rotate the responsibility monthly. Melissa asked Tim to have a laptop computer
available at the PB meetings, with a PB Meeting Minutes Template, so the meeting
minutes can be completed by the conclusion of the meeting.
Please reference the attached 2013 -2015 Parks Board Sub- Committee
assignments document.

an update on the effort that is currently underway to survey the 209 identified WUP
residents who live within a one block radius of WUP parks.
All "Park Ambassadors" reported that the parks they are responsible for all
appeared to be in good order.
V. Staff & City Council Updates:
Councilman Dick Yehle presented the final draft of 1) a Resolution regarding the
Naming Rights Policy and 2) the Tier I and Tier II Policy Statement. He thanked
the board for taking time to review the documents and providing their comments.
He stated that the development of a Naming Rights Policy would be beneficial to
the fundraising efforts of the Friends of West University Place Parks, any future
park and facility acquisition and development efforts and in generating revenue for
offsetting the capital and operational expenses associated with the Parks and
Recreation Department efforts. He stated that the current goal is to have a final
policy document ready for presentation to the full City Council for their review and
approval by early 2014.
Councilman Yehle also updated the board on Councils vote in regard to the Green -
Waste Fee and the Senior Fees for the WUP Recreation Center.
Tim provided a brief update in regard to the Park Master Planning Project. The
citizen survey has been finalized and will be launched in mid - January of 2014.
Tim provided an update regarding the 2014 Fee Schedule — Schedule attached.
