Re:
Remote Control Car Track, Park and Recreation Commission
Ordinance, Meridian Youth Baseball Concept for Settler's Park, and
Picnic Shelter reservation fees.
During the November and December Park and Recreation Commission meetings
the following items were reviewed and passed by the Commission to be sent
forward to Mayor and Council.
The Parks Staff is requesting four items under the consent agenda for your January
oath or 13th meeting, which are listed below.
r:0 Snake River Racing is a local club of remote control car enthusiasts who
V are looking for a more central valley location for a track for club activities
as well as region wide sanctioned races. The fIVe-acre parcel next to the
Meridian Police Department has been proposed as a possible site
because of its proximity to the freeway. The track would occupy an area
of approximately 250 feet by 175 feet and would be constructed and
maintained entirely by the club. A sketch of the track area is attached.
2. The Parks and Recreation Commission are submitting a draft of their
proposed ordinance for Council review and action. The draft has been
through several edits and has been reviewed by the city attomey, Bill
Nichols and by Doug Strong. The Commission sub-committee made the
edits that appear in red and Doug Strong made the edits in green, The
sections that are bolded are those of Bill Nichols comments, The
Commission approved the draft, as it appears with the exception that all

references to the Department shall appear as the Parks and Recreation
Department. A draft of the proposed ordinance is attached for review
and action.
3. Conceptual drawings of the proposed baseball complex by Meridian
Youth Baseball were reviewed and approved by the Parks and
Recreation Commission. This complex is proposed to be developed on
the Western portion of Meridian Settler's Park. The concept drawings
have also been reviewed by staff and are ready for review and action by
the Council. Construction drawings will be developed once Council
approval is received. Drawings are attached.
4. Lastly, proposed fees for the picnic shelters at Chateau Park and
Meridian Settler's Park are attached for Council review and action. Once
approved, the shelters will be added to the Department's shelter
reservation list and made available in the spring of 2004. The proposed
fees are consistent with the fees currently being charged for shelters of
the same or similar size that are in the Department's reservation system.
