The City of Newport Beach's Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department would like
to propose the leasing of the Lincoln School gymnasium and athletic field for
the purpose of providing recreational opportunities to the general public for
a substantial amount of time throughout the year. The Parks, Beaches and
Recreation Department would assume the programming of the field and gym as a
community service to the residents of Newport Beach.
Currently Lincoln School is being leased by Coastline Community College. This
lease is only for the use of the Lincoln School classrooms. Lincoln School
gymnasium and athletic field are not part of this lease agreement and they are
both available for lease by the City of Newport Beach.
The proposed lease would significantly enhance recreational programming in
Newport Beach. Gymnasium programs would include basketball leagues, volleyball
leagues and classes, plus a wide range of activity classes such as aerobics,
dance, fitness, etc. The lease of Lincoln gymnasium would make us less
dependent on other school district sites where we are already paying facility
use fees to the Newport -Mesa Unified School District.
The three athletic fields at Lincoln School would facilitate the City's adult
softball and coed softball leagues. The athletic fields would also be available
to youth groups such as Newport Little League, Harbor Area Baseball, AYSO, etc.
Agreement to specify that the City would be responsible for maintenance of gym-
nasium and athletic field in consideration of the established lease fee at $12,000.
The lease fee would be paid from participant fees on a totally self-supporting
basis.

Having the lease agreement a minimum of ten years would qualify the City to
apply for State funds available for development of school owned lands that can
be used for community recreation. Proposed development and renovation would be
to refurbish and expand the athletic field, new gymnasium construction and
possibly indoor racquetball/handball courts.
In conclusion, approval of the proposed concept would provide a community
facility of benefit to the residents of Newport Beach with two public agencies
cooperating in providing the resource. The Parks, Beaches and Recreation
Commission unanimously endorsed the concept as presented at their meeting of
July 2, 1985.
