DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS:
4. AB #994-4 SPINNAKER HILL TOT-LOT REQUEST - By an unanimous vote (5-0)
the Commission did not approve further processing of a citizen request to develop
a tot-lot in Spinnaker Hill for the following reasons:
• The applicants hesitation to provide liability insurance for the facility.
• That previous Commission approval was based upon the caveat that
development and maintenance of the tot-lot would be at no cost to the
City.
• If the City were to accept liability for the tot-lot it would necessarily require
the City to assure the development of the facility to its standards at a cost
substantially beyond that which was estimated by the applicant.
Additionally, it would require the City to maintain the facility in order to
protect itself against liability exposure. This would be contrary to the
Commissions original approval of the project at no expense to the City.
14 1 EXHIBIT 1
• In light of the park development guidelines as outlined in the Parks and
Recreation Element of the General Plan relating to building larger park
areas rather than small ones, the Commission did not want to set a
precedent in having the City build and maintain this subject tot-lot.
• The Commission also questioned the long term use of such a facility
based on the phenomena of non-use of small park areas.
• Phase I of the Poinsettia Community Park which will have two (2) tot-lots
is scheduled to be completed in the next several years.
5. AB #994-5 CARRILLO RANCH ARTIFACT STORAGE REQUEST - By an
unanimous vote (5-0), the Commission approved the purchase of a re-locatable
trailer to be stored at the Public Safety and Service Center specifically to
accommodate the Carrillo Ranch Artifact collection. Approval for funding from the
Carrillo Ranch Trust Account was also unanimous.
6. AB #994-6 APPOINTMENT OF PRC REPRESENTATIVE TO THE COMMUNITY
ACTIVITIES FUNDING PANEL - Commissioner Julie Baker was appointed to act
as the Parks and Recreation Commission representative.
