fit 5. <br /> C ol <br /> LANKSTON Jeff <br /> From: RINER Andrea G <br /> Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2000 9:56 AM <br /> To: LANKSTON Jeff <br /> Cc: MEDLIN Johnny R <br /> Subject: YSP User Committee <br /> Importance: High <br /> I talked to Renee Grube, who was the LRCS Athletics representative for the Youth Sports Park project. I think she has the <br /> best understanding of the issues that relate to the YSP User Committee, so I asked for her input. Some of her concerns: <br /> • The 4J /City partnership is not new, and so there already exists a Site Use Committee to address a number of similar <br /> issues at other sites. To avoid duplication of efforts, and confusion about who does what, Renee suggested the <br /> possibility of a subcommittee of this group making up the majority of the YSP committee. She is sending me the <br /> membership list, as well as recommendations about who would ideally suit the subcommittee. <br /> • There is a concern if neighborhood interests outweigh community user interest. Keep in mind that the emphasis for <br /> this is USER, and is to address usage and scheduling concerns. Community recreation folks should be able to keep <br /> neighborhood concerns in mind, but not at the risk of underutilizing these expensive facilities. <br /> • The most relevant City staff representatives are probably Renee and John Clark, but if 4J includes administrative <br /> people, i.e., Bill, we should have someone at the same level from the City on the committee. <br /> • Renee is concerned about who will do the actual scheduling, i.e., who will folks call to reserve field time. This needs to <br /> be consistent day to day, season to season, and therefore, makes sense to be a City function. This may be <br /> something that the User Committee will address when the time comes, but she wanted to flag the issue early on. <br /> 1 <br />
