Also in attendance was K. Janna Taylor, Parks & Recreation Director and Larry J. Wheeler, Recreation Manager/Deputy Director. George Pearkes Lacrosse Box Alderman Thompson brought forth concerns from the Vice-Principal, Mr. French about the condition of the lacrosse box. The report from the Parks Superintendent was reviewed by the Committee. Recommendation: That a letter be written to Mr. French indicating what will be done at the lacrosse box. Also that the Parks Superintendent's report be enclosed with the letter. Corrid Item No. 2 George Pearkes Soccer Field — Alderman Thompson reported that Mr. French had some concerns about the condition of the soccer field. The report from the Parks Superintendent was reviewed by the Committee. It was noted that the cost to maintain one acre of active park was between $ 4,000 to $ 6,000 per year. The Schoolboard presently only pays $ 1,075 per acre, per year. This cost difference places a hardship on the Parks & Recreation Department budget. Recommendation: That a letter be sent to Mr. French outlining the cost to maintain soccer fields and to indicate that the Schooiboard does not pay the full amount to the City. Furthermore that the report, from the Parks Superintendent be enclosed with the letter. Carried Item No. 3 Tennis Nets The report from the Parks Superintendent was reviewed by the Committee.

Recommendation: That a memo be sent to the City Clerk to see if there is any way we can get an estimate on surveying this parcel of city-owned land. Carried Genstar - Parksite No. 5 The Parks 8 Recreation Committee discussed at length the question of what a community facility is. Such ideas were: a tennis court with a bubble and a waterpark. The Parks & recreation Director outlined that the Master Plan called for the centralizing of recreation facilities at either the PoCo Rec Centre or the Hyde Creek Community Centre. However, the Parks 8 Recreation Director indicated that she thought that Genstar would wish to have some kind of building on the parksite. The purpose of this discussion was to get the Committee acquainted with the issues surrounding Parksite ¹5.
