As a board member,_you have made significant contributions to Lansing,played an integral role in the development of the board and its mission, and did a great.service to the people of our community. On behalf of the residents of Lansing,I want to thank you for your expertise, wisdom,professionalism and commitment. As your term of service as a board member comes to an end,.I know you will seek to continue to serve Lansing through another avenue. Again, I sincerely appreciate your spirit of service as we work together to move Lansing forward. Sincerely, Virg Bernero Mayor of Lansing "Equal Opportunity Employer" PARK BOARD MINUTES July 11, 2007 Gier Community Center MEMBERS PRESENT: Rick Kibbey, Claude Rainey, Brian Smith, Ronald Lott, Melvin McWilliams, Dusty Fancher MEMBERS ABSENT: Cynthia Ward, Pat Murray, OTHERS PRESENT: Murdock Jemerson, Director Parks and Recreation CALLED TO ORDER: 7:00 p.m. ADDITIONS/DELETIONS TO THE AGENDA: Smith asked to add the Flying Aces to the agenda. Jemerson stated he wanted to talk about the Master Plan. STATEMENTS OF CITIZENS: BOARD MINUTES June 13, 2007 Motion by Ramey to approve the board minutes as submitted, seconded by Smith. Kibbey asked about the discussion under cemeteries, he noticed Ms. Stanaway stated one of the first things to be done is to pay for one-half of the fence and the second is to develop the basin area. Lott stated the fence was part of the board's approval,but he does not recall the basin. Kibbey stated he was not aware the basin was on a list to be done. Kibbey requested this sentence be struck from the minutes. McWilliams and Lott both cominented these were her corninents and not what the board's plan is and Lott is not sure we need to change this. Kibbey asked Jemerson if the Fratcher fund comes to the Parks or if it is a free standing foundation that can do what they want. Jemerson said these funds are managed by the National City Bank and are to be spent on projects at Mt. Hope and the funds go to the City and we do the project. Jemerson stated Ms. Stanaway has been asked to sit in on the fence project and probably all of the projects, but he believes the bottom line is with the department working with the bank. The bank has a committee, and we make proposals to the committee as to funding projects. Park Board Minutes—July 11, 2007 Page 2 Motion Carried NEW BUSINESS Lansine Flying Aces Smith stated on the weekend of the 4th, an individual had gone to Elm Park to play softball and provided Smith with a copy of a flyer that is posted all over the park that indicates the Flying Aces have an exclusive lease to use the dome. Jemerson said it wasn't stated it would be just airplanes. Smith stated the individual had been there on Saturday to play softball,however they were flying all over the park. On Sunday there were fewer people with no planes flying,but a gentleman approached the individual and presented a posting that indicated exclusive use. The person from Flying Aces would not allow the others to play softball. Jemerson stated they have designated dates and times to use the park and he would look into this. Master Plan Jemerson asked if the board recalled during the marina controversy, the whole issue of the Master Plan came about in terns of the marina not being or should not have been in the Master Plan. We went back and looked at not only the marina but other items that council said should have been out of the plan, but were still in it. Jemerson stated he and the administration started talking about the Master Plan and the fact there is a new Mayor who would like to see his agenda carried forward throughout each department. We have completed a number of the items in this Master Plan and we were thinking this might be a good opportunity for a mid-year update. To make changes to the plan to reflect not only comments made during the marina controversy, but also to incorporate some of the wishes of this administration; primarily looking at the Mayor's Grand Vision which not only talks about marinas, but docking, fishing opportunities, and beautification along the river. Jemerson indicated he would be communicating with the Board as we go along with this. The Mayor is serious about amending the plan, the Lansing Boat Club,providing docking facilities. Fancher stated since the last meeting she has been watching the RiverTrail and uses it and noticed the Common Ground organizers are interested in building an amphitheater. She commented with her background, she thought it would be interesting for the Board to look at the property the Parks and City of Lansing have along the riverfront and what kind of joint effort could be done with the Planning Board. She thought Bob Johnson could come in to talk about what they are looking forward to doing and make sure what Parks is doing with their Master Plan does not work against the city's plan. She encourages going forward with looking at the Master Plan and working with the planning board. Kibbey stated he has had good luck over the years with using a master planning process as an organizing process to help citizens groups to find what they are interested in doing and he would be interested in the Master Plan process as an organizational development approach. He believes Park Board Minutes—July 11, 2007 Page 3 it strengthens us in the budget process to the extent there is a good linkage to the projects on the ground and the plans. McWilliams asked if in talking about updating the plan are we talking about updating the plan that would start in 2011 or are we talking about updating the 2005-2010 plan. Jemerson stated he is suggesting looking at not only those comments/corrections that need to be made as amendments and incorporated into the existing plan, but come April 1 we are ready to present a grant proposal to the DNR for some new development along the river. McWilliams asked if do you put something in the Master Plan and then decide whether or not it is feasible during the period or do you look at it in terns of feasibility to decide if you even want to put it in the Master Plan. He commented one of the big problems he had with the marina is they heard of all of the engineering and things that had not been done; so to suddenly have this something to be funded when it is a big plan and other issues have not been looked at. Jemerson stated there is a process to amend the Rec Plan, which is a process, dictated by the State. You need to submit any amendment to your rec plan through the same level of review you subjected your rec plan to, which means public hearings and things of that nature. Jemerson stated he would come back to this board with recommendations on amendments to the Rec Plan. We could have public hearings before the Park Board and Council. What is stated as far as a regulation is we have a public hearing, where there is a certain amount of notification and it is run as a public hearing and there is a process dictated by the DNR. McWilliams asked if the Rec Plan is different than the Master Plan. Jemerson clarified what Kibbey was referring to as a Master Plan process relates more to a master planning process for a park. The Rec Plan is to a master plan of our recreation development programming for a 5-year period and what Kibbey is referring to is a master plan for a geographic area called a park. Kibbey stated a Master Plan is made up of several little plans. Smith asked if amendments need to go before Council. Jemerson stated yes they do. OLD BUSINESS Leeper Field Kibbey stated this has been around for awhile and the reason this is on the agenda is for the purpose of a motion. Kibbey asked the wishes of the board on this issue. Lott moved the board recommends the naming of the field on the west side Richard Leeper Field. Supported by Fancher. McWilliams stated he thinks it is great that Mr. Leeper is so committed to this,but he is not sure the record in front of this measures up to our protocol and is rather thin. McWilliams stated he does not know anything other than what Mr. Leeper has said about his father, and his sense is there are other individuals on those teams and he has no way of measuring the importance of this Park Board Minutes—July 11, 2007 Page 4 father to other players on the team. He does not have a strong feeling to support this given our protocol. Kibbey advised new members that a summary of the protocol is that the board looks for someone who has made a contribution to the system and Lansing and not so much a matter of individual achievement. It is a matter if they have helped to build the league, helped build the system or bring people into the system rather than individual achievement by any particular person. Smith stated he echoed Kibbey's thoughts and in our guidelines the board have used it states "make major contributions of a' public service nature" and he will be voting no. Smith stated Mr. Leeper has not provided this and he feels if this is passed it could start anybody who ever had relatives who played in the city will want something named after a relative. The guidelines were put together for a reason and his vote will be no. Faucher asked to see the guidelines. Kibbey asked for clarification if this had been reviewed by the Memorial Review Committee. Jemerson said it was presented to them, he did not know how review it received, but it was referred to the Park Board for reconnnendation. Smith asked if the Review Committee took action on it. Jemerson stated they did not. Lott asked if the Review Committee is the final word. Jemerson stated no, the Park Board makes a recommendation to the Mayor and the Mayor passes it onto council. In this case the Park Board will also pass on their recommendation to the Review Committee who will make a recommendation to council and council will probably make the final decision. The Park Board's recommendations do hold very heavily on what council does. Kibbey indicated he was confused where this was in the Review Comnttee and that he had spoke with Mr. Hubbell and they had turned it down. Lott feels there has been effort made and this is not a key issue with him,but he understands the rest of the Board's opinions. Kibbey stated his other concern is that this field is essentially LCC's home field. Jemerson stated they are allowed to use the field a certain period of the season, but Lansing Parks also uses the field. LCC does not own the field,but it is their home field. Kibbey had expected some sort of position from LCC on this, when you look at the number of people who have been involved in this program over the years and he is not sure if this would be their choice. Jemerson clarified LCC was asked to have input on this and they did not and he had spoke with the Athletic Director who said they did not have a position on this field as far as naming and they were remaining neutral. Motion to approve re-naming of Westside Field to Leeper Field. 1 yea; 5nays HN 5 I Nc APPLICATION FOR NAMING rV AND RENAMING MEMORIALS IN THE CITY OF'L`ANSING;'MIC'HIG�AM, _ f _ f'a w - ..._.. . . _ H17.0 en Varl- 5 U.

They are ready to have the trailer removed as it is vacant. Jemerson stated he had to remind the Commodore that the trailer is in the LBC's name and he could not just take it, so the LBC are looking at the options to remove it. The issue the LBC has is security and before they get rid of the trailer, they need to have a plan in place to put a guard shed or something there to protect the boats. Jemerson said in the thoughts of a marina there was a plan to have a building with contracted security. The LBC still have yet to sign the lease, they want a five year and the city is saying a one year with yearly extensions. The reason for a one year is because they need to get things together regarding the operations of the LBC. The City is not looking at trying to get rid of the LBC, but are interested in a boat club that would be open and available to the public and the practices and operations reflect a publicly ran facility. Kibbey asked how long the LBC has to sign the lease. Jemerson said the committee wanted four weeks. Fancher asked about liability with them not having a lease and being city property. They have insurance, but the city would be sued also. 0' of July Jemerson reported this year was a wonderful 4th of July parade and provided pictures. LPD estimated attendance at 5,000. Lott said the Lansing Exchange Club ran out of flags and they had 1,500 to hand out to kids. Jemerson reported he asked staff to participate with a float; each community center, Turner Dodge, Fenner, Sports and Special Recreation; staff were upset at first,but came through with some great floats. Park Board Minutes—July 11, 2007 Page 6 Lott stated he knows it is a problem in the summer, but a parade needs bands. Fancher said at the Mason parade they had about 15 members of the Mason High School Band on a trailer playing, which she thought was a good alternative. Sycamore Driving Range Jemerson reported it opened on July 6 and Kris Nicholoff was there and provided $4,000 in scholarships ($2,000 for the driving range and $2,000 for two camps). The driving range is open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., buckets of balls cost $5 small, $7 medium and $9 large bucket. There will be two camps that MSU will sponsor to teach golf,because the Lansing First Tee volunteer group is still going through the process of getting together, raising enough money to hire an instructor and in their absence MSU has volunteered to put together the two camps. Camps will run July 30 tlu•ough August 2, Monday through Thursday and August 6 through August 9. The fee is $50 for Lansing resident youth ages 7 to 17 and the non-resident fee is $100. If residents are unable to pay the $50, they may apply for the department's scholarship and may a small co-payinent thanks to Mr. Nicholoff and the Lansing Youth and Recreation Fund. Web Site Jemerson reported the Department is on the verge of opening a new web site on the City web site. He was working with Don Ballard yesterday and today, inputting the golf information and capital improvement program, which are the last two pieces for the web site. Rivertrail South Jemerson reported he just received today in the mail from MDOT the bid proposal package that MDOT will be letting out in September, with bids back in October and construction will begin in late fall. During the winter we will be clearing trees and brush for the trail. Kibbey asked if anything was learned fiom Sycamore about starting ground clearing in the fall so it will flood in the fall, winter and early spring. Jemerson stated a lot was learned from Sycamore and the DEQ is on board and involved and will know everything we do, as well as our own public service department. Kibbey asked to be kept informed,because the last time they were technically in compliance, but he watched the water rise over the sediment fence. Kibbey asked if this section would go fi-orn Mt. Hope to Scott Woods. Jemerson clarified it would go from Potter-Park through Scott Woods to Maguire Park at Jolly and Aurelius Roads. Delhi is working on a trail system to connect with Lansing's. Hunter Pool Jemerson reported we do have a contractor who will be doing the design. This is a company that has a lot of experience and is the company that put in the spray pad at Hawk Island. Kibbey Park Board Meeting—July 11, 2007 Page 7 asked when this would be done. Jeimerson stated we have the designer, but the construction dollars are still tied up in the legislature; we are watching Bill 4828. CORRESPONDENCE Kibbey asked if there is going to be further discussion on changes to City golf courses, would it be possible to meet with someone fiom the Mayor's office ahead of time to develop some guidelines for reviewing proposals so that the board agrees on what to use for criteria. Jemerson recommended the board request of the Mayor that he briefs the Park Board on any future changes or recommendations that he may have for golf. McWilliams thought this had been asked to be done at a previous meeting. Kibbey stated he had attended 2 evenings of Sunsets with Shakespeare and the first night there were 82 in attendance and the second night there were 75. He received a letter thanking us for "the continued, incredible support of the Parks Department." Kibbey reviewed the information of activities. Smith asked if there was time for election of officers. The board agreed to elect officers at the August meeting.
