Rodgers and Board Member Dan Chesnut seconded the motion. The Board approved the motion 4-0.
2. Consider, and act upon, adopting a vision and mission statement for the Parks and Recreation
Department.
Board Discussion:
Recreation Superintendent Robert Diaz presented this item to the Board. Mr. Diaz summarized a cost
recovery and subsidy allocation philosophy that would be reflected in the Parks and Recreation Departments
Mission and Vision. Board Chair Anne Hiney expressed her preference to table the item until all Board
Members could be present for action. Board Member Gary Robas suggested adding physical health into the
proposed mission statement. Staff will return with additional examples and variations of mission and vision
statements at the March meeting.

A motion to table this item was made by Board Member Dan Chesnut. Board Member Eddie Rodgers
seconded the motion which was followed by a unanimous vote of 4-0.
3. Consider, and act upon, a recommendation for the Recreation Center's operating names, business hours,
facility rental fees, membership dues, daily use fees and employee membership fees.
Board Discussion:
Recreation Superintendent Robert Diaz reviewed this item with the Board. Mr. Diaz presented three options
for annual membership revenue; the first option has a fifty-five percent recovery rate and would meet the
requirement to cover all personnel expenses for the recreation center. Option two has a sixty-eight percent
recovery rate and option three has a recovery rate of approximately one hundred percent. Options two and
three exceed the expectation to cover personnel expenses and can therefore cover some general expenses
too. Board Chair Anne Hiney requested a joint meeting with Council to discuss the recovery rate. Staff is
working with the Finance Department to establish a revised budget.
Board Action:
A motion to table this item, while awaiting a joint work session with Council, was made by Board Member Dan
Chesnut. Board Member Gary Robas seconded the motion and the motion carried with a vote of 4-0.
