VI) Approval of Past Minutes: Chairperson Reed requests that a motion be made for approval of the minutes for the Recreation & Parks Commission meeting held in March 2007. Commissioner Espeseth motions that the minutes be approved. Vice Chairperson Salazar seconds the motion. All Commissioners vote in favor of approving the minutes as written and the motion is carried. Ayes: 3 Noes: 0. VII) Correspondence: None VIII) Public Orals: Irene Garcia, 2737 111`" Street, inquired about parking at the new Ham Park. Currently there is no set number of spaces. The architects will work with staff to accommodate as many vehicles as possible. Ix) Scheduled Matters: A. Arsenio Frontela, Public Works, CIP Division, introduced the LPA Architects currently working on the design for the Ham Park Replacement Project. The architects proceeded to display a PowerPOint presentation of three different concept plans. These plans were created from the information gathered during the Lynwood Community Workshop held on 3/17/07. The architects discussed all three Master Plan schemes in detail and provided the Commissioners with a handout of the PowerPOint presentation. After discussion on the different concept plans, Chairperson Reed called for a vote to Ix) Scheduled Matters: Continued recommend scheme 3 of the Master Plan to the City Council. Commissioner Espeseth motioned to support scheme 3, Vice Chairperson Salazar seconded the motion. All Commissioners voted in favor of this motion. Ayes: 3 Noes: 0. Scheme 3 of the Master Plan will be recommended to the City Council for the Ham Park Replacement Park Project. The following are some of the issues discussed by the Commissioners and architects: • Tot Lots -Ham Park had several Tot Lots the new park will have one Tot Lot with a Youth Park across Atlantic Avenue. The two Soccer fields are a priority to the community. • Phase ~ -This phase consists of the green component that provides landscaping, trees, plants, water run-off, etc. Phase II is the construction component. The main restroom will be in the community building in the middle of the park. There may be another restroom near the ball fields. • The architects will work with staff on fencing the projects. Entry points into the park are being identified. The main reason this firm was chosen is because of their "green" sustainability. They incorporate recycled materials, water efficient fixtures, day lighting, natural ventilation, utilize reclaimed water, etc. • Dan Ojeda, Director of Public Works is working on acquiring funds from Caltrans and MTA. Currently the project has four-million dollars for the green component only. Lighting - Several levels of energy efficient lighting will be provided for the ball fields. Batting Cage - A batting cage was considered as a source of revenue and has come up for discussion. It is not a priority for the community at this time. Participants at the Community Workshop held on 3/'17 had the opportunity to list their priorities for the park in a workbook. A walking trail was the number one priority, followed by the soccer fields and lighting. • Funding -Vice Chairperson Salazar commented that AYSO is receiving assistance from Nike and Citibank. He will provide leads to Mr. Trejo. Mr. Trejo will in turn work with Public Works on this possibility. Chairperson Reed stated that we're interested in all potential funding sources. • Grass -Vice Chairperson Salazar stated that the grassy area must be properly maintained or it will turn to dirt. Many of the sports participants are gardeners and have commented that often the wrong kind of grass seed is planted. Ground maintenance for the new park has been discussed at planning meetings. Bermuda grass is recommended. However, a special mower is needed to IX) Scheduled Matters: Continued mow this grass and this may pose a budget issue. This will be addressed when the project advances to that stage. • Commissioners will be kept abreast of developments. A Recreation & Parks Commissioner should attend the next planning meeting. B. Lynwood Multiple Benefit/Multiple Use Project Identification Meeting - Mr. Alex Kenefick, Watershed Coordinator will host a meeting at Plaza Mexico. The meeting is scheduled for 3 p.m. on 5/16/07 in La Huasteca's upstairs banquet room. This project is a component of the Corridor Study to widen the 710 Freeway. The Recreation & Parks Commission is invited to attend this meeting to provide their ideas and suggestions on the use of the open space along the 710 Freeway river- bed. The designers are looking for input in terms of proposed projects for bicycle lanes, walking trails, art work, and wetlands. City staff, Lynwood community activists, and local government representatives will be in attendance at this meeting. Mr. Trejo stated that the Master Plan can be found on a website. Vice Chairperson Salazar requests that Mr. Trejo email the website address to him. The Minutes Clerk will remind the Commissioners of the meeting closer to the meeting date. X) Staff Reports: A. Facility Usage Report -Attached for review. Chairperson Reed asks for comments. B. Division Monthly Reports -The report was passed out at the meeting by Mr. Trejo. Attendance is being reviewed to see if feasible to keep offering certain classes and programs or possibly exploring other options. Chairperson Reed stated she believes there will be a difference in the programs being offered now that the Senior Citizens have a convenient and comfortable facility for conducting classes. Chairperson Reed requests that AARP and the Sr. Center Advisory Committee be removed from the Division Monthly Report. She inquires as to whether the Alma Latina dance group still meets. Mr. Trejo responded yes. Vice Chairperson Salazar asks about the music class. Mr. Trejo responded that we only facilitate the class. C. Current Programs/Activity Report - Mr. Trejo reported the following: The National Youth Services Day has been rescheduled. The weeds at the new Ham Park site are very tall and ROP youth are going to weed the area. • The Senior Center Grand Opening is scheduled for 4/28/07 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon. The location is 11329 Ernestine Avenue. XU Commission Orals: (Please abide by the 3-minute time limit for each Commissioner) • Commissioner Espeseth - No comment • Commissioner Mendoza -Absent • Chairperson Reed - No comment • Vice Chairperson Salazar -Inquired as to the level of awareness on grants. Mr. Trejo commented that some grants are not worth pursuing. The Department can't seek every lead. Good grants match funds. We need approval from the School District. If they aren't on board we can't obtain funds. Mr. Trejo requests that Commissioners bring ideas and he'll let them know whether they are feasible or not. He also stated that the City is working to centralize grants. Every Department Head has chosen a department representative to attend grant meetings. Vice Chairperson Salazar stated that he sent an email request for a Positive Coaching Alliance professor from Stanford to provide positive reinforcement. The City of Pico Rivera has .provided this on a City level. Can the City of Lynwood apply for grants so that parents can attend workshops? Sponsors such as Nike can pay for on-site workshops to be held at Bateman Hall. This would be good to implement with all sports programs. Mr. Trejo asked how often Soccer workshops are held. Vice Chairperson Salazar stated that a workshop is held annually in the month of March to establish ground rules and get everyone on the same page. XIU AdJOUrnment: The meeting was adjourned at 6:25 p.m. The next regularly scheduled meeting will be held on May 22, 2007 in the Lynwood City Hall Council Chambers.
