with this and to work with the police department and their code writer so we can put it
in a final format to move to council to be passed by resolution to become a part of the
park ordinance.
Creg Steele made a motion to have Doug move this forward and take the necessary steps
he needs to take to move this to city council, Seconded by Bill Allen, motion passed
unanimously,
CONCESSION CONTRACT FOR SETTLER'S PARK
After a lengthy discussion on the options for the concession stand, Doug Strong
suggested that the commission table this item and bring it back to the commission in
January 2005 since we are now so far into the summer months, If there were any
requests for the use ofthe facilities we would have to have some kind of rental amount
on the books that has been through council for a daily rental of that facility just like we
did for the shelter rental fees and things like that.
Jim De Boer made a motion to table the concession contract for Settler's Park until the
January 2005 meeting, Creg Steele seconded the motion, motion passed unanimously,
>f-
PROPOSED REQUIRED PERMITS
Kathleen Kuebler stated that in your packets you have Short-Term Concession,
Amplified Sound, and Park Use Application, Currently the department has no permits
for this, For example, there is an event in the skate park in August and they want
Dominos to come in and sell pizza. All I can do is say, yes or no that they can come. I
don't have a permit that Dominos has to have to give me twenty-five dollars to come, A
church group wants to have an event in Tully Park and they want a DJ and to set up a
stage, I have no permit for that and I have nothing to give them and I have nothing to
give me, It's just a yes or no, case by case basis,
The only thing we have is a bounce house permit and an alcoholpermit, We have
nothing for a DJ if they want to come, Domino's Pizza wants to sell at an event or if an
event wants to occur, More and more events want to come to our parks,
Jim De Boer stated that he reviewed the items closely and has several comments and
changes that I believe need to be made,
Bill Allen questioned the fee pricing and if they were inline with Boise?
Kathleen Kuebler stated that she got them straight from Boise, Bill Allen stated that he
believes the Event Fee Permit should be increased to fifty dollars,
After a very lengthy discussion on changes to the permits in regards to language usage,
typographical errors, contradictions, etc., the commission agreed to move it forward to
City Council for approval with changes,

Jim De Boer made a motion to accept the application for Sound Permit, Short Term
Concession Permit, and the application for Event Permit as presented to the Parks and
Recreation Commission with the exception of the following: make the administrative
change to accurately reflect the turf usages in regards to the tires and vehicles on the
turf, up the application fee for Event Permit to fifty dollars, changing the administrative
error on the application for event rule number four, and to rename the Amplified Sound
Permit to the Event Amplified Sound Permit, Bill Allen seconded the motion, The
motion passed unanimously,
UPDATE ON MERIDIAN POLICE DEPARTMENT PROPRETY
Doug Strong stated that this is an item that has been brought back to you at the request
of city council for your final recommendation and approval. The council will then take it
back for action,
You have in your packet a colored layout of the racetrack. What has transpired since we
last met is that it looks like a ten thousand dollar budget item for some basic
improvements ofthe five-acre site made by our department will move forward for final
approval. It looks like we will have some limited funds to do a curb cut and to create a
temporary parking area, which you see indicated on the layout.
The red area you see on the layout is the outside dimensions of the racetrack it's not the
actual size of the track it includes the area for their stand and spectator viewing area.
After a brief discussion Jim De Boer made a motion to provide Snake River Racing with
basic agreement that they can help craft with Director Strong and move forward on this,
seconded by Creg Steele, The motion passed unanimously,
ACTION ITEMS
None
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Doug Strong stated that he provided a written report in your packet that captures some
of the activity for the month and would invite any questions in regards to the report. I
have added an addition to the report that brings you up to date with the vandalism in
the park just for your information,
Jim De Boer questioned whether or not the police were investigating the vandalism in
the park to possibly identify a trend or link someone to the damage to make him or her
legally responsible?
Doug Strong stated two nights ago two young boys ages 8 and 10 were caught
vandalizing the women's restroom and it has become a felony conviction due to the dollar
amount involved. We have also investigated purchasing surveillance cameras and have
a cost figure for that, We have verbal support from the council to do a budget
