SUBJECT:
Report To The City Council Of The City Of Emeryville Of Recommendation Made By The Parks And Recreation Committee For Council Consideration Recommendation
Staff recommends that City Council receive this report from the Parks and Recreation Committee and provide direction to staff on action or further committee consideration of specific items as desired. Potential direction could include referral to a planned or ongoing planning process such as the Capital Improvement Program; referral to another committee such as the Transportation Committee for further review; or acceptance and filing for future Council consideration.
Background
The Parks and Recreation Committee consists of seven members of the Emeryville community; it meets monthly to provide input and recommendations related to the City’s recreation programs, cultural events, and activities; public use of parks; development of new parks and enhancements to existing parks and recreation facilities, as outlined in the Park and Recreation Strategic Plan.
Discussion
This report on Parks and Recreation Committee recommendations covers motions made at the December 2021 meeting.
On December 15, 2021, the Committee recommended that the City Council consider referring a discussion of speed calming measures around city parks to the Transportation Committee. Because it was not within their purview, the Committee did not discuss the matter in detail, but provided some examples which included reducing speed from 25 mph to 15 mph, or adding speed bumps.
Staff is requesting Council direction with respect to the recommendations from the Parks and Recreation Committee as set forth above.
Fiscal Impact
There are unidentified capital and maintenance costs, as well as staff resource impacts, associated with the actions recommended by the Parks and Recreation Committee. There is no fiscal impact from reporting the actions to Council.
Staff Communication with the Public
This reporting process has been discussed several times at Parks and Recreation Committee meetings.
Conclusion
This is the second of a regular series of similar reports to Council from the Parks and Recreation Committee. Staff is requesting Council direction with respect to the recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Committee set forth in the Discussion section above.
