WELCOME NEW MEMBER

Chair Lee welcomed Ray Scantlan to the Commission. Commissioner Scantlan relayed that he was in the U.S. Navy for 20 years and 10 years with DOD. He spent a lot of time overseas, was responsible for closing a school and base in South Korea where he was instrumental in preserving some of the artifacts and assets of historical significance. He is interested in video productions, was an educator, and would like to use these skills to benefit the commission. |

DISCUSSION REGARDING REGULAR PRESENTATIONS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES AT FUTURE HPC MEETINGS |
| |
Chair Lee had the idea of getting subject matter experts to present at Commission meetings regularly for 15-20 minutes so that everyone can learn more about the history and foundations of Oro Valley to enhance the understanding and appreciation of the area. Commissioner Casaus agreed with some positive comments. Commissioners Paul and Scantlan were also in favor. Commissioner Paul would like to review topics before presenters are selected. Mr. Jankowski added that although public attendance is usually low, the meetings are posted to the town's website and people do listen to them. He added that commissioners should begin to think about topics. |

DEPARTMENT UPDATE
|
| |
Mr. Jankowski reported that Sites Southwest was in Town last week for the Vistoso Trails Nature Project. Staff and public response was significant. Their formal presentation will be at the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board meeting on February 21. Sites Southwest will also present at a future town council meeting. The Oro Valley Aquatic Center has been closed since the beginning of December and will be reopening Monday February 13 with brand new filters, a new recreation pool heater, competition upgrades, new piping, and a deep cleaning of the facility. The Community and Recreation Center has exceeded 2,700 members, the highest ever. He attributed some of the increase to the free Classic Memberships offered recently through the Renew Active program and noted that the Silver Sneakers program will begin within the next month or two. The MOVE (Marana Oro Valley Experience) Across 2 Ranges event is scheduled for February 25. It begins in Marana in the Tortolita Mountains and ends in Oro Valley, Catalina State Park for a celebration. Anyone interested in volunteering for the event can contact Mr. Jankowski.
