Commission discusses advisory rosters, facilities committee and rental market analysis
Summary
Staff will circulate a roster of advisory committees and asked commissioners to ensure at least two commissioners per committee; commissioners volunteered for facilities and preschool feasibility, and staff previewed a market analysis of rental rates and gradual fee increases with recreation assistance options.
Staff presented a draft roster of advisory committees and asked commissioners to confirm assignments. The goal is to have at least two commissioners on each advisory committee to maintain continuity when members are unavailable.
Staff said they would email the spreadsheet listing advisory committees and current volunteer assignments and encouraged commissioners to reply all with preferences. Several commissioners volunteered: Justin and Mari for facilities and Marie for event coordination. "I'm gonna email what we currently have and then see via email what everybody is interested in," staff said.
Staff also previewed a market analysis of rental rates for classrooms, picnic shelters and amenities and said any fee adjustments would be gradual to avoid cliffs for residents. Staff noted a recreation assistance program offering about $500 per year to help residents participate in programs and said the city lacks a taxing district to offset program costs, which constrains staff options.
What happens next: staff will email the advisory roster and the slides referenced in the meeting; commissioners will confirm committee assignments by email and staff will return with market analysis recommendations.
