissioner appointed by then. There was an article
in the Wave newspaper on the park being finished in 2009. Mr. Trejo stated
that the City is working with the State and School Board. Phase I is
landscaping, Phase II is construction. Chairperson Reed stated that she
needs dates for the next meetings for Lynwood Meadows Park and Rose
Park. She is being asked questions and she can't give the correct answers.
Chairperson Reed commented that John Soltis and Pauline Galbraith were
honored at a recent Council meeting for their many years of dedicated
service to the City of Lynwood. Mr. Soltis served as a Karate Instructor and
Ms. Galbraith as an Aerobics Instructor.
Chairperson Reed also commented on the budget crunch being felt by all
U.S. cities. The National Recreation & Parks Association is trying to fund
programs. The City of Lynwood is always conducting free events and
feeding people. We need to look at the fee schedule and start charging.
She commented that the Senior Center can be used as a rental facility.
Jose stated that the senior citizens held agoal-setting workshop about
iwo-weeks ago at which rentals were discussed. Further workshops will be
held to discuss programming. There is a fee schedule currently in place.
12) Adjournment:
