MINUTES PARKS & REC COMMISSION JANUARY 7, 2021 2 Schletty introduced the following motion: NOMINATING AND APPOINTING RON HORWATH AS VICE-CHAIR OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION The foregoing motion was duly seconded by Chu. Ayes (6). Nays (0). Abstain (1) (Horwath) Motion passed. The Community Services Manager stated that the City Code was included in the packet, specific to this Commission. He noted that this has not been updated since 2013 and welcomed any questions or comments. Commissioner Chu commented that she does have a lot of questions and agreed to send those questions in writing to staff so that information can be shared with the group. Commissioner Hipp stated that her questions were mostly centered around how the duties and responsibilities have been completed and shared in the past. Chair Miller commented on the typical procedure that the group follows. Commissioner Chu stated that when reviewing the list, she is unsure how much the group has done towards certain items listed. The Community Services Manager commented that the group worked a lot on the Parks Master Plan which became a part of the Comprehensive Plan. He commented that he does not believe the Commission has ever had to serve as the City Tree Board, therefore that item is included more as a formality. OLD BUSINESS: PIONEER PARK PLANNING UPDATE The Community Services Manager provided an update noting that the next step would be to hold a joint workshop with the City Council to share the input received and ensure that both groups are on the same page moving forward. He anticipated that this could occur in early February and will follow up to check the availability of the Commissioners. Chair Miller commented that there were great presentations from the RCP students and suggested that perhaps not just the big items be the focus, as some of the smaller items may be able to be accomplished easier as this moves forward. Commissioner Hipp confirmed that she was able to watch the most recent presentation. She asked how long the RCP students would be involved.
