UP THE ISSUE IF YOU YEAH, YEAH.WE'RE CALL TO ORDER THE MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION.
MR. DIRECTOR, WOULD YOU TAKE ROLE? THANK YOU.
PRESENT, UM, VICE CHAIR REDFIELD HERE.
AND WE DID GET AN EXCUSED ABSENCE FROM COMMISSIONER YTE SMITH.
UH, THE REGULAR AGENDA, UH, MOTION TO RECOMME, UH, RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING OF MAY 9TH, 2024.
CAN I GET A MOTION? SO MOVED AND I WILL SECOND.
UH, WE HAVE THAT AND IT'S LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.
WE HAD A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER REDFIELD.
SECOND BY COMMISSIONER LIVINGSTON.
RECOMMENDATION TO DISCUSS THE AGENDA FOR THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING OF JUNE 20TH, 2024.
CAN I GET A MOTION? SO MOVED AND I WILL SECOND WE'LL TURN IT OVER TO THE DIRECTOR.
SO, UM, FOR THE, UM, MEETING NEXT THURSDAY, WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 20TH, UM, AT NINE O'CLOCK OVER AT THE DR. THOMAS J. CLARK COMMUNITY CENTER, UM, WE, UH, HIGHLIGHT ONCE AGAIN IN OUR PRESENTATIONS, OUR EMPLOYEE THE MONTH.
UM, WE DO HAVE THAT EVENT TO SURPRISE THE PERSON RECOGNIZED ON OUR SCHEDULE FOR NEXT MONDAY.
UH, SO THAT INDIVIDUAL WILL BE BROUGHT FORWARD, UH, TOWARDS THE BEGINNING AFTER OUR PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.
AND THEN ON THE REGULAR AGENDA, UM, AGAIN, THE MEETING MINUTES THAT YOU JUST REVIEWED AND APPROVED WILL BE THE NUMBER ONE AGENDA ITEM.
AND THEN I, I DO KNOW AT THE, UH, FINANCE AND APPEALS COMMITTEE MEETING, YOU WERE ABLE TO REVIEW, UH, FOUR, FOUR REQUESTS.
THE, THE NUMBER OF FEE WAIVER REQUESTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR POLICY.
SO THAT WOULD BE YOUR SECOND ACTION ITEM.
AND THEN, UH, THE THIRD ONE IS, IS A PERSONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT.
UH, THAT'S, THAT WILL BE PRESENTED BY OUR ACTING PARK PLANNING AND PARTNERSHIPS BUREAU MANAGER? NO, THIS IS ACTUALLY THE PSAS IS GLADYS.
AND THAT'S THE PSAS USUALLY THAT'S JUST THE STANDARD.
THAT'S THE STUFF THAT GOES IN THE BOOK.
THAT GOES IN THE YEAH, LIKE A WRITE EVENT ENTRY THEN.
SO THAT I STAND CORRECTED IN THAT REGARD.
AND THEN, UH, ITEM FOUR FOR THE SECOND PAGE, THAT IS A RIGHT EVENT ENTRY.
AND THAT'S FOR, UM, HAS SOMEBODY TAKEN OVER FOR SOWING THE SEEDS FOR THE IS DOWN AT THE BAHATI BUILDING? YEAH.
IT, UM, DRAKE CHAVEZ, UH, GREENVILLE AREA.
I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY ISN'T, ISN'T IT THAT AT THE BAHATI BUILDING? MM-HMM.
IS THERE A URBAN FARM THERE? YEAH.
THAT'S SEWING SEEDS OF CHANGE.
HAVEN'T WE HAD ISSUES WITH THAT BEFORE? WHO WAS GOING TO MANAGE IT? OR IS THAT A DIFFERENT, MY UNDERSTANDING IS WHEN WE WENT WITH, SO THE SEEDS, THEY ARE THERE ALL THE TIME.
AND SO HAVING THAT ACTIVATED WAS AWESOME.
I MEAN, THERE'S STILL A LITTLE BIT OF GRAFFITI AND STUFF YOU CAN'T AVOID, BUT I, WHOEVER, IF SOME, IF SWINGING THE SEEDS IS LEAVING AND SOMEBODY ELSE WANTS TO TAKE OVER, IT'S A GREAT ACTIVATION OF THAT.
IT'S, IT, IT KEEPS THAT MM-HMM.
AND THEN, UM, ITEM FIVE, IT, IT REALLY REFLECTS ANOTHER GREAT PARTNERSHIP.
THIS IS WITH, UH, AGAIN, ANOTHER RITE OF ENTRY PERMIT, BUT IT'S WITH AMERICAN YOUTH SOCCER, A YSO.
AND THAT'S, UM, THEIR COMMITMENT TO HELP WITH, UH, ANNUAL FIELD IMPROVEMENTS, UH, AT HARTWELL PARK, IN PARTICULAR FIELD SIX AND SEVEN IN THE GOAL AREAS.
SO WE APPRECIATE THAT PARTNERSHIP.
ARE THEY GOING TO, THEY'RE JUST GONNA REDO THE GOAL AREAS.
THAT'S THE HEAVIEST IMPACTED AREA FOR THE TURF AREAS.
UH, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING, ACTUALLY TWO THINGS.
ITEM SIX AND SEVEN WE'VE BEEN REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO, AND THAT'S THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE VISION PLANS.
THE FIRST BEING OVER AT DISTRICT SIX, THE MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
AND THEN FOLLOWING THAT ONE, AND THESE WILL BOTH BE PRESENTED BY CITY FABRIC, BY THE WAY.
THEIR STAFF CITY FABRIC THERE, THE CONSULTANT THAT LED, UM, OUTREACH AND THEN THE, THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE, THE VISION PLANS AND THEN FOLLOWING MARTIN LUTHER KING, ITEM SEVEN WILL BE THE SHEAR PARK VISION PLAN.
UH, AGAIN, THE COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE VERY ENTHUSED ABOUT, UH, SEEING THEM ADVANCE TO THE PARK COMMISSION.
AND THEN, UH, I THINK BECAUSE THEY WOULD EACH DESIRE THEIR VISION PLAN TO HAVE KIND OF, UH, ITS OWN SPOTLIGHT.
I'M NOT SURE WHEN IT GOES TO COUNCIL
[00:05:01]
WHICH MONTH OR WHICH MEETING, BUT THEY'LL PROBABLY BE SEPARATE.EACH WILL BE AT A MEETING THAT'S JUST FOR INFORMATION.
BUT, UH, SO IS, IS THIS SOMETHING WE SHOULD RECEIVE AND FILE OR IS THIS SOMETHING THAT AS THE PARKS COMMISSION WITH SUPREME AUTHORITY OVER RECREATION THAT WE SHOULD BE SUPPORTING AND RECOMMENDING TO COUNSEL? YES.
UHHUH
TO RECEIVE AND, AND RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL? RECOMMEND OR RECOMMEND.
I PROBABLY PROBABLY RECOMMEND TO THE MANAGER I'D LOOK AT THE WORDING, BUT I THINK WE RECOMMEND THINGS TO THE CITY MANAGER.
AND SO IF WE CAN JUST CHECK THAT CLARITY ON THAT.
UM, AND THEN, UM, ITEM EIGHT, ANOTHER THING THAT I KNOW THE COMMISSION'S BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE OF, AND THAT'S ART IN PUBLIC SPACES.
AND THIS IS, UM, WITH, UM, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ARTS COUNCIL OF LONG BEACH, BUT THIS IS, UH, A GROUP OF EIGHT MURALS AND IT'S FOR THE PRODUCTION AND MAINTENANCE.
SO I LIKE TO ALSO STRESS THAT IT INCLUDES MAINTENANCE AND THEN IT LISTS THE, THE PARKS.
SO IT'S, UH, CALLED MENTION IT FOR THE MEETING MINUTES, BIXBY PARK, RECREATION PARK, EL DORADO PARK.
THESE ARE THE COMMUNITY CENTERS BY THE WAY.
UH, HARTWELL PARK COMMUNITY CENTER, MCBRIDE PARK GYMNASIUM, UH, THE RAMONA PARK COMMUNITY CENTER, DAVENPORT PARK.
AND THEN ON THE BASKETBALL COURTS ON 14TH STREET.
SO THAT'LL BE ACTUALLY ON THE COURTS.
SO WILL, WILL THE PACKET INCLUDE PICTURES OF THESE SO THAT WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON? YEAH, I THINK AND WHETHER WE HAVE CONCERNS.
BUT I KNOW THEY WERE STILL, UH, RECEIVING, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD INPUT FOR THE 14TH STREET BASKETBALL COURTS IN PARTICULAR.
I JUST HAD MY COUNCIL DISTRICT ONE BRIEFING THIS WEEK.
AND I THINK THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT BOOKS AND BUCKETS WAS HELPFUL IN PARTICULAR.
'CAUSE THEY'VE COORDINATED A LOT OF, UH, THE YOUTH BEING INVOLVED IN, IN THAT SUPPORT.
SO I THINK THAT MAY BE, UM, BUT WE CAN FIND OUT.
I, I PERSONALLY HAVEN'T SEEN ARTWORK.
IT WILL INCLUDE THE PROPOSED MURAL IDEAS.
BASKETBALL COURT, UM, IDEAS AND THE PROPOSED LOCATIONS.
AND THEN, UM, ITEM NINE IS OUR, IS MY REGULAR MONTHLY DIRECTOR'S HIGHLIGHTS.
AND THEN WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT.
SO I, UM, I HAVE MENTIONED THIS TO VICE CHAIR REDFIELD.
I TALKED TO THE CLERK'S OFFICE WHEN THEY WERE HERE FOR THE GULF ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND THEY SAID THAT WE SHOULD HAVE THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS IN JULY TO TAKE OVER IN AUGUST.
BUT THAT IT WOULD ALL, IT COULD ALSO BE DONE NOW.
SO IT COULD BE DONE IF YOU WANT IT, IT DONE ON THE JUNE MEETING FOR ME TO HAVE THE ELECTION OF THE NEW, NEW CHAIR AND NEW VICE CHAIR.
OTHERWISE, IF I'M NOT THERE, SUSAN WOULD HAVE TO OPEN THE MEETING AND THEN DO THE ELECTION.
ARE YOU GONNA CHAIR, WHICH THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, BUT ARE YOU COMFORTABLE RUNNING THE MEETING WHERE THEY'LL BE VOTING YOU TO ASCEND? YEAH.
SEE, I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THAT.
SO THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE AN AGENDA ITEM.
AND I, SOME OTHER COMMISSIONS HAVE DONE IT.
SO YOU CAN FIND THE LANGUAGE OR THE CLERK, THE CLERK CAN PROBABLY SEND YOU THE LANGUAGE SURE.
ON HOW THEY, THEY KIND OF LIKE THE UNIFORMITY.
BUT THEN WE'LL HAVE THAT ELECTION FOR CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR AND THEN WHOEVER, YOU'LL GET LEADERSHIP, WHOEVER, WHOEVER IS ELECTED CAN TAKE OVER IN JULY IF THEY'RE THERE.
YEAH, I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE.
AND THEN THAT WOULD, UM, AND WOULD THAT BE ITEM 10 AFTER HIS REPORT OR SHOULD WE MAKE NO, IT'D PROBABLY BEFORE MY REPORT.
IT WOULD, UM, I GUESS I THINK THEY DO IT UNDER NEW BUSINESS.
SO AS I SAID, CHECK, UH, IF YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE UTILITIES COMMISSIONS, 'CAUSE THEY ELECT SOMEBODY EVERY YEAR.
AND THEY, THEY FOLLOW THE SCRIPT.
UM, BUT UM, THE CLERK WOULD HAVE THE SCRIPT THAT THEY PREFER TO USE AND THEY'VE STARTED DOING IT AT THE END OF THE MEETING BEFORE AND SINCE JULY IS TECHNICALLY THE START OF THE, AND THAT I THINK IS THE MEETING WHERE WE BOTH STARTED AND CASEY.
YEAH, I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE.
AS LONG AS YOU'RE COMFORTABLE ACTUALLY, YOU'LL BE MORE COMFORTABLE THIS FAR.
WELL THEN WE'LL MISS YOU IN JULY.
UM, YOU'RE NOT LEAVING OUT A PROTEST BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE FIREWORKS, RIGHT? NO.
I GO UP ON THE UP A TOP OF CHERRY HILL AND I SEE MORE FIREWORKS THAN
WELL I THINK WE ACCOMPLISHED OUR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING THE AGENDA.
[00:10:01]
PUBLIC, ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? UH, ANY STAFF COMMENT? ANY OTHER COMMENT FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? NO.HEARING NONE, WE WILL ADJOURN THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AT 3 49.
