NEW BUSINESS
State-Of-The-Art Radio Control Raceway
Mr. Harrington presented his findings of cost for a Radio Control Raceway and
asked for feed back on how to obtain the community's input to see if there would
be a demand for this. He also expressed how there isn't a raceway radio control
track anywhere within the greater Columbia Basin. The Radio Control Raceway
could become a big deal and attract people from various locations. He suggested
this could be managed by the clubs through a lease.
Mr. Morgan suggested the City could run its metrics to see the demand.
Mr. Hicks suggested if there is something portable that can be placed in current
parks as a trial for determining the demand.
Mr. Rice gave feedback, based on the Parks and Recreation goals, and
suggested that the PRAB or staff look over the findings to this proposal to
determine if it aligns with the City Parks and Recreation goals.
MISCELLANEOUS DISCUSSION
Accepting nominees for Grand Marshal for 4th of July parade
Mr. Kubalek advised the board members to submit their
nominations for the 4th of July Grand Marshal to Ms. Olivo via
email. Subsequently, these nominations will undergo review by
the Councilmembers, who will subsequently cast their votes on
the finalists.
Hanging flower baskets around town
Mr. Morgan asked if hanging flower baskets were to be hung on
20th Ave. and how he thought it would be a nice addition to town.
Mr. Hicks confirmed and mentioned that they are possibly looking
at other locations to place hanging flower baskets.
Update on Pool, Potentially increase parking?
Mr. Morgan asked for an update on the Memorial Pool Dome. Mr.
Rice responded stating the delivery date is still to be determined
as they are waiting on final design for the foundation of
placement and the Department of Health permit to go through.
Mr. Morgan raised concern with parking at the pool and asked if
there was anything in plan. Mr. Rice responded, stating that due
to an already established neighborhood, parking is limited. He
suggested that they could request other businesses to allow the
use of their parking spaces or consider reducing the size of the
nearest park, although he acknowledged that neither option is
ideal.
Community Gardens
Mr. Harrington asked if the City has community garden. Mr. Hicks

where yards are limited and they are fully in use.
Next Meeting: July 11, 2024
