Recreation Advisory Board Minutes March 17, 2025 Page 4 of 5 areas for future residential growth. Dick: we need more landscaping with any new residential growth. Jeff: we don't have guidelines for multifamily design standards which could be included in the Comp Plan. Dan: north of Redtail Ridge, is that within the City limits? Jeff: no. Everett: what about design standards for downtown? Jeff: this Plan would allow some residential growth (e.g., a condo above a restaurant) to maintain the City's character. Kathy: RAB has focused in the past on maintaining existing recreational facilities. Lisa: yes, this has been part of RAB's workplan priorities. Jeff: we will keep the RAB informed about our Plan development as part of public engagement. Staff Updates • Recreation and Senior Center Updates 1. Aquatic Amenity Update — Paul Borth We have $75,000 in the CIP for adding splash pool enhancements. Focus is on infants and preschoolers who can't use other pool areas safely. This includes a newer and safer portable slide. We are limited by what we can fit in the wading pool and the existing plumbing (see visual slides included with these meetings). We are looking at new portable slide designs. Other play structures will be replaced. We will replace the overhead three showers with something that is more kid friendly. Total improvements would be at least $55,000 and would be made during the LRC's maintenance week. Jets would remain as permanent structures. Dan: could the entry door from the family dressing room to the pool area swing both ways? Kathy: we could look into this. Lisa: motion to approve these proposed amenities was accepted. 2. General Updates — Kathy • Golf Updates — GM Position Hiring Update — Kathy Initial interviews were done on Zoom. Four candidates were called back for in person interviews and then toured the Golf Course. We are happy with the four finalists. Michele: we never heard back on our feedback to include RAB in the interview process, etc. Lisa: this is a similar sentiment from all Boards. It appears we are being ignored. Kathy: the RAB should address this concern in its presentation to the City Council. We expect a decision on this position by next week when Adam is back. Dick: I'm concerned about the City's (i.e., Ryder's) lack of response on the use of enterprise funds (e.g., loans). There has been no follow up. It appears we have to wait for the City Manager to address this.
