Mark Greenaway, project artist, spoke about the memorial and explained the design he
has proposed for the bronze sculpture.
Joe Ramirez, Arts in Public Places Committee member, explained why he is supportive
of the sculpture, explained the research he did prior to voting for the project and
answered questions of the Commission. Mr. Ramirez recommended the Commission
accept the memorial project as submitted.
Commissioner Butz, Chairperson of the Arts in Public Places Ad Hoc Committee, spoke
about the process followed by the Committee and her support for that process.
Commissioner Mathews and Chairperson Sechrist expressed disappointment that no
member of the Arts in Public Places Ad Hoc Committee who had voted against the
project was present to explain their reasoning.
Mark Greenaway explained that he had not been contacted by anyone on the Arts in
Public Places Committee to see the sculpture, they instead looked at a two dimensional
flat piece of paper in coming to their decision.
Ann Hatch quoted from the Art In Public Places Policy to clarify the charge to the
Committee.
Joe Ramirez stated that the other Committee members did not offer any concrete
suggestions for modification of the memorial.
Director Cherry reviewed the timeline for the project and explained why the staff
recommendation was to move forward with the project as proposed.
PUBLIC COMMENT
George Dodge, retired Army officer, encouraged the Commission to accept the project
as it is and in the proposed location.
Al Fonzi, Vice Chairperson Veterans Memorial Committee, stated he did not think the
process of the Arts in Public Places Ad Hoc Committee was a fair one as three
members of the Committee spoke publicly at the November 2nd meeting in opposition to
portions of the project. These three members were then selected to serve on the
Committee and voted to summarily reject the project without notice to the Veteran's
Memorial Committee or the artist.
Roberta Fonzi spoke about the background and qualifications of artist Mark Greenaway,
and drew a comparison between the Art in Public Places Review Committee and
architectural review committees. She urged the Commission to vote in favor of the
project as presented.

Chuck Miller, Lt. Colonel US Army retired and Past President of the Estrella War Birds
Museum, spoke of an exhibit about to open at the museum for which they did not accept
any funds from the city. Like the Veterans Memorial Project it was paid for by donations
only, and he believes Atascadero will support this project and recommended approval.
Bob Wilkins stated his support for this memorial and that this will be an excellent
opportunity for the citizens of Atascadero to honor its veterans.
Chuck Ward, former Marine and member of the Veteran's Memorial Committee, spoke
about artistic judgment and common sense and stated that the Ad Hoc Committee did
not view the project correctly. He stated this is not an art project but a memorial and
asked the Commission to accept the project as presented.
Sharon Recheck stated that though she has been a student of art and serious collector
of art for over 30 years, her opinion of this memorial doesn't matter because it is a piece
of art that reflects the feelings of the artist and what he wished to convey. She stated
the purpose of art is to make us think and create a venue for discussion and learning
and on that merit alone it was worth having.
Pat Tenor stated he is a veteran and that when he is doing his duty he thinks of those
who served before him and he was touched to see that reflected in the statue. He
encouraged the acceptance of the project.
John Jardine, Viet Nam veteran, stated he was very moved by the sculpture when he
first saw it and that this would be an opportunity to put Atascadero on the map as many
would come to see the memorial. He encouraged the Commission to accept the project.
Ty Fox stated she has two sons currently in Iraq, her late husband was a Viet Nam
veteran, and her father served in World War II, Korea and Viet Nam. She said both her
husband and father died saddened by the lack of any kind of honor for their service and
she thinks this is a meaningful piece and is pleased to see the project.
Lon Allen, Veteran's Memorial Committee member, stated he finds the backdrop and
bronze statue to be a wonderful design that would honor those who made the ultimate
sacrifice and those who returned home. He urged the Commission to send the project
on to the City Council with a recommendation for approval.
Greg Slane, Planning Commissioner and former Marine, stated this project is what
Atascadero needs and urged the Commission to vote for it.
Tim Haley, Marine Corps League of San Luis Obispo County, speaking for those who
could not be here tonight because they did not come home from conflicts this country
has been engaged in, urged the Commission to support the project.
Bob Clark, Vietnam veteran, spoke about his belief in this country and of his support for
dedicating a place and memorial for those who have served it.
PRC Draft Minutes 02/15/07

Bob Wilkins spoke about E.G. Lewis and his involvement in World War I, explaining that
Mr. Lewis had developed and built a large dehydrating plant in Atascadero and had
contracted with local residents for food products that he could dehydrate and send to
the troops in Europe.
Lt. William John Hatch, United Stated Marine Corp, spoke about his service and his
family history in the military. He explained that the memorial was important to him
because of its positive energy and spirit, and asked the Commission to honor those who
have put themselves in harms way and made sacrifices for our country.
Shirley Moore stated she hoped the Commission had already made up its mind and
explained how the fundraising for the project is moving forward.
Sgt. Paul Huffard, US Army National Guard, stated the sculpture was very moving to
him; he has been to Iraq twice and will be leaving again in April. He asked the
Commission to approve the project so it could be completed by the time he comes
home.
Glen Sawyer, past commander Veterans of Foreign Wars of Atascadero, stated he
served in World War II and hoped this project would be approved before he is dead.
Bob Profit, member of USMC in San Luis Obispo, commented that this would be a
wonderful place for them to hold memorials for veterans who had passed on.
Ann Hatch, Veterans Memorial Committee secretary, stated that regardless of how the
city votes on this project, they will not find a finer group of people than those here
tonight.
Steve Roberts, former US Army Airborne Ranger, explained that what the Veterans
Memorial Committee were looking for in the statue were character traits and values
such as loyalty, duty, honor, respect for each other, selfless service, integrity, self
discipline and personal courage.
Chairperson Sechrist closed the Public Comment period.
Commissioner Butz commented that it is important to find positives in what happens in
Atascadero and that this has been an opportunity for the public to be part of the
Commission meetings and has generated thought and interest. She stated the public
exposure from the process should make it easier to raise the funds needed.
Commissioner Marks commended the Memorial Committee for their efforts in
developing the memorial; the timing is appropriate and the location is wonderful, visible,
and easily accessible. She stated she was not comfortable with completely ignoring the
Ad Hoc Committee's recommendation and would like to push the committee harder for
recommendations as to what improvements would be helpful in meeting their criteria.
PRC Draft Minutes 02/15/07
Page 6 of 8
Commissioner Butz quoted from the Arts in Public Places Policy, which stated specific
reasons for a rejection should be communicated to the proposer, and stated that it had
been decided that individual committee members would write a statement and forward
that information to the Community Services Director.
Director Cherry reported that the only correspondence he had received from the
committee was from Mr. Ramirez and a summary report from Commissioner Butz.
Commissioner Engstrum stated his concern was that the Commission not get bogged
down with policy and if there is an opportunity to examine the policy further that should
be done separately. He stated this is the voice of local veterans expressing themselves
through a local artist and if this is what the veterans want, he is struggling to understand
why the Commission should give so much weight to the artist's committee
recommendation.
Commissioner Mathews commented that if this project had come forward in the early
visionary stages, then following this process may have been appropriate, however at
this time it is too late. Though he believes in the process, at this point there is
something already in place, and it is time to move the project to the Council.
Student Representative Carden commented that more power should be given to a room
full of veterans who want this than four artists who served on a committee.
Student Representative Buck Moyer stated it seems like the only objections made by
the Ad Hoc Committee were aesthetic, and to her and the veterans who spoke, this
piece was very moving and that it is important to go forward with the project.
Chairperson Sechrist stated that the memorial has done its job by moving so many
people and he cannot see how the Commission could even consider rejecting it.
Commissioner Jack explained that when this project first came to the Commission he
was confused about what it was saying, but since that time he has done reading and
research, and considered Mr. Ramirez' evaluation which put words to the sculpture that
have been echoed by many different people, and he now has a better understanding of
what that statue represents.
MOTION: By Vice Chairperson Jack and seconded by Commissioner
Mathews to recommend the City Council reject the Arts in
Public Places Committee recommendation and approve the
current design and location of the Veterans Memorial Faces of
Freedom Project.
Motion passed 6:0 by a roll -call vote.

Parks and Recreation Commission
Staff Report — Public Works Department
Policy Discussion Concerning Parks, Open Space, Trails and
Recreation Facilities
RECOMMENDATION:
Commission discuss and provide policy recommendations related to the future
acquisition, development and expansion of park, open space, trails and recreation
facilities and its impact on the maintenance and operational costs.
DISCUSSION:
Background: The City of Atascadero has an extensive inventory of parkland, recreation
facilities and open space. The City of Atascadero currently manages and, to varying
degrees, maintains the following parkland, recreation facilities, open space and creek
reservations:
• 94.8 Acres of Improved Parkland -(including the 26 acre Atascadero Lake)
• 34.6 Acres of Unimproved Parkland
• 362 Acres of Open Space and Creek Reservations
• 2.3 Acre Charles Paddock Zoo
• 12,000 Square foot Pavilion on the Lake
• 5.5 Miles of Hiking trails (not including the new Atascadero Creek trails currently
under construction)
Resources allocated for the management and maintenance of the City's parkland and
open space property have not kept pace with recent acquisitions and development
projects. In the past decade, the following parkland and open spaces have been added
to the City's inventory without adequate and corresponding increases in maintenance
staffing and funding:
• Stadium Park
• Pine Mountain Open Space
• Estrada Adobe property
• Downtown Streetscape improvements
• Sunken Gardens Enhancements
• De Anza Park, Equestrian Arena and Trails
• Apple Valley Park (1/2 of the Park cost is covered by the Apple Valley LLA)
• Recreation Center and Landscape improvements (under -construction)
• George C. Beatie Skate Park and surrounding property
• Alvord Corner lot @ Portola and Morro Road
• De Anza Trail near WWTP
• South ECR Center Medians
Analysis: As a result of these acquisitions and development projects, staff and funding
allocated for maintenance has been "spread thin." In addition, a significant number or
repair and replacement projects in our existing park and recreation facilities have been
differed due to a lack of available funding. The Charles Paddock Zoo, Atascadero Lake
Park and Paloma Creek Park, in particular, are aging facilities with aging infrastructures
and a mounting back -log of differed maintenance projects.
Despite this back -log, the City of Atascadero has been making substantial efforts to
renovate our park and recreation facilities as evidenced by a number of Capital
Improvement projects completed in the last few years. Those projects were funded
through various State grants, community donation and City of Atascadero General
funds, including but not limited to:
• Charles Paddock Zoo Utility Corridor project
• Lake Park Playground Enhancement project
• Lake Park BBQ Area #2 Renovation
• Lake Park Pathway improvements
• AARP Building Landscaping improvements
• Sunken Gardens Enhancement project
• Lake Pavilion Interior improvements
Conclusion: Staff is currently working on a strategy to make additional and accelerated
progress on the completion of differed maintenance projects. This strategy includes;
seeking alternative sources of funding, such as grants and donations, working with
community groups to "adopt" park and zoo repair projects, and where possible,
completing differed maintenance projects "in-house."
An additional strategy is to encourage the City Council to adopt a policy that would
discourage the acquisition of new parkland, open space, trails and other recreation
facilities or the expansion of existing parks, unless there is an on-going revenue stream
to cover the maintenance, replacement and operational costs.
Staff requests that the Parks and Recreation Commission discuss this issue and
provide policy recommendations related to the future acquisition, development and
expansion of park, open space, trails and recreation facilities and its impact on the
maintenance and operational costs. If directed, staff will bring back specific policy
language to the Parks and Recreation Commission for action and recommendation to
the City Council.
