Parks board sets photo deadline, forms subcommittee and confirms chair and vice chair
Summary
The Parks & Rec Advisory Board agreed to collect and triage historic photos and names for the new Lakefront Park exhibits (submission deadline set for the 20th), formed a subcommittee to prioritize images, and confirmed Tyler as chair and Amy as vice chair by voice vote.
The Parks & Recreation Advisory Board agreed to accelerate community input for the Lake Forest Park Lakefront Improvement Project’s interpretive exhibits by collecting candidate photos and names and convening a small subcommittee to triage submissions.
Corey (staff) and Tyler (chair) outlined a process for members to self-edit and submit their top images; board members agreed on a photo-submission timeline and a working subcommittee to meet ahead of the May 7 full-board review. "So photos are in by the thirteenth… the twentieth will be the deadline for pictures to be," Tyler summarized; the group settled on the twentieth (date of the month) as the submission cutoff and discussed a follow-up meeting window.
Members discussed outreach ideas — a community photo contest, school involvement, and partnering with the Shoreline Historical Museum — to surface images and stories for the historical-viewpoint exhibits. Robbie (Shoreline Historical Museum) offered museum resources and asked that exhibit URLs and QR codes link back to the museum’s archives to help visitors find additional material.
The board also addressed several housekeeping items: Linda reported volunteer work and restoration progress at the park; members flagged a safety check for a recently installed art piece with pointed elements and asked Public Works/staff to inspect; and the board confirmed its leadership structure. Tyler was nominated and approved as chair; Amy was confirmed as vice chair by voice vote at the meeting. The transcript records general assent to the nominations but does not contain a formal roll-call tally.
Next steps: staff will circulate the requested photo-submission instructions and cataloging fields (photo credit, date, suggested caption), staff will coordinate the subcommittee meeting, and Public Works will check the art installation for potential hazards.
