7. Members Reports and Comments
Commissioner Barraza discussed a pending presentation regarding the use
of Park Rangers for public safety and the cancellation of Commission
meetings. He felt explanations for canceled meetings should be included
for the public. PARCS Director Aguirre replied that the Park Ranger
presentation was scheduled for the May 2, 2022, Commission meeting.
Deputy City Attorney Costa noted the previous cancellations occurred for a
lack of items ready for the agenda. She also clarified that Commissioners
could add items to the agenda or request presentations but lacked authority
to direct specific timelines for staff to prepare items.
Commissioner Cummings commented on the lack of discussions with
community groups during Commission meetings. She recommended the
City send another announcement to remind community groups of the
opportunity to address the Commission at regular meetings.
Commissioner Vang commented on the decade long use of tennis courts for
volleyball at Vinland Park by the Hmong community. She noted a sudden
unannounced change in policy that restricted use of the courts to tennis and
pickleball. The Commissioner expressed concern over equity and access
to the park and asked for a solution that would allow the Hmong community
to once again access their local park for volleyball. She stated the, "find
another park for volleyball," response from some city staff did not address
equity for the Hmong community living in the Vinland Park area. The lack of
transparency caused rumors, such as racism, to abound. Commissioner
Vang asked to know who made the decision to disallow volleyball and put
City of Fresno ***Subject to Mayoral Veto Page 3

Commission
Meeting Minutes
up the sign. Director Aguirre replied that signs were placed at tennis courts
at several parks after they were resurfaced to restore their integrity. He
explained some courts had lines painted or holes dug around them for other
sports. Director Aguirre was working with Councilmember Maxwell on a
solution to allow continued volleyball activity at Vinland Park. He felt the
plan would be ready to reveal publicly in the next week or two. Chair
McCoy requested the Commission receive an update when the solution was
ready.
Commissioner Oputa discussed canceled Commission meetings and
supported providing reasons behind the cancellations. She also suggested
staff reach out to Commissioners to see if they had items for the agendas
prior to cancelling meetings. Finally, Commissioner Oputa discussed
pending budget items for Commission consideration.
With regards to the budget items, Assistant PARCS Director Ramirez
explained the budget recommendations from the Commission would be
considered in the FY23 budget build. Following the Mayor's release of the
budget, the Commission would have an opportunity for additional
recommendations. Commissioner Barraza cautioned the City not wait to
long to get a draft budget before the Commission.
Commissioner Oputa also discussed the public's lack of awareness of
Commission meetings. She would like the next agenda to include an item
in which Commissioner could provide recommendations for city staff to
reach out to the community.
Finally, Commissioner Oputa recommended increasing diversity, equity and
inclusion through our language. She gave examples such as, "houseless,"
as opposed to "homeless," and "staffing the booth," as opposed to, "manning
the booth."
Commissioner Parkes discussed meeting cancellations and felt public
comment should prevent future Commission meetings from being canceled.
She also inquired about the plan and timing for San Joaquin River Parkway
allocation of funds and when the Commission could expect to receive the
City of Fresno ***Subject to Mayoral Veto Page 4
April 18, 2022Parks, Recreation, and Arts
Commission
Meeting Minutes
related survey results. Assistant Director Ramirez noted the survey results
were part of the budget presentation by Public Works Director Mozier. She
also noted Parkway funding was part of "bucket five" facilitated by the Public
Works Department and she would determine how to get that information to
the Commission.
Commissioner Singh voiced concerned about canceled meetings, noting the
Commission meetings were meant to be a place to take public comment.
He also voiced concern about the elimination of volleyball on the tennis
courts at Vinland Park. Last Thursday, he attempted to put both issues on
the agenda and asked about best practices to get items on the agenda.
Deputy City Attorney Costa replied that receiving items late Thursday before
a Monday meeting might not give staff enough time to prepare for the
meeting. As such, the Chair, City Clerk, city staff, the administration and
City Attorney's Office would all consider the timing. In addition, items not
within the jurisdiction of the Commission would not be placed on the
agenda.
Commissioner Singh also announced there would be a mural unveiling on
May 14, 2022 at Jaswant Singh Khalra Park.
Chair McCoy announced she expect all Commissioner proposed agenda
items to be sent to her the Tuesday before the Monday meetings.
In response to the Commissioner concerns about canceling meetings,
Assistant Director Ramirez stated the meetings would not be canceled in
order to allow for public comment on a standing agenda item.
8. City Administration and PARCS Staff Reports and Comments
Assistant City Manager Miller responded to Commissioner comments with
the following: the administration was working on the FY 23 Budget requests
and the budget would be communicated to the Commissioners as soon as it
was ready; she was looking forward to the recommendations from the
Commissioners on how to obtain additional public input; she appreciates
the input about cultural training and would work with Director Aguirre toward
that end, and; the team would work toward a standing item on the agenda to
City of Fresno ***Subject to Mayoral Veto Page 5

keep the Commission meetings on the calendar.
Director Aguirre announced parks throughout the city were at capacity over
the Easter weekend. Reservations were allowed and utilized the picnic
pavilions. PARCS Department staff were in full force to deal with the crowd
to keep parks safe and clean. He also announced April 18, 2022, was the
soft launch for the new parking methods at city parks. New methods
included mobile phone payments and pay stations that accept cash, credit
cards and mobile payments.

Dear Fresno Parks, Recreation, & Arts Commission and Fresno City Council,
My name is Brittany Lee. I am a Fresno resident and I stand in solidarity with the Fresno Parks Advocates United
and fully support their City of Fresno Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Budget Recommendations.
The recommendations are as follows.
1) $5,000,000 for a Participatory Budgeting engagement process.
2) $300,000 for a Youth Activities Fee Waiver Voucher Program.
3) $75,000 to conduct a Representative Sample Survey.
Sincerely,
Brittany Lee
