COMMUNICATION
Jim Nantell. 1812 Easton Drive, Burlingame Re:Letter of
appreciation for Commissions work. Mr. Nantell attended the April
meeting and commended the Commission on their efficiency and
effectiveness in handling their agenda.
OLD BUSINESS
1. Roller Blade Hockey: Director Wagner presented a survey to the
Commission that showed what eight cities on the peninsula are doing in
regards to roller blade hockey. No cities have organized leagues or have
designated specific playing areas. Most cities have had requests from
residents but all are concerned with liability. It costs about $300 per
player to outfit a player with skates and equipment and is not something
that could be provided as a city sponsored sport. Mrs. Kirchner
addressed the Commission again stating that she is trying to arrange for
insurance for the 20 or so boys that are playing at Lincoln School two
days per week. The Commission approved a motion at the April meeting
that the park department should work on a proposal to remove the
basketball standards at Ray Park if Mrs. Kirchner could arrange for
insurance and if the size of the basketball court is big enough for roller
hockey for different age groups.
Director Quadri told Commission that if Mrs. Kirchner could provide
insurance, the removal of the poles could be accomplished. It is a
concern of both the Park and Recreation directors to remove the
basketball goals permanently for only a two hour per week activity may
not be in the best interest of the community. Director Wagner again
suggested that Mrs. Kirchner consider organizing a non-profit youth
league like A.Y.S.O., Pony League, etc. to establish a parents group to
provide roller hockey for children in Burlingame. The City provides
Old Business/Cont.
playing fields for organized youth sports leagues with insurance, etc. and
if requested would formally address the roller hockey need. During the
interim it is recommended that the children continue to play on school
sites where there is no ordinance against roller blades. Teams are
playing at Burlingame High School and Washington School on a regular
basis.
2. Youth Sports Non-resident Fee: This season both the Pony League
and the Burlingame Girls Softball League charged a $20.00 per non-
resident fee. This fee was charged for two reasons. One to discourage
non-residents from playing youth sports in Burlingame and playing in
their cities, and number two to donate the collected monies to provide a
field maintenance fund for the park department. Commissioner Kelly and
Director Wagner met with Mike Bader, Commissioner of Burlingame
A.Y.S.O. to discuss a similar donation from A.Y.S.O. The A.Y.S.O. league
offered to donate $1,000 to such a fund but may elect = to charge non-
residents an additional fee. The Commission requested that the
recreation department ask C.Y.S.A. for a similar donation of $20 per non-
resident player.
3. Washington Park Tennis Courts: The bumps at the tennis courts
have been removed and painted. Time and materials will be billed to the
contractor.
4. Girls Softball - Ray Park: The Burlingame Girls Softball League will
be ending their season in two weeks. The neighbors, the league, and the
recreation department met a few months ago to discuss the neighbors
request of no Sunday games. A compromise was agreed that allowed
the League to play games after 3:00 pm on Sundays only on the
southwest field. For 1995 the League will not play any Sunday games at
Ray Park. The League will be allowed Franklin field for Saturday or
Sunday games in 1995.
5. Recreation Needs Priority List Update: The Commission reviewed
and updated the priority list.
NEW BUSINESS
1. Office Addition and Remodel: The office renovation project will
begin next week at the recreation center. The contractor hopes to
complete the project in 60 working days which should bring the project
until the end of August.
2. Washington Park Playground: Commissioner Henderson requested
Director Quadri to consider a small fence around the Washington Park
playground. The Commission asked the item be placed as an agenda
item for June.

Burlingame Park & Recreation Commission

Burlingame, Ca. 94010
Dear Mr Roberts and Members of the Commission,
I enjoyed the opportunity to watch the Commission in action at your
April meeting. Although I have decided to with draw my name as a
candidate for the Director of Recreation position, as a Burlingame
resident I did want to express my appreciation for the commitment you
make as Commissioners to protect and enhance the quality of life that
we enjoy in Burlingame.
Although I have enjoyed the challenges of my work with the City of
San Mateo, the uniqueness of Burlingame, which my family and I
have enjoyed for 20 years, presented a very attractive opportunity.
That uniqueness was exemplified in the positive and supportive way in
which you went about your deliberations.
One final note is that I have worked with a lot of commissions in my
20 years of public service but I have not seen one cut through the
agenda as efficiently and effectively as you did.
On behalf of my family thanks for your continued work for the benefit
of all of us.
