MINUTES <br />PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION <br />JANUARY 9, 2020 <br /> <br />The Community Services Manager reported that the terms for both <br />Commissioners Horwath and Chu are expiring, and both have reapplied <br />for appointment. He stated that the new terms have been approved and <br />would therefore be extended through 2022. He stated that Commissioner <br />Miller was appointed as the Chair for 2020, but a Vice-Chair still needs to <br />be appointed for the Commission. <br /> <br />Ray made a motion to nominate Ron Horwath as Vice-Chair. Chu <br />seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved <br />(Horwath abstained). <br /> <br /> <br />The Community Services Manager reported that a draft meeting schedule <br />for 2020 was included in the Commission packet. He noted the schedule <br />change for the January meeting and advised that the schedule is a bit <br />different because of the leap year. He referenced the July 2nd meeting <br />date, which the Commission may want to reschedule. <br /> <br />Commissioner Horwath asked if the recommended date to change to in <br />July would then be July 9th. <br /> <br />The Community Services Manager replied that the Planning Commission <br />meets on the second Thursday of the month. He stated that in the past <br />they have avoided holding two meetings on one night but noted that if the <br />Commission is okay with meeting at 5:30 p.m. on that date, he would not <br />see a conflict. <br /> <br />Horwath made a motion to approve the 2020 schedule to change the <br />July 2nd meeting date to July 9th at 5:30 p.m. Darling seconded the <br />motion. The motion was unanimously approved. <br /> <br /> <br />The Community Services Manager reported that there has been discussion <br />about perhaps adding a youth member to the Commission and welcomed <br />the youth present in the audience to provide contact information if <br />interested. He stated that the Strategic Plan initiative mentioned getting <br />youth involved in the Commissions, but staff is unsure of what that will <br />look like as of yet. <br /> <br />Commissioner Horwath stated that this is a good time for the Commission <br />to start thinking of the input that they can provide to staff on this topic as <br />well. <br /> <br />The Community Services Manager commented that a lot of the Master <br />Plan was based on feedback received from the youth community.
