PARKS, BEACHES AND RECREATION COMMISSION April 27, 1982 TO: PARKS, BEACHES AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director SUBJECT: SAN MIGUEL PARK PRELIMINARY PLANS AND BUDGET The staff has met with the Landscape Architect, Lang and Wood, on the subject design project. If you will recall, the Commission had an opportunity to review the Master Plan a few weeks ago-.and.made suggestions toward the design process. When staff reviewed the preliminary plans and accordingly the budget estimate, it was apparent that sufficient funds were not available to build as proposed. With this in mind a number of eliminating techniques were used to bring the project within our fiscal capabilities. At your meeting of May 4, 1982, you will be able to review and recommend . development concepts a final time. The architect will provide written • material at the meeting. In addition, the seven community or homeowner associations in the area of the park have been invited to provide their input. If there are any questions please feel free to give me a call.

Whitley RAW: ma. • n LJ CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH PARKS, BEACHES AND RECREATION COMMISSION April 28, 1982 TO: PARKS, BEACHES AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: Park Superintendent SUBJECT: PARK AND TREE CREWS ACTIVITY REPORT The month of April has been a very busy month for our crews. Spring growth of weeds, shrubs, and turf has kept the park crews very busy with no end in sight for them. They removed a partition and installed carpet at 1714 Balboa Blvd.. when it was too wet to work in the parks. We planted a large area of grass at the resevoir for the Water Department. Also, they in- stalled bol "lards on the Goldenrod Footbridge and at the Westcliff Groves bike trail. The park and tree crews both spent alot of time at the City Yard so the contractor could start work. The foremen are now vaorking out of • a temporary office in a trailer. We salvaged two palm trees from the Yard; one was planted at West Newport Park and the other in the Balboa Pier parking lot. Our tree crews completed 15 work requests and "planted 5 trees. We removed 57 trees this month; 50 of them came out because of extensive damage to concrete on Domingo Drive and Amigos Way. We will be replanting 43 of the trees, using Austrailian Willows. Our tree crews managed to trim 1,042 trees along with all the other work they performed. They have now completed Spyglass Hills and are working in Corona del Mar.
