CORE MOTION
2006-9-1
A MOTION OF THE SALTON
COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT COMMUNITY RECREATIONAL COMMISSION (CORE)
MAKING PARKS AND RECREATION RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
By this motion of the Salton
Community Services District Community Recreational Commission (CORE),
the following are CORE’s recommendations to the Board of Directors
regarding parks and recreation:
1. The Board of Directors should
use the County of Imperial standard of 5 acres per 1000 residents in
determining parkland / open space land requirements. This would mean
that Desert Shores would need 13 acres of parkland / open space at build
out. It currently has 5 acres of parkland so the deficit under this
standard is 8 acres. Salton City currently has 113 acres available but
under this standard it will need 227 acres leaving a deficit of 114
acres. The combined total deficit for Desert Shores and Salton City
would then be 122 acres.
2. The board should take formal
action to dedicate any available district owned land that is suitable
for parks and open space. After the land is dedicated signs could be
placed on the individual parcels to inform the public of these future
park sites.
3. The board should use the
recommendations of the National Recreation and Parks Association as
pertains to the quantity of the different types of parks required as
reflected on pages 3 and 4 of the Community Recreational Commission
Report on Parks and Recreation.
4. The board should direct CORE to
report back to them on November 21st, 2006 on the costs of
implementation associated with items 1 through 3 of this motion plus an
estimate on the cost to rehabilitate and upgrade existing parks and
recreation facilities within the district. After the November 21st
report the board should hold a study session(s) for the purpose of
determining the districts’ monetary requirements as relates to the short
term and long term parks and recreational needs of the community.
5. The board should take full
advantage of the information included in CORE’s “Community Recreational
Commission Report on Parks and Recreation” as a tool in determining the
present and future recreational needs of the community.
