Recreation Advisory Board Minutes March 18, 2019 Page 2 of 4 The modified minutes were approved by all members Motion: Debarros Second: Heuston Public Comments — None City Council Update • Jeff Lipton noted that many of the City Council finance Committee items relevant to the Recreation Advisory Board will not reach the City Council until 2020. Tennis and Pickleball Discussion —Nathan Mosley • Noting that soccer, football and possibly other sports should be added to a tennis and pickleball discussion, Nathan Mosley proposed a RAB subcommittee in 2020 to investigate the status of these sports in terms of demand, facilities available, potential priorities and costs for expanding and upgrading our facilities and offerings. • In the interim, pickleball lines will be placed on the roller rink. If possible, storage of pickleball equipment will be at or near the rink. • Jeff Lipton noted that it is the responsibility of the Recreation Advisory Board to be the advocate for all recreation. • Gene Kutscher proposed setting up a preliminary subcommittee now, to enable more immediate action if the opportunity presented itself. • Rich Bradfield added that a holistic look at all outdoor activities would be beneficial. • Lisa Norgard reviewed how the possibility of sharing facilities, such as with Lafayette, is difficult at present. • Audrey Debarros suggested that other interim solutions should be studied. Christin Heuston noted the potential of Cottonwood Park. Angie Layton added that surveys could be handed out to obtain community feedback. • An interim subcommittee consisting of Rich Bradfield and Gene Kutscher will meet with Kathy Martin to discuss goals and objectives for the future.
