July 7, 2010
ETC Survey The City received the results from its 2010 ETC Citizen Survey. Hauck provided a packet to
the Park Board that contained slides from the August 3 BOA meeting about the overall
results of the City and the Parks and Recreation section slides.
The Board commented that outdoor athletic fields and youth athletics were priorities for
the residents. Frakes and Mayor Rose commented we would need regional initiatives to
support fields in Riverside. Hauck added that the Girls on the Run program would provide
an additional youth athletic program in the City. Rule asked if most cities did their own
leagues or contracted out. Hauck explained it varied by City — some run their own leagues,
while others contract that out.
Another priority is senior programming. Hauck explained the Senior Programs at the
Community Center are very popular, but 95% of the participants are from outside of
Riverside. The mayor said she knew of seniors in town who didn't attend these programs
because it would mean admitting they fell into that category. Carlson suggested adding
more educational classes. Dwyer suggested not specifying the classes were for "seniors"
but calling them "Master's" classes.
Hauck said the Recreation Division staff would develop a list of new programs and ideas
from the identified priorities and present that at a future meeting.
Renner Brenner Park Hauck explained that during the FY 2010 -2011 budget process, the Board of Aldermen
approved $100,000 for improvements to Renner Brenner Park in the Capital Improvement
Plan. During discussions, the Park Board identified they would like to spend this money on a
new shelter house and putting the finishing touches on the park.

The Park Board decided to purchase trash cans, light fixtures and picnic tables that are
consistent with those at the Welcome Plaza.
They would like the Gazebo to be removed and replaced with a small shelter house and
table. Keep the grill near that area. Need to make sure excavating has been done in that
area.
The Park Board reviewed options of different types of shelter houses. They would like it to
remain consistent with EH Young Park.
Mayor Rose and Rule thought that the picnic table by the skate park was specifically
designed to be a skate prop. Look at maybe adding another table in that area that can be
bolted down.
Other Discussion Mayor Rose asked when the diving board at the pool would be fixed. Hauck said it would
not be reinstalled until next season because of the amount of time it takes to get a new one
or the old one repaired.
Rule said that Platte County has started to do studies on how to utilize the new park tax
dollars. There are opportunities for Riverside residents to get involved on communities.
She asked the Board to let her know if they know of anyone who is interested.
Adjournment — 7:31 p.m. Rule made a motion to adjourn and Dwyer seconded. All present voted in favor. The next
meeting will be held July 7, 2010.
