September 17, 2024Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes - Final (8) STAFF COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Daniel Smith explains the plans for the new park going in at the assisted living facility on the corner of Bald Egale and San Marco Rd. Mr. Smith goes over the design plans for the new park. Mr. Smith explains how the process of naming the new park will work. Explains the public will be able to give input by ways of a resident survey sent to residents for suggestions. Mr. Smith explains the city council will have the ultimate say in what the name is but the committee will give a recommendation to the city council for a proposed name of the park. Vice Chair Siegel mentions that upkeep and maintenance will be provided by the developer for the next 30 years. Member Hogan asks if there is a walkway under the trees in the proposed plans for the park. Mr. Smith explains the walking path runs around the park under the trees and the area in the middle will be used for potential exercise classes. Mr. Smith explains the assistant city manager will be sending out a news alert to let residents know the naming survey will be sent out. ID 24-3842 Update on Mackle Park Tree Project Mr. Smith describes the new proposed plan for planting trees at Mackle Park. The total number of trees being planted is at 51 trees. Explains the donor has decided to go with less trees and slightly bigger trees. Trees are now alternated on both sides of the walking path around the lake at Mackle Park. He states the donor would like to move forward with this as quickly as possible. Mr. Rocky Kale has comments on the tree project at Mackle Park. He believes that the trees will wash into the lake when planted between the path and the water. Mr. Kale states the shade trees will cause a lot of wind blockage that will mess with the boats at the model sailing club. Mr. Daniel Smith states that the shade trees will bring a lot of needed shade to the park as this was a big concern brought up with the master park plan survey of residents on the island.
