The audience was welcomed to the meeting by Chairman Carlson, and it was pointed out this joint meeting. of the Committee and Commissions was arranged to attempt to give all members an understanding of the basic problems facing these Commissions and Committee as a result of the proposed Business Area expansion and park relocation. Mr. Dick Graham, Chairman of the Citizens' Action Committee, gave a brief back ground review of the Action Committee. It was formed in May, 1963, to work out some of the action for City improvement. The Committee felt one o f the major problems was than of ingress and egress to the downtown business area. Several recommendations were made to City Council, and changes have been made which the Committee feels have improved the situation. A Traffic Consultant, Small-Cooley and Associates, was retained to concentrate on the downtown traffic pattern. Plans have been stymied due to the possible change in the shopping center location planned by Gerri Von Frellick. The Action Committee has ~pproved the change of location, and has actively worked for this possibility. The entire proposal is now contingent on the sale of City Park, which must have approval o f the voters. Mr. Graham stated that speakers from the Action Committee wou~ be available for any Clubs or other organizations wh o wished to have further information on the proposal. Phamplets are available at the Chamber of Commerce and Englewood Herald. Mr. Jorgenson of the Recreation Commission reviewed the revised Park Plan which has been prepared by the Park and Recreation Department and Commission. This revised Plan sets forth how the $1,000,000 to be realized for Park development would be used if the City Park is sold. The City presently has 23.75 acres o f developed park land. The City park account for 23 acres. Under the revised Plan , 22-1/2 acres of additional land would be purchased. Total developed land under the revised Plan would be 50.8 acres. The City would have 2 swimming pools; 8 ball fields of which 2 would be lighted; 30 acres of picnic area; and all tennis courts at the High School (12) would be lighted. A 5-year Improvement Program has also been presented by the Commission, which will further implement the Park and Recreation Plan. Discussion ensued. It was pointed out that according to the Plan, replacements of facilities wou ld be made prior to the present facilities being destroyed, so that at no time, would the citizens be without the park development they now have. Discussion followed; Mr. Carlson suggested the money realized from the sale of City Park be used to replace only the facilities that we now have, and use the remaining money to purchase additional land for development later. Mr. Jameson remarked that the concensus of the Sinclair Junior High PTO was that two indoor-outdoor pools were needed; there was no question raised on the amount of land to ·be purchased. Mr. Bailey of the Englewood Jaycees reported that a survey they had taken indicated the citizens' felt additional swimming pools were of prime importance, and other recreational facilities followed. Further discussion ensued on all phases of the proposed Business Area extension and Park relocation program. Mr. Carlson thanked the members for their attendance and interest in this project. Touchton moved: Starkloff seconded: The Commission consider for recommendation or rejection the revised Park Plan submitted by the Park and Recreation Commission dated January 4, 1964. The motion carried unanimously . Mr. Starkloff asked how much of the land at proposed park sites "D" and "L" were under option? Mr. Fullerton stated he believed the major portions o f these sites were under option. Discussion f ollowed; Mrs. Romans reminded the · members they had approved the Master Park Plan for referral to the Park Commission; she now felt it would be a .matter of incorporating the revised program into the Master Park Plan. Further discussion ensued; Mr. Rice suggested the Planning Director confer with Mr. Dial and Mr. Esch to determine whether a decision on thePark Plan can be made without pre- empting the election on the sale of City Park. Rice moved: Touchton seconded: The decision on the Master Park Plan be tabled. AYE: NAY: Touchton, Rice, Carlson Starkloff, Parkinson, Fullerton The motion did not carry.
