RE: Use of Parking Lots at Perris Hill and Wildwood Parks by YMCA for
Christmas Tree Sales
At the regular monthly meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission on June
20, 1985, Mr. Tony MinD, Associate Executive Director of the Uptown YMCA, addressed
the Commission with a request to use the parking lots at Perris Hill and Wildwood
Parks for Christmas tree sales lots.
The discussion indicated that the YMCA is interested in having those two lots as
their perennial sales sites. The Commission reminded Mr, Mino that when the YMCA
was granted use of the lots in December 1984, it was for one year only in order to
give them time to find a new location, Commissioner Cisneros stated that before
the City allows the YMCA or anyone else to use City lots, it should address such
things as who should be allowed to use public property for such uses, will rent be
charged or will in-kind services be rendered, and will other than Christmas tree
sales be allowed. The Commission feels that the City should develop a policy
prior to granting use of any public facilities by private, non-profit interests
for activities of the type the YMCA is proposing,
Therefore, the Park and Recreation Commission passed the following Motions as
extracted from the Minutes of the June 20, 1985 meeting:
Motion by Commissioner Cisneros, seconded by Commissioner Byars, that the request
by the YMCA to use the parking lots at Perris Hill and Wildwood Parks for Christmas
tree sales be denied.
