CONFIRM PARK DIRECTIVE TO
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
CM Ealy reviewed information regarding the directive
to the Parks and Recreation Commission regarding the new city park
development.
Cr. Arnold stated that she wants to be sure this
meeting is not going to be a rehash of the placement of the skate park being
located at this park. She wants to be
sure they understand that the council has asked that the skate park be located
at this park and the group is to work to fit this in with other park uses. Council and staff agreed that the skate park
issue is not for debate at this meeting and feels everyone is aware that
council has already made the decision to place the skate park at the park.
The Council reviewed and revised the list of people
to invite to the meeting.
It was Council consensus to direct the Estacada
Parks and Recreation Commission to hold a public meeting on February 15, 2005
at City Hall at 7:00 pm to discuss master planning the new park on Wade Street
with stake holder’s in the community and to develop a “scope of work” that the
city will use in soliciting professional park development consultants. The Commission is asked to report its
findings at the February 28, 2005 Council meeting where the Council will have
staff finalize the scope of work and begin soliciting professional RFPs.
COUNCIL ANNUAL GOALSETTING
WORKSHOP - Agenda Discussion
CM Ealy stated he would like to hear individually from the councilors on what issues they want to discuss at the workshop. CM proposes to begin with a welcome and short visit period, review previous goals, have committee chair reports, discuss 2005 staff recommendations, and then spend some time to prioritize 2005 project work. The Council would like to have the chairs of city committees and commissions to attend to hear their wish lists.
Cr. Nelson stated that she feels it is fiscally irresponsible that the council does not see the bills list. Cr. Conditt explained that the council has approved the budget and budgeted items should not have to be approved again. Cr. Nelson and Cr. Hartwig would still like to have a list to keep track of spending. It was council consensus that a bills list be placed in Cr. Nelson’s and Cr. Hartwig’s boxes when they are done.
Cr. Hartwig stated that Ken Mahlum passed away on Wednesday and that the community would miss him very much.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 pm.
