   C.  Legislative Policy Committee

   D.  Municipal Services Committee

   E.  Public Safety Committee

      (1) APPROVAL OF THE PARK FACILITY NEEDS MATRIX
           Recommendation of City Manager: It is recommended that the City
           Council approve the Park Facility Needs Matrix (see Attachment A of the
           agenda report).  The matrix prioritizes 23 of the identified needs
           included in the Green Space, Recreation and Parks Master Plan. 
           Recommendation of Recreation and Parks Commission: At the  
           May 8, 2008 meeting of the Recreation and Parks Commission, the
           Commission recommended that the City Council approve the Park
           Facility Needs Matrix. 
           Recommendation of Public Safety Committee: At the Public Safety
           Committee meeting held July 15, 2008, the Committee voted to
           recommend the following revisions:
           (1) Revise the Park Facility Needs Matrix to:
               (a)       Establish the Identified Need with the top priority to read
           "Additional Urban Open Spaces, Parks, and Multi-purpose fields are
           needed in Pasadena with a particular focus on the seven gap areas,
           including the entire Central District", which includes all recommendations
           attached to the above items listed in the matrix.  This reflects a merger
           of the two "Identified Need No. 11's" from the Park Facility Needs Matrix
           presented to the City Council on June 16, 2008; and
               (b)       Merge all "Recommendations" attached to the above
           referenced items to Item No. 1 of the matrix.
           (2) Delete "Recommendation" 21A ("Consider Water Play Element at
           Victory Park"); and
           (3) Review the matrix after 12 months and, thereafter, every 24
           months.
