Commission seeks staff help to carry three park-improvement recommendations to council
Summary
The commission discussed turning three prior motions — a Bee City wildflower garden at Gardner Park, replacement of ground cover at Wake Creek Dog Park, and a dog-cleanup station installation — into formal council recommendations by meeting with staff.
The Estacada Parks and Recreation Commission discussed how to convert three motions made at a prior meeting into formal recommendations to the City Council: identifying a space in Gardner Park for a Bee City wildflower garden, replacing ground cover in Wake Creek Dog Park, and installing a dog-cleanup station at Wake Creek.
A commissioner asked what the next step should be to move those motions into council consideration. A staff member advised making an appointment with Melanie (city staff) to develop a plan; Melanie and staff would most likely work with the commission to shape the proposals and then present them to the council at a future meeting.
Commissioners did not vote on the proposals at this meeting. The discussion focused on process: who would meet with staff, what would be included in a plan, and how those plans would be scheduled for council consideration. One commissioner noted the previous motions and asked how to “officially recommend” them; staff answered that a meeting with Melanie would be the practical next step.
No specific budgets, timelines, or locations beyond the parks named were adopted during the meeting; the commission identified staff engagement as the action to pursue.
