RECOMMENDATION

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
At the January 17, 2018 Parks, Recreation and Community Services (PRCS) Commission meeting, the PRCS Commissioners requested staff bring back a discussion item on adult sports in Culver City Parks. This discussion was scheduled for the March 21, 2018 PRCS Commission Special Meeting. At that meeting it was determined that, in order to increase the level of public engagement, the Agenda Item would be postponed, more outreach would be done, and the discussion would be held in a community setting, such as at one of the City’s park and/or recreation facilities.
On May 15, 2018, the Parks, Recreation and Community Service (PRCS) Commission hosted a community meeting at Veterans Memorial Park to continue the discussion of adult sports in the parks. The staff report (with attachments) from the May 15, 2018 meeting is provided as Attachment 1. Several topics, issues, questions, and recommendations were raised by community members, PRCS Commissioners and staff. The PRCS Commissioners sought additional clarification to a few items and asked that a representative of the City Attorney’s Office be invited to a future meeting to receive additional information and seek answers to some of the Commissioners’ questions.
Staff recommends the Commission continue its discussion regarding the use of field space for adult sports and, if desired, provide recommendations to City staff for future consideration. As part of the Commission’s continued discussion, a representative of the City Attorney’s Office will be available to respond to questions as needed.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no fiscal impact associated with this discussion.
