A. Proposed Changes to the Field Use Policy — Director Glomstad reviewed the process of the
formation of a group of stakeholders to meet and discuss the policy. The group was charged
with proposing a fair and equitable distribution of space, as well as maximizing the current space
available for Burlingame residents. After several meetings and much discussion, the draft before
the Commission tonight is the proposed revisions, all changes received consensus from the
stakeholders except the allocation process. The group agreed to have the dissenting group
presenting their case on the allocation issue. The group unanimously concluded the allocation
priority section would stand as is in the document being presented to commission at this meeting.
Glomstad voiced that conceptually it is a brilliant plan, practically; it may be more difficult to
implement and manage by staff. The allocation percentage is directly related to the number of
residents in the group. Supervisor Barry will be working closely with the groups to insure each
group gets the field use they need for the season they need.
Motion by Griffith (seconded by Castner Paine): Commission moved to approve the draft
copy of the Field Use Policy with a mandatory review in a year. MOTION PASSED 5-0.
D. Status of July Meeting — Commission tabled item until after Item A was discussed.
Motion by Baum (seconded by Griffith): Commission moved to cancel the regularly
scheduled July meeting and to reconvene on August 16, 2012. MOTION PASSED 5-0.
