Food for Lane County handles upkeep of the garden, but the Churchill <br /> Community Garden User Committee wants the garden added to security. The garden is not funded by <br /> the bonds and not covered in the IGA. The City and 4J agreed to alter the IGA so that the YSP's are <br /> operated and managed by the City, but owned by 4J. This allows the City Parks rules to apply and the <br /> police may respond accordingly. However, this does not apply to the gardens. There is need to move <br /> forward on the IGA addendum. <br /> Walk -on use of artificial turf fields: Vandalism happens with walk -on use that is unsupervised. <br /> Adults use the artificial turf fields correctly and cooperate when Kidsports comes. Adults generally help <br /> keep watch on what happens on fields, too. Problems occur when youth ignore posted rules and bring <br /> bikes and skateboard onto fields or inside the fenced area. Charlie suggested a neighborhood watch <br /> group to monitor. If a few kids are caught and made examples, it would make a difference. Another <br /> suggestion was to change pedestrian gates to turn styles with rolling gates for access during games so <br /> the crowd isn't slowed down. Also, Dave suggested school equipment be stored elsewhere at season's <br /> end to eliminate its becoming an attractive nuisance. <br /> 1/28/02 <br />
