5. City Council Liaison Report
The Cr. Arnold and the Commission discussed the
RecX event and who should sponsor the event.
The P&R Commission felt the Chamber of Commerce should sponsor the
event since it is more business related.
Becky stated that Nina really is trying to promote the businesses but it
is through the parks and recreational venue – that is the only reason the
Council thought the P&R Commission would sponsor it. Dennis and Zoe feel this is an event that
promotes recreation in Estacada and it should be promoted by the
Commission.
Consensus was to not be involved this year and to
send Nina a letter stating such. The
Commission may discuss future years events at a later date.
6. City Manager Report – no report.
7. Commission Business
Wade Creek Design – the consultant would like to
have 3 design proposals from P&R to show at the open house. The Commission discussed the general location
they would like to see the skate park and felt the other things will just fit
in around it Phil stated the next
meeting will be the open house and that is when the community and the
commission will have final input on the park layout. The Commission would like to review the
proposal before the open house. It was
decided to have the open house on May 17th and the Commission will
meet with the consultant an hour before the public open house. The Commission would like to receive the
drawings a few days before the open house.

9. Commission Report & Comments
Dianna reported that she would step down as chair and appoint Steve as the new chair. She has been doing this for a long time and her personal life is more demanding so this change would be better for her. Consensus was to appoint Steve as the Chair and Lisa as the vice chair.
As vice chair, Lisa would like the Commissioners to come to the meeting prepared to approve the minutes without reading them at the meeting.
