BY: JONAH DART-MCLEAN ATTACHMENTS: APB Sept 23 2020 DRAFT.pdf 3 Parks Advisory Board Meeting Minutes September 23, 2020 Chairperson Norma Hernandez called meeting to Order at 6:49 am. Present- Norma Hernandez, Jessica Schleif, Andrew Fick, Jim Holen, Natalie Osburn, Carla Oja, Howard Rub, and Michele Tompkins. Absent- Josh Saranpaa and Eric Halverson. Staff- Jonah Dart-McLean, Matt Moritz, and David Hoth. Public comments 1. No comments. Approval of Minutes A. August 2020 minutes were unanimously approved as presented. President Hernandez A. What do you hear- President Hernandez heard that people were really missing the pool and working out. Jim Holen [10:20 mostly inaudible] reported that people had been wearing masks on the Cathedral Tree Trail. Michele Tompkins said she frequently used Cathedral Trail and the weather was making the trail slick. She asked if Staff planned to install skid proof pads on the boardwalk. Director Dart- McLean said he was not aware that the shingles had worn off of the wooden sections. He would have Staff address that, but noted that his team was very small and had limited capacity due to other projects. He would add the trail maintenance to the list. Jim Holen offered to volunteer on that project. Director Dart-McLean reported that Staff was working with a mountain biking association on a project at the Column. More information would be provided to the Board in October. Jim Holen said he believed the Column was too dangerous to ride bikes and suggested another location for their project. Michele Tompkins noted people were already riding bikes at the Column, but she agreed it was too dangerous. Director Dart-McLean explained that historically, the trail has been used as a bike trail, and Astoria did not have any other good resource for bikers. The association came to the City because they are interested in using the trail responsibly as much as possible. He would like to figure out how to allow the trail to remain a multi-use trail. Jim Holen suggested signs be posted saying bikes were not allowed. [And then inaudible [14:13] Michele Tompkins said she agreed because she had close calls twice. Jim Holen added that it was not a good idea to let bikers use the trail, even if they offered to chip in, because the trail was too dangerous. He believed the City should promote Klootchy Creek, which has a trail. Employee and Volunteer Recognition A. Director Dart-McLean recognized David Hoth as the September employee of the month. Parks and Recreation Foundation Update (Non-Agenda Item) 4 Jim Holen provided a brief update on the Parks Foundation, which continued to meet monthly. They had scholarship funds available for those who wanted to participate in football. The swim passes were still on hold, but the Foundation has identified community partners to distribute them when the pool reopens. Their next fundraiser would be a virtual 50/50 raffle at Fort George in October. [Inaudible 20:40] He would send out an email with more details. Old Business A. Director Dart-McLean provided an update on the Fort Astoria sign replacement. The committee working on the language revisions has been trying to encapsulate the site’s evolution throughout time. There is a lot of history that must be conveyed in about 165 words, but they were doing a good job. Their draft will be presented to the Board at the next meeting. Board members expressed their appreciation that Staff has facilitated a meaningful conversation about how Astoria’s history is communicated. B. Director Dart-McLean shared details about Li’l Sprouts relocating from the Gray School to the Astoria Recreation Center. Staff has settled in and the children are happy to be in the new location. The new space continues to be refined to increase capacity and do more projects. C. Director Dart-McLean updated the Board on the lap pool gutter replacement project. City Council has approved the contract with Anderson Pool Works and their anticipated start date is October 5th. The tiles being installed will be a bright sapphire color, which will go well with the interior of the pool. Update on Pavers at the Column (Non-Agenda Item) Director Dart-McLean also provided an update on the pavers at the Column. The Friends of the Column had worked with City Council to have the paver removed. They are working with the private individual who had paid for the paver on an alternative engraving. The Friends have implemented a new policy specifying what is considered inappropriate. He has implemented the same policy for the Garden of Surging Waves and was working with Scandinavian Heritage Association to make sure they comply with the guidelines as well. The Maritime Memorial already has very strict rules for their engravings. He confirmed he was tasked with addressing problems when they come up, but the gift shop manager for the Friends of the Column is responsible for enforcing the policy. He offered to contact the gift shop manager to find out how she vets the engravings and offer to assist. Staff oversees engravings for the Garden of Surging Waves and the Maritime Memorial Committee and Staff oversee engravings for the Maritime Memorial. He noted that Friends board members were appointed by the Mayor and a list of who was on the board could be found on the City’s website. New Business A. The Board discussed public meeting requirements and procedures, which were included in the Agenda packet. Board members currently are not given a handbook or any training, so the memorandum in the Agenda packet was very helpful. However, it would still be good to have a work session with Staff to answer questions. It would also be beneficial to give new Board members some type of instruction. Director Dart-McLean said he wanted the City to have the same onboarding system for all of the City’s Board and Commission members. The information was beneficial for him as well because he did not realize the Board members were not given any type of training when they first started. 5 Staff Reports and Upcoming Events A. Staff reports for August and September were presented to the Board as part of the agenda packet. Future Meetings • October 28, 2020 at 6:45 am in City Hall, Council Chambers and livestreamed • November 25, 2020 at 6:45 am in City Hall, Council Chambers and livestreamed Non-Agenda/Miscellaneous Business 1. Andrew Fick said he appreciated the Board’s conversations. He also appreciated Staff’s good work during unique and challenging circumstances. 2. President Hernandez reminded Board members that their job was to be the voice of the community and work to improve parks. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:34 am. 6 PARKS BOARD MEMO DATE: OCTOBER 28, 2020 TO: MAYOR AND ASTORIA CITY COUNCIL FROM: JONAH DART-MCLEAN, PARKS AND RECREATION SUBJECT: PUBLIC MEETING PROTOCOL REFRESHER DISCUSSION / ANALYSIS: City Attorney Blair Henningsgaard will answer questions and provide information about public meeting protocols and procedures.

  • Kinematics of the BMX Supercross Gate Start Grigg, J.1 , Haakonsen, E.2,3, Orr, R.1 Keogh, JW.1, 4, 5
    J Sci Cycling. Vol. 6(1), 3-10 LITERATURE REVIEW Open Access Literature Review: Kinematics of the BMX Supercross Gate Start Grigg, J.1 , Haakonsen, E.2,3, Orr, R.1 Keogh, JW.1, 4, 5 Abstract The aim of this literature review was to identify the depth and scope of peer reviewed literature on rider kinematics of the Bicycle Motocross Supercross (BMX SX) gate start action, in particular literature that describes the optimal BMX SX gate start technique or relates to the prescription of training methods to improve performance. A pilot search was conducted to identify the optimal databases to use. Key search terms and inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to select the articles of relevance which were then critically analysed using the Quality Assessment Tool for Observational and Cross-Sectional Studies. Two studies were retained for review. Both the studies were limited by number of participants and methodological rigour and scored poorly on the Quality Assessment Tool for Observational and Cross-Sectional Studies. No studies were found that correlated kinematic measures from the gate start action to gate start performance outcome. A secondary aim was to investigate the tactical importance of the gate start, power generation at the start of a BMX race and skill acquisition. Literature reported discrepancies between field and laboratory results which demonstrates the importance of ecologically valid research methodology. Despite evidence that the gate start is a critical component of the race with direct implications for race outcome, this review of the literature identified very limited research in the area of BMX rider kinematics of the BMX SX gate.

  • Bmx Design Reference Guide
    BMX DESIGN REFERENCE GUIDE PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THIS DOCUMENT: This design reference guideline is intended to describe the different types of program activities in practice within the industry and to provide guidance to the council on aspects of a successful program that should be considered as they relate to scope, cost, resources, effort and safe design. A companion piece, “BMX Program Guide”, addresses operational safety, best practices and equipment. This guideline is not a substitute for professional design and construction services but is an overview for the volunteer or professional who is considering the creation of a BMX program on camp property. The images contained herein are for illustrative purposes only. They are not intended to represent an endorsement of any particular product or service. PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: The objectives of the BSA BMX program are three fold: 1) To create an appropriately risk managed introduction to the sport in support of physical fitness and well- being. Note: Scouts should first be observed in a controlled environment to assure that they are competent to ride the track. Additional training may be given at this time, if needed. 2) To provide an appropriately risk managed and fun environment where a Scout can sharpen the primary skills of the sport in an environment that builds confidence and self-esteem. Challenge by choice should be respected and reinforced at all times. 3) To support the BMX biking option of the cycling merit badge. BMX bicycles can also be used as a means of transportation within camp. There is a broad range of skill challenges and associated costs related to this sport.

  • Physiological and Performance Characteristics of Road, Mountain Bike and BMX Cyclists Andrew R Novak 1 and Benjamin J Dascombe 1, 2
    J Sci Cycling.Vol. 3(3), 9-16 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Physiological and performance characteristics of road, mountain bike and BMX cyclists Andrew R Novak 1 and Benjamin J Dascombe 1, 2 Abstract The purpose of this research was to quantify several physiological and power output characteristics of high- performance road, cross-country mountain bike (XCMB), downhill mountain bike (DHMB) and bicycle motocross (BMX) cyclists. Twenty-four high-performance cyclists (27 ± 7 years; 182 ± 6 cm; 79.3 ± 9.7 kg; ∑7SF 69 ± 27 mm; -1 -1 VO2 MAX 61.4 ± 9.9 mL•kg •min ) completed both an incremental ramp test and a power profile assessment (PPA) across two separate testing sessions. The PPA consisted of maximal efforts lasting 5 s, 15 s, 30 s, 60 s, 240 s, and 600 s. The ramp test provided measures of VO2MAX, maximal aerobic power (MAP) and individual VO2-power regression equations, whilst the PPA determined metabolic costs, anaerobic capacity and power output across each effort. The data demonstrated that road and XCMB cyclists possessed significantly (p<0.05) higher VO2MAX (65.3- 69.6 vs. 52.4-55.3 mL.kg-1.min-1) and anaerobic capacities (1.7-1.8 vs. 0.9-1.3 L) than the DHMB and BMX cyclists. Further, the same cohorts produced significantly (p<0.05) greater MAP (5.8-6.3 vs 4.4-4.7 W.kg-1), as well as relative mean power output across efforts lasting ≥15 s. The BMX and DHMB cyclists demonstrated greater peak power outputs (~200 W) across the shorter efforts of the power profile.
