7 <br />Meeting time options were discussed. Mary Jane prefers workshops be held 5pm <br />– 7pm quarterly, with fewer topics necessary in 2008 than in 2007. Various <br />efficiency topics will be addressed at the retreat. Since the scheduled time of <br />meetings brought challenges to all commissioners, it was decided to table this <br />decision until joined by new members in 2008. <br />Des suggested we establish the meeting times for the first quarter, then <br />reconsider when the new members come on board. Paul suggested the first <br />meeting in January could be 6:00-7:30 with the following retreat, and changes <br />could be considered. <br />Dianne motioned to establish a monthly two-hour meeting with up to a two-hour <br />workshop quarterly in February, May, August and November at Spruce Hall. <br />Seconded by Des. All in favor, no opposition. <br />LIONS PARK MASTER PLAN UPDATE—John Petersen presented the Lions <br />Park Master plan using a color handout as well as a two-page narrative. <br />Estimated cost from CIP3 is still being determined. Dianne asked about trail <br />surface, which John replied that it will be something like "gravel pave". The <br />paths are not present at this time, and a restroom will not be included. Paul <br />added that this concept successfully utilizes input from the neighborhood and <br />commission members and asks for a recommendation for adoption. <br />Des appreciates the open space as well as staff and neighborhood input. He <br />stressed concern regarding amount of pathways. Paul explained we will review <br />the surface types available and reminded members that trails are important to the <br />community. Dianne asked about the number of parking spaces, and John <br />explained that the Boys and Girls Club would be able to use them as well. <br />Kathryn motioned to recommend approval of Lions Park Master Plan to city <br />council, seconded by Dianne. No opposition. <br />Therefore, SEPA work will conclude, and then go to council for approval. <br />SIGNAGE AND MAPS PROGRAMS—Jeff Price provided handouts of a <br />PowerPoint presentation explaining our upcoming Maps and Signage program. <br />Plan is covered in appendix A of the strategic plan, and is expected to be <br />completed in 2008. Mary Jane asked if we're working with the city to be <br />consistent, Paul replied our informational and marketing component is reviewed <br />by administration and all information is consistent and supportive of city <br />practices. <br />John complimented his staff regarding the Forest Park sign repair that resulted in <br />our staff successfully repairing the sign for a substantial cost savings. Paul <br />added that citizen comments regarding Legion Park have been very positive. <br />25 <br />
