MEMO TO: Parks and Recreation Commissioners <br />FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Director Parks, R�!cr,!ation & Forestry <br />DATE: October 25, 1979 <br />RE: Possible Consultant Questions <br />i)ririnn the tW ..:x� r. + ..,Y., weeks i,ne nark Gomsrission will be hearing a number of <br />presentations from local planning firms and one of the issues each agency <br />has raised is an opportunity to respond to the Commissioners concerns and <br />questions. I am sure each of you have your own specific questions concern- <br />ing the development of the comprehensive plan and the relationship between <br />the planning firm and the Commission, and I would strongly encourage you to <br />ask them following the firm's presentations. <br />To assist you with this process, I have developed the 'ollowing questions <br />that may be of interest to the Commission: <br />1. What do you invision the role of the consultant firm between the: <br />a. Staff <br />b. Planning Commission <br />c. City Council <br />2. What basic design concepts would your firm employ to keep both main- <br />tenance and vandalism costs down in the development of the Mounds <br />View park system? <br />3. Has your firm had any direct experience in working with park refer- <br />endums, if yes, what is your success ratio? <br />4. What new trends or programs do you foresee the Parks and Recreation <br />profession becoming involved in that we should be planning for now? <br />S. Both lit athletic complexes and underground irrigation systems have <br />been under serious scrutiny during the past five years because of the <br />impending energy crunch. Do you have any thoughts of relationship of <br />direct benefit to energy consumption regarding lit facilities and <br />irrigation systems. <br />Once again, these are merely potential questions and I would encourage you to <br />raise your concerns first. <br />
