ACTION _*ITEMS Item #5 - Inspiration Point Project Inspiration Point Director Whitley reported this Commission had reviewed in Project depth the concept and design competition for the Inspiration Point project. Cunningham Design, Inc. was selected as the consultant and is present to present their model, plans • and specifications for the Commission's final approval of both the project and funding before it goes to the City Council. Deborah Polanski, Chair of the Arts Commission, addressed the Commission. 'She reported the Arts Commission has approved the project which is within the budget. The project as designed addresses concerns such as safety and erosion. Mr. David Black of Cunningham Design, Inc. addressed the Commission. He invited the Commissioners to review the model and explained'its various elements such as the redesig of the existing beach access and mid - lookout area. He noted that a geological study was done and that they worked with a civil engineer to develop a design that would meet the functional requirements in addition to providing health and safety to participants.

Chair Brenner reported a presentation was made by the Swim del Mar High for the Go1*d,Committee at the Commission's March 1 meeting. School Director Whitley pointed out that at that time no specific request was made for funds, nor was there a formalized guide- line for the project. This has now been done and staff supports this worthy project. However, from a funding standpoint, the capital improvement project process is now in preliminary budget. If the project is funded out of available funds, it would severely impact proposed projects some of which would have to be eliminated.. Chair Brenner opened -the meeting to public testimony and Mr. Ralph Rodheim of•the Swim for the Gold Committee addressed the Commission. He reviewed the support they have received from homeowner associations, senior citizens and students. He also announced that the Center will be formally named the Marian Bergeson Aquatic Center. Their fund raising campaign will conclude in 1988 and they would Tike a two year funding period so that the proposed project will not be affected or deleted. He suggested some capital projects could be delayed to accomplish this. Mr. Dick Nichols, 519 Iris, addressed the Commission. He stated Corona del Mar High School has an outstanding swim program with an'i.nadequate facility. -Mr. Nichols referred to the•Agreement the City has with the School District for Harbor'High School which has not worked out satisfactorily. • Should the City provide funding for the Corona del Mar Pool, the City could prioritize the pool program with School District participation. There would not be the conflicts there are with other,�programs such as field use by Little League and AYSO. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Chair Brenner asked Mark Deven to comment on the joint use agreement with'the School District. Mr. Deven reported there is a joint use agreement with Harbor High School which has resulted in some problems as to maintenance and scheduling, however, there are fewer problems in the summer. Mr. Jack Hochadel of the Swim for the Gold Committee addres- sed the Commission. He reported they met with the School Board and'Superintendent and agreed on a 50- 50-funding split between the City'and the community. The School Board agreed they would not be in the "driver's seat" of the Corona del Mar Agreement. During discussion by the Commission, Commissioner Konwiser referred to the cash flow problem and explained the capital improvement project process to the public. If approved, certain projects would have to be eliminated. He suggested other methods of financing be pursued. • Commissioner Springer questioned priority scheduling in the agreement which-favors-youth and Mr. Deven advised this is part of the agreement, however, -other provisions can be made. Director•Whitley pointed out there would be problems with adults using the pool during a school day, however, use can-be expanded. Commissioner Grant advised that the Committee was ready but they were directed.:elsewhere while the capital improve- ment projects were in process, therefore, they were delayed presenting their project to the Commission. He said he felt the School District has been cooperative except for maintenance,.however, he believes in joint funding and joint use. Commissioner Grant referred to the capital improvement project list and recommended the following be deleted/ modified to fund the Corona del Mar pool project: Delete Item #12, Replace asphalt pathway at Eastbluff Park ($85,000 ; Split Item #13, Install playground facility improvements at various parks, specifically the tot lot at Buffalo Hills Park ($50,000); and delete Item #14, Replace restrooms and utility buildings at Eastbluff Park ($125,000). Commissioner Wolfe, Jr. suggested the project be looked at o / a long term basis and said he felt-the pool could be started 6 'in two years. He recommended funding'$125•,000 per year and making it a 3-year project. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 5 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Commissioner Konwiser suggested pulling the Eastbluff project and the restroom project for a total of $210,000, which would be one -third of the $625,000 requested. Chair Brenner advised this would then be adequate if they are willing to fund over a three year period. Commissioner Springer asked if there were any major capital improvements in the next 2 -3 years that would have an impact on capital projects. Director Whitley advised there are no major facilities being planned, nor are there any major developments by The Irvine Company. There may, however, be an opportunity to purchase a private school i•n West Newport which would provide an excellent recreation center for the community. Motion x Commissioner Konwiser moved to delete Item 12, Replace Ayes x x x x asphalt pathway at.Eastbluff Park, and Item 14, Replace restrooms and utility buildings at Eastbluff Park, totalling $210,000 from the capital improvement - projects and apply' this money toward the Corona del Mar Olympic swim pool subject to a joint use agreement with the School Board approved by staff and this Commission at a later date; and commit to approving $41-5.,000 for the same purpose over the following two years until a total of $625,000 is reached Unanimous. Item #7 - Parcel Map, 2919 Cliff Drive Parcel Map, 2919 Cliff Director Whitley referred to the report submitted.which Drive outlines the project as approved by the Planning Commission. There is impact in this Commission's sphere insofar as the private land is surrounded by public land, i.-e., Cliff Drive Park. There should be assurance that the two public parcels are treated well; that public access connects the two parcels; and that there be no impact of development as to views and aesthetics. The developer has presented a very detailed report to the Commission as to what is proposed, i.e., public access in a 30' right -of -way and tree relocation program. When specific plans are available, they would then be reviewed and approved by this Commission. Mr. Hal Woods, 3505 Cadillac Avenue, Costa Mesa, addressed the Commission. He explained the parcel map and the construction of the four single family homes between the parks. They are proposing to put a sidewalk in the area and relocate trees /shrubs in a landscape plan to be further defined. The houses have not yet been designed and there CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 6 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX would be minimal grading to be presented at a later date. He explained the tree relocations which would leave the three largest trees on the site. They intend to re- utilize the Palms and would donate the remaining ones. -Mr. Woods also explained the improvements to be made on the Riverside Drive sidewalk and-installation of a retaining wall. Director Whitley explained the right -of -way easement for utilities. -The pedestrian pathway that is being proposed links the two parks and consideration should be made as to impact. He suggested the Commission address the sidewalk issue, tree relocation and regrading as it affects the retaining wall. Gail Demmer, 2812 Cliff Drive and President of the Newport Heights Community Association, addressed the Commission. She stated some homeowners like the project, however, many do not. The Association agreed they did not want concrete sidewalks around the outer rim of the park in order to discourage skateboarding, etc. and encourage a wilderness atmosphere. They a"re.also concerned that the developer is asking for a resubdivision of the area. Marian Rayl, 426 San Bernardino, addressed the Commission. She stated the Community Association expressed disapproval of the project which would encroach on public property at the Avon Street site. They also do-not want more parking at Avon Street. Many are opposed to grading on any portion of-the park as this would affect the creek, trees, etc. The homeowners association is opposed to a sidewalk around the rim of the park or connected in any way to the stairway. They would like a stipulation that there be no grading or tree -removals. Mr. Hal Woods addressed the Commission. He stated they were proposing to extend the sidewalk because of the dangerous corner. He thought that a condition.of approval was that the sidewalk be put in. He then presented pictures showing the tree removals /relocations. i Marian Rayl, 426 San',Bernardino, addressed the Commission. She stated the sidewalks have purposely been submerged and the neighbors looking at the greenbelt area do not want a • sidewalk. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH , i arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 7 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Brion Jeannette, 400 Santa Ana Avenue, addressed the Commission. He said he felt the -major issues are the scale of the building and how it will interface with the park and the view area. Dr. Vandersloot, 2221 16th Street, addressed the Commission regarding grading and the vegetation that would be removed. He stated a biological study was sent to Commissioner Herberts showing an ecological unit in the park which is a bird refuge. If there is grading to be done, the area should be replaced with native plants. He also referred to an Indian tar-mi•ne•on the west hillside where grading would destroy Indian artifacts. He stated that as he has young children he prefers-the sidewalks but feels the proposed project is too dense as it is presented. Commissioner Konwiser stated that since there is a major objection to the sidewalk, this should not be part of the issue. If and when a. ^pve7;iminary,,grading-plan is submitted, • the other items should be addressed. He recommended a 30' right -of -way be approved without the sidewalk. Commissioner-Grant motioned to delete the sidewalk, accept the trees, review the grading proposal if-it reduces the project's impact on parks, and review the view plane. During discussion Commissioner Grant withdrew his motion. Motion x Commissioner Springer motioned to delete the sidewalk, Ayes x x accept the trees and refer to the Street Tree Committee Nays x- x .: x ;. and not approve grading changes for the two adjacent parks. In addition this Commission recommends the City Council- review the-view planes. Motion fails. Chair-Brenner stated that as:a parent of,young children and as a resident of an area also deficient in sidewalks, she opposed this motion as she feels more input from the entire community should occur. Motion x Commissioner Springer amended the motion to state this Ayes x x x x Commission does not address the view plane or any grading Nays, x x changes. Motion carries. Item #8 - Coral-Tree Removal Request, -280 Evening Canyon Rd. Coral Tree • Removal Request Director Whitley repofted 'Mr. Jacklin is appealing the Street Tree Committee's decision to deny his request for tree removal. Jack Brooks feels the tree can be root pruned to eliminate some damage to water lines. -_ CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Commissioner Wolfe, Jr. stated he saw one small cut in the sidewalk and curb. He feels this is a beautiful tree that' shouldn't be-removed if it doesn't cause damage to the sewer or -water lines. Commissioner Grant agreed and recommended-more severe trimming. Motion x Commissioner Konwiser moved the tree be retained providing Seconded x it is trimmed on an 18 month cycle and the roots be pruned Ayes x x x x x x so there is minimal damage. Seconded by'Grant. Unanimous. Item #9 —Park Place Tract Map 12873 Park Place Tract Map Director Whitley reported this was brought to the Commission 12873 two years ago and there is confusion as to what the Commissio approved. The developer is bringing the matter back to this ,Commission concerning trees on City owned propel°ty as they relate to the Park�Place home sites. The original plans showed 3 trees would be removed and this Commission must decide whether they should be removed for construction. Staff feels there is liability now•with respect-to the 3 Eucalyptus Trees and•one of the following can be done: (1) Remove the trees; (2) Raise the wall; or (3) Grade to the wall. Robert Newberry, 555 Fullerton, addressed the Commission. He explained that they tried their best'to work with neighbors, homeowner associations and'the City. The plans are designed to•specific'heights; and, at neighbors' suggestions, they put in'view corridors, limited height, and -have an easement for access to the park in addition to making park improvements. They did not ask this Commission's approval of the plan as the conditions of approval specifical y state•regrading , of the park and tree removal/trimming would be approved by-the-Department. They did not know they were in violation of the process and-are now asking this Commission's approval. Howard Tuttle,1136 Somerset Lane, addressed the Commission. Mr. Tuttle stated they conferred with-the Traffic Division regarding minor-grading.. He explained drainage, slopes, ;and',swale down the property line. They are proposing to take out the first four trees and two-by the parking lot. Rae ,Cohen,, 1.501 Antigua Way, addressed -the Commission. Mrs. Cohen is-past Chair of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation I� Commission, active-et the Theatre Arts Center, and an immediate neighbor to the site. She voiced her concern over CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 9 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX how far the area will be graded and future plans to re- plant trees /foliage. She stated the park is used a great deal by the Theatre Arts Center and they want to keep it private and attractive. She asked that grading be kept at a minimum. They would prefer the trees not be removed, however, if they are, they want replacements. Marian Rayl, 426 San Bernardino, addressed the Commission. and voiced °her concern over preserving public views from the park. She stated no permission was given to grade or remove trees. Brion Jeannette, 470 Old Newport Blvd., addressed the Commission. He-stated adequate site distance was a conditio of approval'. The neighbors wanted the trees removed at Park Place and Cliff Drive to help preserve views and they also signed the plans. Robert Newberry, 535 Fullerton, addressed the Commission and reported on the analysis of view preservation from a public area over private property. Their report as submitted to the Commission is to be made a part of the minutes. Vincent Harris, 250 Cliff Drive, addressed the Commission. He explained the $200,000 increase in the appraisal of his home with a'view" compared to the loss with no view. He stated the Eucalyptus Trees in question and the bushes now block his view.

ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission adjourned at 11:40 P.M. The-agenda for this meeting was posted on March 29, 1988 at 3:45 P.M. outside the City Hall-Administration Building, Dottle_F1ohr, Secretary n lJ • Item No. 5 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH • Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department DATE: April 26, 1988 TO: Parks, Beaches and•Recreation Commission FROM: Recreation Superintendent SUBJECT: China Cove Beach Volleyball Court Recommendation: Authorize one of the following two alternatives regarding the status of the existing beach volleyball court'in China Cove. 1. Retain the volleyball court in its present location as depicted by the attached aerial photograph. 2. Authorize the Department to remove the volleyball court. Background: In response to complaints from China Cove area residents and pursuant to •Resolution No. 88' -14, the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department posted the volleyball courts located in the public bayfront beach for removal after 30 days effective April 6, 1988. Following the posting, residents and volleyball players contacted the Department and claimed that the existing court had been approved by the Parks,''Beaches.and Recreation Commission some time in the 1970's. The current volleyball court location last, °reused in January, 1983 and March; 1988, does not indicate authorization for-China Cove. Due to the significant interest on•the part of residents supporting both removal and retention, staff consulted with Beach and Oceanfront Committee members and determined that a full review by the Commission was necessary and desirable. On April 25, 1988, over'50 China.Cove residents and•property owners were mailed notices regarding the scheduling of this issue for Commission consideration,per the attached letter. The staff recommendations„ although 'inconclusive regarding the final decision, reflects the following paradoxes: 1. An equal number of residents supporting retention and removal have contacted staff regarding the status of the'*volleyball court. 2. Two property,,owners located closest to the court support its retention. o 3. Other property owners and residents located further away have complained of noise, traffic, parking and'minor damage to private property which stems from the volleyball courts use. • 4. The City maintains a large beach volleyball playing area at Corona del Mar Beach. 5. Demand for beach volleyball seems to be on'the increase as evidenced by the number of illegal courts. 16 -2- The recommendation also reflects the fact that a compromise placement of the • court is not feasible. Location of the court towards the water will place the playing surface under water at high tide; typically, debris could be deposited under the surface when-the tide recedes. Location of the court-on the lower beach-at China Cove W not acceptable due to tides and proximity to residences. Therefore, staff has concluded that the volleyball court is presently in the most favorable location should the Commission authorize its retention. • • 11 rk Deven "''' •' � ",�' rte' Pb :�lrx�+�;.�a^��,!u�t�•W:..:._ k" i� 0 x I .(`1tL: ....Yi\��F «!:C= 'i•SYIr) SS "� r m 1 , j y q� ,�`y ..::7M'.l?Yt';:vtY , \ >i q..'i'+t• �i�'!`a'� �.2?Si�:���',.yy t}> i:``ui.ta�^y� i 4-e �• � 4<�.•' �+.,.�� N+a' t n '� . .,.,+ iii,.' �• 'ls i�.74q ..+M.•', :' w .. � ��,`pryJti "f; ♦ rN . �t ,',' YN, a� ik iltsvM.t 4 .• , j t.a r .. rt1a� +• ..,�.,,d�i 'i •w by •; ., {..'''R, �4Y1'� .\ ,.,�� �pY JZ'�d -_ .A ..mnatWmw>ku . r f M Mi s t li • E SEW PO�,T e� CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH u PARKS. BEACHES AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT eK CqI /POVL P.O. BOX 1768, NEWPORT BEACH, CA 92658 -8916 (714) 644 -3151 April 25, 1988 Dear Resident: It has come to the attention of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department that the existence of the volleyball court on the public beach in China Cove is not desired by some residents in the area. This Department and other offices in the City have received complaints regarding noise, traffic and other nuisances which may stem from use of the volleyball playing area. On April 6, 1988, representatives of the Department posted the volleyball court for removal in 30 days unless an application for permanent installation was received. In- dividuals supporting the volleybal•1 court's current location indicated their belief that'a'court had been approved for China Cove in the mid 1970's. Although the Department has no documentation to support this claim, it was determined that the interests of a11 residents will be better addressed by scheduling a review of the volleyball court's status and notifying all residents of China Cove. Therefore,.the Parks, Beaches and Recreation-Commission will be reviewing the status of the volleyball court at their regular meeting of Tuesday, May 3, 1988,, at 7:00 P.M. The meeting will be held in the City Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard. 'If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned at 644 -3158.

City of Newport Beach 3300 Newport Blvd. Newport Beach, Ca. 92663 Dear Mr. Whitley: TELEPHONE 714 673.4120 April 19, 1988 We respectfully request that the volleyball court in China Cove be removed so that this small beach can be enjoyed by all instead of the few volleyball players who have usurped this beach for their games. We would like the beach used for passive sunbathing and swimming - one which would be safe for small children. We are particularly sensitive to the safety problem because the son of friends suffered a fractured skull and concussion when a volleyball player landed on the child's head. Further, there is no public parking in the Cove, the streets are very narrow and there are no thru -ways. Traffic and illegal parking present problems for residents in the area to say nothing of noise, foul language and behavior.. To allow this group to stake out half of this area for their private use is not in the best interest of the general public. DM /js Very truly yours, y Charles and Dee Masters CHARLES W.

Dear Members, April 15, 1988 We, the undersigned, are petitioning your Honorable Body to remove the illegal volleyball court presently existing on the north beach of China Cove. This court causes'a nuisance factor to the residents of China Cove and creates a hazard to those people sunbathing in the near proximity of this area or who are using the beach for other types of recreation. The following is a list of our concerns regarding the illegal volleyball court we feel the City should remove: 1 1. There is definitely no parking in this area and is so posted. There is no turn - around and the users often park .three -deep, blocking residents' dYiveways. Such disregard for the posted ordinance prevents emergency vehicle access, as there is no circulation pattern. 2. The players urinate in the bay water as there are no public r•estrooms provided. 3. There is loud profanity used. 4. Illegal beer drinking is practiced. 5. Trash is littered on the beach and adjoining street -. The city trash barrels overflow with beer cans and other trash. 6. This is a passive beach and does not accomodate this type of activity. 7. No local residents use this court for volleball playing.

We would like the beach used for passive sunbathing and swimming - one -which would be safe for small children. We are particularly sensitive to the safety problem because the son of friends suffered a fractured skull and concussion when a volleyball player landed on the child's head. Further, there is no public parking in the Cove, the streets are very narrow and there are no thru -ways. Traffic and'illegal parking present problems for residents in the area to say nothing of noise, foul language and behavior. To allow this group to stake out half of this area for their private use is not in the best interest of the general public. Very truly yours, Charles and.Dee Masters DM /js CHARLES W. MASTERS .

Box 1768 Newport Beach, CA 92658 The State of California has very valuable assets in its land and wildlife. As a State that thrives and benefits from its exceptional climate, varied geography and breathtaking beauty, it is important as representatives of our local citizenry that we act to protect these irreplaceable resources for the enjoyment of present and future generations. It is for these reasons the City of Brea and its Parks, Recreation and Human Services Commission is asking for your City and advisory board's support of Proposition 70, the California Wildlife, Coastal and Park Land Conservation Act, a State initiative that will be on the June 7, 1988 primary election ballot. Brea has adopted a resolution in support of the proposition and has proposed another to the Orange County Division of the League of California Cities. Both resolutions are enclosed for your information. Its Commission has initiated a public awareness campaign with local civic and sports organizations on the upcoming proposition. The League of California Cities Environmental Policy Committee has also endorsed the initiative and is presenting its recommendation to the full League. The initiative proposed by the people of California, will provide $776 million Statewide to acquire park land, wildlife habitats and coastal areas. Funding would be made available for park and recreation projects within the County of Orange and throughout the State that otherwise would not be available. A total of $166 million will be available in direct grants to local agencies, including counties and special districts and will be allocated on a per capita basis. Monies that would be available to Orange County agencies and districts from this fund total just over $29.6 million. IN • Wildlife Initiative April 5, 1988 Page two An additional $26.5 million will be available for specific acquisition and development projects throughout the County, including the expansion of Bolsa Chica Park, restoration of the wetlands, acquisition and preservation of greenbelt areas around Laguna Beach and Irvine, the preservation of native plant areas in eastern Orange County and the completion of Chino Hills State Wilderness Park. As you can see, the opportunity is here for local agencies to join together to encourage the support and passage of Proposition 70. The available funding will benefit citizens throughout the State of California. On behalf of the City of Brea Parks, Recreation and Human Services Commission, I would like to ask your advisory board and City's support and encourage the passage of Proposition 70 in your community. Your efforts could have a positive influence on the passage of this very important piece of legislation.

A visit to this location would help in making a decision on the appeal. If there are questions of staff, please feel free to call. FW h / ' •8 r. r April 4, 1988 C' City of Newport Beach Parks, Beaches & Recreation Dept. 3300 Newport Blvd. Newport Beach, CA 92660 Attention: Street Tree Commission /Jack Brooks Dear Members of the Commission, A request to remove the tree in front of my home at 1936 Leeward Lane was submitted at your March meeting. A recommendation to approve the removal of this tree was made by your Mr. Jack Brooks. Your commission chose to deny that request. Therefore,, I am hereby requesting an appeal of the decision to deny the removal of this tree. • This particular ash tree has been a-menace to every- one on Leeward Lane and as you all are very-much aware - should never have been planted in the first place. I have lived here for 17 years and this tree has continually uprooted my sidewalk, has broken all the surrounding sprinklers, and has severly broken the curb line making it difficult to park cars without damaging tires. The worst problem of all is that my'mom has had a very hard time walking across the sidewalk as she is handicapped and walks on two canes. The distortion of the sidewalk created by your tree has almost caused my mother to slip.on two occasions. Please consider these facts and reconsider your decision. I ask that you approve the removal of the • tree in front of my home at 1936 Leeward. Tha�kyou for attention in this matter. �� Sincerely, n n L-A 0 Item No. 9 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches -and Recreation Department DATE: April 26, 1988 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Recreation Superintendent SUBJECT: Proposed New Facility Fees Recommendation: Approve the revised facility fee schedule effective July 1, 1988 per the attachment. Background: In recognition of the development and - improvement to recreation facilities in recent years and the fact that the present facility fee schedule was last revised in 1983, staff researched and 'developed the recommended fee schedule. Neighboring cities, including Costa Mesa and'Irvine, were contacted and their facility fee schedules obtained-. The fees for non - profit organizations, both resident and non - resident; increased only slightly. Pncreases for private use were established based on the market survey of neighboring-cities. Commercial rates increased 100% in order to be more compatible to the market and to discourage such use in favor of use by non - profit organizations and residents. It is not anticipated that the increased fees will discourage public facility use. 'Demand for recreational facility use has' increased an average of 25% since Fiscal Year 1985 -86, and the limited increases for non - profit organizations should not affect demand in that category. Residents requesting,use of the Oasis Multi- Purpose Room will still find the increased fee as much as $75 less than medium priced banquet facilities. 9-9 i ii r EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 1988 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, CA. 92663 • CURRENT FEE SCHEDULE SET -UP NON- PROFIT GROUP PRIVATE FEE RESIDENT NON- RESIDENT RESIDENT NON- RESIDENT MEETING ROOMS $30 (1st 2 hours /additional hour; 2 hour minimum) 30 Bonita Creek $30 $25/12 $30/15 $50/25 $70/35 Theatre Arts Center 30 25/12 30/15 50/25 70/35 Carroll Beek 30 25/12 30/15 50/25 70/35 Mariners Multi- Purpose 30 25/12 30/15 50/25 70/35 OASIS Center Class Room 30 25/12 30/15 50/25 70/35 Grant Howald /CYC 30 25/12 30/15 50/25 70/35 Cliff Drive 30 25/12 30/15 50/25 70/35 City Council Chambers 'n /c 25/12 30/15 50/25 70/35 AUDITORIUMS OASIS Multi- Purpose $75 $70/35 $80/40 $100/50 $200/100 TAC Theatre 75 35/17 40/20 50/25 100/50 TENNIS COURTS Irvine Terrace. $16/8 $18/9 $22/11 $44/22 Mariners* 16/8 18/9 22/11 44/22 Grant Howald Park •16/8 18/9 22/11 44/22 Las Arenas* N/A 16/8 18/9 22/11 44/22 San Joaquin Hills 16/8 18/9 22/11 44/22 Newport .,*Night 16/8 18/9 22/11 44/22 Est Lighted Tennis Courts BALL FIELDS Grant Howald Park w/o lights $15/7.50 $16/8 $20/10 $40/20 w/ lights 25/13 30/15 35/17.50 60/30 Mariners Park 15/7.50 16/8 20/10 40/20 Eastbluff 15/7.50 16/8 20/10 40/20 Buffalo Hills 15/7.50 16/8 20/10 40/20 Peninsula Park ..N/A 15/7:50 16/8 20/10 40/20 Lincoln W/o lights 15/7.50 16/8 20/10 40/20 w/ lights 25/13 30/15 35/17.50 60/30 Bonita Creek Park w/o lights 15/7.50 16/8 20/10 40/20 w/ lights 25/13 30/15 35/17.50 60/30 San Miguel Park 15/7.50 16/8 20/10 40/20 PICNIC AREAS /PARKS N/A $20/10 $22/10 $25/12' $50/16.50 (Weddings, Birthdays, etc.) ' ,(Extra charges will be made for special services.) fAMNASIUM (1st 3 hours /additional hours) coln $50 $30/10 $67.50/22.50 I $90/30 I $150/50 COMMERCIAL RATES Meeting Rooms Set -Up.

Item No.' 11,(d) SI318'8 To: Parks, Beaches, and•Recreation Commission From: Beach and Oceanfront Committee Date: October 5, 1987 Subject: Lifeguard Staffing at Corona del Mar Background - Chairperson Brenner requested that the Ocean and Beach Committee review city lifeguard staffing policies at Corona del Mar beach in view of its charging parking fees with an eye to giving a recommendation about the advisability of charging parking fees without providing lifeguard services. Information - In a meeting with Ken Jacobsen and Bud Belshe of the Marine Department and Commissioners Taft and Springer and Mark Devon the following was a summary of points made by Mr. Jacobsen and Mr. Belshe: 1. Present Funding a. The Marine Department is working with the current budget of over $1 million. The department has stayed within 1% of the forcast each year. They feel that the present allocation of manpower is adequate. The beach is always patrolled even though sometimes it is not apparant. It is patrolled by guards in jeeps on top of the hill, by lifeguard boats, • and the staff have beepers to come to any beach in Newport Beach 24 hours a day. b. If the commission wants to recommend more staffing for CdM beaches, the department would go before the council with the request. Mr. Jacobsen pointed out that the budget could be doubled or tripled to get 24 hour protection and that those people who were going to get into trouble would still get into trouble. c. Summary of costs of increased staffing are contained in report of June 4 submitted to the commission. 2. Current Level of Staffing a. At present there is one man assigned to drive along top of hill every day -- 21, hours in morning and 221- hours in the afternoon when lifeguard towers are not staffed. Life guard are posted when they are closed. b. Mr. Jacobsen and Mr. Belshe feel that staffing is adequate and when cooditions warrant, added guards are brought in. He pointed out that several personnel live at CdM and can be summoned at any time day or night once trouble is reported. He pointed out that the police, fire, and marine departments work closely together. c. There are currently three marine department lifeguard vessels and the bouy,s off of Cdh1 are currently being restrung and, re- routed. d. It is difficult to get-the part time lifeguard people to work during the winter months and Mr. Jacobsen doesn't ,. feel that the added personnel would necessarily make the beaches safer. He again pointed out that if a jeep patrol feels conditions warrant, a lifeguard is sent over. There L4 are no statistics to•warrant added service. Lifeguard Staffing at Corona del Mar Page 2 'e. Private groups are always requesting lifeguard protection to bring groups to the beach. At present, if a group is coming to the beach when no lifeguard is on duty at the tower, the group requests a lifeguard and must pay for the service. f. Current priority for lifeguard services is for the most crowded beaches to get the most staffing. 3. Comments about potential liability and signing of beach. a. No other beach city reports having this problem. Mr. Jacobsen will check at the next meeting of cities. b. The beach at CdM is relatively safe with few riptides. c. The problem with signing is in many areas: (1) No legal guidelines have been established regarding where to put signs. (Lifeguard stands are posted when no lifeguard is present.) (2) If a sign is to be erected, there is no legal guideline about where a "safe" spot is and there is no legal guideline about what to say on the sign. (3) If one risk is identified on a sign, all risks on a beach must be identified. He pointed out that deaths at a beach like Corona del Mar can come in many other ways besides drowning. Deaths have been caused by digging holes and by playing football as well as drowning. (4) If it is true that the beaches should be signed when • no lifeguards are present, even though the individual towers are already signed, then we have the same problem with the entire beach at Newport as well as up and down the coast. Parking lots at Balboa and Newport Piers are staffed when lifeguard towers aren't staffed, as well as the entire peninsula with all the parking meters. We would need to sign every street and every parking lot along the entire city of Newport Beach. He feels that because of the problem with no legal definition of how a sign should read or where it should be placed, we would be creating more problems then We would be solving by placing a sign on the beaches. (5) He doesn't see that there is any way to tie in parking and permanent Yifeguard staffing at guard towers. He feels that the-le is adequate lifeguarding during the X L times when the lot is pay and the towers are not individually staffed. (6) The Marine Department continues to provide lifeguard staffing to individual groups who pay for the service. 4. Outcome 'of the Commission bringing this problem to the attention of the Marine Department. a. The Marine Department appreciates the commission bringing this question about staffing to their attention and will take this opportunity to review all staffing needs with attention to • Corona del' Mar. Lifeguard Staffing at Corona del Mar Page 3 5. Summary of Liability Risk from David Cassleman, an Attorney who has defended Newport Beach and other coastal communities on beach related cases. Mr. Cassleman characterized the charging of parking lot fees while providing a minimum level of lifeguard service as an "inflamatory issue." Mr. Cassleman suggested the following alternatives: a. Post signs at the parking lot entrance indicating the level of staffing. b. Develop a method of "corraling" swimmers into a "safe swimming" area. The area designated should be close to a lifeguard tower which would be staffed. c. Clearly post signs indicating the "safe swimming area ". Although a patrol vehicle could still be used, Mr. Cassleman feels that the city's liability could be reduced by designating a swim area and staffing the closest tower since a lifeguard is more effective stationed in a tower than riding in a vehicle. Recommendation from the Beach and Ocean Front Committee - The Beach and Oceanfront Committee is making the following recommendations: 1. That the Marine Department continue to review staffing needs of Corona del Mar beach and make adjustments as needed 2. That no change be made in the-current staffing and level of services at Corona del Mar beach unless additional usage warrants additional lifeguard services. . 3. That no additional signing be done unless legal guidelines that will protect the city are established. a. Signs are currently posted at lifeguard towers. b. The present bouy system lets swimmers know where the swimming area is and where it is safest. c. Lifeguards for groups are available if the group wants to pay for the individual' service. d. The Director of Lifeguards feels that the level of staffing is adequate to provide a level of safety 24 hours a day. 4. In short,the committee feels that additional signing, posting of hours of staffing, and requiring swimming in a "safe" area would be expensive, wouldn't protect the city against a law suit; and would not significantly increase the safety of beach goers. is 50 Item No. X Is CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH'- • Parks, Beaches- and-Recreation 'Department DATE: April'26, 1988 TO: Parks, Beaches and-Recreation Commission FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director SUBJECT: Status of Capital Projects.
