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 commented these were her comments 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 proj ect. 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 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 terms 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 ran 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 planiung process for a park. The Rec Plan is to a master plan of our recreation development prograrnming 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 5 Motion defeated UPDATES Air Conditioning at Gier Fanclner indicated it was 84 degrees in the meeting room. Jemerson said the situation has not changed since the last update. Meyer Plumbing is in the process of securing the equipment and once it is here, which may be fall, it will be installed. Ramey asked if the contract has been signed. Jemerson said it is his understanding that it has been signed, and we can riot enter into any purchasing agreements,which this company has ordered the equipment, unless everything has been ok'd and the contract is signed. Jemerson spoke with Marty Riel via cell phone and confn7ned the A/C unit will be delivered in August and should be running by mid-September. Lansing Boat Club Jemerson reported there was a meeting which had two new people, the Commmodore and Pete. They are in the process of re-writing their by-laws and membership forms. 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 run 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. 4t11 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 Meeting—July 11, 2007 Page 7 asked when this would be done. Jemerson 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 from 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 infonnation of activities. Smith asked if there was time for election of officers. The board agreed to elect officers at the August meeting. Meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m. Respectfully Submitted Kellie Brown, Interim Park Board Secretary Approved August 8, 2007 We the undersigned do hereby request and support the naming/re-naming of: Z cc e ��c�nc� Lf)oL— to an 0-11 '� �l At�,,c,y-J SIGNATURE PRINTED NAME ADDRESS PHONE DATE NUMBER ao Ir iO GAD . e fin. 22Pq /Ultoo Gry-7o6� 2 /g' b L�>Lc V �O�(D (3-s" ),, S562. 00 15 w.

It's really sad. It's a sad affair when all of the things that happened to Malcolm X and his family-- just do nothing, say nothing, and everything will be okay. Malcolm X's father built a house and the house was burned down by the good old boys. Malcolm X's father was murdered here in Lansing by the good old boys. His mother was sent to a hell-house for women, and his family torn apart. All this happened here in Lansing. Yet I have had a chance to read many books on Malcolm X and have never read any harsh things he said about Lansing. It's past time that we, meaning the people of Lansing, give this man the respect he deserves. Looking at the streets of Lansing, I have looked at Lansing street names going all the way back to the 1860s. I found streets that were named after many people, from all walks of life. But I also found streets named after the man's wife, and streets named after their kids. So there are lots of streets in Lansing. We only want one, in fact only a piece of one street-- Willow Street. (short history) The man who gave Willow Street its name did not even live on Willow Street, nor was it the name of a person who had done great things for Lansing. Willow Street starts one block east of N. Washington, and as you know it goes on and on, but after the name change, from Sunset west, it would still be Willow Street. So from one block east of N. Washington, to Sunset, it would be Malcolm X Street. JU 22 APPLICATION FOR NAMING r, + AND RENAMING MEMORIALS 4��1i" .
