PUBLIC INPUT Citizens may speak to issues not on tonight’s agenda. Before speaking, please give your full name and address. Please limit your comments to three minutes. No residents present 6. STAFF REPORTS A. YMCA: See attached report. Event Center, Park Building and gym rentals are up from previous years. Proposal to have set times for reserving park buildings. 8-11am, 12-5pm, 6- 10pm so that leaves time for clean up between reservations, and deter rentals between 4-8 with dragging it out to 10 o’clock PM. The proposed times are frequently reserved already. The 12-5 pm time slot would flex one way or the other (12-4 or 1-5). The 8-11 time slot could flex the fee and charge per hour, or could be flexed to 8-12, 1-4 if there are multiple bookings for the date. Discussed putting up signs in park buildings that show that groups have the building reserved at certain times, so that visitors know there is another group coming out, or residents who may want to grill but did not reserve the building, know they have to leave for a reserved party. The Commission recommends trying the set time slots and see how it works. Music-in-the-Park and Movies-in-the-Park are successful. One more of each in August! B. Public Works: See attached report. Re-chipping three parks. EAB- homeowners with trees that have been identified with possible disease issues will receive a letter by the end of July regarding what steps need to be followed. 7.
