CONFIRHATION OF NIiu'UTES

That the minute " of the meeting of the Parks & Recreation
Committee held on November 19th'986 » be taken as read and

adopted.

Item No.

1

Aggie Park Field

Janna went over the rationale as to why we
should not do the upgrading to th's field
this year. Basically, due to the fact that
the sports groups hac Cedar and McLean upgraded last year, plus disturbances to their
schedule, it was felt that
snould be
left until 1988. In 1988 itAggie
would have to
be closed for the ball season and the fall

soccer season.

Recommendation:

That the upgrading of Aggie Field not be
done in 1987 but left until 1988.
CARRIED

Item No.

2

Hockey Schools

hockey schools will be offered in the
this year, HcHeekan and North
Western. North Western is a new school to
the area and we have received many requests
to bring in another school. The ice will
be going in at the sae,e time as last year.
Two

PoCo arenas

Recommendation:

That the

report be received

Item No. 3

Heaters Arena
The attached report was reviewed by
Committee. Once again money in the amount
of $ 12,000 has been put in the provisional
budget for the purchase of heaters in the
seating area of the arenas. Ninor Hockey
has offered to contribute $ 5,000 to the
purchase and installation of the heaters.
We have had an estimate of $ 8,400 to purchase
heaters and an additional $ 2,000 for hook-up
and installation. The heaters would be
located over the two inside sets of bleachers
in both arenas. As Council is aware, this
particular budget item has been included
for the past several years. Most lower
mainland arenas have inst lied heaters in
their seating areas," which does make it
more comfortable for viewing the games.
Committee feels that with the financial
contribution from Ninor Hockey and the
City's contribution, this project is most
worthwhile. With the installation of the
heaters it will certainly enhance the use
of the facility.
—

Recommendation

That the heaters be installed immediately
at a cost not to exceed $ 12,000.
CARRIED

Item No.

Waterpark

Cyril Barnabe
were in attendance for tne proposed Kinsmen
waterpark for 1988. It was generally agreed
that either Sun Valley Park or Robert Hope
Park would be suitable for the waterpark.
Ken NcCargar, Rick Hall and

within the Lower Nainland that had waterparks installed. The Kinsmen indicated
that they would go back and further study
the issue and come back to us with another

Recommendation:

That Sun Valley Park or Robert Hope Park

be the site for the Kinsmen waterpark for
1988 and that, at the appropriate time, a
report be taken to Council.
CARRIED

Item No.

5

Marian Kroeker Park

Janna Taylor suggested that there would
be a need to hire a landscape architect
to do a design for this park. Committee
felt that this was premature at this time;
however, there is a need to have a wooden
sign made (as in the other parks) and also
a fence needs to be installed between the
park and the private property.
Recommendation:

That a landscape architect not be

hired at this time.
That Janna Taylor discuss with Mr. Kirk
the installation of a fence.

Citadel Heights Entrance Sign
The entrance sign to the subdivision was
presented to Committee.
Recommendation:

That the Parks & Recreation Department be
responsible for the maintenance of the
entrance structure and the area around the

entrance sign to Citadel Heights
Background N Comments
The Committee has reviewed

entrance
structure which is proposed the
for Citadel
Heights. There were a few changes that
have been requestedi i.e. that the pillars
be slanted sc that people
innot
of them and that the cee " xtendsitouton totopthe
grass area by ten inches x ease of mowing
and also that the cement on the pillars be
a contrast to the cement on the ground.
The recommendation is in keeping with
previous entranr es to various residential
developments throughout the city.

Dear Mr. Kil'k:
I am somewhat concerned about a recent article appearing in
the November 19th edition of the 'Tri -City News 'egarding the
condition of the playfield at Viscount Alexander Elementary
School.

years ago a joint ag cement was entered into with the
City of Port Coquitl am, whereby the City would take care of
grass playfield areas at Viscount as well as other sites, on
the basis that we would pay the City the average cost per acre
that the Board sets uut in its annual maintenance budget. It
is my understanding that this arrangement has worked
satisfactorily for both parties and I have never received a
complaint as to the funding levels, which may have been
somewhat restricted in the last few years due to the restraint
or ogram that we have been faced wi th .
Many

We are certainly happy with tne arrangement, as we believe the
majority of our fields receive very high and intensive use by
the general public during the spring, summer, and fall
seasons.
Because of this, we feel there is joint
responsibility for the care of the fields.

In fact, the whole matter of joint maintenance and development

playfields

warrants a meeting between ourselves, as
to discuss ar eas where potential,ioint
development can be undertaken for the benefit of the public at
of

admi ni strator s,

large.

An,
JAN 2 I lil87

For'xample, with the development of Citadel Heights, the
demand for playfields in that portion of the City will become
great. We should upgrade the field at Hazel Trembath and
possibly even consider a playfield at the elementary school

site in the development.

Certainly my staff and I would be pleased to meet with you to
discuss areas of cooperation .
Yours truly,
