Parks & Rec. Commission Meets Thursday
FULL AGENDA THURSDAY EVENING
The Costa Mesa Parks and Recreation Commission, under the leadership of new Chairman Brett Eckles, meets again on Thursday, March 24, 2016 beginning at 6:00 in City Council Chambers and will tackle what looks like a full agenda, HERE.
FAIRVIEW ENVIRONMENTAL WORKSHOP
Right off the top Interim Recreation Manager Justin Martin (replacing the departed Travis Karlen, who decamped to an opportunity with the City of Irvine) will present a recommendation for a new instructional class proposal, HERE. This is a four-week instructional class held at Fairview Park and focuses on the aspects of nature and human interrelationships. It will be offered and facilitated by the Institute for Conservation, Research and Education (ICRE). According to the proposal, that organization will cover all costs associated with this four consecutive Saturday morning programs, estimated at $3910.00. The program will be available for 10-25 participants, with no cost to them. I can't let this pass without observing that there is currently a signature-gathering exercise being conducted by residents hoping to qualify an initiative to protect Fairview Park from future development.
OUTDOOR MEETING SPACE
Next up, HERE, is the consideration of the plant palette for the proposed City Hall Outdoor Meeting Space that has been approved as part of the re-purposing of the old Print Shop on the first floor of City Hall, behind the City Council Chambers. This area is presently a walkway behind City Hall. The plan is to include the area as an extension of the new conference/meeting room(s) that will fill the Print Shop space.
