ideas to the Board regarding dog park fencing. She discussed budget for

parks and asked the board to help come up with some criteria for fenced
dog parks. The Board asked questions regarding what has worked in the
past, what criteria should define the success of a dog park, will this be on
all dog parks, can landscaping be added,what are the existing problems at
dog parks. The board will visit a few current dog parks in the area and
Tara and Ann will bring further information and discussion to a future
Board meeting. Ann Ober included the Jordan dog park update at this
time, the several Board members voiced that they would like to see the
current size of the off leash dog area expanded east to the parking lot and
west to Montague road, and that the area needs to be fenced.
b. Liberty Park Children's Garden and Tracy Aviary Expansion-Todd Reese
presented designs and ideas for the Liberty Park Children's gardens, he

the space for the Children's gardens will be shared between Tracy Aviary,
a new proposed pump house location and the Children's gardens.

proposed Imperial Neighborhood park design and discussed upcoming
steps.
4. Discussion-Todd Reese presented the following information to the Board
members as information for them to consider and make recommendations
regarding current projects Parks and Public Lands are working on.
a. Redwood Meadows Master Plan-The board voiced concern to make the
park usable for all ages; examples include: Playground for children,
basketball for teens,bocchi ball for adults and a walking path for everyone
to enjoy, they prefer to see this strip of land used as a multi-use park.
b. Glendale Master Plan- the Board voiced concern of parking in the area and
think more parking would be ideal, they voiced concern about paying for
parking to use the park and other facilities and the community members
not having parking on their own streets due to people not wanting to pay
for parking.
c. Fairmont Tennis Court Relocation-The Board expressed several concerns;
community gardens need to still be in effect,but they need to be for the
community not closed like they currently are; there is no sidewalk in this
area for people to walk around, currently have to cross over area to get to
the boys and girls club; The board liked the idea of relocating the courts
and they want a community garden to be available somewhere near the
area.
d. Fairmont Master Plan
e. Jordan Park Baseball Diamond Relocation- the Board wanted to know
what the purpose of relocating the diamond is; Todd will get them more
information at the next meeting.
