4. OLD BUSINESS
a. Youth League Residency Numbers Verification — Glomstad reported the remaining
organization to present their residency numbers was Burlingame Soccer Club (BSC). They reported 48
BSC teams (not including Rec+) for the Spring 2013 season with 309 residents in their organization.
Since the last Commission meeting, staff met with user groups and discussed concerns about field
density, subleasing of fields and fines for goals. Suggestions from the meeting included encouraging
reporting to City staff amongst user groups to monitor the fields and instituting an annual deposit or
fine for damage to fields. Groups also expressed having staff become more of a decision maker when
there are issues that cannot be resolved at group meetings.
b. Parks & Recreation Foundation — Next Steps — Glomstad reported the foundation is
waiting for the final documents from the State to proceed. Once that has been received, a letter will go
to Council with the goal of the foundation and the search will begin for board members with certain skill
sets that are beneficial to the foundation.
5. NEW BUSINESS
a. Recreation Department Refund Policy — Glomstad stated the department is looking at
revising the refund policy. She encouraged any thoughts and ideas the commission members may have
about revising the current policy.
b. Community Garden Proposed Location — Glomstad referred to two plans noting the
location of the proposed garden site at Bayside Park behind and between the storage shed and the
batting cage. There will be approximately 22 plots with handicap accessibility.
