Public Open House April 15, 2009
Summary
❖ Over 120 people attended the initial open house for the RPFP to kick-off the project. The
meeting was held on April 15, 2009 from 5:30-7:30.
❖ This meeting was part of the "information gathering" and "needs assessment" portion of
the project.
❖ The meeting was an "open house" format with information tables staffed with Parks and
Recreation staff from each recreation program type and facility. There was also
background information on the department, including facilities and programs provided
and some basic cost and revenue information. Information on broader recreation
programs and opportunities in the community was also available (see Attachment A for a
copy of the information posters available at the meeting).
Members of the community had the opportunity to speak one-on-one with staff and to
provide written comments at each station (see Attachment B for a summary of written
comments received)

has been available on the web and will remain available through April 30. (see
Attachment C for a copy of the feedback form (English and Spanish) available at the
meeting).
❖ Thirty-five people filled out the feedback forms (or provided written information in their
own format). These will be summarized with the other comments received via these
forms on the web.
❖ In general, people are very supportive of the programs and facilities. There were some
suggestions for improvements. There was a lot of concern about various programs or

• EBCC - 2% slope needs to be fixed on North side windscreens near wall. Signs
on courts after resurfacing - No hiking shoes
• Need to ensure existing tennis courts are in good condition, Baseline courts are
heavily used but are in poor condition/dangerous! EBRTC courts - 2 or E side
desperately need re-surfacing. I'm sure there are others as well - some of the
Centennial courts. Tennis is gaining popularity & there is a shortage of courts,
esp weekends and lunch time + after work hours.

aware of the plan to install turf field at East Boulder. While this is a great step in
the right direction there will still be demand for more fields. Boulder County
Force would like to partner with the parks and rec department to fund the artificial
turf field development at Valmont City Park. Please feel free to contact me to
discuss this partnership. Doug Klingemann 303 550-9483

• Waste of water
• A great convenient facility. A very popular activity, I think, a necessary part of
the city's P & R

Golf course Boulder should really think twice how much they claim to be a
GREEN City! !

10 years. Director and teachers are exceptional! We are so fortunate to have the
caliber of instruction that this program provides! Thank you! Charlotte Schneider
• We've a daughter in Jazz express for the 2°d yr now. She dances 3 days a week,
one day at each rec center. The leaders of Jazz Exp do an excellent job coaching

tie - The pottery lab is the only art facility for Arts in this city. Please keep us
from insanity!
• The arts are essential in every community. The pottery lab has turned out some
very good artists. The facility is used by a wide variety of people, ages, ethnic
background and abilities/disabilities. Nancy Utterback has been influential in
transforming the Pottery lab into what it is today. She has worked for over eight
years in making it a fun, organized & well staffed with great instructors. Nancy
has also brought the lab to a facility that is in compliance with health & safety. I
know she works overtime without being compensated. She is an asset to the
Potter lab and the City of Boulder. Loretta Cithauck

Boulder tradition that must be kept!

the best in county!

my recreation - education & relaxation.

modern world. Join the community at the Boulder Pottery lab
• The pottery lab creates a community of all ages and intellectual levels. Elderlies
and challenged person have only the pottery lab to be able to create and be part of
the community. It is essential to keep it open and funded.
• The pottery lab facility is an amazing resource for Boulder residents and non-
residents. The waitlists for classes can be frustrating. I think the pottery lab
needs additional space to accommodate all of those who want to take classes.
Might also help in making the facility more accessible for elderly & people
w/disabilities.
• The pottery lab has become one of the most important activities that I can access
in Boulder Please ensure this Historic facility remains fully funded! Bill
Stufflebeem
• The City of Boulder pottery lab is really something to be proud of. I have taken
classes since I was a child at the pottery lab and my kids take classes also, now. I
am very impressed by the staff and instructors. Their knowledge of ceramics is
very impressive and they are all professionals in the field.

pottery.
• I'm grateful to the pottery lab & City for having a diverse program. Any age or
ability can come together & share & learn and find Joy.

where people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds come together to simply make
something beautiful. The discourse and conversation is enlightening and a great
gift to our community. Tamara Layman
• The pottery lab offers wonderful creative opportunities for all generations to come
together and Play and express themselves. It would be a shame to loose this gem
in the community.

wonderful asset for this beautiful city! ! G.H.

• The greatest growth in the arts in this country is in vocational arts. The
opportunity to grow creatively and personally is an important outlet for people.
The pottery lab program offers people a "hands-on" experience as an opportunity
to connect with their visual creativity. This is essential.

• I'm a techie. I've used rec centers and park here in Boulder, but NOTHING has
opened up my life the way the pottery lab has. It is an incredible unique asset to
Boulder and cannot be replaced.
• Potter lab is a wonderful place for senior citizens. The staff was very supportive
after my husband died. Keep pottery lab open. Thea Palhch (age 75)
• Pottery lab program for people with Brain Injury is wonderful! One of the most
effective, calming therapies.
• A whole person is not only about exercises and sports. Creativity is what make a
community HEALTHY! The pottery lab is not only to stay but to be funded
properly.
• There is only one pottery lab - It's an important center for activity for the non
sporting people. It must be be kept. Thanks
• Pottery lab staff very professional and knowledgeable. Historic facility is
charming - but a little cramped.
• I injured my foot playing soccer and can't play now. I wanted something
CREATIVE to do. I wanted to learn a skill ...so I signed up for classes at the
Pottery Lab. It has been very calming and a fun learning experience. My martial
arts instructor was charged with sexual assault, so I'm not inclined to go back.
Also, I just lost my job at the beginning of the month. Please don't take the
Pottery Lab from me! It's about all I have left! !
• Please keep the pottery lab. It provides an outlet for those unable to participate in
sports and for those who might not have artistic talent, but who like to try.
• The pottery lab adds greatly to the diversity of the recreational program in
Boulder. DIVERSITY is essential for a he community. Veit J Matt
• With plantar fascitus (chronic) this senior citizen is in need of less athletic
programs. Keep pottery!! This type of diversity makes Parks and Recreation
available to a wider segment of the population. A real plus for Boulder.
• The pottery lab has greatly benefited my life and career. It has helped me to come
out of my shell & become a participating community member.
• I come to the pottery lab several years ago and have continued to develop my
pottery skills and emotional health. After losing my full time job of 7 years I
wanted a. change and the lab has given me a vehicle to reinvent myself and return
to my roots as an art instructor which I had put away to work full time in an office
to support myself and raise my two children.
