RIVERSIDE PARK BOARD MEETING MINUTES July l, 2009 6:00 p.m. The Riverside Park Board held their regularly scheduled meeting at Riverside City Hall, 2950 NW Vivion Road, Riverside Missouri 64150, on Wednesday, July l, 2009. Those in attendance were: Julie Rule, Deborah Leader, Norma Parrot, Terri Dwyer, Alderman Mike Fuller, Mayor Kathy Rose, Mike Duffy, Director of Community Development, and Meredith Hauck, Director of Community Relations. Approval of Terri Dwyer made a motion to approve the minutes of June 3, 2009. minutes from June 3, 2009 Julie Rule seconded and the motion passes. Platte County Brian Nowotny, director of Platte County Parks and Recreation department, made a Parks Master presentation to the Park Board about the Platte County Parks Master Plan, which was recently Plan approved and adopted. The County last adopted a parks master plan in 2000, when the parks and recreation sales tax was also implemented. The master plan was updated this year and voters will have the opportunity to reapprove the parks and recreation sales tax, which sunsets in 2010, on August 4. Nowotny said the highest priority for the half cent sales tax is maintenance of the projects the department has completed over the past ten years. Those projects include the addition of 15 miles of trails, 5 parks, and 2 community centers. Riverside has benefited from the sales tax and partnerships with the Platte County Parks Department on projects such as the Missouri Riverfront Trail. Riverside has also received $55,000 in outreach grants from the department. Future projects in close proximity to Riverside are expanding the Missouri Riverfront Trail so that it connects with the great trail system in the area, including Parkville, and creating a plan for the piece of land owned by the county at 52nd and Northwood. Nowotny indicated this would be a good opportunity for a partnership with the City and invited the Park Board to be part of the process as a vision for the site was developed. Endowments Norma Parrot asked if the City had considered endowments for park maintenance in the future since the Park Board budget reset yearly. Mike Duffy, Director of Community Development, indicated the City has looked into endowments for long term maintenance for parks infrastructure. North Kansas City has a similar program. Duffy said the City would take a closer look at this issue in the future as more parks infrastructure projects, like the fountains and waterfall in the Briarcliff project, are completed. Public Works Mike Duffy updated the Park Board on the progress of Valerie McCaw, the consultant hired by Consultant the City to conduct an analysis on the Public Works Department. Members of the Update management team had reviewed a draft copy of Valerie's report and provided feedback. Duffy said the goal of the report was to get everyone on the same page regarding the department so staff and the Board of Aldermen were operating under the same set of expectations for Public Works. Duffy expects the final report to be presented to the Board of Aldermen on July 21. It will be also be shared with the Park Board once its complete. Renner Mike Duffy gave the Park Board an update on Renner Brenner Park. On July 7, an ordinance Brenner Park will be presented to the Board of Aldermen to enter into a contract with SCI Engineering to Update provide archeological services to the City. SCI will excavate the area where the new playground is expected to be installed and provide a report to the City on their findings. Although Renner Brenner Park is located on site that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the City is not legally prohibited from making any changes to the park. After reviewing SCI's findings, if the Board of Aldermen decides to move forward with the playground project, it will be able be installed before Vivion Road re-opens on August 14. The parking lot will also be replaced as part of the road project. General Terri Dwyer asked if the Public Works Department could drop the water level of the pool Discussion periodically and add cool water. She said the water temperature is very warm. Meredith Hauck said she would follow up on this issue with the Public Works Department.
