PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD
MINUTES - Regular Meeting: March 24, 1981
The meeting was called to order at 6:31 P.M. by Chairman Chuck Mayhugh.
Chuck introduced new Board members - Ann Schroeder (term expires July 1, 1981)
and Robert Aukerman (term expires July 1, 1982), and welcomed them both to
the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. Staff and other Board members in-
troduced themselves to Ann and Bob.
The minutes of the regular meeting of February 24, 1981,.were approved
unanimously on a motion by Mike ImMasche, seconded by Chuck Solano.
The Board decided not to elect a new Vice -Chairman at this time (replacing
Chuck Basham), but rather wait until new Board members are appointed in June.
Status of Community Parks Bond Issue
Chairman Mayhugh explained what we had done so far, and what our limitations
are in support of the Bond Issue in light of the advice received from the City
Attorney. This information was especially helpful to the two new Board members.
Then, Assistant to the Director, Jerry P. Brown, told the Board of a memo to the
City Manager keeping him aware of our involvement, and he also told the Board
about an upcoming series of stories to appear in the Coloradoan beginning next
week regarding Parks and Recreation in Fort Collins. These stories should,
hopefully, keep the public aware of our services and needs, and may prove
beneficial to the Bond Issue.
Other Business
- Director H. R. Phillips told the Board of the Award to our Department, and to
Suzy Danford, for our involvement and participation with the handicapped.
- H.R. explained the status of the boxing situation with the split of the two
groups and how we are handling it. Chuck Solano asked a few questions as to
the disposition of some boxing equipment.
- H.R. said bids are out for $36,000 worth of contract landscape maintenance to
several specialized areas. We will be comparing contractual vs. city work force
performance.
- H.R. stated that Community Development Block Grant money for the Buckingham
greenbelt may not be available because a private person has submitted a bid to
the owner for more money; but we will still probably be able to get a strip of
land that we could use.
- A potential ice rink developer met with H.R. about a site near Linden Tech
Center. We are requesting further information from him.
- The "Art -in -the -Park" program is still progressing.
- Jerry distributed a packet of information from Softball For All, Inc., that
was passed out by them at our softball meeting several weeks ago.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:00 P.M.
