Chairperson Wood stated that the Dodger organization no longer allows the general public on the ball fields. Season tickets and reserve seating tickets are available in blocks. Weeknight tickets are offered but require that students be out after midnight. Discount tickets are no longer sold for $4; we have to pay the full $9 price. Commissioner Salazar asks if we've talked to any other ticket vendors. Mr. Flores stated that no one wants to offer discounts. Chairperson Wood commented that it's all about money with the Dodgers and the Lakers. Mr. Flores remarked that the Angels are friendlier anyway. Chairperson Wood stated that the mascot from the Long Beach Armada is coming out. XI) COmmISSIOn Orals: (Please abide by the 3-minute time limit for each Commissioner) Chairperson Wood - He inquired on the status of Ham Park. Chairperson Wood stated that he never sees more than 3 or 4 people working on the project. Mr. Flores stated that Ham Park should be ready by mid-July if there are no weather set-backs. Chairperson Wood stated that questions are asked but answers not given. Mr. Flores commented that the architects don't ask specifics on use. Chairperson Wood also mentioned that Commissioners were told they would be included in the decision-making process; they were told that the architects would listen to what they had to say. Chairperson Wood said they were never contacted about security - a fence or a guard. Mr. Flores stated that there is no money for a building, only the soccer and baseball fields; however, Supervisor Burke donated a trailer for our use. It was placed close to the 105 Freeway and not in the middle of the park. If you're in the trailer you can't see the park in order to supervise. It's approximately a 3-block distance to get to the other side of the park. Mr. Flores stated that bodies such as the Recreation & Parks Commission must make noise about these issues. Chairperson Wood stated that the Baseball field is too close to Atlantic. Only small children that can't hit hard will be able to play ball. Also children like to chase foul balls. A huge fence will be needed to keep them safe. Mr. Flores stated that unfortunately the Department was not informed of some of the actions taking place regarding Ham Park. Chairperson Wood stated that the architects didn't want anyone to know what was being done. • Commissioner Harper -She stated that more common sense should have been used when designing the park. Congratulates all Commissioners on doing a great job on the Commission. Commissioner Harper also proudly shared a copy of the Spring 2009 issue of the NAMI Advocate magazine. She and her grandson are featured in a photo taken in Santa Monica last October at the NAMI Walk (The National Alliance for Mental Illness). The next NAMI Walk will take place on Saturday, October 3, 2009. All monies collected will go to the Los Angeles NAMI affiliate. President Obama is also featured on the cover of the Spring 2009 issue Commission Orals: Continued of the NAMI Advocate magazine. Commissioner Harper plans to request a grant for NAMI from one of the organizations supported by Michelle Obama.
