UPDATE ON GOLDEN EAGLE PARK REHAB Community Services Director Rachael Goodwin stated that rehab is almost complete with the exception of concrete work. She explained that the concrete work was a planned update and trees had been removed in order for proper installation of concrete, however, shade structures will replace where the trees were removed. She noted that the shade structures are an important amenity for shade during sport events in addition to attracting other sport organizations to use the fields. Ms. Goodwin commented that the park fields are open and accepting schedules. She mentioned that little league started the weekend prior with opening ceremonies. In response to a question posed by Commissioner Arnold, Ms. Goodwin reported that the shade structures have certain requirements such as grade, placement, and withstanding certain wind speeds. She added that the shade structures at the park have been budgeted. 6. UPDATE ON BALLFIELD ACCESS AT GOLDEN EAGLE PARK Chairman Ruppert reported that he received a couple of letters from residents on dismay of not being able to access the fields at their leisure and having to make a reservation. TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE COMMUNITY SERVICES ADVISORY COMMISSION MARCH 28, 2019 Community Services Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes March 28, 2019 Page 2 of 4 Community Services Director Rachael Goodwin concurred with Chairman Ruppert’s comments and that she is hearing the same comments, as well as comments in favor of the reservation requirement. She emphasized that drop- in use is available at Four Peaks Park. She pointed out that Four Peaks Park is not as well maintained as Golden Eagle Park, due to the flooding at Golden Eagle Park, the improvements scheduled at Four Peaks Park have not occurred but will be maintained, safe, and reliable. In response to a question from Commissioner Arnold, Ms. Goodwin replied that electronic access to a ball field through staff at the Community Center can be looked into, however, the Community Center is not available seven days a week. Commissioner Fecteau suggested making access less restrictive such as posting free play on specific day/times. Ms. Goodwin stated that posting free play and having staff or volunteers present during the timeframe is something to look into and would address the issue of dogs being on fields. Discussion ensued relative to the access and use to the ball fields. 7. UPDATE ON THE IMPROVEMENTS AT FOUR PEAKS PARK Community Services Director Rachael Goodwin commented that updates to the ballfields to meet minimum standards are occurring over the next couple of weeks. Ms. Goodwin acknowledged that staff have been working hard on a number of “priority” items needed to be addressed over the last 8-12 weeks and that those items are coming to an end. She added that the goal of installing a 5-12 year old playground has been completed and the 2-5 year old tot lot is currently being installed with completion by next week. She noted that wood fiber will be placed underneath the playgrounds and curbing/sidewalks installed soon. Ms. Goodwin stated that a rededication for Golden Eagle Park fields and a dedication for Four Peaks Park playground ceremonies will be done in the near future and will keep the Commission updated. Ms. Goodwin mentioned that electrical work was needed at the park and the lights are currently out of order with possibility through the remainder of the week. She noted that the vendor has been contacted and will work with staff to fix. Ms. Goodwin explained that the proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-20 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) projects for Four Peaks Parks includes unfunded concrete work such as sidewalks and retaining walls, swings, slides, and a zip line. She noted that the CIP is Phase 2 of the playground areas. She added that staff is looking into possible grant opportunities and reaching out to vendors and/or donors to assist in funding the CIP projects. In response to question posed by Chairman Ruppert, Ms. Goodwin replied that canopies have not been placed over the playgrounds and staff is working with Engineering to determine the type of structures that would work best over the equipment, like a Ramada. 8. UPDATE FROM THE WORK GROUP TO DEVELOP GUIDELINES FOR SENIOR CONCERN/WELLNESS ISSUES Chairman Ruppert reported that Commissioner Varela is absent so no update on this item, however, Commissioner Fecteau expressed interest on being a part of the work group. He added that Commissioner Varela will reach out him. Discussion ensued relative to a link being placed on the Town’s website under the Crisis Response Team page regarding resource information. Community Services Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes March 28, 2019 Page 3 of 4 Community Services Director Rachael Goodwin recommended that Commissioner Varela be included to verify all the information is accurate to be placed on the webpage. 9. UPDATE FROM THE WORK GROUP TO RESEARCH GRANT OPPORTUNITIES Commissioner Arnold reported that there are no new grant opportunities, however, a request for funds has been sent to Town Manager Grady Miller for $150 of administrative funds for a 2-year subscription to “The Chronicle” to assist with grant opportunities. Community Services Director Rachael Goodwin suggested to verify that The Chronicle is a reliable resource for the Town and that she will speak to Mr. Grady prior to the next meeting. Commissioner Doty displayed a list of grants and highlighted the following (See Attachment 1):  Arizona State Park (first four grants listed) – Applies to trails, development of new trails, maintenance (new and used), accessibility improvements, and signage (Closed as of March, 2019 following for when open again).  Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority – Quick Program (passing at this time, annual grant), Quick Program for Basketball Courts, Town to apply for the $250,000 grant (grant occurs every two-years).  McDowell Mountain and Yavapai Nation – Completed and turned into Town for submission.

She requested volunteers to call the Community Services Department for contacts. Commissioner Fecteau reported that he attended the Sock Hop which was well organized and well attended, however, residents commented that they were unaware of the event. Commissioner Morgan concurred with Commissioner Fecteau’s comment on residents being unaware of the event. Commissioner Grzybowski commented that the event was placed in the Fountain Hills Times and on social media through the Fountain Hills Connection page. Community Services Director Rachael Goodwin requested that the Commission ask the residents they hear from, what is the best way to inform them of upcoming events. Discussion ensued relating to outreach of upcoming events. 11.

He added that the tours would be broken up over a couple of months for a couple of hours on a specific date/time. 13. DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF YOUTH COMMISSIONER HAYDEN LEADING A SUBCOMMITEE TO ATTRACT YOUTH TO FOUNTAIN HILLS Youth Commissioner Hayden commented that he will do research on how to reach out to the youth in Fountain Hills, such as surveys at the High School for feedback on what they would like to do outside of school. He noted that he will further research on the findings of the activities determined from the survey for weekend events. He added that he would include families throughout the valley to partake at Fountain Hills Community Center events. In response to question posed by Community Services Director Rachael Goodwin, Youth Commissioner Hayden replied that no subcommittee is needed at this time, he will do the research first. 14.

Ms. Goodwin clarified that the update to the lobby is only at an exploratory stage by gathering ideas. She noted that staff at the Community Center are included in the process due to the variety of events that occur in the area. She added that prior to any changes the proposals would be placed on the Commission’s agenda for discussion. Discussion ensued relative to preparing the lobby for events, employee labor costs, storage areas, and updating the lobby to be more modern. Commissioner Fecteau asked to have the item tabled until further ideas are gathered by the group and brought back at a future meeting with defined ideas. Ms. Goodwin confirmed that the group consists of the Community Services Manager Mike Fenzel and Senior Services Supervisor Jennifer Lyons, SSI representatives, and liaisons Commissioners Fecteau and Varela. 9. UPDATE FROM THE WORK GROUP TO RESEARCH GRANT OPPORTUNITIES Commissioner Arnold explained that Commissioner Doty and she found that grants for municipalities are difficult to find, however, found some specific grants for municipal parks and recreation. (See Attachment 2) Commissioner Arnold highlighted on grants for the U.S. Soccer Foundation that offers $15,000 for irrigation, $25,000 for lighting, and up to 33% on the cost on field updates; U.S. Tennis Association offers up to five categories and includes up to 50% of costs, with a maximum of $100,000; and Baseball Tomorrow Fund grant offering field and maintenance education as well as funding up to $10,000 for field maintenance and services. Community Services Director Rachael Goodwin asked Commissioner Arnold to meet with her to review the grants listed. Commissioner Arnold added that Lowe’s Charitable Foundation has grant funding up to $25,000 for playground projects. Commissioner Doty commented that if the Town considers the washes to be potential fire hazards additional grants could be considered. (See Attachment 3) Ms. Goodwin reported that washes are not in her department at this time. Commissioner Doty commented on the Arizona Community Foundation grant and Ms. Goodwin confirmed that the grant is in process and on the Council agenda for May 21, 2019. Chairman Ruppert requested Commissioners Arnold and Doty to combine the grant lists for further discussion at the next meeting. In response to a question from Ms. Goodwin, Ms. Arnold responded that the grant resource membership is focused on non-profits and recommended not moving forward. In response to a question posed by Commissioner Doty, Ms. Goodwin explained that the Grant budget line item for $157,000 is a placeholder, due to the fact that when grants are awarded the Town pays for the costs up front and then the grantor reimburses the Town. She clarified that the $157,000 expensed items are for the tourism grants through Props 202 and 302. Community Services Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes April 22, 2019 Page 4 of 4 10. UPDATE ON VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES WITH TOWN EVENTS Commissioner Grzybowski emphasized on the need for volunteers for July 5, 2019 for clean-up around Fountain Park. She noted that the next event following July 4, 2019 is the Back to School Bash in August, 2019. 11. UPDATE ON SPECIAL EVENTS Community Services Director Rachael Goodwin stated that Community Services Department has finished the last Movie in the Park as well as the Eggstravaganza events and both were well attended. She commented that the next scheduled events coming are the National Day of Prayer, Memorial Day, and July 4th. In response to a question posed by Chairman Ruppert, Ms. Goodwin reported that a rededication of Golden Eagle Park is in process with a date/time to be determined, however, has requested for the rededication to be done during staff hours for park staff to attend. She pointed out that they had done a large portion of the rehabilitation to the park. She noted that Council, office staff, and residents also played roles during the rehabilitation. She stated that she will provide the Commission with the confirmed date/time once approved. Ms. Goodwin reported that at the next meeting she will introduce the new Recreation and Events Manager and added that she will be handling the July 4th event. 12.
