The group would like permission to hand out information about its mission and its activities. This group understands that fundraising is not allowed. I have purposely been a bit vague because I believe that it is important to look at the policy implications across the board, rather than focus on the specific group. The City Attorney advises me that any policy of this type must apply across the board to all types of groups and agencies. Randy and I have no objection to this kind of activity. The Commission should take action to recommend a policy on groups making presentations in City parks. rwwc a«a THE INDEPENDENT SERVING BURLINGAME AND HILLSBOROUGH . �—" —_— MiAbrae slate park plans rolling forward B Jennifer Hoke r tant.

McElroy said that the department has included fencing and security lighting in the plans for the park and added that the YMCA staff members will stay past closing time to ensure that the park is empty and secure. Playle noted that evening hours of operation should be considered since the YMCA and city staffs have decided to keep the park closed dur- ing school hours. Although originally planned for 8,000 square feet, the current plans proposed by the Parks and Recreation Department call for the facility to be between 10,000 and 15,000 square feet — about the size of two tennis courts. The council requested that the park's Phase I plans be -altered to include permanent restroom facili- ties. The current plan only calls for a temporary port -a -potty housed in a "rustic building." According to Mike Wride, recre- ation services manager for Millbrae, the YMCA has set aside a certain amount of money to fund the con- struction, and anything more would need to be raised. He said that the committee will finalize plans for the park and would then evaluate. the costs involved with adding the restrooms. At the meet- ing, McElroy said that preliminary cost studies for a permanent restroom facility were upwards of $100,000. According to a timeline submitted by the steering committee. the final plans and environmental report will be presented to the City Council and Planning Commission in June, and by December the YMCA will release the construction plans and specifications for the bidding process.

Stating their wish to keep the parks and playground areas as places of solitude, the commissioners voted that non-profit groups may not conduct performances for public display (other than City - sponsored activities), distribute information and pamphlets, or verbally solicit individuals in any fashion. This includes instances such as: • AYSO may not pass out flyers stating registration dates • The Mother's Club cannot approach individuals asking them to join their organization • Individuals backing candidates for public office or a certain proposition may not hand out balloons. If you have any questions regarding this policy, please let me know.
