d) Approve Budget Amendment No. 21-034 to record and appropriate $40,000 in grant
revenue from the State of California Division of Boating and Waterways to Marina Park

appropriations to Marina Park - Equipment NOC account 0107023-911024.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Newport Beach (City) provides a wide variety of sailing classes that appeal to
all ages and levels of ability. Private lessons are also available and are one of the City's
most popular options. The sailboat fleet that the City owns is diversified from one-person
dinghies that appeal to our youth, to bigger keelboats that provide more comfort for our
older demographic. In addition to sailing programs and camps, the City offers stand up
paddle board and kayak rentals.
The Marina Park Boating Program had been operating in partnership with the University
of California Irvine (UCI), which owned two safety boats that were mission critical to the
safe operation of the education program. The safety boats are on the water at all times
during any classes and camps, for instructional purposes and the ability to respond to
participants in need of assistance. With UCI's departure, there is a need to purchase
safety boats to continue the program, which prompted the application for grant funding to
cover purchase costs.
Pending the City Council's approval of the grant, the State is prepared to execute the
agreement so that new safety boats could be ordered and purchased. As stated in the
grant agreement, the State will reimburse the City $40,000 for the cost of the two safety
boats once the grant is executed and the vessels are purchased.
FISCAL IMPACT:
To be eligible for grant reimbursement, the City must appropriate $40,000 in General
Fund dollars for the purchase of two Zodiak safety boats. The City expects to receive
100 percent of the expenditure purchase, up to $40,000, in grant reimbursement revenue
from the State of California Division of Boating & Waterways.
The Budget Amendment records and appropriates $40,000 in additional grant
reimbursement revenue from the State of California Division of Boating & Waterways and
$40,000 in increased expenditure appropriations. The reimbursement revenue will be
posted to the Marina Park — Marina Park Sailing account 0107023-561086, and
expenditure appropriations increased in Marina Park — Equipment NOC account
0107023-911024, in the Recreation & Senior Services Department.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

Exhibit A
The City of Newport Beach opened Marina Park and its Community Sailing and Boating Center on December
5, 2015. Marina Park is truly a cutting-edge facility, from its sleek architecture and ample play space to its
broad recreational and facility offerings on both land and water. Marina Park is open to everyone, year-round,
and serves as an extraordinary bay -front center for fun, family, gatherings and celebrations.
Most importantly, Marina Park's Sailing and Boating program provides cost-effective, broad access to safe
boating education for the public.
Marina Park amenities include a 10.5 acre park, bay -side facilities for events, a nautical -themed playground,
outdoor fitness circuit and basketball courts, and on-site cafe adjacent to the sailing center, catering, a picnic
area and a public marina. There are also 177 Marina Park -designated parking spaces, which on the crowded
Newport Peninsula allows for ease of access to Marina Park. Aside from facility rental space, Marina Park
offers classes and programs in a variety of offerings for all ages.
The Sailing and Boating Center is front and center at the facility, with a large interior boat bay, offices and large
configuration of docks that are solely dedicated to the sailing and boating program. Because Marina
Park draws close to 190,000 visitors every year, from all over the world, it is uniquely qualified to disseminate
information and, because it is a bay -front facility with a highly visible boating program, the City can provide
unrivaled public access to classes that promote boating safety. The potential is limitless, and the City has made
a strong commitment to building its boating safety program with the purchase of a large and varied Fleet of
sailboats, as well as staffing a year-round City boating program director, experienced boating coordinator
and boating facilities manager, who actually worked with the program prior to UCI departing, and a pool of part
time employees.
Marina Park draws a crowd, whether they're enjoying the park, the cafe, the beach or the marina. Sailing and
Boating staff interact with potential future boaters every day, providing them with general boating safety
information. Marina Park is the perfect platform to provide boating safety knowledge because of its bay -front
location, beach and dock access, paddle and sailing equipment and day to day reach to a large and
diverse audience.
When Marina Park was built five years ago, the City developed the site with the specific goal of providing
boating education and access to the public. The Sailing and Boating mission, from day one, has been to teach
people how to boat safely and provide cost-effective classes and access to the harbor, whether it is through the
variety of boating education courses the City offers, paddling, or its sailboat rental program.
The City of Newport Beach has been providing boating safety programs for many years. It first contracted with
the Universtiy of California, Irvine, in 2009 to run its boating programs, well before Marina Park existed, running
its programs on the beach without a stand-alone facility. Upon the completion of Marina Park, the City kept on
UCI as the sailing vendor, with UCI actually staffing the facility and managing the administration of the entire
boating program.
That has now changed. The City has taken over the administration of the boating program, and will hire a
contracted vendor to provide solely the instruction for the City's sailing classes, as well as the proctoring of the
ratings tests for the City's Sail Pass (sailboat rental program.) All classes will be conducted out of Marina
Park. The City just made another large commitment to its boating safety program by purchasing the six J22s
from UCI, so that there would be continuity with the City program and its boating safety classes would remain
familiar to our customers. The remainder of the sailboat fleet and equipment is all owned and maintained by the
City. In addition to the six J22s, the City's fleet consists of 12 RS Quests, 2 RS Ventures, 20 Schock sabots, 3
Lido 14s, as well as 35 SUPS and 24 kayaks - all of which are used for the City's sailing and boating classes.
The City will continue to offer beginner, intermediate and advanced sailing classes to people of all ages, in both
dinghies and keelboats - seven days a week, year-round. The City will also offer after school sailing and youth

camps designed specifically to teach safety to our future boaters. One of the City's most popular classes is the
"Parent and Me" in which parents can accompany their children and learn together. The City summer youth
camps have always been packed and have taught countless youth, through the years, how to be safe boaters.
Sometime this fall, a new contract instructor will take over the instruction of the City sailing classes. Instructors
will conduct all classes out of the Marina Park facility and use, exclusively, the City's fleet of sailboats, as well
as coach boats. City staff will oversee all registrations, curriculum and scheduling of classes, as well as play a
major role in the promotion of classes, in person, print and online. The major change from when UCI was
serving as the vendor is that, at the time, UCI staff moved into Marina Park and conducted all operations for the
City. Now, it's City staff that's running all operations, including but not limited to running the boat bay,
overseeing boating class scheduling and course curriculum, creating promotions, operating the office,
maintaining the fleet, interacting with the public, as well as creating and executing all the policies and
procedures.
The City has now also taken over the administration and operation of all the paddle rentals and sailboat rentals
(Sail Pass). With both of these rental entities, the City perceives this as another opportunity to provide a
boating safety message to its customers. Rather than provide a renter with a board and paddle and shove
them off the beach, our experienced and trained City staff take the time to provide a comprehensive orientation
on proper stance, holding of the paddle, boating rules and safety tips. In particular, our staff carefully explains
wind direction, how to read the wind with flags and ripples, and why the wind is a key factor in paddling, along
with tides and current. Staff encourages each of our paddlers to begin their journey paddling upwind, so that
they recognize the difference when they are met with a headwind. Although Califomia law states that a PFD
only needs to be on board, the City rule is that ail our paddlers must wear a properly -fitting, City -provided, US
Coast Guard approved lifejacket. Staff takes the time to fit each paddler, explaining why a loose PFD serves no
purpose. Staff ensures that each jacket is snugly fitted and that the paddler understands why they're wearing
one.
Staff also reveiws rules of the road and emergency procedures. Paddlers are taught how to climb back
onboard, should they fall off. They are taught how to stay with their craft in an ermergency, and how to hail
other boaters by waving a paddle or using the provided whistle. They are also encouraged to be aware of all
other boaters on the water, to anticipate developing situations and to stay to the sides of the channel, keeping
clear of traffic.
The City allows no "walk-in" sailboat renters, but instead has an intemal on -water and written ratings test
system, which will be administered by the contracted vendor. Only upon successfully passing this ratings test
is a sailor allowed to rent a City sailboat. The sailor may choose between a dinghy or a keelboat ratings test,
but must rate in each if they choose to rent in both types of boat. Many of our renters are students who have
leamed to sail in the City program, and now the Sail Pass allows them access to the bay with their family and
friends.
The City's boating program falls under the Recreation and Senior Services (RSS) Department of the City. Its
mission statement is "to enhance the quality of life by providing diverse opportunities in safe and well
maintained facilities, open spaces and parks. We pledge to respond to community needs by creating quality
educational, environmental, recreational, cultural and social programs for people of all ages."
Under the RSS umbrella, all of the City's boating programs are geared toward creating safe and knowledgeable
boaters and paddlers.The City's mission and goals for its safe boating program at Marina Park dovetails with
the Coast Guard's goals and strategies listed below "to ensure the public has a safe, secure, and enjoyable
recreational boating experience by implementing programs that minimize the loss of life, personal injury, and
property damage while cooperating with environmental and national security efforts."
Mission and Strategic Plan of the National Recreational Boating Safety Program:

Exhibit A
With just over three million residents in Orange County, this is the third most populous county in California and
the sixth most populous in the United States. Newport Harbor is the largest recreational boat harbor on the US
west coast, and a popular destination for all boating activities, including sailing, fishing, rowing, kayaking and
paddleboarding. There is significant need for boating safety education here in the harbor.
The City of Newport Beach has been offering sailing classes, contracting with the University of California, Irvine
since 2009. That's more than a decade that the City has provided boating safety knowledge to thousands of
people of all ages. There has never been a safety incident (knock on wood) in any of the sailing classes or
rentals. Safety is the City's number one priority in all of its classes and rentals, with fun closely ranked behind
safety. The City requires every sailor and every paddler to wear a lifejacket while on the water, so the US Coast
Guard PFD message is regularly repeated to all City boating customers.
The sheer number of visitors to Marina Park every year makes this venue an ideal platform for disseminating
boating safety information. Many visitors walking by are drawn in, seeing our fleet of boats and paddle
equipment, curious about our programs and what we provide. This gives us an excellent opportunity to reach
people who would not normally be interested in boating - thinking there wasn't a route for them to get involved.
This segment of the population might only find themselves on a boat once or twice, with zero knowledge of how
to boat safely, leaving them vulnerable on the water. We are able to pique an interest and provide classes for
beginners which, in tum, develop safe boaters out of this previously "non -boating" demographic.
For the demographic that is actually already interested in boating, we are an enticing option because not only
do we provide the classes from beginning through advanced in both dinghies and keelboats, but the City then
has the Sail Pass program, which provides access so a City -educated sailor may continue their journey with
family and friends. In order to participate in the City Sail Pass program, the sailor must take an internal on -
water and written ratings test in either a dinghy, keelboat or both separately in order to be able to take out
those boats. Once on board, the contracted instructor will administer this three-hour on -water and written test,
which is designed to determine if the sailor is a safe and qualified boater, as well as to provide familiarlization
on our particular sailboats. The ratings test is also available to experienced sailors, who have not taken City
classes.
The City provides a wide variety of sailing classes that appeal to all ages and levels of ability. Some
classes are structured with the instructor onboard to provide an additional comfort level for the uncertain
beginner. Classes are designed to try accomodate people's busy lives, so there's always a class available,
whether it's a four-day, two-day, week-long or solely a few hours of sailing. Private lessons are also available,
and are one of the City's most popular options.
The sailboat fleet that the City owns is diversified from one-person dinghies that appeal to our youth to bigger
keelboats that provide more comfort for our older demographic. Instructors are always active sailors with years
of coaching and sailing experience, as well as certified by US Sailing. The City staff hired to run Marina Park
Sailing and Boating are all experienced boaters and were actually involved when UCI ran the City's boating
program.
In terms of safety at the facility, Marina Park has always had two safety boats on the docks, prepared with
floating tow line, a small step ladder, spare lifejackets, as well as a prop guard. The safety boats have always
been on the water during any classes and camps, for more than just instructional purposes. They have been
used as a safety platform, close to the on -water activity and ready to respond, if ever needed. In fact, the
safety boat has responded on two separate occasions (not related to our boating program), when swimmers off
the public bay beach were in need of rescuing. Our instructors responded, even before the beach lifeguard,
and pulled struggling swimmers to safety. All of the instructors who work at Marina Park have always been
CPR/First Aid certified. In addition, all of the instructors who have been hired to teach boating safety for the City
have always carried a US Sailing Instructor Level 1 certification. The docks at Marina Park all have safety
ladders at different locations on the docks, as well as liferings, ready to be tossed to anyone in the water.

Exhibit A
Unfortunately, when UCI departed, they took the two RIB coach boats, upon which the City depended to run its
classes. Because the City is running a busy boating safety program, it is integral that there are
chase/coach boats docked at this facility. When the sailing vendor comes on board, their instructors will depend
upon Marina Park coach boats to instruct all the City classes, as they do not have access to coach boats of
their own for the City classes.

Organization demonstrates targeted approach to identified boating safety education needs and utilizes
curriculum that addresses those needs
3.a. List up to three significant boating safety problems that you have identified in your area?
Contract # C8965309, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2020-21, Date: 02/0112021 Page: 14 of 84

Exhibit A
1.) Overcrowding - Competing uses of our bay between a variety of different types of boater are a key concern.
With close to 9,000 boats docked and moored in Newport Harbor, our bay
where we conduct all our classes is overcrowded, particularly in the summer
and, interestingly, even more so during the pandemic. On any given day
throughout the year, there are multiple, competing uses, including rentals,
day boaters, competitive sailors training and racing, charter boats, ferries,
rowers, fisherman in floats, an anchorage, moorings, gondolas, small party
charter boats (hot tubs, pedaling bars) - to name a few.
Couple the crowding with the fact that most of the boaters are inexperienced
and in many cases inept. Even the bigger powerboaters are obviously not
educated. They simply liked a boat, so they bought it, without taking any
instructional classes. Fenders out, we see them putting out huge wake,
which damages all the boats on docks. When faced with a crowded situation
or sailboats on the water, instead of slowing down and standing by, these
operators gun their boats at high speed, putting out ocean -sized wake and
creating an exceptional safety hazard.
The rental operations around the harbor rent out electric motor Duffy's, as
well as a slew of paddleboards, kayaks and fishing skiffs. No experience is
required and, often, this is the first time these renters have ventured out onto
Newport Harbor - or even onto the water. We speak from personal
experience that our instructors have rescued more rental paddleboards (from
other operations) than we can remember. Renters are shoved off the beach
by the other concession stands with no instruction, holding the paddles
incorrectly, paddling down the middle of the channel obvlious to any other
traffic, and incapable of paddling upwind at the end of the day because no
one instructed them on wind and current.
Finally, there are enormous charter boats that cruise with parties and
weddings onboard through the federal channel. Although they are
professionally captained and travel at slow speeds, they are slow and difficult
to maneuver, posing an added danger to the undeducated boaters on the
water, who cut right in front of them.
In all, our bay, which draws so many visitors, has a distinct need for
the boater safety education that we provide. Despite not teaching powerboat
education, the City produces knowledgeable sailors, who then are competent
enough to pass along their skills on their pleasure outings with friends and
families.

Exhibit A
This photo depicting rental and personally -awned Duffy electric boat use shows this congested situation at its
worst, but on a busy day that photo would include SUPs, big and little boats as wefl as sailboats, (maybe
slightly fewer Duffy's), competing for water space. This picture is worth a thousand words when it comes to how
we determine that there's a problem with overcrowding It really only takes an outing on the water on a sunny
day to experience the overcrowding issue first hand.
Newport Harbor is one of the largest recreational harbors in the United States. Because of our local weather,
boating activity takes place year-round in our harbor and, most sunny days, thousands of recreational boaters
use our harbor. Surprisingly, despite the overcrowding, there are few injuries reported and deaths.
The following article is on a boating accident at the entrance to Newport Harbor, due to speed:
https:lllosangeles.obslocal.com/2013107/i 514-hurt-in-newport-harbor-boat-collision/
There is a 5mph speed limit for vessels cruising in Newport Harbor, which obviously factors into keeping bay
boaters safe. But the sheer number of unqualified boaters on a busy day creates an unsafe dynamic.
Newport Harbor truly is the jewel of the City of Newport Beach. The City has a Harbor Commission,
whose seven members are appointed by the City Council for their expertise in in water quality, boating, land
use, recreation and marine safety. The purpose of the Harbor Commission is to provide the City of Newpor'
Beach with an advisory body representing these diverse uses of Newport Harbor and its waterfront. Also, the
Commission is tasked with providing the City Council in all matters pertaining to the use, control, operation,
promotion and regulation of all vessels and watercraft within Newport Harbor.
As we speak, Newport Beach Measure Z, a harbor commission charter amendment measure, is on the
ballot as a referral in Newport Beach on November 3, 2020. A "yes" vote supports amending the city charter to
establish the Harbor Commission as a designated appointive board and commission.
The Commission brings representatives of all boating interests together so that they are consistently working

Exhibit A
The US Coast Guard says the top ten contributing factors to boating accidents include the following:
Operator inattention
Operator lookout
Operator inexperience
Excessive speeding
Alcohol use
Machinery failure
Navigation rules violation
Hazardous weather conditions
Hazardous water conditions
Excessive force of wave or wake
Because the Marina Park Sailing and Boating program has recently gone through a transition of administration,
with the City of Newport Beach taking over from UCI, we do not have access to the specific curriculum that UCI
used to teach its classes. However, all of the boating safety topics above, and more, have been and will be
included in our class curriculum, regardless of the specific class. Moving forward, our contracted instructors will
continue to be US Sailing Level I certified and the vendor's curriculum will follow US Sailing's suggested
teachings, providing extensive information to our students on, but not limited to, the following topics that help
our sailors navigate safely in our overcrowded harbor:
Wind direction - the key concept in sailing. Is it "true wind" or "apparent wind" and how to differentiate.
Knowing how to read the wind is the first critical step in keeping a sailor safe and in control. Being in absolute
control of a sailboat at all times, regardless of not having an engine, helps prevent any accidents.
Man Overboard Drill - Instructors practice tossing lifejackets into the water simulating overboard recovery - a
good exercise for newer sailors to perfect, helping them to become more familiar with handling a boat in tight
circumstances. Instruction includes alerting the crew "man overboard", immediately tossing a lifejacket to the
person in the water, how to spot the person in the water and immediately bearing off to circle around and
approach slowly and in control upwind.
Returning to and Leaving the Dock - both critical concepts to master in an overcrowded bay
Safety Position - how to slow your boat in order to stand-by to avoid a collision
"Right of Way" rules - the most important of which is to avoid a collision at all costs. This requires an alert
skipper who is aware of traffic and knowledgeable of the rules. Sailors are taught to maintain a proper
lookout, keeping in mind that most boaters don't know the rules, so never to force their way on the water.
Common sense and courtesy are essential when sailing on our bay. Safe speed, stated speed is 5 knots for
powerboats. When sailing in Newport Harbor, the Inland Right of Way Rules apply. When boats are moving
close, we teach our students which boat is "stand on" and which is "give way." We teach that there are rules
that apply between different types of craft on the water, as well as rules that apply when there are commercial
boats and large boats in confined waterways (our harbor.)
Our curriculum covers how to make a course change so that another boater is clear regarding your intentions,
as well as how to approach another vessel coming head-on. Overtaking boats keeping clear is also covered.
As mentioned we have rowers on our bay, and our students are taught that the rowers cannot maneuver or
slow down easily, and that often they cannot see well.
Charter Boats - Because Newport Harbor is considered a confined waterway, our students know that they may
not impede the passage of large boats, and that the large charter boats have limited abilities to maneuver at
low speeds.
Traffic patterns - In Newport, generally boaters should stay to the right, but our sailors are taught to never
cross directly in front of another boat.
Motor boats vs. sailboats - Our instructors teach that our sailors should above all keep clear, regardless of
whether they have right of way, assuming that the other boater is not knowledgeable. However, we of course
teach starboard, port, leeward, windward and who has right of way.
Ferries - Instructors teach that our sailors should always avoid the ferries, and plan their passage to
accomplish this.

Orange Coast College Sailing and Seamanship

These are the main programs within the bay offering boating safety courses. The yacht clubs teach sailing, but
their focus is on competition, which the City does not focus upon. The Sea Base provides Boy Scouts merit
badge youth camps of all sorts, on and off the water, including youth sailing, however they do not provide any
adult sailing classes. Also the Sea Base uses different types of instructional dinghies than the City offers for its
classes. Finally, Orange Coast College offers youth and adult classes, however their boats used for sailing
classes are, again, totally different, providing a different learning experience. OCC also offers ocean navigation,
engine maintenance and repair, long distance ocean sailing and cruising, and powerboat classes - all outside
the realm of what the City of Newport Beach is offering. In fact, we find that OCC is a good complement to the
City classes, as we focus upon the strict beginner giving them the skills in either dinghies or keelboats, so that
they can become confident skippers within our harbor. For the sailors who then advance to offshore boating,
navigation and powerboating, OCC provides that next step of instruction.

Exhibit A
The City made an extraordinary commitment to providing boating education and access to the public when it
built Marina Park five years ago. Again, with the departure of UCI from this program, the City, wanting to
provide continuity to its customers, bought all six of the J22s from UCI. So, in terms of equipment and vessels,
the City has already made a huge financial commitment. The City has also dedicated three key positions to the
Sailing and Boating program, as well as a staff of part-time employees.
Any budgetary items or pricing increases must be approved through City Council, and that process has been
completed for this fiscal year within the City, so the Sailing and Boating program has already been funded -
without coach boats.
Thus, there is only $5000 budgeted from the City to the Sailing and Boating program. Because coach boats
are mission critical for the re -launch of this program, Marina Park Sailing and Boating is relying upon the
funding from this grant for the equipment required to teach its classes.
As an aside, the program is in need of new lifejackets as well as jibs for the J22s, but securing the coach boats
is the one absolutely critical item that needs to be fulfilled in order to move forward with the City's boating
safety classes.

Exhibit A
The City is invested in providing excellent customer service and provides surveys and solicits feedback after
every class. The City sends out surveys to program participants at the end of their class period as an
assessment. The City also puts together a summary at the end of each quarter that gives a snapshot of its
findings. This is for all programs through the City, not just sailing & boating.
Customer feedback is provided regarding instructor's ability to communicate, keep students active and
engaged, overall teaching quality, expectations and were they met, would customer repeat the class, things
they'd change about the class and things they liked most about the class.
Below is the Class/Camp Audit form (we didn't see where we could provide attachment for you.) This form is
designed for City Recreation management staff when performing audits of classes or camp run by City
contracted instructors, in order to best assess the instructors. The City also holds bi-annual contract instructor
meetings with all contracted City instructors to train, go over policies, procedures, and set expectations for the
upcoming program seasons. We can provide DBW a PDF (Successful Summer Camp) that gives a
comprehensive look at the information that we go over at these meetings, as well as the summary document
based on the feedback provided by the public.

Methods used to identify the problem
Contract # C8965309, City of Newport Beach. Aquatic Center Grant FY 2020-21, Date: 02/0112021 Page: 29 of 84
3-35
Exhibit A
The City is always looking for ways to improve upon its procedures and classes, as well as analyzing
instructor performance.
In order to identify areas for improvement, as mentioned previously, City Recreation managers conduct
periodic audits of classes and camps run by City contracted instructors. These audits measure overall
instructor performance including, but not limited to: enthusiasm, positive attitude, warmth, empathy,
knowledge, patience, helpfulness, preparation, effectiveness, clarity and appearance. Contracted
instructors are assessed and provided with constructive feedback. The City also holds bi-annual contract
instructor meetings with all contracted City instructors to train, go over policies, procedures, and set
expectations for the upcoming program seasons. If desired, we can provide a PDF that gives an idea of
what is covered at these meetings.
The City also sends out surveys to camp and class participants at the end of their program as an
assessment. Participants are asked for suggestions for improvement, including their input on instructor's
enthusiasm, creativity, communication, teaching skills keeping students engaged and active and quality of
instruction. The survey gauges the student's opinions about the class ranging from staff, location and class
content.
The City produces a document with the survey findings. Positive notes are distributed through the City
Manager's newsletter, and feedback is provided to instructors as well as considered in the planning process
for future classes.
From these surveys, certain problems surface with associated suggestions, like considering more full day
options for campers, improved parking or drop off areas, sending photos from the classes and progress
reports. These suggestions are easily identified, managed and improved upon.
In terms of providing a tangible example about improving our sailing and boating class procedures, we
provide the following. Our teaching curriculum has always been standard, following US Sailing teaching
protocols, thus is constantly improving as US Sailing continues to provide improved content. Our instructors
are all at least US Sailing Level I instructor certified, so that provides a base level of accomplishment,
capability and knowledge. Our only bumps come from human influence, meaning character traits of our
students, mostly in the youth category. Every so often, our instructors find a younger student who is really
difficult to manage. Their parents have, more than likely, dumped them in camp and they have no desire to
sail or even be near the water. The student becomes disruptive to class and the negative attitude can
influence other students, not to mention pose a safety hazard if the student refuses to listen to coaches.
These students make it quite evident that they don't want to be there and have no interest in learning to
sail. They are also the students that our instructors take on as personal challenges. In other words, the
City's desire is to introduce people to sailing and boating safely and make it an absolutely positive
experience. So, it becomes a personal challenge for our coaches to be able to turn the difficult student
around and have them leave class happy and feeling confident about themselves as boaters.
So, the method for identifying this particular problem becomes the instructor's observations, along with any
feedback from parents or guardians.
Objective 3 - To fund organization that are efficient, and financially solvent. (Page 4-2)
13 b. (continued) Steps you took to improve it
Contract # C8965309, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2020-21, Date 02!0112021 Page: 30 of 84
3-36
Exhibit A
Our coaches work together as a team. Typically, they all know each other personally outside of work,
because we hire the best sailors on the bay, who all know each other from the sailing world. Our coaches
all enjoy teaching and generally all bring a unique ability to connect with people, young or old.
In the case of the youth student who poses a problem, the coaches will identify the specific problem with
the child and lead staff will assign the appropriate coach to the sailor. It is critical that the coach's style
resonates with the child or student. One camper specifically comes to mind. She absolutely in no uncertain
terms did not want to be at camp. The most patient coach of the group was exasperated and finally came
to lead staff, saying she had reached the end of her rope. Lead staff stepped in to work with the sailor and
quickly discoverd an unparallelled stubborn disposition. The winning combination, because all staff was
committed to resolving the issue and refused to give up, was placing the girl with a certain instructor who
had two sisters who were hearing impaired. This instructor had a gift in communicating effectively, patiently
and with understanding. These traits are the intangibles when teaching safe boating. The best Olympic
sailor can come coach, but provide little value, if they do not have teaching skills. This instructor became
the girl's favorite coach, and by the end of session, had turned her into an independent sailor, who went on
to take the next class.
Objective 3 - To fund organization that are efficient, and financially solvent. (Page 4-3)
13 b. (continued) Benefit the improvement provided to your program
Knowing how to work with the wide variety of student personalities, young and old, is critical to the success
of our program. The City's overall goal is to teach people how to boat safely and to plant a love for the
sport, creating enthusiastic, knowledgeable boaters who will continue their educational adventure. Without
coaches who are determined and adept at instructing, our program would not be viable.
So, while this example of an improvement to our program isn't a strict, tangible change of method or
procedure, it is critical to accomplishing our overall goal of producing safe and enthusiastic boaters. Hiring
a broad range of accomplished teachers sets the program up for success, as we know we can work
with every type of difficult personality and, in fact, transform them into happy, qualified boaters. Changing
the temperament of a class influenced by one negative personality allows each student in that class to
adequately focus and walk away a boater, with basic knowledge to make them a competent boater.

13.c What methods do you use ensure that your programming stays current with new trends?
Contract # C8965309. City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2020-21, Date: 0210112021 Page: 31 of 84
3-37
Exhibit A
The City of Newport Beach offers a large variety of recreational classes to the public, accomodating all ages,
infants to seniors. Because it offers so many different classes, including sailing, the City must hire out contract
instructors who are specialists in each field of recreation. There is no way the City could staff specialist
instructors in the myriad of programs it offers.
However, the Sailing and Boating program runs differently because there is City staff managing this
one program, and the City has made a large financial committment with the purchase of equipment dedicated
to sailing and boating. The City has a vested interest in ensuring its Sailing and Boating program is successful.
The only aspect of this program that is contracted out is the hiring of the expert instructors to teach the classes.
The City staff members hired to manage this program are qualified to instruct, but the City has dedicated this
internal staff to developing, implementing and managing the program's procedures and day to day operations.
All the coaches who teach City classes are certified US Sailing Level I instructors, and our City coordinator and
facilities manager are both US Sailing members and active racers from racing families. Thus, staff is directly
tied into the latest coaching techniques, lesson plans and equipment developments from US Sailing and other
resources. Because some of our staff and instructors are actively involved in competition across the country,
they are exposed to sailors from all over, as well as other community boating centers, which often host
regattas. Interaction with other community boating managers is often helpful with a variety of topics including
teaching, pricing, equipment and administration. In addition to staffs personal contacts within the boating
community, DBW provides an excellent resource of boating managers in California. The workshops are helpful,
particularly with the open conversation centering on how each agency approaches running its individual
program.
The City also relies upon customer feedback, actively soliciting input and distributing customer and instructor
surveys after each class.

Exhibit A
Moving forward, as mentioned in prior parts of this application, the City has now taken over all management of its sailing and boating program. The City has now taken
on all the planning and operational duties that its previous partner, UCI, was handling before. All of the City's sailing classes are taught out of Marina Park, using the
City's fleet of sailboats. The City's Sailing and Boating program consists of a variety of on -water boating safety classes that all require on -water coaching. The City also
conducts youth camps, which require even more heightened safety protocols on the water. Most every class requires coaching from a stand-alone platform; instructors
do not often teach from the students' boats and, even when they do, they rely upon knowing that safety boats are available. Having coach/safety boats is a critical
component of our boating safety program. Without them, the City cannot run its boating safety program. These coach boats are a mission critical item.
As mentioned, the City has made an enormous financial committment to its boating program. It has not only secured a large and varied fleet of sailboats, but has
assumed responsibility for maintaining the fleet, as well as hired a boating director, coordinator and facilitites manager, as well as a team of part time staff. Coach boats
were an unforseen item, and thus not in the City budget. But they are an absolutely critical component to the successful operation of this program.
For the past five years, when UCI was running the program for the City, DBW provided funding to UCI for two RIBS that UCI's instructors used for coaching the classes.
However, because those RIBs were grant -funded, UCI retained the two RIBs when it departed this program. This leaves the City with no access to the water for
teaching its classes, moving forward - which is obviously impossible. The City cannot run a boating safety program without coaching and safety boats.
The City has explored several options to secure coach boats. Ideally, the City would continue to use the DBW-funded boats granted to UCI. As far as we've been told,
the UCI boats are not available for the City to use moving forward. If one or both of those boats somehow became available, the City would gladly take them to use for
its sailing classes. That type and configuration of boat worked very well for the City's boating safety classes under UCI's management.
Also, as mentioned before, the City is in negotiations with a new vendor to provide instruction. When asked if they could provide their own coach boats to teach classes,
they informed the City that, while they do have coach boats, they cannot provide them for their instructors teaching the City classes. They do not have enough coach
boats to cover all the classes they are teaching, and to send an instructor from their facility across the bay in a coach boat would add at least another hour of instrutor
pay into their budget, which they cannot support. They have said they are absolutely relying upon the City having its own coach boats.
Our instructors coach from safety boats, rather than being in the sailboat with students. (The only exception is in our youth camps when an instructor may hop in a sabot
with a smaller child but, in addition, we always have a coach boat with instructor on the water coaching the sailors.) Coaching from a coach boat allows instructors to
have their "heads out of the boat", watching from a "10,000 -foot view", observing and coaching an entire class, rather than being so absorbed teaching in one boat that
they miss the bigger picture. It's impossible to coach a group of boats while sailing in a boat. Sailors tend to spread out, and without a coach boat, an instructor gets
separated or can't make themselves heard from a sailboat. Our classes generally cruise the bay, learning to interact with other boaters, as well as learning about
navigation, the impact of tidal and wind fluctuations in certain parts of the bay, right of way, and the skills it takes to sail from Point A to Point B. Without a coach boat,
this would be impossible.
Coach boats also serve as an excellent safety platform, should a dinghy capsize. Our students are all taught to capsize boats and re -right them, but we always have a
coach boat standing by in case of an emergency. In the case that one of our students capsizes inadvertently, having a coach boat on the water standing by, ready to

assist, is a necessity. If necessary, students can be pulled out of the water, and the coach boat gives the instructor a solid platform to right a boat.
In the event that the wind dies, which is sometimes not forecast, coach boats are used to tow our sailboats back to Marina Park; this is not common.
We also have paddle and sailing rentals throughout the year. In the event that we have a safety issue, our boating staff absolutely needs access to the water. Currently,
we have the Harbor Department as a safety resource, but clearly our boating program, once it's back up and running, post Covid and under the new
City administration, will need its own access to the water in the case of an emergency.
The RIBs that we are applying for are similar to what our UCI instructors used for classes in the past. The soft siding is ideal for coming up next to a student in a boat on
the water. No hard surfaces grind together. The engine capacity was ample, the configuration made it easy to stand up, steer and coach, rather than sitting down and
not having the same visibility. The engines allowed for easy towing with our floating bridles, if needed. The freeboard is a good height so we can pull sailors out of the
water, if necessary. Also, this type of boat would allow for coaching in the ocean for our few ocean keelboat classes.
Because the City has only just taken over the administration of its boating program and our boating staff has only just started working back at Marina Park (two of us
worked previously for UCI helping to run the program), we have not had ample time to determine the absolute best coach boat. Our equipment manager has
researched several different types of small powerboats, including whaler -type boats, with hard shells, making them potentially more durable than the inflatable, but not
offering the soft siding for coming alongside students. We've considered the Mako Pro Skiff, the Maritime 1480 skiff, a Chislett Boating skiff, Cape Craft skiffs, and a
couple different models of the Boston Whaler.
Because we have worked with the Zodiak RIBs previously, we know that this type of coach boat has worked well for us in the past. We, also, have worked with this
same dealer in the past, and he has informed us that this boat is actually available. With the Boston Whaler Super Sport, for example, the dealer has said the order
would have to be placed by October 30 in order to get the boat by February. With the pandemic, we have had several dealers tell us that there is a run on boats and,
thus, no boat availability.

skills evaluation for any of our classes - that will more than likely
change moving forward. UCI's instructors were always aware of
our students competency levels. By virtue of being on the water
working with our students (often in the boat with the student in this
class), the instructors can see, regardless of formal written testing,
whether a student is meeting the criteria needed to advance to the
next level. By the end of Gass, instructors will be asking students
to meet the minimum criteria of the class curriculum. In the event
that a student is only meeting the minimum criteria, instructors will
suggest to sailors that they repeat the Introductory Class.
Students in a class all learn at different paces, so the instructor will
work with students individually, based upon their unique level of
learning, but will not advance them to Beginner Sailing, sailing
without a coach in the boat, until they demonstrate adequate skills
confidently.

Introduction to Sailing - Dinghy is an entry-level first experience class. It's designed for the person who's not
sure if sailing is going to be the pastime for them. By simply making the class one day and three hours, the
student gets a feel for the very basics of sailing and safety - without making a huge time or financial
commitment. Instructors reveiw all the safety elements of 9 A -C. For example, lifejackets are incredibly
important and students are taught how to check to see if the jacket is Coast Guard approved, weight limit for
the vest, how to loosen buckles, how to fit a jacket properly, and how to be sure to snug the jacket firmly. We
have displays that show a person with a loosely fitting jacket floating up over the head of a person in the water,
which demonstrates how that jacket will serve no purpose, unless it's snugly fitted.
In this class, the beginner is introduced to weather and wind, tides, and how those factor into sailing. Students
learn how to "see" the wind by looking at flags and mast head flys on boats. All of the safety elements are
covered, but as this is only a three-hour class, the topics are not delved into too deeply. However, the absolute
benefit of this Gass is that for just a minor commitment, this student is generally hooked into the sport of
sailing. A high percentage of these students come back and register for our four-week Beginner Dinghy -
Sailing class.

take this class before they move along to Intermediate Dinghy.
Students move at different paces learning how to sail and some
don't catch on as quickly as others. Instructors will determine on
the water if students have mastered all the basics of sailing,
watching as students sail on all points of sail, looking for
demonstration of critical knowledge, like wind direction, docking,
rigging, tacking, jibing, boat handling, rules of the road, control of
the boat and steering. If a student does not have the basics down,
the instructor will definitely recommend that they repeat the
Beginner Gass.

Description: This 4 -session beginner class is perfect for those with little to no experience who wish to learn how
to sail on beautiful Newport Harbor! You will learn the fundamentals of how to rig and de -rig the boat, points of
sail, how to tack and jibe, and basic rules of the road. You will be sailing our 14' dinghies by the end of the first
day!
Beginner Sailing - Dinghy is one of the City's most popular sailing classes. There are people who walk by the
facility every day, saying they always wanted to try sailing, so we suggest they start with this course. This 4 -
session beginner class is perfect for those with little to no experience who wish to learn how to sail on beautiful
Newport Harbor. Students learn the fundamentals of how to rig and de -rig the boat, points of sail, how to tack
and jibe, and basic rules of the road. Students start off each class with a chalk talk going over basic sailing
terminology. They learn the parts of the boat, with particular emphasis on the tiller and the mainsheet. They
learn about the points of sail, how to read the wind, and how to capture the wind efficiently in their sails. During
the first class, they are already sailing our 14' dinghies with a crew by themselves. We find that the Figure 8
drill, set between two reaching buoys, works well as we emphasize only tacking at first (no jibing) and reaching
tends to be the easiest point of sail.
All the safety topics listed above are also covered, both in the chalk talk, demonstrated while on the water, and
finally reviewed in a post -sailing on -shore debrief. If the student does not master the basics of sailing and feel
confident about moving onto Intermediate Sailing, this class is an ideal class to repeat as instructors can work
with each student individually, building upon information the student has already picked up.

C. If you selected 11 B, 1-4, describe the test The Intermediate Dinghy class appeals to a wide ability of sailor,
or skills evaluation but typically upon successful completion of this class, the sailor will
take our on water skill evaluation and written test.
A good rule of thumb for our instructors is for them to ask
themselves, "Would I want this person hopping in my personal
sailboat by themselves and going for a sail?" If the answer is no,
then the student repeats the Intermediate class. Clearly, there is a
checklist of minimum standards that an instructor looks for in an
intermediate sailor: complete control of the boat, ability to
maneuver and slow down, docking prowess, rigging and right of
way knowledge, ability to sail on all points of the wind, ability to
read the wind from flags and ripples - to name a few areas.
12. Describe how this specific course advances boating safety education. In your answer, discuss course
objectives, examples of how the items checked in 9 A -C are integrated into the course, and the best takeaways

Who is the target audience and how is boating safety improved by educating them?
If this is an intermediate or advanced course, how does it build on the skills learned in previous, less advanced
courses in the series, and how does this course improve boating safety?
Description: This 4 -session class is perfect for intermediate dinghy sailors. Students will build on their basic
skills and learn the finer points of boat handling and sail theory while sailing on beautiful Newport Harbor. The
class will have an emphasis on developing confidence for sailing alone in the 14' RS Quest.
As with all our other classes, the topics in A -C are covered. In the Intermediate Class, any students who've
taken our classes, should have a firm grasp on everything on those checklists. In the intermediate class, it's
time to delve into more intracacy. Students are taught more advanced techniques and maneuvers, learning
how to rapidly stop their dinghies by standing up and backwinding the main. Students are challenged to learn
how to sail backward - a favorite skill, as it rapidly increases a sailor's control over the boat and builds
tremendous confidence.
Instructors cover right of way rules in much more depth, particularly for sailors. By now, students are familiar
with port and starboard, but they build upon that by learning that the leeward boat has right of way over the
windward boat, and that overtaking yacht must stay clear. Capsizing becomes more fun when you're a more
confident sailor, and instructors teach students how to do a "dry flip" escaping getting wet. By now, though, our
intermediate sailors have beent taught so well that there is little chance of an accidental flip. Instructors build
upon the student's knowledge of the buoys in the bay and what purpose they all serve. They look more closely
at current within the bay, how to spot current lines, where it runs stronger and why.
Sailors at this level begin to realize how "STEM" -oriented sailing and boating are. They begin to understand the
math components of sailing, with geometric angles, and the science of wind, apparent wind and forecasts.

Description: A 1 -day class for the novice sailor to experience the joy of sailing on beautiful Newport Harbor.
Have you been wondering if sailing is for you? Then this class is a great place to experience your First Sail.
You and up to two other students will join our instructor on board an RS Venture keelboat, and work together to
rig and sail the boat learning basic sailing skills including steering, sail trim and rules of the road.
This class is perfectly suited for the timid, but curious student - the person who'd like to get on the water to see
what sailing is all about, but they're not about to climb in a boat alone. The RS Venture's open seating
configuration allows for instructors to join their students in the boat, rather than teaching from a coach boat.
Just having an instructor onboard relieves any stress the student might be feeling. Knowing that they have an
instructor with them gives a student the comfort to learn more easily and quickly. Most beginner sailors are
terrified of heeling at first. They don't understand that this is a natural part of sailing and can be absolutely
controlled. Once an instructor hands over the mainsheet and lets the student experiment with catching the
wind and then easing the sails to release the wind, the confidence builds. Understanding this basic concept and
that the mainsheet is the "gas pedal" is a huge safety step. Instructors combine that knowledge with steering
basics; students begin to understand the steering is counter -intuitive. They learn how to control the boat
through steering and slowing by putting the bow into the safety position. Knowing the safety position, with the
bow slightly off the wind and sails luffing, is a critical form of control that allows a sailor to avoid any collisions.
The end goal of this class is that we've reached the entry level demographic with three hours of boating safety
information, that the student leaves as a much more educated boater and that they leave class wanting to learn
more.

or skills evaluation in terms of what we expect from a student before they are
recommended to move on. This class is unique because it can be
taken at least a couple of times and, in fact, instructors often
recommend that students re -take this class before they move
along to Keelboat 1. Students move at different paces learning
how to sail and some don't catch on as quickly as others.
Instructors will determine on the water if students have mastered
all the basics of sailing, watching as students sail on all points of
sail, looking for demonstration of critical knowledge, like wind
direction, docking, rigging, rules of the road, control of the boat and
steering. If a student does not have the basics down, the instructor
will definitely recommend that they repeat this class.
12. Describe how this specific course advances boating safety education. In your answer, discuss course

If this is an intermediate or advanced course, how does it build on the skills learned in previous, less advanced
courses in the series, and how does this course improve boating safety?
Description: This 4 -session beginner class is perfect for those with little to no experience who wish to learn how
to sail on beautiful Newport Harbor. You will learn the fundamentals of how to rig and de -rig the boat, points of
sail, how to tack and jibe, and basic rules of the road. You will be sailing in our beautiful J/22s.
While Introduction to Sailing - Keelboat is just a one -day introductory sailing class, Beginner Sailing - Keelboat
is a four -session, 12 -hour beginning sailing class. Instead of learning to sail in a dinghy, these beginner sailors
are learning to sail in the J22. Because these keelboats are bigger than the dinghies, more students can be
placed onboard at a time, so a beginning student doesn't have to manage everything onboard at once.
Students split duties learning to trim the main separately from steering, and eventually learning to trim the jib.
Coaches provide in-depth chalk talks on dock -side instruction long before students venture onto the water.
Sailors learn all the parts of the boat and sails, as well as how to rig and de -rig properly. Rules of the road as
well as all the safety topics in A -C are covered repeatedly.
The goal of this course is to create new, properly educated entry-level sailors, who are provided a sound base
of boater safety information. The hope is that these sailors will return to further their education and build upon
skills.

If you selected 11 B, 1-4, describe the test With Keelboat 1, instructors are certain to qualify a sailor before
or skills evaluation they move on to Keelboat 2. There are a number of reasons for
this, including the fact that the keelboat is bigger, less
maneuverable than a dinghy and once it's moving carries a lot of
momentum. Bigger mistakes can typically be made on a keelboat.
So the instructor will ascertain if a student is comfortable with
rigging, familiar with all the lines aboard, absolutely can
demonstrate control in the boat, from slowing and stopping to
docking without coming in with heat. Students must demonstrate
man overboard drills, proper sailing technique on all points of sail,
as well as show they have a basic understanding of the rules of
the waterway. Keelboat 2 is a big jump, so instructors will not
recommend a student for that class unless they've demonstrated

12. Describe how this specific course advances boating safety education. In your answer, discuss course
objectives, examples of how the items checked in 9 A -C are integrated into the course, and the best takeaways
for students that support improvements to boating safety.
Who is the target audience and how is boating safety improved by educating them?
If this is an intermediate or advanced course, how does it build on the skills learned in previous, less advanced
courses in the series, and how does this course improve boating safety?
This class has been classified as a beginner class in the past, but during this particular year under UCI, it was
labeled as a class that needed the Beginner Sailing - Keelboat class as a pre -requisite. The City will assess the
need and demand for the currently existing schedule of Intro to Sailing - Keelboat, Beginner Sailing - Keelboat
and Keelboat 1 class.
The introductory keelboat classes are taught in the City's RS Ventures. These boats have a lower profile, and
an instructor, if needed, can be in the boat with the student, reducing anxiety and adding to overall control of
the boat. However, typically in the Keelboat I class, the instructor coaches from a coach boat. Thus, in order
to sail the J22s, the student must already possess an overall knowledge of how to sail safely.
The target audience for this class is the person who wants to sail independently around the bay. This person
has already taken some sailing classes so understands sailing fundamentals, but is ready to build upon their
base knowledge. These are the students who have enough confidence to do this, but definitely need more time
in a boat to fully understand the complexities of navigating a harbor in a heavy boat. And the J22 is a heavy
boat. It takes time to gain headway and steerage and it take time to slow momentum. Students in this
class learn how to have control over a heavy keelboat, learning about the sails and how the jib and mainsail
effect steerage. They learn how the boat is most effectively sailed with appropriate balance of sail pressure and
heel, going upwind as well as downwind. The concept of weather helm is discussed, along with feathering and
main control. Instructors teach about the functions of diffemet parts on the boat like jib leads, telltales,
Cunningham, outhaul, boomvang - and overall sail shape. They teach the rules of the road and how best to
approach other traffic on the bay. Departing from the dock and into traffic and returning safely to the dock - in a
heavy boat that can't simply be back -winded - are also critical components to the curriculum. Also, the
spinnaker is introduced, teaching students how to manage a third sail safely.
Typically, on any body of water, you can rely upon the sailors to be the safest demographic of boater. Why is
that? Sailing is a cerebral sport. You can't just move a throttle to make the boat speed, but you must have
actual knowledge of scientific and mathematical facts to have a successful sail. Thus, by producing educated
and competent sailors, the City is producing more boaters who will be responsible on the water.

the on -water skill evaluation and written test. So instructors, again,
are asking themselves, "Would I let this student use my personal
boat to go sailing alone?" Instructors will be looking for the
following skills on the water: rigging and de -rigging excellence,
complete understanding of each piece of equipment on the boat
and its purpose, knowledge of all the lines on the boat, proper sail
trim, ability to sail in breeze by feathering and appropriate sail trim
to heeling angle, thorough understanding of rules of the road,
ability to perform rescue within three boat lengths and 30 seconds,
safe approach to leaving and returning to the dock, all boating
safety material covered in the class and overall sense of
competence and confidence on the water.

Exhibit A
Description: This 4 -session advanced class is ideal for competent keelboat sailors interested in learning
advanced boat handling, crew work, spinnaker use, sail trim and shape, taking and gybing on our J/22
keelboats.
The Keelboat 2 class is the most advanced class that the City offers. Students either come to this class as
experienced sailors or they work their way through the City sailing classes to achieve their goal. This class
builds upon all the skills and knowledge students have learned previously, really honing much more qualified
boaters. Instructors delve much more deeply into specific techniques and philosophies, teaching more
advanced concepts of reading the wind, speed and control of the boat, and overall safe boat handling. Weather
permitting, these students venture into the ocean for lessons on outside conditions, how to sail in waves,
emergency options, communication and safety offshore. Spinnaker use is focused upon, building upon
experience flying the chute and foredeck work. Students are taught how to safely and courteously navigate a
bay that might be crowded, especially when using a spinnaker.
The overall goal of this class is to create independent sailors whom we would trust taking out our own personal
boats.

If this is an intermediate or advanced course, how does it build on the skills learned in previous, less advanced
courses in the series, and how does this course improve boating safety?
Description: This 1 -day class is perfect for any adult who wants to explore sailing with their child in a relaxed
and safe environment. Learn the basics of sailing on either a 14' dinghy or 22' keelboat, accompanied by an
instructor who will guide you through safe sailing in Newport Harbor.
Although the students in this class do not proceed on to anther class, it is a great class for conveying boating
safety information. It is an introductory class, and an opportunity for parents to learn to sail with their children
or to share their love of the sport with their kids. Each boat that goes out has an instructor on board, so there is
constant communication about boating safety tips. Instructors allow the students to do the work in the boat.
They are tasked with driving and working the sheets, learning the entire time about sailing, the bay, our
environment, our sea creatures, our birds, right of way, other boats, steering and understanding the overall
dynamics of sailing. And all of the teaching is disguised by the fun of being on the water! The instructors teach
to the level of the children, so that they can understand, but provide more advanced information to the parents,
so that they leave the class having learned a lot as well.

If you selected 11 B, 1-4, describe the test Our youth camps are our most popular class, with hundreds of
or skills evaluation children registering during the summer. These camps run five
days a week, and children are taught all the basics of boating
safety. They know that they don't go on the water or even on the
docks without wearing a properly fitted lifejacket. It becomes
second nature, and they leave class just knowing that's the way it's
supposed to be for everyone. They become good influencers for
adults.
While there has been no official evaluation in this class, the
campers do get a certificate of completion at the end of camp,
signed by the instructors. Moving forward, as with all our other
classes, we will start an official testing system. Clearly the
instructors are constantly assessing their campers' ability in order
to best group them in the types of activities, based on their ability.

Exhibit A
Description: This week-long summer camp is the perfect introduction for any children looking to learn how to
sail in beautiful Newport Harbor. Campers will learn to sail in a variety of different sailboats, including 8' Sabots,
14' RS Quests, and 22' J22s. Instructors will work with campers to develop safe sailing skills and confidence,
with the ultimate goal to have campers sailing comfortably on their own. Campers will also explore Newport
Harbor in kayaks and stand-up paddleboards, weather permitting.
These camps are very popular during summer, as well as our after school sailing classes (6-7 week -sessions,
by quarter) throughout the year. The summer camps are week-long camps, morning or afternoon, with a team
of instructors who teach boating safety through fun to 6 -16 -year-olds.
Campers are taught according to their individual level of boating knowledge - from the beginning to the more
advanced, returning camper. Campers learn sailing fundamentals, boating safety and how to paddleboard and
kayak safely. Most importantly, students are taught respect for the water and other boaters, the basics of
boating safety, how to navigate Newport Harbor, wind and current directions, rules of the road, and the
importance of lifejackets. The City has coached students from all over the world, not just locals, although we
have plenty of those. Students come from Saudi Arabia, China, Spain, France - and many of them return from
year to year.
We let our campers come up with their list of rules at the beginning of camp and, invariably, they all decide
upon "safety" as the number one rule, closely followed by "fun." Under safety, the children come up with
wearing lifejackets, listening to instructors, respecting the environment including the sea creatures, always
being aware of surrounding boats, keeping clear of other boats but waving in a friendly manner, being aware of
weather and current conditions, and always wearing proper sailing gear.
Games are played that teach water and boating safety. Our swim assessment is not called that but, instead we
create a relay race, so that kids on their first day of class aren't terrified of a swim assessment. Instead, we
have a fun swim relay race, in lifejackets of course, out to instructors who are standing by in kayaks. Because
it's a game, the students don't realize they're being assessed for their individual water safety, but instructors are
watching closely and quickly determine which students might not be equally as comfortable or capable in the
water. We don't push any campers who are timid, but let them ease into the water at their own speed. Later in
the camp, one of the most popular learning exercises is the flip test. We have a safety boat standing by, only
place a couple of children at a time in a Quest, position the Quest in the lee of a remote area away from traffic,
and slowly the instructor rolls the boat over. Children are seated on the leeward side and gently "slip" into the
water, while the coach climbs over the dry side to the centerboard and rights the boat. This exercise is the
most popular thing by the end of camp, with children, sometimes the most timid, knowing precisely what to do
in the event a sailboat capsizes.
In the first few days of camp, we do not automatically put children in sabots alone without an instructor. Our
philosophy is that it can be overwhelming, even for adults, to learn alone, let alone a child. We believe that's
why so many children wind up leaving sailing - because of frustration and fear. They're shoved off the dock,
alone and without the proper knowledge, get stuck in irons, get hit in the head with the boom, and then never
want to venture out again. So our students learn to sail in a boat with an instructor. As they become
comfortable and qualified, they are rewarded with getting to sail in a sabot alone - which becomes a huge
motivator to learning and is viewed as the ultimate reward in camp. And by planting that desire in the children
to sail indepedently, we have succeeded in creating sailors who have been trained in all aspects of boating
safety and who will continue their adventure (and positively influence others) on the water.

Bid/Proposal Attachment regarding the Darfur Contracting Act of 2008
Effective January 1, 2009, all Invitations for Bids (IFB) or Requests for Proposals (RFP) for goods or
services must address the requirements of the Darfur Contracting Act of 2008 (Act). (Public Contract
Code sections 10475, et seq.; Stats. 2008, Ch. 272). The Act was passed by the California
Legislature and signed into law by the Governor to preclude State agencies generally from contracting
with "scrutinized" companies that do business in the African nation of Sudan (of which the Darfur
region is a part), for the reasons described in Public Contract Code section 10475.
A scrutinized company is a company doing business in Sudan as defined in Public Contract Code
section 10476. Scrutinized companies are ineligible to, and cannot, bid on or submit a proposal for a
contract with a State agency for goods or services. (Public Contract Code section 10477(a)).
Therefore, Public Contract Code section 10478 (a) requires a company that currently has (or within
the previous three years has had) business activities or other operations outside of the United States
to certify that it is not a "scrutinized" company when it submits a bid or proposal to a State agency.
(See # 1 on the sample Attachment).
A scrutinized company may still, however, submit a bid or proposal for a contract with a State agency
for goods or services if the company first obtains permission from the Department of General Services
(DGS) according to the criteria set forth in Public Contract Code section 10477(b). (See # 2 on the
sample Attachment).
The following sample Attachment may be included in an IFB or RFP to satisfy the Act's certification
requirements of bidders and proposers.
Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 10478, if a bidder or proposer currently or within the
previous three years has had business activities or other operations outside of the United States, it
must certify that it is not a "scrutinized" company as defined in Public Contract Code section 10476.
Therefore, to be eligible to submit a bid or proposal, please complete only one of the following
three paragraphs (via initials for Paragraph # 1 or Paragraph # 2, or via initials and certification
for Paragraph # 3):
We do not currently have, or we have not had within the previous three years, business
activities or other operations outside of the United States.
OR
2. We are a scrutinized company as defined in Public Contract Code section 10476, but we
have received written permission from the Department of General Services (DGS) to submit
a bid or proposal pursuant to Public Contract Code section 10477(b). A copy of the written
permission from DGS is included with our bid or proposal.
OR
3. We currently have, or we have had within the previous three years, business activities or
other operations outside of the United States, but we certify below that we are not a
