At the Feb. 8 Recreation and Parks commission meeting, members were briefed on the Jan. 31 shooting that occurred in the mall parking lot.
Santa Maria Recreation and Parks Commission members grappled with the issue of security at the Town Center parking structure after the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old just four days prior to the commission's quarterly meeting on Feb. 8.
During the commission's quarterly meeting Recreation and Parks Department Director Alex Posada noted that there’s been an ongoing problem — for at least the last couple of years — with teens meeting as a sort of informal car club in the parking structure after hours.Posada responded, “They are some as young as 15 or 16 years old, and also some well into their late 20s. It’s mostly driven around cars; they're car enthusiasts.
The resolution, which now will move to the Planning Commission and City Council for approval, aims to set aside room for green space as the city grows. The resolution includes general suggestions for ways to prioritize open spaces, art and recreation. “If we eliminate [green space] with development, we won’t have this family space downtown," said Commissioner Yleana Velasco."We have the mall and that's our family space downtown, like it or not. We are trying to give them an open area.”In other business
Also mentioned in the art plan, a grant from Clean Air California was submitted for improvements to the bike path on Battles Road. If approved, the $2.3 million project would be covered entirely by the grant. Clean Air California will make announcements in March.
