MINUTES <br />PARKS & REC COMMISSION <br />JUNE 3, 2021 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />7 <br />Commissioner Chu stated that perhaps the theme is not fully incorporated into the features of the <br />park but the ongoing programming at the park, which would provide more flexibility and the <br />ability to continue to adapt over time. <br /> <br />Chair Miller stated that he agrees that there should be work on the theme to narrow that down <br />and receive input from the public. <br /> <br />Mr. Shields encouraged the group to think about organizations that could be partners in that <br />process as that could help to guide the direction as well. He thanked everyone for taking the <br />time to review the presentation tonight and provide input. <br /> <br />Miller introduced the following motion: <br /> <br />MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CONSIDERATIONS OF THE TWO DESIGN <br />OPTIONS FOR THE PLAY NODE AND BASED UPON THE COMMENTS MADE <br />TONIGHT. <br /> <br /> The foregoing motion was duly seconded by Horwath. <br /> Ayes (7). Nays (0). Motion passed. <br /> <br />OLD BUSINESS: RETURN TO IN-PERSON MEETINGS <br />The Community Services Manager stated that the City has been operating under an Executive <br />Order which has allowed meetings to be held virtually. He stated that the City Council is <br />moving back to in-person meetings and with the anticipation of the emergency powers of the <br />Governor ending, the option to meet virtually will go away. He stated that the Commission will <br />return to in-person meetings in July and could also consider holding park tours again as well. <br /> <br />Commissioner Chu commented that if they continue to go back to only allowing in-person <br />participation in local government meetings, that would seem to be behind the times. <br /> <br />Chair Miller agreed but noted that decision is made on a State level and that option should <br />continue to be discussed in that format. He also hoped that more flexibility would be allowed to <br />increase public participation. <br /> <br />Commissioner Chu asked if there would be an appropriate format to voice those opinions. <br /> <br />The Community Services Manager commented that he could follow up with other City staff to <br />determine the best method to provide those opinions. <br /> <br />NEW BUSINESS <br />None. <br /> <br />UPDATES
