CHANGES TO AGENDA V. PUBLIC APPEARANCES VI. BUSINESS A. Forest Glen Park Playground Update Dave reported that over the past ten years the Parks Department had been replacing outdated play structures at various parks throughout the city which included Van Horn Park, Robert Pfaff Park, and Flanagan Park. Of course there was also a new play structure at the Don and Flo Bohnert Farm Park as well. The next play structure scheduled to be replaced is located at Forest Glen Park. The Park and Recreation Commission approved the playground design last year but due to budget constraints, installation is on hold until at least the next fiscal year beginning July 1, 2022. Due to multiple issues including a new surcharge for materials, costs for the play structure had risen from $139, 895 last January to $174,829. While the project is still on hold, if it is finally approved in the next fiscal year, the schedule would be to remove the existing structure in fall 2022 and install the new equipment winter 2023 with an expected opening spring 2023. B. Central Point Cementery Update and Work Plan Dave reported that the transfer of the Central Point Cemetery to the city had finally been completed in December and all paperwork had been submitted to the Oregon 3.A Packet Pg. 2 Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Feb 24, 2022 6:00 PM (APPROVAL OF MINUTES) City of Central Point Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes February 24, 2022 Page 2 State Cemetery Board for the cemetery license. A state license is required since the cemetery is considered active. In this case no new sales of plots will be made, but contracts for plots sold years ago must be honored. A work plan for the year ahead had been developed as well. A botanical survey will be complete in early spring. This will provide information on tree, shrub, and forbs types, numbers, and locations within the cemetery. Dave is working with Dirk Siedlecki, who is with the Friends of the Jacksonville Cemetery, to schedule a headstone repair workshop for both park staff and volunteers. This will be part of developing a volunteer program for the cemetery. A new cemetery map will be developed along with new signage and an information kiosk. VII. UPDATES Community Center: Nikki reported that city staff and Jackson County had been in discussions about developing a cooperative recreation center. The site would be just south of the Expo, near the Expo Ponds and the Bear Creek Greenway Trail. A conceptual plan had been created which includes eight basketball courts, classrooms, kitchens, office space, and other elements. The architect has not developed costs for this plan yet. Meetings with the county will continue and at some point designs will be brought back to the Park and Recreation Commission for public review. Central Point Little League: Dave reviewed the funding and rough schedule for the project which would completely rebuild the existing Central Point Little League Fields. The Noel Moore family had committed $1.5 million towards the project and the city would provide an additional $1.5 million which would come American Rescue Act funds. The cost is expected to be somewhat higher than the $3 million provided so additional funds would need to come from donations, grants, etc. At this time, the schedule would be to complete the design phase by June 2022 and begin construction sometime shortly after. This schedule is likely to change. Nikki reported that city staff had been meeting with the Central Point Little League Board to work out the details for the project and to develop a use agreement between the city and the board. Oregon Fallen War Heroes Memorial Upgrade and Dennis Richardson Memorial Construction Projects: Dave reported that the combined projects had gone out to bid in December. The expected costs for both projects was approximately $477,000. Only one bid was received from Knife River and they estimated the cost at over $703,000. City staff was working with the landscape architect who had developed the plan to make adjustments to the project in order to bring the cost down. If the project is finally awarded, work would not start for at least five months. If everything works out both projects could be completed prior to Veterans Day 2022. 3.A Packet Pg. 3 Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Feb 24, 2022 6:00 PM (APPROVAL OF MINUTES) City of Central Point Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes February 24, 2022 Page 3 Central Point Senior Center: Dave reported the city is in the process of selling the Central Point Senior Center facility to the Rogue Valley Council of Governments (RVCOG). RVCOG manages the Food and Friends program, which is the meals on wheels program for both Jackson and Josephine counties, and the Senior Meals Program which provides onsite meals in both counties as well. Currently, Food and Friends uses the Grange Hall to prepare meals but will move over to their new building when it’s available. Onsite meals will be provided in the senior center in late spring or early summer. The nonprofit that had been using the facility decided to disband so the city’s recreation program will provide onsite programming for seniors in the future. Special Events: Nikki reported that the Eggstravaganza would be held in person and they were expecting several thousand to attend. There will be a drive-in movie at the Central Point Little League Fields with all proceeds going to the League. Made in Southern Oregon would be held on May 7th in downtown Central Point. There will be over a hundred vendors. A movie will be held in the Central Point Cemetery on May 13th. It will be a fundraiser for the cemetery. Another may be held in the fall if it goes well. No event will be held on Memorial Day due to the condition of War Memorial. The recreation program will move into its new facility in the near future. Recreation Program: Elizabeth reported that winter classes have been going well although some classes had to be moved due to the recreation facility being unfinished. She is beginning work on the on the Summer Recreation Guide so if anyone knows someone who might be interested in teaching a class let her know. VIII.

These funds along with city funds provided through the American Recovery Act will be used to renovate the existing Central Point Little League Fields. In order for the city to move forward with the project, the ownership of the property will need to be transferred from Central Point Little League to the City of Central Point. As a part of this process, city staff has been working with the Central Point Little Board of Directors to develop a use agreement which will define the relationship between the city and board related to use and management of the facility once the renovation project is complete. The Little League Board of Directors has requested a long-term agreement, in this case 100 years. Specific elements of the contract include the following: The Central Point Little League will remit to the city a user fee of $5.00 per program participant annually. Additionally, the League will pay a $1000 per year license fee for exclusive operation of the concession facility. The agreement also defines City and League maintenance responsibilities. If the Park and Recreation Commission approves the contract, it will be forwarded to City Council for final discussion and approval. The goal is to have the agreement signed prior to July 1, 2022. Recommended Motion: I move to approve the Central Point Baseball Complex Use Contract as presented and forward it to the Central Point City Council. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

The City of Central Point has matched this figure with an additional $1.5 million which will come from American Recovery Act funds. A conceptual plan for the fields was done by RH2 Engineering in 2021. The Engineers Opinion of Probable Cost estimates the project at just over $3.8 million. While these numbers are just estimates, we do expect that there will be a need to raise additional funds towards the project. Final plans for the Central Point Baseball Complex and a more detailed project budget will be completed over the summer. Once we have better idea of project costs, we will establish fundraising goal. The attached donation form will be updated to reflect the new fundraising goals and be sent to all residents in Central Point and we will directly approach local business. All donated funds will go to the Central Point Parks and Recreation Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and will be tax deductible. At this time, we are asking the Park and Recreation Commission to review the attached draft donation form and provide feedback or ask for any clarification. When finalized, the form will be reviewed and approved by city council.

Mr. Woodhead will present the basic concept of the program to the Park and Recreation Commission for discussion. The program was originally developed in 2013-14 for the Centre Region Parks and Recreation Authority as a park specific addition to their successfully Remembrance Tree Program. The My Veteran/My Hero Program Tribute Tree Program implemented by the Centre Region Parks and Recreation Authority honored eligible veterans who had actively served in the US Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, Army Air Crop, WASP (Women’s Air force Service Pilots) and WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service). For a minimum donation, a 10’ - 12’ high shade tree was planted in a local park. In addition to the tree, an aluminum plaque was installed beside each tree and engraved with the name of a Veteran/Hero, a tree number, and a QR Code that directed visitors to the My Veteran/My Hero Tribute Tree webpage providing details about the veteran’s military service, including a photo. Also included are tree details and the donor name(s). We are looking for input from the Park and Recreation Commission related to implementing a similar project in Central Point. If approved by the Commission, staff will work with Mr. Woodhead to further develop the concept. Suggested Motion: I approved the concept for the My Veteran/My Hero Tribute Tree program and request that staff work with Mr. Woodhead to further develop a program specific to the City of Central Point.

The Oregon Mortuary and Cemetery Board will meet in July to review the city’s application for license and potentially approve a permanent license at that time. The license allows burials to take place at the facility. Cemetery Map: A new cemetery has been created by Benchmark Maps. The old map was hand drawn and difficult to use. The new map will assist with planning and maintenance activities. It will also make it easier for the public to locate family members located in the cemetery. The next step will be to provide an online database of all those buried at the cemetery. Vegetation Survey: Siskiyou Ecological Services completed a vegetation survey of the cemetery. The survey will provide important information that will used as part of the management plan for the site. Since the cemetery is a relatively untouched, the site provides a good example of the oak woodlands that once dominated the Bear Creek Valley. It provides a refuge for native plants, pollinators, song bird, raptors, and other forms of wildlife. Headstone Repair Workshop: On April 6, Dirk Siedlecki and John McGlothin, both of members of the Friends of Jacksonville's Historic Cemetery, held a headstone repair workshop for city parks and public works staff. This was a hands-on demonstration not only on how to do basic repairs on very fragile stones but also how to do them safely. Another workshop will be planned for volunteers in the near future. Volunteer Program: Two groups of high school students have used their community service hours to work on the cemetery. They located military headstones and helped with cleaning the cemetery.

Unknown non-native grasses SITE NARRATIVE The 7.5-acre Central Point Pioneer Cemetery supports locally important natural and historic resource values. Dating back to the 1860s, the cemetery contains gravestones for early settlers in the area and is important to the surrounding community of Central Point, Oregon. It is also a unique, relatively undisturbed remnant of the oak woodlands that once inhabited much of the Rogue Valley. Although altered from its natural vegetative condition, compared to the surrounding urban, agricultural and industrial development, the cemetery has become a significant valley bottom refugia for native plants, pollinators, song birds, raptors, and other forms of wildlife. The cemetery was historically less intensively grazed, tilled, cleared or converted for agriculture than surrounding areas, and therefore, it still supports 12 species of native trees and shrubs 6.D.c Packet Pg. 32 Attachment: Central Point Cemetery_Vegetation Inventory_Species Lists_Narrative_Park Commission (1536 : Central Point Cemetery Update) 5 and 33 native herbaceous plant species. This includes a beautiful oak woodland with mature groves of white and black oak up to 38" in diameter, and large, open grown ponderosa pine trees up to 29" in diameter. White oak is by far the most dominant overstory tree species, creating mature white oak woodland throughout roughly half the cemetery. The most well-developed woodland, with the largest oak trees, is located south of the cemetery's main access road. This area also supports the most diverse populations of native wildflowers, including a very large and robust population of Fernleaf biscuitroot (Lomatium dissectum). Lomatium species are larval host plants for the anise swallowtail butterfly. The Central Point Pioneer Cemetery, located at the center of the photo, is a remnant oak woodland surrounded by urban, agricultural, and industrial development. North of the access road, the woodland is more open with scattered old oak and pine trees, along with a new cohort of young regenerating oak trees and oak saplings. This area contains poor, gravely soils and overall, less native herbaceous species cover, but the harsh soils and sharp drainage support ideal habitat for large populations of common lomatium (Lomatium utriculatum) and some nice patches of Lemmon's needle grass (Eriocoma lemmonii). This area also supports a population of narrowleaf milkweed (Asclepias fascicularis), a larval host plant for the imperiled monarch butterfly. Nearly all the native herbaceous plants provide habitat for pollinator species, including native bumblebees, butterflies, moths, hummingbirds, flies, beetles and other native pollinators. The nectar and pollen available during flowering season is important on a local level, and many 6.D.c Packet Pg. 33 Attachment: Central Point Cemetery_Vegetation Inventory_Species Lists_Narrative_Park Commission (1536 : Central Point Cemetery Update) 6 native plant species found on site also host the larval stages of specific butterflies and moths who survive on the foliage. The large oak and pine trees provide important habitat for acorn and downy woodpeckers, as well as perches for song birds and raptors and internal cavity nesting habitat for a wide variety of species. The acorns from mature oak trees and the pine nuts from mature pine trees also provide food for wildlife species, including acorn woodpeckers, squirrels, and deer that might wander through the area. Madrone berries are also Mature oak woodland in the southern portion of the Central Point Pioneer Cemetery. cherished by wildlife and song birds each fall when they ripen to bright red on the cemetery's handful of existing madrone trees. Additionally, native shrub species such as buckbrush (Ceanothus cuneatus) and whiteleaf manzanita (Arctostaphylos viscida), and even some of the non-native shrub species, provide dense nesting cover, while manzanita, Oregon grape and wild grape produce important summer berries. Native trees and shrubs are also important larval host plants for butterflies. The site is currently functioning, by default, as a small-scale urban nature preserve, but the persistence of native plants into the future will depend on proper management to maintain residual native wildflowers, bunchgrasses and herbaceous species. Care should also be taken to maintain old oak and pine trees, while recruiting and culturing young trees on the northern half of the cemetery into mature woodlands. 6.D.c Packet Pg. 34 Attachment: Central Point Cemetery_Vegetation Inventory_Species Lists_Narrative_Park Commission (1536 : Central Point Cemetery Update)
