INTRODUCTIONS Public Works Director introduced City Traffic Engineer Gary Heap and Engineer Julie Oates, who will be presenting on the Capital Improvement Projects. March 28, 2023 6:00 PM Page 2 of 4 Parks and Recreation Commission Regular Meeting Minutes 8. PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA Resident Terence Fugazzi spoke about the state of the city’s dog parks. He feels they are worse now than when he previously spoke about it to the commission. At the Third Street dog park, trees are missing, the turf is in poor shape, the small dog area is still inadequate in size, and the gate is loose, which enables dogs to get out easily. He does not recommend upgrading Las Animas Veteran Park’s dog park and instead focus on the dog park at Hecker Pass Park. 9. NEW BUSINESS 9.1. Parks and Recreation Commission Review of FY24-28 Capital Improvement Program Projects Engineer Heap presented his report to the Commission. Chair Ramirez advocated for a parks and recreation master plan, arguing that there needs to be a guiding force when planning for the future. He contended the City is always reacting to situations, rather than being pro-active. Public Works Director Jordan estimated it would cost approximately $500,000. Heap said he could add that in as part of the Commission’ recommendations. Bentson recommended that Public Works staff include, in the narrative, the need for Council to reestablish a park impact fee, which will support future maintenance. Commissioner Puente advocated for sidewalk repairs along Rancho Hills Drive. Public comment was made by Fugazzi. He was in support of developing a Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Ramirez motioned that the Commission select their top recommendations from the CIP list. Ramirez advocated for the upgrades to the softball field (#900690) and the Parks and Recreation Master Plan; Puente concurred about the softball field; Graham advocated for upgrades to the Miller/Uvas Trail (#900100); Bentson supported new fencing for the tennis courts at Las Animas Veterans Park (#800120). These items would be the one recommended to Council to be adopted into the CIP. RESULT: Pass MOVER: Luis Ramirez, Chair SECONDER Ermelindo Puente, Commissioner AYES: Commissioner Puente, Chair Ramirez, Commissioner Bentson, Commissioner Graham 10. OLD BUSINESS 10.1. Parks & Recreation Commission Fiscal Year 2024 and Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Requests At the previous meeting, the Commission identified four items for possible recommendations to Council for the upcoming budget cycle: 1. Playground shade structure – Graham said it begins at around $15k. Jordan believes it is starting at around $25k. March 28, 2023 6:00 PM Page 3 of 4 Parks and Recreation Commission Regular Meeting Minutes 2. Astroturf at dog park – Ramirez estimated that upgrades to a dog park could be about $50k. He does not recommend turf, but other elements such as planting of mature trees, dog toys, benches, and shade structure. 3. Master Plan – Henig received a cost estimate between $250k-$300k. Since this was approved for the CIP, the Commission decided not to include it in its budget request. 4. Park Ranger – Puente informed the Commission that he received a cost estimate from Santa Clara County that was in the amount of $2.5 million for six rangers, which would come out to approximately $425,000 per ranger. Public comment was provided by Fugazzi, who mentioned that he is in support of recommending more funding for the Third Street dog park. Following deliberation, commission supported recommending to City Council that they set aside $50,000 for improvements to the dog parks. RESULT: Pass MOVER: Luis Ramirez, Chair SECONDER Ermelindo Puente, Commissioner AYES: Commissioner Puente, Chair Ramirez, Commissioner Bentson, Commissioner Graham 10.2. Formal Adoption and Review of 2023 Parks & Recreation Commission Work Plan The Commission made the following updates to their proposed 2023 work plan: • Host Arbor Day: Bentson recommended having it at a dog park, either Las Animas Veterans Park or Hecker Pass, given the need for shade.
