ITEM 13. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION OF INTENT TO CONVEY A VACATED PORTION OF
- I ~ THE GROVE STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY LOCATED WESTERLY ALONG THE NORTH
PROPERTY LINE OF 425 BELDON AVENUE TO PAUL AND JOAN BURNS,
OWNERS OF 425 BELDON AVENUE, IN EXCHANGE FOR BURNS CONVEYANCE
OF A 44 SQUARE FOOT PARCEL OF PRIVATE PROPERTY LOCATED AT THE
INTERSECTION OF GROVE STREET AND BELDON AVENUE TO THE CITY, AND
SE'I-rING A PUBLIC HEARING FOR MARCH 2, 2004
Comment: Upon surveying their lot for the purposes of locating a fence, Paul and Joan
Burns, owners of 425 Beldon Avenue, discovered that the paved portion of the Grove
Street right-of-way encroached approximately three (3) feet into their lot at the corner of
Grove Street and Beldon Avenue. Due to the existence of a large, mature oak tree on
the north side of the Grove Street right-of-way at this location, the option of removing the
encroaching pavement and extending the pavement to the north was foreclosed.
However, in exploring options to remedy the encroachment, a survey revealed that
landscape improvements along the northwest corner of 425 Beldon encroached into the
Grove Street right-of-way. Therefore, in an effort to resolve the matter and legitimize
each encroachment, the Public Works Department recommends that the City vacate and
convey a 184 square foot parcel of the Grove Street right-of-way extending westerly
along the existing north lot line of 425 Beldon to the Burns, in exchange for the Burns
conveying to the City a 44 square foot parcel of private property located at the
intersection of Grove Street and Beldon Avenue. On February 3, 2004, the City Council
will hold a public hearing and consider an ordinance vacating a portion of the Grove
Street right-of-way located westerly along the north property line of 425 Beldon Avenue.
This Resolution declares the City's intent to convey the vacated portion of the Grove
Street right-of-way to Paul and Joan Burns, sets a public hearing on said disposition for
March 2, 2004, and directs the City Clerk to publish a public notice of said hearing.
ITEM 14. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A REVISED SCHEDULE OF FEES
~ 19 AND CHARGES FOR PARKS AND RECREATION SERVICES AND PROGRAMS
COMMENT: The Parks and Recreation Commission and staff review fees and charges
annually, and increases are considered in order to help support the Recreation Division's
budget. A three-year plan has been established, with FY05 fee changes being
recommended for adoption at this time, and FY2006 and 2007 fee changes tentatively
identified. Some of the FY05 changes will actually be implemented in FY04 because the
summer season begins in FY04, but continues into FY05. The Parks and Recreation
Commission reviewed and adopted the proposed changes at their meeting of December
10, 2003 Draft minutes were included in Council information packet of 1/8/04.

ITEM 15. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE BY-LAWS OF THE HISTORIC
PRESERVATION COMMISSION.
Comment: At their April 24, 2003 meeting, the Historic Preservation Commission by a
vote of 6-0 recommended amending the Historic Preservation Commission bylaws. This
amendment will clarify the size of the Commission, expiration date of terms, the
policy regarding ex parte contacts and provide for the Historic Review Subcommittee.
This item was deferred and referred to the City Council Rules Committee on 1/6/04. The
Rules Committee recommended approval at their 1/12 meeting.
ITEM16. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION NAMING THE WATERWORKS PARKLAND
-- o~D "WATERWORKS PRAIRIE PARK"
COMMENT: This park has never been officially named, but has commonly been
referred to as "Waterworks Park." The Parks and Recreation Commission, in
conjunction with staff, discussed several possibilities and voted unanimously to
recommend naming it "Waterworks Prairie Park." Since a very large portion of the park
is scheduled to be planted with a variety of prairie grasses, and since it will be one of the
largest urban prairies in the state, the Commission felt it would be most appropriate and
descriptive to include the word "prairie" in the name. Aisc, referring to it as "Waterworks
Park" has proven to be confusing to some people, as they get the idea it is a water park
(i.e. with a swimming pool, water slides, spray fountains, etc.)
