Parks Recreation Library & Cultural Resources Director Ainsley Legner announced that there will be a meeting scheduled next week. There will be a report on this item at the next meeting.
No report.
Ms. Legner stated that there is a meeting scheduled with the Oro Valley Historical Society to discuss renewal of the Steam Pump Ranch garden agreement with the Town of Oro Valley on October 5, 2011. The renewal agreement expires in February of 2012. This agreement will be forwarded to the Town Council for approval.
Commissioner McClung asked about the Oro Valley Historical Society adding a new garden. Ms. Legner explained that the Town has the latitude to work with the Oro Valley Historical Society as long as the location and sensitivity of the site are taken into consideration. The plan is to have the garden located next to the current garden.
Vice Chair Nagy explained that the new garden would be a six foot by six foot kitchen garden and would include vegetables, herbs and flowers.
Ms. Legner commented that the agreement states that the Oro Valley Historical Society will be responsible for all costs relating to the garden except for water.
Commissioner Guyer stated that there will be a meeting tomorrow with a representative from the Town’s Human Resources Department to finalize the application.
No report.
Recreation Manager Lynanne Dellerman responded to a previous request by Commissioner McClung regarding the event at Steam Pump Ranch to be listed on the website. She checked the website and found that the dates for submission have changed. The Centennial Committee had originally wanted the events to occur from February 2011 - February 2012 with submissions due by January 2011. They have changed that due to the responses they received. Submissions are now due by January 2012. She confirmed that the Steam Pump Ranch tour on February 4, 2012 should be listed on the official website as soon as the details are finalized.
The next centennial meeting will be held on October 19, 2011 at 3:30 p.m. in the Hopi conference room.
The next meeting is scheduled for November 14, 2011. At the last meeting, the commission discussed holding a joint meeting with the Oro Valley Historical Society. Ms. Legner offered to set up this meeting if the commission is interested.
