Design Subcommittee Report (Sage):
An environmental consultant has been contacted to review the Leslie Street

Sage has drafted a Request For Proposal (RFP document) to incorporate a blend of
Design-Bid-Build and Design-Build processes. It will go to the Ukiah City Council
December 20, 2006, for approval. The blended option allows for conceptual design,
specifications write-up, construction management and construction phases.

A second model will be built more to scale using property lines.
Sage will work with Justin on this.
Recycle/reuse options to be worked into the skating surface design
– concrete road dividers, retired benches, etc.
These will be moveable objects to allow temporary bleachers to be
installed for competition viewing, etc.
Discussed using stone sidewalks (non-skateable) to detract skaters from
skating outside of the skating surfaces.
Review Tasks Assigned in November:

Meeting Date - Tuesday, November 7, 2006 -

Tuesday, November 7, 2006
The meeting was held at the City Hall Annex at 411 West Clay at 5:15.
Present were George Phelan, Trish Beltrami, Ed Keller, Bob Beltrami (President)
and Carole Aleshire (Secretary).
Justin Capri came later and we met Sage outside as we left the meeting.
Additional Agenda Items:
Contributions from an email from Mo, who couldn't be here.
Approval of minutes from October 3 meeting:
Approved without change.
Financial Report:
October financial activity read from an email from Joy:
the skate comp brought in $265 and the booth/skate fees collected were $1106.91.
We also had a donation of $150, donation box collections of $106.53
and skate video proceeds of $132.05 giving us an income of $1760.49 for the month of October.
Fundraising Subcommittee Report:
George wondered about there having been no request for storage of leftover drinks etc. from PumpkinFest.
It was decided to put the Fundraising Subcommittee on hiatus until discussion at January's
full meeting. Posting of these meetings will be taken off the website.
No events are planned now since PumpkinFest.
George is working with John Graff on getting a brochure together using the
Case For Support that came out of our last retreat.
As a marketing person, John could pull something together including the entire committee,
the purpose, etc.
Carole will email this document to George, who will pass it on to John.
Carole brought another idea, from the Ukiah Co-op, to raffle off the bike
that has been donated, for low cost raffle tickets.
Lots of money should come in if we have it planned well.
Carole had also just come from an afternoon of training on Power Point,
and thought perhaps for our presentations to the service clubs, it could
be effective if we could come up with a short presentation with our salient points,
history, where we are, etc. rather than having to talk our way through the entire thing.
Perhaps we can use some of John's work to help shape this.
Carole has made a very rough start with some pictures from the website.
Then after the presentation (hopefully we could borrow a projector from the City)
we could talk for the personal touch and then answer questions (and accept donations!).
Cathy at Expressions suggests we have a multi-merchants raffle basket put together
and display it at the various merchants to sell tickets itself in various venues.
Cathy could help to pull this together.
We'll look in January at organizing a big summer event.
Mo's contributions via email:
- I think we really need to figure out what the donor wall or whatever
it will be is going to look like and get brochures done so we can start
asking for money from local merchants.
Discussion: We need to have a rough design of the park to know what shape
the donor wall will take, where it will be located.
We'll plan to spend some time next meeting figuring out the donation levels.
Some ideas had been tossed around arbitrarily by George, Dina and others a
couple of years ago: <$500 just listing of names on tiles; $500 - $1,000
one size tile, 5,000, 10,000, 25,000 levels: discuss more next meeting.
Look for ideas on the Internet; look at other local causes here and what
donation spread they're using.
Another idea: Rural Murals, kids make murals and then look at how to add the names later.
-
Perhaps we can even send some type of letter out just saying think of us
when you're planning your 2007 budget, we will be contacting you.
Somehow so they know we are going to jump in and start with the direct fundraising.
I'm thinking this for big merchants, Fowlers, Thurstons, Walgreens, Wal-Mart, etc.
Discussion: Perhaps this could take the shape of a form letter saying
we're about to enter the final phase of fundraising, and including Mo's
verbage about planning next budget, etc.
This could dovetail with George and John's work, perhaps with the
above letter introducing the brochure.
We need to come up with a list of service clubs and businesses,
etc. to receive this letter.
Carole will try to come with an initial attempt at such a letter,
but may not be able to find the time.
If any others want to try, we could email it around for reworking.
Design Subcommittee Report (Sage):
Sage got Justin some modeling (claymation) clay (fun to work with!)
to build 2 models-one is Justin's vision and one to be put together
by the skating community at a meeting to be set up by Justin.
The design contractor would then translate these models into plans for
a starting point for local discussion.
The following came after the meeting broke up, when we met with Sage outside:
There have been some delays, but the RFP for the design phase will be
heard by the City Council December 6 and the anticipated time of award
of contractual services will be the first week in February.
We still anticipate breaking ground in the summer of 2007.
Review Action Items for October:
The only task not directly related to PumpkinFest was:
Connect with Alicia regarding what kind of public relations help it is they can offer us.
This was Ed's item, and he reports:
Alicia is with BiCoastal Media, which owns several radio stations.
They get sponsors to pay a set amount to support an (our) organization,
and then give free air time underwritten by these sponsors.
It may be especially effective to use for publicizing a big event.
Ed connected Mo and Alicia together, and we need to ask Mo what
she knows about developments.
Assign new tasks for work in November:
- Carole will send the Case For Support document to George,
who will work with John to develop a brochure.
- Committee members should see what they can come up with for
a cover letter as stated above to introduce the brochure and
mention organizations' budget planning, to pass around for reworking
- Carole will see that the fundraising subcommittee material is taken off the website
- Committee members should look into local organizations' requested donor levels
- Justin will work on a meeting of the skating community to work on a
clay model of a potential skate park design
- Next meeting agenda: Include discussion of donor levels for
what result, for the donor wall

Review tasks assigned in September:
- We forgot to talk to Justin about his gift certificate offer to the
2nd prize loser for Golf Ball Drop-we want to share the expense with him:

A report from Sage includes: Vernon and Marilyn Watkins recently deeded
to the City another acre of land adjacent to the depot site which will
allow for access from Leslie Street and additional room for parking and restrooms;
Roots of Motive Power volunteered more than 282 hours at the skate park site
removing all of the old rail sidings, amounting to over $4,494 in-kind labor
toward our local match; Mendocino ReLeaf has pledged all of the trees and
irrigation for the site; John Danley Plumbing has volunteered to assist
with all of the plumbing at the site; Mendocino County District 2 Supervisor
Jim Wattenburger donated $175,000 for the Skate Park, Anton Stadium and the
Ukiah Municipal Swimming Pools.
Fundraising Subcommittee Report:
Everyone present was involved in the event on Aug. 26,
so there was discussion about results and what went well and what was not so good.
Net earnings were approximately $6400 including $500 from Mendo Maté.
Rotary turned in 218.73 today, Mo will deliver to Joy.
The official results will be coming soon from Joy. Trish will be calling
Eric at UDJ asking for a photo opportunity at Century 21 Realty for
the 3 Golf Ball Drop winners.
Sage says he thinks it was a huge success, lots of money raised for a ½ day fundraiser.
Next time instead of 70' let's try 50' for the golf ball drop to further lessen the bounce.
We also should start earlier with tickets sales-go for at least 3 months.
The skate course was good and nicely close to the music.
Justin apologized for the bad language played by one band.
Sage says not to worry, the same thing occasionally happens at Concerts in the Park.
He reported one emailed complaint to which he responded.
This is a great event to be repeated every year in August.
George was thinking the next step might be to team up to go around and
drum up money from individuals, etc.
Mo suggested we might need to have the design done first and know what
kind of spaces we'll be offering with levels of donation.
Sage suggested we could maybe team up with teacher
Mrs. Lovejoy who put together the Grace Hudson Wall-she has offered
her services for the skate park.
Justin says Alicia from KMFB wants to get people to underwrite
our events-he sent an email to Ed today.
Sept.21 is the next fundraising meeting; next video night is on Sept. 20.
Design Subcommittee Report (Sage):
Sage is looking into high performance factory cast concrete for
transitions-this uses molds, and the information has been passed on to
the design subcommittee & Doug Crane.
Sage has asked for references to check.
It may not be what we want but they're checking it out.
The draft RFP is still set to go out as originally done but they're
looking at this in addition.
The City was deeded the Watkins property on Leslie Street,
which will be incorporated into the design.
Justin mentioned his idea to modify a railroad car to hold bleachers.
This theme would fit well with the rest at the site.
Misc. Discussion:
We have a need for covered storage, 20x20 or bigger.
This is needed right away, as all the ramps wouldn't fit in the
current donated space at C&M.
Carole will put out an email requesting donation of space long term if possible.
If no results, Carole will let Trish know and she'll call C&M to request a
larger or additional space at a discount if possible.
Maybe Carousel would donate space?
George has drinks & tshirts from Aug. 26.
The plan is to use only the Pumpkin Patch as a source of pumpkins
instead of hitting all the stores for a few pumpkins from each.
John Graff would be willing to put together marketing materials
and go out and ask for money.
Carole will bring all our old files to the fundraising meeting on
Sept. 21st on laptop so we can look for old marketing ideas.
Assign new tasks for work in September:
- We forgot to talk to Justin about his gift certificate offer to the
2nd prize loser for Golf Ball Drop-we want to share the expense with him.

Lorraine Pittman, Trish Beltrami, Bob Beltrami (President) and Justin Capri.
Approval of minutes from July 11 meeting:
Minutes not completed so nothing to approve yet.
Financial Report:
No update was provided.
Bob stated that the committee thoroughly appreciates and values Joy's
continued efforts as our Treasurer (including receiving and keeping
our financial system updated with all donations and event proceeds
and providing financial statements, among many other behind-the-scenes
functions) and he reiterated that she has limited time to devote to the role.
As a result, committee members should consider people who might be willing
to serve as our treasurer.
We sincerely hope that Joy can continue to assist us until we are able
to recruit some relief.
Carole's friend Patti is collecting and recycling at work on behalf of the
Ukiah Skate Park effort. She donated the first proceeds, $17. Thanks Patti!
Fundraising Subcommittee Report:
Carole shared that Anne Rosenthol, who had signed on to work with us to
complete the Tony Hawk grant application due in October, has a serious
illness in her family and will be unable to help us out on it this year.
Justin is confident we can pull it together by ourselves.
Plans for August 26th fundraiser, called The First Annual Ukiah Skate Park
Picnic and Skate Jam (concert, golf ball drop, skate jam, picnic) are
just about nailed down:
- General: Set up will be 1:30 to 2:00 after the Farmers Market;
Event starts at 3:00; our area will be at a corner of the pavilion.
This booth will most likely handle sale of Golf Ball Drop (GBD) tickets,
collecting money and waivers for skaters, selling beer tickets (ID to be
checked when redeemed at the beer booth), raffle tickets if we decide to
have a raffle. Trish will call Justin about the raffle (Justin left early),
and will work on recruiting and scheduling people to cover the booth
throughout the afternoon. Carole will be tracking the GBD tickets sold
for inclusion in the drop.
- Vendors include Ukiah Rotary on BBQ, salad and bread; Ukiah Host Lions on beer;
Ukiah Lions on watermelon slices; Kiwanis on root beer floats; Mendo Mate on
their products; Expressions Candy and Gifts on popcorn and cotton candy,
and if possible, frozen chocolate-dipped bananas and ice cream;

department which has been short-handed due to maternity leave and other staff shortages.
Sage to put at top of priority list when Mia returns from maternity leave in two weeks.

Meeting Date - Tuesday, May 2, 2006

Tuesday, May 2, 2006
The meeting was held at the City Hall Annex at 411 West Clay at 5:15.
Present were Matt Wilson (Co-VP), Carole Aleshire (Secretary), Jason Edington,
George Phelan, Trish Beltrami, Bob Beltrami (President), Mo Taglio,
Sage Sangiacomo and, for the first time, Jim Somerville and Patti Lewis.
Approval of minutes from April 4 meeting:
Approved without change.
Financial Report (Joy):
Joy not present to report; skate video nights going well.
Sage brought the news that we were not selected to receive the
Starbucks grant we applied for.
There were many competitors, and we don't know what they were
looking for that we didn't offer.
Fundraising Subcommittee Report: Spring Fiesta, etc.:
Spring Fiesta that had been scheduled for May 5 has been postponed until the fall
because we haven't sold enough tickets to avoid a loss.
People who sold tickets and raised prizes, will ask their contacts
if they want us to return money or prizes or keep for rescheduling.
Checks have not been cashed yet and we have incurred no financial obligations, a blessing!
Reasons this came about:
Bad timing; a lack of continuity; we started too late
(should allow four months next time); nobody in charge.
Planning for this event in the fall:
Start four months in advance, get the word out right at the start,
start selling tickets right away; banner over State Street?
Assign a chair and a second right at the start; fewer people, smaller venue.
Some think the $100 ticket price was too high, others disagree.
Other discussion and planning for events:
-
Shaun Hoben (homegrowninmendo) wants to get a concert fundraiser going with Mo,
in September, with a skate jam and music for young people.
Maybe at Alex Thomas Plaza with a skate jam in the parking lot behind
(to skate costs $5 with waivers).
-
Do Golf Ball Drop soon (July) and publicize the dinner there.
Combine with Shaun's event? Perhaps the skate park site is not so great for electricity,
as needed for Shaun's event. Food available by ticket; golf ball ticket just buys the ball.
Music for free. Barbeque, root beer floats, bouncy house all are fundraisers.
Kiwanis maybe root beer floats, Rotary on barbecue? Lions on something?
Add more lawn for catching golf balls? Use a pool to catch them?
-
Scheduling of events: the Redwood Empire Fair is Aug 10-13, and
the weekends before & after are Sunday Concerts in the Park
(June 11 is the first, Aug 20 the last).
Committee members should jot down potentially conflicting events and
their dates before the next Fundraising Meeting on May 18,
at which time we'll nail down some dates for these events.
Patti will call radio stations to see if they'll give us free publicity.
-
Pumpkinfest is Oct. 14-15 with skate competition and perhaps pumpkin smashing, etc. again.
-
Donor wall: Mo has material on some companies that do them,
maybe not go with Hoyman Browe, but something more rustic and masculine.
Maybe incorporate AODP's youth mural program. Sage will forward contacts to Mo,
she'll call to raise the possibility.
Next regular fundraising meeting is scheduled for May 18, 5:15-6:45
at 411 W. Clay (3rd Thursday of each month).
Design Subcommittee Report (Sage):

Present were Carole Aleshire (Secretary), Jason Edington, Mo and Kasie Taglio,
Sage Sangiacomo, Lindy Dunaway, Ed Keller, Joy Beeler (Treasurer),
Trish Beltrami, Bob Beltrami (President), Judy Williams, George Phelan,
and for the first time, Bruni Kobbe from Mendocino Releaf, Skip Newell and Dana Miller.

Financial Report: (Joy)
Monthly skate video nights have brought in $1440.64 so far for 5 months,
averaging about $288 each night.
Profit so far in 2006 is $2,493.29, and profit overall since 2001 is $30,116.05.
Savings Bank account balance is $31,227.95, City of Ukiah skate park fund
has $5,000 from Montanos' donation and Community Foundation of Mendocino County's
Skate Park fund is at $102,600 for a current cash total of $138,827.95.
(Sage):
$500,000 in bond grant funds are now encumbered and a Starbucks grant was
submitted by the City for $45,000, with awards to be announced in June.
The pass-through bond funds of $175,000 from County Supervisor Jim Wattenberger
for three projects (Skate Park, Anton Stadium, City Pool) will be announced
at Wednesday's City Council meeting-the Skate Park portion is unknown at this time.
These funds cannot act as match but do not require their own match.
$214,000 is the required match for the $500,000 grant, in funds and in-kind.
Fundraising Subcommittee Report: : Spring Fiesta (Trish):
The March 20th phone bank held for 4 hours calling local businesses resulted
in lots of wine donations and another 20 or so other prizes,
some of them big-ticket items.
About 30 tickets have been sold so far.
Trish called the Ukiah Daily Journal and learned it would be $123.50 for a
4x5" ad, with some discounts for additional appearances in same week.
We are hoping to get some further discounting through Eric Burch's
arrangement for his video night ads.
(Discussion of Spring Fiesta):
Joy brought a flyer and a start on printed tickets.
We need to get the flyer to Skip for printing and distributing.
Skip has experience in marketing, and suggests activities for the evening
to attract attention and get people on board for supporting the skate park.
We'll hold an extra planning meeting for the Spring Fiesta at 5:15 Thursday,
Apr.13, in our regular meeting room at 411 W. Clay.
Skip & Barbara will contact their 620-member mailing list.
We need more donations and more tickets sold.
Skip would like to make phone calls.
Tickets and poster have $2000 prize rather than $2,500.
We'll go with the error on those tickets and change them on their face rather
than reprint the tickets.
Tickets will be available at the meeting Thursday Apr. 13.
Joy will be the central person to track and distribute tickets and
collect ticket proceeds, at her Ukiah Main Street Program office
at the Conference Center.
Joy will email the poster to Skip, and to Sage who can save it as a pdf file
to send to all.
Members are taking the pitch for tickets to their service clubs this week and next.
To gain background information for the event, Emcee Bob Alto may come to the
next meeting on Apr. 13 or maybe he can do a questionnaire for us to complete.
We may want to have skating videos running during the event.
Music at the event will be mandolin and guitar music for the cocktail hour until
about 7:00, then background music provided by Sol Dial, and Skip has
some of his music to contribute as well.
Skip will talk to Ukiah Players Theater for season pass(es) or other prizes.
Dana will distribute the flyer to kids at River Oak (who want to help with
our effort); maybe the kids can help with busing tables and serving.
Our "Vanna" is hoped to be a Miss Mendocino runner-up from this year who Mo
is contacting (the winner is booked for that night).
If she's busy, Mo will let Lindy know to ask another runner-up she knows.
Video Nights:
We have confirmed dates of April 26, May 24 and June 21, all at Wright Stuff Pizza.
Next regular fundraising meeting is scheduled for
April 20, 5:15-6:45 at 411 W. Clay (3rd Thursday of eachmonth).
Design Subcommittee Report (Sage & George):
Sage has been out ill for the last 20 days so the RFP hasn't
gone out yet, but will soon.
Sage has had conversations with some contractors interested in submitting proposals.
The RFP is to hire a skate park architect, who will conduct community meetings,
which will be a good time for input from Bruni and Mendocino Releaf.
Bruni is concerned about creek protection and shade trees, and a simple landscaping design.
Review Action Items from Feb. 7:
- Clean up resource list by making phone calls to ask for participation:
Lindy will do this: Carole will email the current list to her.
- Request for financial donation from Allyne Brown at Savings Bank?
Joy will ask Allyne if they want to donate something for prizes,
Trish and Skip will both talk to Marty Lombardi about buying tables.
Next Meeting:
Tuesday, May 2, 2006, 5:15 - 6:45 p.m. at the City Hall meeting room at 411 W. Clay

Meeting Date - Tuesday, March 7, 2006

Tuesday, March 7, 2006
The meeting was held at City Hall's meeting room at 411 West Clay at 5:15.
Present were George Phelan, Mo & Kasie Taglio, Lorraine Pittman,
Carole Aleshire (Secretary), Jason Edington, Trish Beltrami, Bob Beltrami (President),
Lindy Dunaway and Sage Sangiacomo.
Approval of minutes from Feb. 7 meeting:
Approved without change.
Financial Report:
No report was provided.
The question was raised as to where we are with County park bond money
(Supervisor Jim Wattenburger).
Sage not yet present to respond.
We think the county's share of these funds was to be divided among the 3 parks projects.
Fundraising Subcommittee Report:
Plans for May 5 fundraiser dinner are not yet finalized.
Work to be done here with those present.
Jason has let Ed know that when he spoke at Kiwanis, the information was provided that reclamation money from drug busts, etc. needs to be spent on community projects, which could come our way. Ed is contacting the appropriate people.
May 5 dinner: The Conference Center has been tentatively scheduled;
estimated costs have been emailed to us.
We still need a name, to sell tickets & collect prizes.
We settled on the Ukiah Skate Park Spring Fiesta for a name. Bob Alto will emcee.
We will hope to sell 300 tickets at $100, and need to sell 1/3 in order to break even.
Trish will talk to Joy about ticket printing.
Security of tickets will be covered by the log of tickets sold.
There will be a No Host bar 5:30 - 6:30: beer, wine, margaritas on the rocks,
virgin & alcohol-based, water, one other non-alcoholic drink;
Ukiah Lions has the license and commits to manning the tables.
We'll pay them a fee to cover the insurance costs.
We'll provide a bottle each of white and red wine at each of 38 tables,
included in the ticket price. Additional wine available for purchase by bottle or glass.
Food will be buffet Mexican meal. Room & meal & linens, dinnerware is about $10,000.
If we collect enough prizes, we'll have a silent auction in addition to the raffle
if space allows. $2500 is top prize + 5 @ $100, total $3000 in monetary prizes
from the proceeds.. Ed & Mo and George will split winery donation requests.
Do we want to spend $150/hr for Mexican guitar & mandolin?
Another idea from Lindy: no band, maybe a deejay-she asked
Dig Music about mixed music/local artists or local artists with a fiesta theme.
Dig will donate the CD music. For sound and PA equipment,
deejay Ken Steely and John Beatty will be contacted.
Phone bank boiler room for soliciting prizes and selling tickets is
scheduled for Monday, March 20, 1-5 p.m.
Trish will check with Joy for the location,
expected to be at the Conference Center.
George, Jason, Trish and Carole can commit to this.
Mo & Lindy will be making phone calls in the meantime.
Recognition for donators: advertising & free dinner, maybe a gift basket.
Or give a bottle of wine that night & send a gift basket after.
Next fundraising meeting is scheduled for March 16, 5:15-6:45 at 411 W. Clay.
The Starbucks grant brought to our attention by Mo:
Sage has been filling in some of the information (application is only 3 pages),
but needs to know if the project must be completed by the end of this year.
Carole will check on this and let Sage know.
If it's a viable grant option, he will let us know what parts he needs help with.
The deadline is within a couple of weeks.
Lorraine brought up that casinos have some funds available (in March 7 UDJ).
This would warrant checking into.
Design Subcommittee Report (Sage):
Justin messed up his knee snowboarding, can't be here.
The City has signed the contract with the State for the grant funds.
Sage went to grant seminar last week re reporting and audit procedures:
We must have everything in place in order to preserve all the funds.
If our match is not in order or if there is a violation of any state standard,
we would have a deduction from the grant.
Having the Phase 1 go separately with our own funding as previously planned
could pose serious problems, so we will instead use the City purchasing
(professional services) procedures to protect us from these problems.
Phase I, II & III will include design, help designing the request for bid
for construction including materials required, and project management of the construction.
All would be provided by one firm.
The City is already working on a draft for the professional services we require,
and is about to send it out requesting proposals from the firms brought
forward by Justin, Matt and Eric.
This will be a minimum 2-week process, for a $50,000 - $75,000 contract.
Then will be screening of the bids by the Design Subcommittee & City
representative, they will provide their recommendation to the full committee,
then we will make our recommendation which the City Council will hopefully approve.
The winner doesn't have to be the low bidder.
The City's finance department keeps track of all the paperwork.
We can start spending grant funds before we have our match.
The City will finance the process with reimbursement or advance from the grant.
The timeline we outlined in January is off now.
Three months from now would be worst case for selection of our contractor,
more likely two months.
Review Action Items: (not reviewed)
Assign new tasks for work in March:
- Lindy will contact Ken Steely and two other deejays if necessary about equipment donation or cost under $400, and report back next Thursday at fundraising meeting.
- Trish will contact John Beatty re sound system to see if he is available, and another option would be DFM.
Next Meeting:
Tuesday, April 4, 2006, 5:15 - 6:45 p.m. at the City Hall meeting room at 411 W. Clay
(1st Tuesday of each month)

Meeting Date - Tuesday, February 7, 2006

Tuesday, Tuesday, February 7, 2006
The meeting was held at City Hall's meeting room at 411 West Clay at 5:15. Present were Lorraine Pittman, Carole Aleshire (Secretary), Ed Keller, Trish Beltrami, Lindy Dunaway, Doug Crane, Justin Capri (Co-VP) and for the first time, Anne Rosenthal and skater son Jordan Covey.
Approval of minutes from Dec. 6 & Jan. 3 meetings & Jan. 7 work retreat:
All approved without change.
Financial Report:
Read from Jan. 19 fundraising meeting notes: Joy presented a Profit & Loss statement for the year of. Jan 20, 2005 to Jan. 19, 2006, showing income of $6,520.62, expenses of $1,849.73 for a profit of $4,670.79. Joy has broken out income generated from beverage sales, Christmas wrapping, donation boxes (way down, with only about 5 boxes left not stolen and still generating some donations), other donations, food/beverage booth, raffle income, skate fees, skate videos ($673 for 2 screenings!) and t-shirt sales ($979). Expenses are broken out for Christmas wrapping supplies, fundraising expenses, misc. expenses, office supplies, ramp maintenance, t-shirt expense and website (which will be refunded). The Balance Sheet shows we have $5000 in the City of Ukiah trust fund, $1,600 in the Community Foundation fund CFMC, and $28,286.63 in the Savings Bank account, for a total of $34,886.63 cash.
Tony Hawk grant:
Anne brought information for the grant, which is due March 1 and October 1 of each year. Anne asked if we have applied before. Those present weren't sure, but Sage (not able to be here) has pertinent information used for a prior grant that could help answer the many questions she doesn't know the answers to yet. Anne read aloud some of the local factors and positioning the Tony Hawk Foundation prefers, and we seem to be a good fit. The maximum grant is $25,000, and they get as many as 450 applications in a year, but they don't say how many they grant. If awarded the grant, the foundation will review the skate park design and make suggestions. At least a preliminary design is required to include with the grant application.
Justin came in at this point and spoke to where the design committee is on the selection of a design contractor. Sage will have his staff give Justin an outline of how other projects have been approached, and questions to ask. Once they have that, Justin and George will split the list of contractors to contact and interview them. The design may or may not be ready by March 1. One of the questions for the grant is the percentage of in-line skaters and bmx-ers. No bmx-ers will be allowed, due to damage to the cementwork, and in-line skaters are expected to be a small percentage, judging from experience at all the parks they visit.
Consensus is to wait for the October 1 application, to include a more complete design and have more complete answers to the questions. They want us to include newspaper articles, letters of support from prominent members of the community, etc. We should schedule a start to this project 6 weeks in advance of the Oct. 1 deadline. Anne will work on fleshing it out with Sage's information in the meantime and we'll put it on the on agenda for our August meeting.
Doug mentioned that the value of the money from the grant diminishes over time by about 15% per year. We hope to have it built within 2 years so hopefully that won't be a big problem. Doug also mentioned that three City Council seats are up for re-election within 3 years, other than Mari and Doug. We will want to keep this issue before the Council and potential council members as we progress, and hopefully the balance of the board will continue to be favorably inclined toward the skate park.
Design Subcommittee Report:
As reported above, the subcommittee is not yet ready to offer a recommendation for a design contractor. Sage is helping with some methodology for questioning the potential design contractors, and once they have that, Justin and George will contact and interview them. To stay on our timetable, they hope to have a recommendation by the next meeting on March 7. If ready before that, they may request a special meeting. Justin reports that the contractors he's spoken with are interested in our project, now that we have some real money!
Fundraising meeting (Ed):
At the Jan. 19 Fundraising Subcommittee meeting, May 5 was confirmed as the date for $100/plate dinner for 300, and we'll be looking for donations of wine & beer. Work continues on the details before moving on to other event planning, meeting this Thursday at noon to continue the shortened Jan. 19 meeting.
Ed has a list of Chamber members and downtown merchants to be contacted for various types of donations.
Justin suggests he can call the companies contributing videos for our video nights to ask for raffle donations, rather than Eric doing it, because Justin has strong buying relationships with these companies through his shop. Lindy gave Justin the names of the companies providing the next couple of videos; he'll place his orders in advance of their videos being shown, and ask for raffle donations at the same time.
Review Action Items:
Lindy reported on the bumper sticker order: She has received the order of 250. We'll sell them for $1 apiece. Lindy will give about 1/3 of them to Joy to include with thanks for donations. We'll stockpile the rest with the t-shirts at Justin's shop, for sale at the shop and at video nights.
Assign new tasks for work in February:
- Design subcommittee will have their recommendation by the March meeting,
- Fundraising subcommittee meeting will be Thursday at noon at Trish's and then Thursday, Feb. 16th at 5:15 at either the 411 W. Clay meeting room or the Conference Center. Trish will confirm the place and let us know.
- Ed has offered to donate 10% of any net realty brokerage fees to the skate park . He may be placing a newspaper ad at some point to get this out there on other business people's minds. Thank you, Ed!
- Clean up resource list by making phone calls to ask for participation.
Lorraine mentioned she has learned that the Savings Bank hasn't given any money to us because they've received no requests. Allyne Brown would be the contact there to make the request.
Next Meeting:
Tuesday, March 7, 2006, 5:15 - 6:45 p.m. at the City Hall meeting room at 411 W. Clay

Retreat Date - Saturday, January 7, 2006

Saturday, January 7, 2006
The meeting was held at Public Health's meeting room 1 at 1120 S. Dora commencing at 10:00 a.m.. Present were Bob Beltrami, Sage Sangiacomo, Trish Beltrami, Lindy Dunaway, Ed Keller, Carole Aleshire, Joy Beeler, Mo Taglio, Jason Edington, George Phelan, Justin Capri and Doug Crane from the City Council.
Convened at 10:30 after housekeeping announcements.
Agenda:
Welcome
The Park
Goal $?
The Committee & the City: who does what?
Bid process explained
Design
Project Management
Timeline
Committees & structure & officers
Fundraising
Monetary goal:
A minimum of $800,000 for the core park, more like $1 million - $1.25 million including landscaping. The core park, parking, landscaping, seating and bathrooms are all required to be completed for reimbursement by grant funds. Lighting would be separate, but we could install conduit for lighting to be installed later.
We will need to be able to tell the City about supporting cash flow to support this project once the park is built. Site maintenance costs will be at the higher end of recreational facilities. We need to look at what will be the impact to the City. The up front cost is one part only. How many staff hours to maintain? What funds to pay for vandalism? These are questions needing to be addressed at some point.
Bidding process:
The options of Design + Build vs. Design-Bid-Build (design by one firm and construction by another) were discussed, with Doug having lots of knowledge to share. He cautions that Ukiah is a general law city (as opposed to a charter city) and we will have to conform to the rules of general law when using publicly granted funds. Another consideration Doug raised was whether we want a design to include performance specifications (general description, as would be used in buying a car with public funds) or prescriptive specifications, which would include much more detail up front in terms of materials required. Project management would be done after the design is complete, watching to be sure the defined specifications are delivered.
Visioning (designing) of the project could take place outside of the official City process if done with community contributions rather than using public funds, when we would be constrained by public law. This would be what we previously called phase one, where Wormhoudt (for instance) would conduct the process of pulling the community together for coming up with the design and presenting the finished design to the City Council. $12,000-18,000 for this phase was Wormhoudt's estimate about a year ago. Community match could cover this, as well as previously raised funds. If we decide to do this with committee funds rather than public funds, we can select who we want without a competitive bidding process. This would streamline time but probably not cost, because we'd still want the best deal.
We decided to go with this scenario and a directive was given to the Design Subcommittee to research potential design contractors to define our vision and skate park design, and recommend the selection of one to the full committee at the February 7 meeting.
The end product of Phase 1 should be definitive and with specific enough information to answer questions. We will want the designer we hire to articulate the vision to the City Council, which will be the end of Phase 1.
The Design Subcommittee formerly consisted of Matt, Justin and Sage. That group will continue, adding George and Eric Burch, who couldn't be here today. Doug will be available as advisory if called upon. Joy requests that in order to be most responsible with the funds we have raised, the subcommittee demonstrate that they have done substantial research and considered several designers' bids and qualifications before making their decision and recommendation.
Also involved in this visioning process will be discussion of landscaping with the design of the park. Sage will share his views and lessons learned, as from Alex Thomas Plaza. Insurance requirements will also figure in and Sage will help with guidance. Doug mentioned that we should consider any factors that can be seen as redevelopment, to tap into other funding.
Also on the subject of funding, we were reminded that funds from the sale of the firehouse have been set aside for payment of the lease, and were never intended for building or upkeep of the park. We could set up our own trust fund for maintenance down the line if we want.
Doug left the meeting at this point as we started thinking about breaking for lunch.
Timeline defined:
> January 2006
> February 2006
- Phase 1 design contractor recommendation by Design Subcommittee to full committee
- Phase 1 work commences with meetings with committee and skating public
> July 2006
- Presentation to City Council of design: Phase 1 complete
- Begin permitting process (we already have a Negative Declaration of environmental impacts)
- Prepare bid documents, RFP (proposals) & RFQ (qualifications)
> December 2006
- Contractor selection complete
> March 2007
> July 2007
- Park Complete
- Work on lighting or other add-ons may begin
Subcommittees discussion:
Subcommittees we had previously, disbanded in the last couple of years:
Executive
Public Relations
Fundraising
Design
Skate Events
Consensus was that this subcommittee structure didn't work well.
We do now need:
- Steering Subcommittee (the main group of regulars), headed up by officers
- Design, with Justin as the chair
- Fundraising/Publicity together for one committee: Ed on fundraising and acting as chair, and Trish on publicity, Ed on fundraising. Lindy wants to help with fundraising events. Carole will help with grantwriting. Jason wants to help with public relations, grantwriting, and fundraising.
Officers:
Nobody wanted to resign and nobody said they wanted to take on any of the officer positions, so we remain as before: President: Bob Beltrami; co-Vice Presidents: Justin Capri and Matt Wilson; Treasurer: Joy Beeler; Secretary: Carole Aleshire.
Tasks:
- Recruitment-go to service clubs
- Fundraising
- Phone calls to resource list
- Clean up our resource list-first through email, then through phone calls for those we don't hear from-if we don't hear from you we'll remove from the list.
- Write stories, press releases
- Invite the press to our events
- Place ads requesting subcommittee people
- Joy can offer task lists for subcommittees from her committee experience
- Fundraising-define what level of donation gets what? Nice brochures will need content that will be coming in the next couple of months, in the form of design, etc.
- Skate videos: Keep at Wright Stuff until we outgrow it. The group that has been doing these will continue.
Discussion about naming rights for sizeable donations:
Consensus was that $250,000 would be an appropriate figure. If we put out the word and someone came forward with that sum and that desire, we would need approval from City Council. Sage will talk to Candace about this possibility and report back to us at the February meeting.
Fundraising Ideas:
- A donor wall by Hoyman Browe is something we all seem to want. They have been willing to do at their cost, and could do a tile or a mural with tiles pieced in, perhaps 8' x 8' tiles. Maybe a donor wall that has larger plaques at the top for larger donors, going down to smaller tiles. Another idea is a mural more like Willits. How much is inside/outside the fence?
- The idea of an advertising board with signage space sold to businesses was not supported, and it was thought that it would not be acceptable to the City Council.
- Catered dinner, tickets $100/plate for 300 people = $30,000. 300 tickets, each an opportunity to earn $5000 with a huge white board with prizes for as many of 300 blocks as we can raise, with $5000 the last prize. An emcee draws tickets, suspense is lots of fun. A few before the last is drawn, those left go up to the front of the room for the countdown. Sell beer & wine for more income with donations of wine/beer? Would need 90-120 bottles of wine. Bob says the Lions Club will serve the beer/wine, use their liquor license, and we'll get all the proceeds. Lead time needed: 3 months. April 7th or May 5th? Need to give it a name-come up with names about springtime, to talk about at Feb. 7 meeting.
Tasks to cover:
- Firm up the date: to be held at the Conference Center
- Come up with a name, something about Spring: committee members bring
suggestions for a name to Feb. 7 meeting
- Recruit donations of 90-120 bottles of wine, and beer
- Recruit donations of prizes
- Find musicians to play
- Recruit skaters for serving and busing tables.
Monthly skate video screening project has its own group of organizers and will continue
Get skaters involved: Give a prize for those who raise the most money or pledges (must include checks), like a t-shirt, a deck, etc. 24 hour skate-a-thon? Car wash? Rummage sale? Kids ideas? Kids hit up their aunts/uncles/grandparents
Doug Crane offered to do the golf ball drop again, maybe another big barbeque & similar activities to the one in 2003. Let's plan before it gets hot, make it late June.
Next Fundraising Subcommittee meeting: 5:15 Thursday, Jan 19, 3rd Thursday of each month at 411 W. Clay meeting room. Put it on the website!
Meeting adjourned at 3:00.
Next Meeting:
Tuesday, February 7, 2006 5:15 - 6:45 p.m. at the City Hall meeting room at 411 W. Clay (1st Tuesday of each month)
