Mateo County Health Officer on March 16, 2020, the statewide Shelter -in -Place Order issued by the
Governor in Executive Order N-33-20 on March 19, 2020, and the CDC's social distancing guidelines

Parks & Recreation Commission
DRAFT Minutes January 16, 2020
J-Lot playground is located within the Burlingame Avenue Downtown Business District. Due to
the playground's unique location, staff invited the Downtown Business Improvement District
(DBID) President Jenny Keheler to serve as the community representative on the J-Lot
Playground Committee with Commissioner Milne and City Staff.
Included in the discussion was the proposal to change the park name to Primrose Playground,
which not only represents the street name but is reflected in the flower designs included in the
revised playground design. The name change would require approval from the City Council.
Motion by Lee (seconded by Lewis): Commission moved to approve the design and
proposed name change for J-Lot playground. MOTION PASSED 6-0-1. (Ardito arrived at
7:45).
b. Update to the Parks & Recreation Department Mission Statement
Glomstad noted that during the review process of the Parks Master Plan document,
Commissioners noticed that the current Mission Statement was grammatically incorrect since the
recreational environments, enriching opportunities, and empowering people is not parallel in
structure.
Motion by Milne (seconded by Ardito): Commission moved to approve the mission
statement to remain as is in the power point presentation of the Parks Master Plan
document with a correction to the grammar to be done at a future time. MOTION
PASSED 7-0.
c. Update on the Relocation Plan for the New Community Center Construction
Glomstad reviewed the general relocation plan as outlined in the staff report. The portable
facilities next to the Lions Hall will house administrative staff and serve as meeting and
classroom space. Alternative locations such as the Library and Mercy High School will also be
utilized for various programs and meetings. The transition of programming will occur in early
April and the target date of demolition of the Recreation Center in May. One supervisor and four
coordinators will be located at the Public Works Corporation Yard, and four additional
administrative staff will be located at the Depot.
d. Presentation by the City Attorney
City Attorney Kane presented background on the Ralph M. Brown Act that governs public
meetings and legislative bodies. She provided examples of inadvertent serial meetings that can
put Commissioners in a compromising position. Responses and actions were also discussed to
address challenging situations that Commissioners may encounter to remain transparent and in
compliance with the governing Brown Act Rules.
