Their approach was to change as little as possible and keep the model oriented towards the same design as the present youth center. Mr. Tarayao explained the locations of the baseball field, picnic area, park; tot lot areas and the parking lot, the latter of which will be located at the present Community Youth Center site. The beams around the building and the masonry walls are both cost saving features. The staff office will have both visua and physical contact with the rooms and tot lot areas. Ther will be a small kitchen and the men's and women's restrooms will have both interior and exterior access. The 550 square foot structure will be low in scale with a 20' height which is in keeping with most of the units in old Corona del Mar. The picnic area will be'retained and the hard ball court will be resurfaced with lighting. Mr. Tarayao explained the utilization of the existing grades, water drainage, handicap ramp, metal roof line, cooling elements, flooring, • room partitioning, etc. After Mr. Tarayao answered questions from the Commission, Mr. Whitley explained the fee schedule and reported there undoubtedly will always be a group using the multi - purpose room which will accommodate about 30 people. This is the focal point of the entire facility and, due to the community s interest in activities, other activities can be programmed at the same time. Mr. Whitley explained that this facility will be designed as a major recreation facility for the Corona del Mar area. Although emphasis will be on total recreation, it will have other functions for teen and youth activities in addition to serving the entire community. Discussion followed concerning adopting a policy to the effect that although this is a youth oriented facility, other activities are also encouraged. Mr. Whitley suggested staff research and report back recommending an operations policy. The Commission also discussed names for the facility which will again be discussed at a later date.

The project is in the proposal and presentation stage with an undeter- mined location. We feel an economic analysis would prove very valuable at this point in time. Many of the details have been carefully considered. With the help of an expert analysis, a • convenient and appropriate location could be determined, as well as necessary size and operating cost factors. It is our under - standing that a pFofessional study of this nature usually costs around $20,000. This sort of assistance from the Commission could help us avoid expensive and time consuming future errors. We appreciate your consideration in this matter. Kindly inform us of the Commission's decision as soon as possible. Respectfully,- 'Bonnie B. Lgstrom Parental Steering Committee for a Youth '.acility • n U Item No. 8 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department DATE: March 25, 1986 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Recreation Superintendent SUBJECT: California and Pacific Southwest Recreation and Park Conference As a means of providing the Commission with an overview of the California and Pacific Southwest Recreation and Park Conference, the Recreation Division has compiled a description of workshops and educational sessions attended by four staff members who participated as delegates. The 38th Annual Conference, held in Fresno on March 6 -9, exposed staff to new ideas and information highlighting programs, motivation, marketing, revenue and management. In addition to providing the Commission with an overview, the Conference Summary will also serve as a training document and catalog of current events in the Parks and Recreation field. 1986 CALIFORNIA AND PACIFIC SOUTHWEST RECREATION AND PARK CONFERENCE SUMMARY Pre - Conference Institutes The Management Institute The all day institute focused on leadership styles and how they affect inter- personal relationships which, in turn, affect productivity and the accomplishment of goals and objectives. The institute was directed at management staff and required participants to complete a Motivational Profile Index as a means of determining the management style most likely used. 101 Tips to Turn a Profit on Classes As heavily dependent as the City of Newport Beach is on serf- supporting recreation programs,, this institute should prove invaluable. The workshop's focus included kinds of classes, record keeping, marketing and brochure design. The institute was conducted by the Learning Resource Network, Inc., a consultant group to recreation agencies and community college districts across the nation. Educational Sessions • Business Finance Trends in Private /Public Recreation Ventures The session described current economic conditions which favor risk taking and I focused on some creative examples. Illustrated as case studies were projects including theme parks, R.V. concessions., major event sponsorships and fairs. -2- Park development trends may be financed publicly through redevelopment projects • or privately by building developers who are required to include parks in their project proposals. Most new park development should include facilities capable of continuous revenue generation. Identifying Opportunities for Earning and Raising Money • 0 3 The session was conducted by the Development Officer from the City of Sacramento who has successfully raised funds for arts projects with little or no tax support. Sacramento's approach has included corporate donations, a "gifts catalog" and merchandising products, including the nationally recognized Camelia Poster. The key element in the City's revenue generation strategy is an aggressive marketing approach which can be altered depending upon the audience (corporate sponsor or private citizen). Beyond the Paycheck: Incentives, Parks, Acts of the Heart The session dealt with monetary and non - monetary incentives used by public agencies to motivate their employees. The speakers had a few eye opening ideas. The City of Anaheim is providing employees with interest free loans to purchase an IBM or compatible computer.. They are hoping that this incentive will encourage their employees to acclimate themselves to the City's sytem faster. The City of Laguna Beach has a proposal for approval by the City Council to provide low interest loans to their employees. They hope that this incentive will have employees make their residences in the City. The City of San Francisco offered excursions to Hawaii to those employees who met high standards set by Department Heads. Thinking /Creativity /Attitude The session reviewed why we approach things the way Assistant Professor at California State University we must break to think creatively. The younger we The session was very motivational and left one with Women as Winners on the Management Team we do. Dr. Larry Prochazka, in Northridge, spoke of barriers are, the more creative we become. a positive attitude. The session provided a panel discussion and forum on how women can move ahead without getting discouraged. Five women managers from municipal parks and recreation agencies described strategies which may be employed to confront barriers and improve job skills which may lead to becoming better managers. Cooperation is Good Business Co- sponsorship of major community events is becoming a necessity for both public agencies and private merchants. The session focused on common objectives and benefits which promote cooperation between two otherwise different organizations. Such cooperation is being employed in Newport Beach through such events as the Back Bay IOK, Scenic 5K, Lido Village Christmas Event and the Easter Egg Hunt. Polishing Your Agency's Image Conducted by the President of the National Recreation and Park Association, the session stressed the importance of an agency's image in the community.

Helen has been in touch with Ron Whitley and other PB &R staff. Yesterday she told me that she and Danny Iwata had worked it out for the Library to have _programs fo n-oil- • dren- in__the Mariner's multi - purpose room Tuesday mornings this summer. This is great news. Danny will'-meet-with Frank Eastman, t e MF — ariner''s Branch supervisor, to set it up. 1 We do have a further request, namely, that the aerobic dance classes be scheduled at another location. The noise these classes generate is not compatible with a library, and our patrons complain. If these particular classes could be scheduled elsewhere, it would be appreciated. A possibility for the future is joint sponsorship of an ongoing family film program. Helen is also discussing with PB &R staff having library programs listed in your brochure. It seems reasonable that all City programs available to Newport Beach residents ,be included. I don't know if you are aware of the many problems at Mariners: leaky roof, ceiling tiles down, termites (two kinds) in the floor and in supports below the roof. There is quite a list. Helen is working with other City Departments to determine necessary repairs. We know the building will be re- roofed. Helen has told Ron the entire building must be tented in order to treat for termites. She will keep him informed of the dates of repair activities so PB &R can plan accordingly.
