On the use of CDBG Funds, we need to look at where we can <br /> get the most use and development. We need to invest to <br /> enhance our facilities. Requested council to consider bring back <br /> the skate park analysis. Curious on the amount of funding <br /> ($500,000) identified for security cameras. <br /> • Cynthia Kurtz (Interim City Manager) indicated there is no rush <br /> to decide, we can bring back the list of projects for <br /> consideration. <br /> • Councilman Solorio indicated it was a good job identifying <br /> projects city wide. Asked for the total amount needed for <br /> deferred maintenance. Asked staff to bring back the non- <br /> permanent skate park analysis for downtown and the Plaza of <br /> the Flags. <br /> • Cynthia Kurtz indicated we need to develop a Business License <br /> agreement for the development of a skate park downtown. The <br /> verbal understanding is the Chase's would construct and the <br /> City would operate and maintain. Still need to look into the <br /> feasibility of access for delivery and trash trucks. <br /> • Councilman Solorio indicated we also need to look at other <br /> sports needs requested by the community, such as Pony <br /> League and Soccer. Need to bring back list of facilities <br /> requested by other sports leagues. <br /> • Councilman Juan Villegas indicated he heard request for Skate <br /> Park at 6th and Lacy. Also if the Skate Park is placed on the <br /> Plaza of the Flags, where would you move the homeless? <br /> 3. SECURITY CAMERAS IN PARKS UPDATE <br /> o Public Comment on agenda item. <br /> • Jose Rea indicated he was pleased to see the Pacific Electric Park <br /> Improvements. Also it was great news to hear about the funding for the <br /> security lighting on the PE Bike Trail. The P.E. Bike is receiving a lot of <br /> use in addition to vandalism at McFadden and Edinger. Reported to <br /> council to attend the August 15th Annual Walk-A-Thon. <br /> Indicated Madison Neighborhood Association uses Madison <br /> Elementary School for their meetings and programs. The first year it <br /> cost $40,000 to keep the school open after school. It's great to have a <br /> full Joint Use Agreement on Madison School. The first Science <br /> Academy 5 week math program was held at the school. Sixty fourth <br /> grade students were required to calculate the measurement volume of <br /> the garden plots. <br /> The school shares the fence/garden with the park and uses the <br /> restrooms. Security cameras are needed at Madison Park for children <br /> safety. <br /> Youth, Rec. & Comm. Svs. Committee Mtg Page 3 July 24, 2017 <br />
