of the City Council to direct the City Staff to prepare a policy statement to the
effect that any items which are brought before the City Council under oral or written
communications, which are of an urgent nature and would require action by the City
Council, would be summarized in a report from the Recreation and Park District
Director and transmitted to the Commission members on the day following the City
Council meeting; and, that matters which would not fall under the classification of
being urgent, would automatically be referred to the Recreation and Park Commission
for consideration.
Also discussed was the implementation of the various projects which were proposed
with the Park Bond Issue. With respect to the community center building, it was
the general consensus of the Council and Commission that a representative from the
City Council anda representative from the Recreation and Park Commission, who
might wish to participate, would work with the City Staff on the development of the
center. It was further felt that a tour of community centers which have been
developed in other cities would be beneficial.
Another item which was taken under consideration was for the Staff to look into the
possibility of a "Dial a Ride" transportation system, along with various other means
of providing local transportation.
The frequency of Joint meetings between the Recreation and Park Commission and the
City Council was mentioned, whereas it was the general consensus that they would be
scheduled on a quarterly basis.
At this time, the City Manager introduced Mr. Ed Wells from Bartle Wells Associates,
who reviewed the financial consulting services which his firm offers.
