JOINT MEETING WITH FRIENDS OF OASIS Vice Chair Springer turned the meeting over to Mark Deven. Mr. Deven referred-,to the Oasis Center Master Plan included in the Commission's agenda packet. The Plan originated as a.-.result of a study by the Oasis Long Range Planning Committee which contains five basic elements. Mr. Deven reviewed each of the elements, i.e., (1) facility expansion, (2) multi- purpose room utilization, (3) expanded parking, (4) gardens relocation, and (5) game room. Mr. Deven explained the justification for the Plan which included national, state and local trends and'statistics. He also referred to the four case management studies pre- sented which are examples showing a definite need for services and referrals to meet the complex needs of seniors. He summarized the current'utilization of programs offered at the Center and the results of a survey recently taken. Although recreational activities appear to be the most • popular, there is a definite need to- develop the Center into a comprehensive, multi- service site to meet all the needs of both active and frail elderly seniors. The Commission.and the Board then convened for their Joint Meeting. Following introductions, Chuck McCann, President of the Board, stated they were pleased to meet tonight in a partnership to work towards meeting the needs of seniors. He said that, although the Center is an excellent one, there are certain deficiencies that need attention which are_ addressed in the Master Plan to make the Center first class. Mr. McCann explained they hired a consultant, Recreation Systems, Inc., that specializes in senior center planning and their representative, Ron Paige, is present to explain the Plan. He asked that the Commission take another look at the priorities of the capital projects list based on the information presented this evening. Jim DeLamater, Chair of the Long Range Planning Committee, briefly reviewed their major concerns as they relate to a complete utilization of the - facility. These included improve parking and the hazardous crossing at Marguerite; utilization of the 1.06 acres north of Oasis, and turning the multi- purpose room into one that has simultaneous use. Mr. Ron Paige from Recreation Systems, Inc. addressed the Commission and Board and presented the proposed Master Plan which should provide the fullest utilization-of the Center. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 3 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Elements include adding to the existing multi - purpose room so that more activities can take place without interruption; providing a central atrium lounge to promote socializing; offices and space for staff, seniors and volunteers; reloca- tion of the game room; a conference room; restrooms amended for the handicapped; relocation of the garden area; and an area for carport and storage. Following his presentation, Mr. Paige answered the Commissio 's questions and discussed the parking area, insulation of walls in the multi - purpose room, furnishings, table height gardens for the handicapped, etc. Celeste Jardine -Haug, Recreation Supervisor for Older Adults at Oasis, further explained the need for better utilization of the Center. She pointed out that there is also a need for= b_ services for the frail elderly which the proposed Plan addresses. Their number one problem, however, is . transportation and the need for more funding and a larger van in order to provide service to more seniors, especially the frail elderly. Mr. Jim DeLamater explained that they are in the process of soliciting for the Endowment Fund in order to extend their transportation services. He and Mr. McCann both felt this would be a good joint project for the Commission and the Board. Commissioner Grant suggested discussing with Public Works the idea of taking out the driveway at the corner of 5th and Marguerite since it may be too congested /dangerous and providing a quieter, safer-entry way. Mr. McCann concurred. Following adjournment of the joint meeting, Director Whitley reported that many people have shown a great interest in expanding the facility for the future. Staff supports such a project and funds have been proposed in the capital project process. Mark Deven added that the proposed Master Plan addresses a variety of needs and would be a complete build out so that there will not be a need to do much more other than what is proposed in the Plan. Commissioner Grant stated that, although the expansion is needed, he questioned the need for private offices in addition to adding classes and footage when there are other 5 facilities available. He also brought up the fact that the CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commi'ssi'on Page 4 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX community has other needs, such as childcare, that should be researched before the funds are committed. Commissioner Taft felt this was a good Plan but questioned the time and funds spent on Oasis compared to other projects Commissioner Brenner stated she liked the Plan and would like to see the multi - purpose room expanded and the lounge completed as soon as possible since these are the more serious needs. The rest could be done in phases. Commissioner Herberts also liked the Plan but was concerned that most funds seem-to be directed to this side of town. Commissioner Grant referred to the West Newport Center and stated there is a need to assess the use and demands at this site. Director Whitley advised funds are proposed to develop this Center. Commissioner Grant also suggested costs, scheduling, needs, etc., for this side of the City be presented to the Commission when they are available. In addition, prior to adding rooms at the Center, that the possibility of scheduling activities at the CYC, Theatre Arts basement and other City facilities be examined. Vice Chair Springer stated she would like to see the Plan proceed and that transportation be addressed so that seniors on the other sides of town -can easily utilize the services at Oasis. Director Whitley advised the joint meeting was for informa- tional purposes. The actual project is in the budget and a two -three year funding process has•been proposed. IV.

C Item No. 6 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH • Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department DATE: March 7, 1989 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director SUBJECT: City Council Policy I -12, Obstruction of Views by Trees The attached Council Policy was formulated by the Commission and adopted by the City Council in September of 1987. The Harbor View Hills Community Association was instrumental in the original request in preparing this policy. The Association has requested that the Commission pursue regulations that will provide stronger enforcement and solutions to problems of views as impacted by trees. Recommendation: 0 1. Modify policy to provide stronger enforcement, or 11 AN 2. Reaffirm existing policy; or 3. Eliminate policy Ronald A. Whitley " • 1 -12 OBSTRUCTION OF VIEWS BY TREES The City Council has expectations that individuals, public agencies and homeowner associations will comply with procedures to diminish view obstructions caused by trees and vegetation on their property. The purpose of this policy is to identify the importance of views lost due to tree growth by another private or public property owner. The objectives of this policy are to: 1. Preserve and promote the aesthetic benefits provided by trees and the preservation of views of the surrounding locale. 2. Preserve, maintain and enhance property values within the City. 3. Encourage the proper maintenance of trees, shrubs, hedges or other vegetation that unduly diminish desirable views. 4. Encourage homeowner associations and individuals to vigorously enforce their CC &R's as they pertain to trimming shrubbery in order to maintain views and property values. • 5. By example, City will endeavor to maintain all City -owned park property in a manner to maximize public and private view planes. Some exceptions can be trees of special value and beauty that in themselves enhance either the overall beauty of the area or are included in Preservation of Special Trees (I -9). Definitions to clarify this policy are: 1. Unreasonable Obstruction of View A tree, shrub, hedge or other vegetation should not be maintained on public or private property in the City in such a manner as to unreasonably obstruct the view from other property. 2. Views "View" means a range of sight including pleasing vistas or prospects or scenes. Views include, but are not limited to, the sight of geologic features, bays, oceans, skylines and bridges.

Box 54 Corona Del Mar, Ca 92625 Mr. Ron Whitley January 15, 1989 Parks, Beaches & Recreation Comm. City of Newport Beach P.O. Box 1768 Newport Beach, Ca 92663 Dear Mr. Whitley, We are now in the 16th month (September 1987) since the Council passed the city policy intended to preserve the primary views of Newport homeowners. The condition still exists today, as natural trees and other vegetation continue to grow into the sight plane. Appeals to homeowners associations who have tree height restrictions and sight preservation stipulations go unheeded and ignored. As a homeowner association vitally concerned with view preservation because of the esthetics, we are also very aware of the economic fact that view deterioration can reduce property values significantly. Major real estate firms in the city have stated emphatically that one tree obstructing views will reduce home values by $100,000 and probably more in todays market. is We have exhausted all avenues to resolve this situation. Our we has entire streets where views and historical landmarks have been lost behind a 50' -60' tree. The city has been doing their part in trimming on public land but the private homeowners have not been cooperative. These trees could be cut to near roof top level, since additional height), does not enhance the value or quality of living for the occupant. The HVHCA Board of Directors, Officers and members strongly recommend step #2. We ask the policy be advanced to an ordinance so enforcement can begin. This situation cannot continue as it is. We have pictures and information available to you to assist in rendering a decision. incerely, J' Wharton Bett a Wharton Chairpersons, View Preservation Court. , HVHCA cc: Parks Commission bi(c,`.

Discussion: The attached report was reviewed by the'City Council at their Study Session of February 27, 1989. They have continued discussion on this • matter until their meeting of March 13, 1989 to allow d full Council to consider the issue. If the Commission feels strongly toward either of the listed recommendations, that can be distributed to the City Council at the appropriate time. • 3G f CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department • February 27, 1989 STUDY SESSION ITEM N0. 6 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director SUBJECT: BOND ISSUE FOR PARKS AND OPEN SPACE BACKGROUND On June 27, 1988, the City Council directed the staff to work with the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission to prepare a list with appropriate costs that could be possible projects for a park and open space bond issue. The Commission and a subcommittee, formed specifically to accomplish this task, has met and discussed this topic a number of times. To present this matter in an accurate and helpful manner, it is necessary to review and analyze the Recreation and Open Space Element of the Newport Beach General Plan and • determine projects recommended for implementation that merit consideration for a bond issue. RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENTS NEWPORT BEACH GENERAL PL N In February of 1985, the City Council adopted a revised Recreation and Open Space Element of the General Plan. This Element was produced with significant involvement of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission and staff prior to the adoption by the City Council. An important segment of the Plan was an implementation program whereby deficiencies in the park system could be acquired and developed in the future. COMPLETED PROJECTS Using the Implementation Plan, the following indicates successful completion since 1985: 1. West Newport Park developed. 2. Bonita Creek Park developed. 3. Mouth of Big Canyon acquired through Park Dedication procedures. 4. Lincoln School - Leased and currently being refurbished. • 5. Old School Park. 6. Oasis Expansion, 2 acre acquisition. I F1 -2- 7. Marguerite View Park 8. West Newport Community Center • FUTURE PROJECTS As identified in the Plan, the following are projects that have not been implemented to date. Specific comments are provided for each project. Acquisition and Development Costs 1. Banning Community Park 20 acres 0 2. Banning View Park 1 acre 0 3. Banning Neighborhood Park 4 acres 0 - All of the Banning projects will occur as residential development is approved. As there is not a need for these locations until residential projects are built, it is felt that it would be prudent to acquire and develop the,public areas in our traditional manner. 4. Semeniuk Slough Undetermined Still involved in litigation. • 5. Castaways Park 10 acres $35 - $70 million Possible bond project if it is desired to acquire and develop a community park of 20= 60'acres. 6. Westbay 4 acres 0 Included in the proposed County. of Orange Regional Park. 7. Newporter North View Park 4 acres $20 - $40 million Possible bond project if it is desired to acquire and develop a community park of 20 -30 acres. 8. Newport Village Neighborhood 4 acres Park Will occur as development rights are granted. 9. Bayview Landing 2 acres $1 - $2 million • Will occur as development rights are granted. 10. Buck Gully 30 acres Undetermined "?�" 11. Cal Trans West 4 acres $5 million -3- POSSIBLE BOND PROVISIONS It has been indicated'that consideration should be given to include in a bond issue the possibility of: 1. A reserve fund (amount to be determined) for acquisition of small parcels as they come on the market to be developed into mini parks. 2. A development fund for property acquired through the Park Dedication Ordinance. 3. Maintenance funds to be used to maintain new acquisition and development. 4. An acquisition fund to purchase privately owned land for park or open space purposes. COST ESTIMATES Land Land costs would range from $500,000 to $1,000,000 per acre depending,on location and appraisals may determine different numbers. Development Costs range from $50,000 to $125,000 an acre depending on level of development. Maintenance Range from $10,000 annually per acre for minimal maintenance to $50,000 annually per acre for full service manicured maintenance. FINANCING ALTERNATIVES 1. General Obligation Bond - Requires two - thirds vote of the eyectorate. For off year ballot measures the cost is estimated to be $311,000 to place on ballot. All measures must be approved by the City and presented to the County Clerk by early June for November election. As previously mentioned, the City on June 6, 1972 placed three bond propositions on the.ballot. One (Proposition F) was for $3,560,000 for Park and Recreational Purposes including the acquisi- tion of sites and provision for open space. This measure .received 58.3% "yes" votes and therefore failed since 66 -2/3 "yes" vote was required. The second measure (Proposition G) was for $2,425,000 for Park and Recreational Facilities and Improvements, Furnishings and Equipment. This measure received 56.5% "yes" votes and was defeated. The third measure (Proposition H)'was'for $3,000,000 for Park and Recreational Purposes and Open Space. This measure received 53.1% "yes" votes and also failed. On March 8, 1977 the City voted upon a bond issue for $7,130,000 for land acquisition and park improvements. This proposition re- ceived 61.5% "yes" votes and therefore failed the 66 -2/3 requirement . of the election's code. �3 � ME 2. Lease Back - A sufficient amount of information has mot been obtained t o a ermine if this funding technique is viable for acquisition purposes. 3. Foundation, Non - Profit - Foundations for open space purposes are historically regional, state and national in scope. A grass root local foundation would probably identify many interested parties but their capability to generate large amounts is questionable. 4. Park uis�ition _Agreements - Technique whereby future development is reviewed an ad dvance dedication of park requirements can be negotiated with major landowners. SUMMARY The City Council should determine: 1. Specific locations for acquisition and development. 2. Determine approximate size of selected locations. 3. Determine level of development for specific locations. 4. Determine if maintenance funds are desirable-in a bond proposal. • In conclusion, our park system has grown significantly in the past decade. Through normal budget procedures it can be assumed that additional parks will be acquired and developed in the fashion that has enabled us to reach the current level. If 'a strong desire is determined to acquire larger amounts of park or open spaces, the people, through the bond process, could be given the opportunity to decide this issue. As an alternative, the City Council could negotiate park and open space agreements. 0 Ll 1' • CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH PLANNING DEPARTMENT February 16, 1989 TO: Ron Whitley, Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department Director FROM: Patricia Temple, Principal Planner SUBJECT: Park Bond Initiative Information As you requested, the following information is provided regarding the entitlement and park dedication for the sites anticipated to be involved a potential park bond initiative. Castaways: The Castaways Site is a 65 acre site and is allocated 151 dwelling units in the Newport Beach General Plan. The Recreation and Open Space Element designates ten acres of the site for a special view park. The dwelling units allocated to the site would result in a 1.7 acre dedication, and the mandatory bluff setback will result in an additional 3.8 acres left as open space. The balance of the 10 acres would either have to be acquired from The Irvine Company or negotiated into the public domain. Newporter North: The Newporter North site is 88 acres in size and is allocated 212 dwelling units in the General Plan. The Recreation and Open Space Element designates 4 acres for a special view park. The dwelling units allocated to the site would result in a 2.4 acre park dedication, and the mandatory bluff setback will result in an additional 1.8 acres left as open space. This site also contains a significant archaeological site ( ±25 acres) which is designated as Recreational and Environmental Open Space. CalTrans West: The CalTrans West site is approximately 11 acres in size and is allocated 154 dwelling units in the Newport Beach General Plan. The Recreation and Open Space Element designates ±2 acres for a lineal view park. The dwelling units allocated to this site would result in park dedication or fees for 1.7 acres. BBMiew Landing:. The gross size of the Bayview Landing site is 19 acres, but the size will be reduced by the various right -of -way dedications required for the Coast Highway widening project and the improvements at the intersection of Coast Highway and Jamboree Road. The General Plan designates the upper pad level ( ±10 acres) for Recreational and Environmental Open Space, with the entire area dedicated to the City at the time development of the lower pad level is approved. The lower pad is designated for Retail and Service Commercial, and is Allocated 10,000 sq.ft. for restaurant use or 40,000 sq.ft. for athletic club use. • you need any additional information please give me a call. E Item No. '10 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission DATE: February 27, 1989 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Chair, Beach and Oceanfront Committee SUBJECT: Volleyball Application, At the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission meeting of December 6, 1988, the Commission approved the Beach and Oceanfront Committee's recommendation to install volleyball poles at the end of 31st Street. The committee's recommendation and Commission's action was based on proper notification to residents and property owners in the area. However, Department staff omitted notifying some of the residents and property owners within 200' line of sight of the 31st Street location, thereby not affording some individuals a chance to comment on the action taken December 6. This oversight was brought to the committee's attention by Max Morgan, a resident of 3004 W. Oceanfront. After discussion of the issue with Mr. Morgan, the committee suggested a delay in the installation of the volleyb'al.l. poles, pending completion of an Application for Volleyball Court Removal by Mr. Morgan. The completed Application was received by staff on February 15 and is presented for the Commission's review. • The Commission is therefore requested to receive testimony from the concerned parties and determine the disposition of the volleyball court. • 4� A.Z.

By policy, the document is not available until given to the City Council. For this reason, the appropriate budgets will be provided to the Commission at the April meeting. Ronald A. Whitley Item No. 1.4 RECREATION DIVISION • FEBRUARY, 1989 PROGRESS REPORT • Special Interest Activities The spring brochure was mailed to over 40,000 residential /commercial postal customers the past month. Registration will begin on March 10 - April 2, with in- person registration beginning March 17. The current winter session continues to enroll participants for "B" and "C" sessions in various classes. The enrichment programs at Harbor View and Andersen Schools have enrolled, over 250 children in a variety of classes ranging from art to computers. Planning continues for the Corona del Mar Scenic 5K scheduled for Saturday, June 10, 1989. Art work for shirts and posters has been presented and approved by the committee responsible for coordinating the race, co- sponsored by the City and the Corona del Mar Chamber of Commerce. Youth Activities /Facility Maintenance The basketball season will conclude with City tournament play on March 4 at the West Newport Community Center. City Champions will advance to the Orange County Tournament in Fountain Valley the following weekend. Track and Field will begin on March 20 in preparation for the All -City Track Meet on Fri'day evening, April 14, at Davidson Field. A new stereo system has been installed at the Grant Howald Community Youth Center. The stereo was purchased with funds donated by the Newport Beach Exchange Club and net profits from the Center's dedication on July 9. The approximate 75 children who visit the Center each weekday afternoon are enjoying the rock and popular music. On February 9, Youth Sports Commissioners met with staff to review athletic field assignments on City parks and review problems and concerns. The Irvine Terrace Community Association approved the Department's request to install a temporary field on the park for the Bobby Sox program. The Department has also hired two new Building Maintenance Workers to fill part -time and full time vacancies. The new employees are assigned to maintain facilities on a regional basis concentrating resources on the east and west sides of the bay. Adult Sports /Aquatics The winter basketball season will conclude on March 20 for 49 teams. The spring league will follow, beginning the ,week of March 27. The current softball leagues which began this month will conclude the week of April 17. With respect to the Department's efforts at addressing the use of the Bonita Creek Park lights and the ambient glare, a strict procedure is now in place requiring a manual turn off of the lights within three (3) minutes of the game's conclusion. Staff is keeping a daily log of when the lights are deactivated, and thus far the lights have not been on past 10:10 P.M. Regarding an engineering solution to the ambient light problem, representatives of General Electric, Sunwest Lighting and Assured Electrical Contractors met at Bonita Creek on February 14 to determine alternatives. The recommended action is to install shades on all lamp fixtures and re -aim lights on various poles to avoid the glare problem. A date is being determined to complete this project. a -2- Older Adult Services • February was a busy month at Oasis with four special events.

Obviously, we paid a heavy premium for the views from our homes and we stand to lose not only $100,000 in our value if the view disappears, but also our own enjoyment of the views which we agreed warranted the extra dollars involved. The trees at Irvine Terrace are now 'so tall that they are effectively blanking out our view of the bay. We, too, love • trees but feel it is not asking too much to pass an enforceable ordinance that will protect our investment by insisting that the trees at Irvine Terrace must be kept trimmed to a reasonable height which would guarantee our view. They would still enjoy the beauty of the trees and we could still enjoy the beauty of the bay which cost us so dearly when we purchased our homes in this area.

COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR Dear CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, As part of the National Arbor Pay Foundation's continuing effort to recognize towns and cities who meet the standards of the.TREE CITY USA award, the Foundation has asked. the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection to cooperate in an effort to obtain qualified applicants. For that purpose, we have enclosed• information on the TREE CITY USA award for your review and consideration. We would like your assistance in determining if your city qualifies for the TREE CITY USA award. This can be an excellent opportunity for your city to gain some recognition for -its ongoing efforts to beautify the city by the use of trees. I£ you feel, after reviewing the four requirements, that your city meets the qualifications of the TREE CITY USA award -- you are . encouraged, to complete the enclosed. application form and mail it to my office for processing. We will be happy to assist you with. •any,questions you might have concerning this award. Nationwide, California ranks second to the state of Ohio in the. number of awards presented each year to the cities within 'their respective.bouhdaries. This year, California presented 61 TREE CITY USA awards. Within the Southern California area, our department awarded only 24 of these special awards ! To further clarify the situation, the awards were distributed within each of our Southern California Counties as follows: RIVERSIDE COUNTY CITIES': 2 SAN BERNARDINO CO. CITIES: 0 ORANGE COUNTY CITIES: 3 SAN DIEGO COUNTY CITIES: 4 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CITIES 15 Do you.find`the numbers hard to believe in light of all the tree care going on? Well, we do and for that reason we ask that you take a few moments to review the four-general requirements and submit an application in your city's behalf to gain the public recognition so long overdue. Who knows ... you may be the first city within your county or one of a very choice few to receive this special award. CONSERVATION IS WISE USE --KEEP CALIFORNIA GREEN AND GOLDEN As a TREE CITY USA, your Community will receive... I 1 TREE(ITYUSR ...highway signs for community ...a Tree City USA flag entrances ...along with the joy of stewardship and the gratitude of future generations The National-Arbor Day-Foundation, in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Ser- vice and the National Association of State Foresters, recognizes-towns and cities across America that meet the standards of the TREE CITY USA program. At least half of the trees in a typical ity are on public property... along treats, in parks, and around public The TREE CITY USA application must be completed by an appropriate city official (mayor, city forester, chair - man of the tree board, etc.). Mail the completed application to your state forester along with,all re- quested supporting material no later buildings. The TREE CITY USA pro- gram is designed to recognize those communities that effectively manage their public tree resources, and to en- courage the implementation of commu- nity tree management based-on four TREE CITY USA standards. These four standards provide struc- ture for a community forestry program, require.that program to demonstrate Application Procedures than December 31.'Your state forester will evaluate your application and for- ward it to The National Arbor Day Foundation. You will be advised before February 15 whether your community qualifies for TREE CITY USA recognition. TREE CITY USA Standards STANDARD t: A Tree Board or Department A tree board is a group of concerned citizens, usually volunteer, charged by ordinance to develop and administer a comprehensive community tree.management program for the care of trees on public property. Tree boards usually function with the aid of professional foresters. In communities with a population of more than 10,000, city forestry departments with salaried employees are often feasible. These departments may or may not be supported by advisory boards or administrative commissions. STANDARD 2: A Community Tree Ordinance The community tree ordinance needs to deslanale the tree board or department and give them the responsibility for wrliing'and Implementing the annual community forestry work plan. The ordinance should determine public tree care policies for planting;. maintenance, and removals. Ideally,41he city tree ordinance will make provisions for establishing and updating a list of recommended street tree species to be planted with spacing and location requirements. A sample tree ordinance may be obtained by writing The National Arbor Day Foundation. STANDARD 3: A Community Forestry Program with an Annual Budget of at least $2 per capita* Many communities begin their program by taking an Inventory of the trees growing on public property. The species, location, and ...a walnut - mounted plaque success based on the judgement of the state Forester's office,•and provide for an awareness and appreciation of trees among the residents of the community. TREE CITY USA recognition can make a strong contribution to your com- munity's,pride, and it will put you in touch with other communities and re- sources which can help you improve your program. Because your TREE CITY USA appli- cation must be certified by your state forester you are encouraged to contact your.state forester's office early in the application process for technical advice and assistance in meeting the standard's of a good community forestry program. condition of each tree are noted (i.e. healthy, needs pruning, should be removed, etc.) and the Inventory data is summarized in a written report for presentation and approval by the oily council. The report should be an objective analysis -of the present state of the urban forest with recommendations for future management. The essential, ongoing activity for the care of trees along streets, inparks, and in other public places is the communitydorestry program. The anhual work plan should address planting, watering and fertilizing, dead, and hazardous tfee removal, safely and fine pruning, and insect and disease control. To be named as a TREE CITY USA, a town or city mustannually spend at least $2 per capitagor its annual community forestry program. Consider all funds spent for tree care — budget for street tree department or board, park department's tree expenditures, dead tree removal, etc. *Note: $1 per capita will be accepted through 1990. STANDARD 4: An Arbor Day Observance and Proclamation An Arbor Day observance can be simple and brief or an all -day or all -week observance. A proclamation Issued by the mayor must accompany the observance and declare the observance of Arbor Day In your commupity.'You can obtain a free "CelebrateArbor Dayl" packet by writing The National Arbor Day Foundation. Along .with• cleas for celebrating the holiday, the packet contains a sample proclamation.

A dedication ceremony will be held later in the Spring. SUMMER CONCERTS: The Arts Commission presented plans to the City Council for their approval of five concerts to be held next summer This plan was well received by the Council Members. The possible sites are: Corona del Mar, Balboa Pier Gazebo, Newport Heights School, Eastbluff, and Fashion Island in September. Steve Rapp from Opera Pacific will coordinate and David Warble will produce and conduct. • Tony DeLap - Newport Pier Project: The Arts Commission has contracted with Tony DeLap to develop and design a project for the Pier. He plans to.make a presentation to this Committee later in the Spring. Mr. DeLap will visit the Oceanside Pier, the Fisherman's Restaurant (similar in design to the Newport,Pier Restaurant), which has been inoperation there for some time. The idea of limiting fishing from the end of the Pier had been discussed. David Harshbarger, Director of the Marine Department for 'the City, wa•s consulted and felt that limiting fishing areas was contrary to City policy. He also talked with the State Depart- ment of Fish and Game in Long Beach, and ail were in agreement that limitation was not in the best public interest and also almost unenforceable. No fishing license is required to fish off the pier and there will no no more piers built in Southern California. This information has been given to Mr. DeLap who will develop a plan that is fisherman resistant. Our next meeting will be scheduled when Mr. DeLap is ready to give a presentation of some possible designs for the Pier Project. You will be notified as soon as possible.
