Dear Mr. Whitley:
I am writing to appeal your decision about the two liquid amber trees
in the parkway in front of our house, that we would like to have removed.
There is one directly in front of our house. The roots of it are causing
problems with our sewer, lifting up the sidewalk and causing people to trip ,
and ruining our yard and rose and flower beds.
There is another one between the driveway apron of our house and the next
house at 815 Bellis St. The roots of this one are cracking our driveway, and
lifting the sidewalk, and thus disrupting the way the water is supposed to
drain away from the front of our house.
P1 -ease note the sequence of calls concerning these trees:
7/9/86 reported lifting of sidewalk to Mr. Brooks
7/23/86 Temporary blacktop applied. (This is now worse than the
original lifting up of the sidewalk.
10/27/86 Left message for Mr. -Brooks about trees

11/21/86 Roots of one tree cut. Sprinkler line also cut in 2 places.
11/24/86 Reported sprinkler line broken to Parks Dept.
11/26/86 Sprinkler line repaired by Scott.
2/18/87 Talked with Mr. Brooks again about removing trees. He says it
must be presented to the 3 member tree committee.
2/18/87 Called Councilman Turner. lie will talk with Mr. Ron Whitley
and call me back.
2/24/87 Received letter from Mr. Turner.
3/18/87 City crew pruned trees.
3/18/87 Again calle Mr. Brooks. He says Tree Committee, chaired
by Virginia Herberts. must come to look at trees.
I simply cannot believe this situation. I do not dislike trees, but these
two trees are going to cause us some expensive repairs. Is the city going to
pay to replace our driveway, and re -do our drainage? Shall I send our Ro.to-
Rooter bills to the ,city?

Newport Heights Community Association
May 5, 1987
The Board of Directors of the Newport Heights Community
Association wish to call attention to the property located at
cxc 19 Cliff Drive, Lot number 919, in the middle of the Cliff
Drive Park. We are aware that this property is currently for
sale, consisting of 24,000 square feet, zoned R -1 on the Cliff
Drive portion and R -3 on the lower elevation immediately behind
commercially zoned property. These properties are: The Stuffed
Noodle Restaurant and the Riverside Avenue Post Office. (Please
see map enclosure) It is our request that the City purchase
this property at fair market value and raise the existing
structure.
We have been informed by our council representative,
Councilwoman Evelyn Hart, that this property has been considered
previously by the City of Newport Beach for acquisition, and
that other properties of equal value to the city took precedent.
On behalf of the Newport Heights, Community Association, we wish
to request that the City Council once again consider the
acquisition of this choice parcel of land located right in the
middle of a beautiful scenic park, on a designated scenic drive
and a famous landmark viewing area for all the citizens of
Newport Beach and Orange County.
In addition to connecting the two areas of the park, we
forsee other opportunities for community access. Suggested
usages for the property are as follows:
A. A city arboretum for the enjoyment of native plant and
bird life.
B. A designated area for wedding ceremonies which are
currently taking place in our city park with or
without city approval.
We request your urgent attention to our appeal as delay in
the purchase of such valuable Newport Beach property will only
result in continued rise in property values. Your response by
phone or letter within ten days to Board Member Gail Demmer
would be greatly appreciated.
Respectfully,
Marian Rayl

DATE: _May 5, 1987
TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO COUNCIL POLICY I -9
ADDING TREES TO PRESERVATION LIST
Recommendation:
Add to list of Preservation of Special Trees in the Neighborhood Trees
category the two Eucalyptus Cladocalyx located in the parkway on Lindo
Street and the Bay Front.
Discussion:
These two trees have significant stately beauty and should be placed on
the protected list. As they are located in a street end area, to preserve
them and possibly abandoning the street end and turning. it into a landscaped
area is a desirable alternative.
The property owners wish to retain the natural resources and every effort
should be made to retain the natural resources.

RETENTION OR REMOVAL OF PARK AND PARKWAY TREES
It shall be the responsibility of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation
Commission to develop and maintain a rather restricted list of trees
in the community which should be retained to the exclusion of all
normal problems. This list will contain landmark trees, special trees
of extreme beauty, stately trees which contribute to an entire neigh-
borhood, dedicated trees, etc. These trees will be identified, mapped
and recorded. Subsequent to this they will be given all types of
special treatment to retain them, including the use of asphalt sidewalks,
realigned curbing, etc.
Whenever it is necessary to prune tree roots in parkways or other
public areas in order to correct or prevent damage being caused by the
subject'tree, every reasonable effort shall be made.to save.the tree,
including the use of high grade asphalt sidewalk sections. It will
still be necessary to meet the City's standards relative to grades
and alignments, with the exception of those special trees discussed
in Paragraph 1 of this policy statement,
If it is necessary for a tree other than that included in Paragraph 1
to be given special treatment, eachl�r4e shall be considered individ-
ually on its own merits to determine whether the tree should be retained
or replaced. All parkway trees included in',this category must be.sub-
jected to and meet the following criteria:
i
f:X
1. Have sufficient root system to sustain life and:
remain in a safe condition after root pruning;
2. Have sufficient life expectancy to merit special
consideration;
3. Have adjacent property owners be desirous of retaining
tree in light of "patchy sidewalk effect" that would
be created next to their homes if asphalt sidewalk
is to be used to save the tree;,.
4. Not be of an undesirable species that has been removed
from the official street tree list by the Parks, Beaches
& Recreation Commission;
5. Not have had a consistent history of damaging utilities
such as sewers, water mains, etc.;
6. Not interfere with acceptable drainage if alternate
methods of curb repair are utilized.

RETENTION OR REMOVAL OF PARK AND PARKWAY TREES -- Page 2
Application of the criteria on parkway trees will be conducted by
the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department in coordination with
the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission. In applying the
criteria, other departments of the City will be consulted as
necessary. If there is any conflict between the application of
the criteria and established standards of the City which cannot
be resolved at staff and,Commission level, final resolution will
be determined by the City Council.
The Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission is required to
establish a standing Street Tree Committee to assist the
Commission in developing a community awareness program and
provide input to the total street tree program. Objectives of
this Street Tree Committee will be:
1. To obtain representation for each situation as it
arises in a community and /or neighborhood.
2. To develop innovative techniques that will enable traes,11
to be saved when concrete is removed and replaced.
3. To provide recommendations to the Parks, Beaches and
Recreation Commission when tree removal requests are
received.
4. To inform the public and further the philosophy of the
value of trees in a community.
5. To pursue procedures whereby larger replacement trees
can be used when trees are removed.
6. To assure that no community has a mass removal effect
as projects occur.
7. Annually review landmark tree locations for inclusion
in Council Policy I -9.
When a tree is removed from the parkway for the sole benefit of
the adjacent property owner, the property owner will be
responsible for the cost of removal. Removal must still be done
in accordance with City approvals.

FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director

Recommendation:
Approve the request of The Irvine Company to construct a directional sign for
"The Terraces" on the dedicated park property adjacent to the north wing of
Oasis Senior Center subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant agrees to indemnify and hold the City, its authorized
agents, officers, representatives and employees harmless from all
liabilities, suits or actions of every description arising out of any
accident, loss, or damage to persons or property occurring as a

2. All work shall be done in accordance with the approved plans and
standard specifications of the City of Newport Beach and in compli-
•, ante with all applicable State laws and City ordinances.

signs placed in close proximity to residential developments. 'The review and
approval process for placing a sign on dedicated park property requires both
Commission and City Council action. Staff will also review the request with the
Friends of Oasis Executive Board on May 7. The result of the Commission's action
will be transmitted to the City Council for their consideration.

CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department
DATE: April 27, 1987
TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: Recreation Superintendent
SUBJECT: Liability Insurance Requirements for
Special Events and Facility Use
Recommendation:
Approve the following policy which will direct staff in determining Liability
Insurance Requirements for Special Events and Facility Use:
1. Require all community organizations which utilize City facilities to
conduct Special Events or continuous' recreational activities to provide
specific insurance policies as determined by the Parks, Beaches and
Recreation Director after consulting with the Safety and Insurance
Administrator.
2. Provide assistance to community organizations and special event sponsors
in acquiring a policy to meet insurance requirements if the organization
or event is co- sponsored by the City.
Background:
At the March 3 Commi -ssion meeting, staff provided 'a Review of Liability Insur-
ance Requirements which indicated some apparent inconsistencies. Specific
community ' organizati -ons were required -to- provide aggregate 1 nsurance of $1,000,000
while others were not required to provide insurance at all. The Commission re-
ferred the review to the Recreation Programs Subcommittee for further study and
requested Special Events to be analyzed in conjunction with facility use.
The Subcommittee's review attempted to define the degree of ,risk exposure by
analyzing each activity. Utilizing methods which define potential injury, amount
of participation, ease of prevention and duration, the Subcommittee analyzed
twenty one separate activities ranging from meeting rooms to youth sports.
Following the Subcommittee's review, Department staff shared the process with the
City's Safety and Insurance Administrator and Insurance'Consultant. All parties
agreed that the Commission's action represented a positive step in fairly and
equitably analyzing comparitive risk. The recommended policies establish a
process which recognizes the difference between active and passive recreation
programs, thereby establishing the required minimum insurance for activities
based solely on risk analysis. The pol,i.cy also provides a procedure for
acquiring insurance based on the City's sponsorship. Such activity /event
sponsorship, if it does not currently exist,, would be automatically reviewed
by the Recreation Program Subcommittee and the Commission as a new activity.
��
-2-
Pending Commission action on the Subcommittee's recommendations, staff will
begin a complete review of insurance requirements in cooperation with the
Safety and Insurance Administrator.

DATE: April 27, 1987
TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: Recreation Superintendent
SUBJECT: Distribution of Adult Sports Standings
Recommendation:
Authorize staff to transmit to the City Council an Agreement to authorize
the distribution of Adult Sports Standings on stationery provided by Sargent
Pepperoni's Pizza to team managers in exchange for a donation by the
restaurant of $500.00 to offset awards costs.
Background:
Recently the Department was contacted by Dave Patterson, President and Owner
of Sargent Pepperoni's Pizza, regarding advertising to adult sports teams of
the restaurant located on Bristol Street.between Campus and Jamboree in
Santa Ana Heights. In discussing alternatives, Department staff and'Mr.
Patterson agreed that use-of restaurant letterhead for printing weekly standings
of adult sports teams would be a significant in -kind contribution. 'Department
staff will distribute the standings at regularly scheduled league games for
adult teams competing-in softball and basketba1,1. In addition to providing
stationery, the restaurant will provide a $500.00 donation to offset sports
awards costs.
The use of advertising in connection with self- supporting recreation program
costs is not without precedence. The Department's four seasonal brochures and
two annual Runs are enhanced by advertising. The selection of Sargent Pepperoni's
Pizza for this purpose is convenient for most teams since competition is
scheduled fairly closeto the restaurant's location.
The attachment is a reduced photocopy of the legal size paper on which the
standings will be printed. Mr. Patterson will be present at'the,May 5 meeting
to answer any questions.

Re: The Newport Theatre Arts Center
Dear Mark:
The Friends of the Newport Theatre Arts Center elected a
new Board of Directros at their annual meeting on April 5, 1987.
The new Board will take office at the next regular Board meet-
ing which will be held on April 15; 1987.
On behalf of the outgoing Board, I would like to extend
our appreciation to the City of_NeWport Beach, the-Parks,
Beaches and Recreation Commission, and all of your -staff for
the support given the theatre these past two years.
Over that period of time, the theatre -has seen tremendous
progress, both technically and artistically. Your staff helped
us purchase some much needed lighting equipment, the lower level
inside was painted and upgraded, the landscaping, interior and
exterior maintenance has been'top drawer, -and, the major item
in my time, you - provided air conditioning. Your staff has
always been courteous and eager to help with the day -to -day
operation and maintenance of the facilities -.
During this same period, the Board of Directors was -not
sitting idly by. We raised over $10,00 "0 from patrons to purchase
the new seats. We also purchased an Apple IIe computer that has
been integrated into the lighting system. We also- upgraded Room
2 (the scene shop) and built shelves and hangers for costume
storage -. The lower outside patio area has been cleaned up and
rules established by our staff to keep it that Way.

Artistically, I think the City can be proud of the quality
and consistency of the entertainment being delivered to the
community. Several couples, have mentioned to myself and other
Board members the fact that they no longer renew their season
tickets to the Long Beach Civic Light Opera or to South Coast
Repertory oi: the Music Center because they like what they see
at ,NTAC better. It may sound like I'm tooting the horn on
behalf of the theatre, well, I am.- Just look at the record.
In 1985, our original production "The White Arrow ", was acclai-
med as the No. 1 Community Theatre production in the County.
In 1986, the musical "The Mikado ", was ranked No. 2, and, "The
Octette Bridge Club ", directed by Newport Beach resident, Joan
Mcillis, No. 3. Marcie Ross was honored as Best Actress for
the year for her role in "The Octette Bridge Club ". Now you
cannot do much better than that. We think it is a record the
City and NTAC can be justly proud of.
• It could not have happened without the support given by
the .city and your staff. It is a partnership that is working
well and I am sure the new Board will continue in this cooper-
ative spirit.
Very truly yours,

Oasis. senior. center offers support
sessions for `care - giving' adu is
By Roberta Landman
The Register,
tnally, you've reached the point where your chil-
dren are adults. But no sooner have you taken a
self- satisfied breath of relief before you're past-back
into the parental role over your own sick and helpless
parents.
Recognizing that growing numbers of senior citi-
zens find themselves caring for their parents, spouses
or older relatives, the Visiting Nurses Association has
begun a support group for senior "care givers" of
older adults.
The free- talk sessions provide information on
home - health and other care - giving resources, the
association's Julie Schoen said. And they area com-
fortable place where these 24- hour -a -day care givers
can talk out their frustrations, she said.
In cooperation with City bf Newport Beach Senior
Services, the association's support sessions meet in
the city's Oasis Senior Center on the first and third
'Tuesday of each month. The group sessions, con-
ducted by trained social workers, are answering a
need long felt at the center, Oasis staff member
Roseann Bora said.
Countless times Bora has received desperate pleas
for help;;
"They are 60 or 70 and have a 90- year -old mother
and don't know what to do."
"Their own health is deteriorating from the 24
hours a day they have to give, ... and they have no
chance for relief or respite," Oasis senior services
coordinator Mary Allen said.
Even availing themselves of respite in the support
group - becomes a big problem for care givers, Bora
said. Some help has come from association volun-
teers who fill in for them during the meetings, she .
said.
Social worker Rosemarie Pollack, who leads sup-
port sessions, acknowledges the critical need for re-
spite. ,
"They get no time out. They are terribly isolated
and stressed. People avoid them, and they are too
busy to be part of the outside world."
The effect is "depression and physical and emo-
tional burnout," Pollack said.
The support group gives them the opportunity to
talk to others who experience:such- burnout "at gut
level," Pollack said.
Gut level is where John Wickle agrees he is feeling
the panic and guilt that seem to go with caring for
parents. He has attended the association's initial sup-
port -group sessions.
Although his parents are not in the home, he feels
as stressed as if they were.
The semiretired man is the father of three grown
children who are either in graduate school or living
on their own..He said he wasn't prepared for a sud-
den family crisis.
Aided by a live-in housekeeper, Wickle's.father, 90,
and his mother, 85, were managing to live indepen-
dently in their own home until his father suffered a
stroke.
When- post - hospital treatment indicated a nursing
facility was needed, Wickle placedhis father in a
Newport Beach convalescent center, thinking his
mother would move nearby,
"That's the problem," Wickle said. "She won't

and a father who constantly asks his son to let him go
home to his wife have left Wickle feeling guilt- ridden,
Wickle said. "(And) needing to be convinced you are
doing the right thing."
Wickle said he has been able to rid himself of some.
feelings of hopelessness and self- abasement since at-
tending lectures. '
Relief came from listening to other people.
"And telling my story ... at a place where you can
go and let it all hang out," Wickle said.
On a practical, level, Wickle said a.lecture by
clergywoman Arleen Whitney gave him guidelines he
was seeking.
Whitney, associate pastor of the Geneva Presby-
terian Church in Laguna Beach, said support groups
for. care givers of older adults become a link with
community resources and facilities. They are a
source for what's out there in home health -care agen-
cies, hospice groups, Alzheimer's and other'adult
day -care and retirement home centers, she said.
On an emotional, level, Whitney said the support -
group atmosphere serves as a forum to vent and un-
derstand feelings of guilt and their own fears of being
in their parents' position some day.
The support group is a place where a senior - citizen
child of an aged parent can feel free to ask, "If I
don't bring Mom home, am I a bad child ?" Whitney
said. ' •
Fern Pirkle has felt the guilt of that "bad child."
She was faced with how and where to care for her ill
and aged mother after hospital and post - hospital care
was completed.
"I was left wondering what kind of help I could get
for her in my own home," Pirkle said. "At my wits'
end for many months," Pirkle said she experienced
fear, guilt feelings, bewilderment and a sense of iso-
lation when she finally did bring her mother home.
After consulting with half a dozen agencies, Pirkle
said she hired help from a home health -care service.
The•care was generally good, she said, but turnover
was unexpectedly high.
"It was expensive, about $3,000 a month," she said.
Though Pitkle'said she worked during the day, she
felt as if caring for her mother was still a 24- hour -a-
day job. Even at night, she said site wondered, if her
mother would have another heart attack.
Another heart attack took the decision out of her
hands, Pirkle said, and she eventually had, to place
her mother in a nursing home.
Having her mother in a nursing facility has,not
eased Pirkle's emotional pain. "Every time I go (to
visit) it's 'I want to go home.' There are guilt feelings
every single time I go," she said'.
The support group has given Pirkle a place where'
she can express her guilt feelings with others who are
feeling the same way, she said.
The support group's social worker professionals
have suggestions, other options, Pirkle said. They tell
you it's not all your burden.
"They tell you you have to take care of
yourself ... that you have to go on. You can't let your-
self get devastated ... you need to have that con-
firmed," Pirkle said.
The support group and its respite volunteers are as-
pects of services to the elderly provided for in a
$98,000 Older Americans Act grant allocated by the
Orange County Board of Supervisors, Schoen said.
The one - time -only grant runs out in June, she said.
"We are working to keep the funding going, looking
for otlt`er support in fundraising and grant writing,"
Schoen said.
The Caregiver of Older Adults support group meets
from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in the Oasis Senior Center, 800

The Register, -
A'grodp of Newport Beach senior citizens is,hay.
ing'more fun walking than rocking.
Nearly y$people from the eity.'s Oasis Semor Citi-
zen Center are participating in, Saturday's 17th
March of Dimes Walkathon fn Huntington Beach.
It's'the biggest contingent. ever from the center,
thanks in part to the enthusiastic work of program
coordinator Roseann Bom. -
"We really wail to support the kids that are i is.
'bled," Bora said.
Bara, who has been with the city's Parks, Beaches
and Recreation Depm•tptent for three years, has
encouraged the seniors to walk while raising money
to fight birth defects.

"The group is really excited about it," Barn said:
"We're "going to,make this an.anaual event."
Bora•also•has solicited the snppm•t of local busi-
nesses. Western Federal Savings and Loan Associa-
tion in Newport Beach has dunned -$50, and the
Family Health Plan contributed T- shirts and visors.
The Oasis Center's goal is in collect $1,000 to help
the March of Dimes. Most walkers are asking for a
flat donation instead of one lied to distance covered
in the walk, Boma said. - ,
Many of the walkers are from the center's Friday
morning walking class, Each, week (except the
month's first Frldqy; which is reserved for the gen•
eral membership meeting); the class meets for. a 3.
to 9 -mile walk, usually along the coast.
Daily Reid, a relired'schooilteacher who has lived'
in Newport Beach for 59 years, is the leader of these
hoofers. She divides her class into two groups: the
fast and not•so; fast•' . , •_,- ;
Lately, Reid'has been in the second'group. She
damaged her knee on a hike in Tahiti and is confined
to a wheelchair for the next couple of weeks.
But don't expect her to sit out the March of Dimes
Walkathon. She'll start out with the Oasis group and
see how much of the 32- kilometer (20 -mile) course
she can coyer., ., r„
Reid is a former teacher of disabled students in
the Huntington Beach schools, and she's aware of
the attention and money these children need.
