Contract Classes - Summer, quarter is winding down. The series of summer camps were very
popular with 280 children in Beach Camp; 350 in Sports Camp; and 90 in Tennis and Sailing
Camp. Surfing was once again a big summer success with 270 registrants. The new fall Newport
Navigator will reach residents by Wednesday, August 28. Fall classes begin the week of
September 23.
Aquatics - Swimming went well this year, with the weather cooperating very nicely. There,were
1,075 children that went throughthe program this year with over $40,060 in revenue. The summer
• season officially concludes August 31, but the always popular lap swimming program at Corona
del Mar High School will continue throughout the year.
Balboa Music n Arts Festival -The 5th annual festival held at Peninsula Park is September 21. So
far registration has brought in 35 vendors. The goal is to reach 65 vendors. Live entertainment
along with food.booths are part of the day's activities.
Adult Sports - Fall registration brought in record numbers. Over 20 teams have been tamed away
for the Adult Softball Leagues, despite the fact that staff scheduled.a 130 coed and men's teams.
This is the most ever for a fall season and took quite a bit of staff ingenuity to accomplish this task.
The ever present shortage of fields is amplified due to the increased soccer and off - season baseball
usage. Our slogan is "NO RAIN!" Adult basketball will have 65 teams, which is six more than last
fall. All leagues will start September 9. With a one week break between seasons, the West
Newport gym floor will get sanded, partially painted and recoated the week of September 2.
Surf Contest - The City of Newport Beach Rusty Pro -Am Surf Championships will take place from
Friday, September 27, to Sunday, September 29, at, 54th Street. This annual event will offer
competition for both the young- amateur surfers from our community and some of the best
professional surfers in the world. This contest has developed a tradition of fine competition and
offers a unique opportunity to the youth of Newport Beach to ride the same waves as the idols they
read about in surfing magazines. The -contest features the fast two rounds of the
• professional/amateur division on Friday. The amateur -only divisions begin on Saturday. Finals in
all divisions will take place on Sunday.

Department is developing the plans for the improvements of the Arches Interchange (Newport
Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway). A meeting was held on July 24 regarding the aesthetic
treatment for the products, including recommendations on landscaping, trees, benches, etc. A
• representative from the City Arts Commission was asked to attend.
The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 4, 1996, 7:30 P.M. in the City Council
Conference Room. Although this will not be a park, because of the various items for discussion,
the Commission may wish to ask someone to attend the meeting.
The Project Manager is Lloyd Dalton, Public Works Department.
Co- Sponsored Procedures for Adult Sports - In response to Commissioner Dunn's,inquiry, the
only "co- sponsored" adult programs conducted by the Recreation Division are the volleyball and
flag football leagues and tournaments. When staff determines that there is a need for a program
and facilities are available, a qualified person is retained by contract to conduct the activity. This
person is required to sign a contract (entitled "Independent Instructor Agreement") and to supply
the City with a certificate of insurance. The "co- sponsoring" of a non - profit youth organization
has a different set of requirements.

TO - Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: Celeste Jardine -Haug, Senior Services Manager
SUBJECT: Senior Services Division - Monthly Commission Report
Transportation has been an increasing need in the Newport Beach cmmunity for sniors
and the disabled population. The Senior Division has spent the last year researching
possible sources of funding for an additional vehicle. Hoag Community Benefits
Department became the solution. Through a Hoag Health Partnership Grant, an
additional van and driver have been provided five days a week. The van and driver are
on contract with Western Transit Systems, but the coordination of the service remains
• with the Manager of OASIS. The expansion of this service will increase the number of
clients that we are able to service by one third.

Casino Night, which was held on August 10th, was attended by two hundred participants.
This fund raising event,which offered casino tables, silent auctions, food, music, raffles
and much more,raised $3900. Staff and volunteers worked very hard in creating a
spectacular evening despite the two hour black -out. Half of the money raised will be
used to finish outfitting the Computer Lab.
The Computer Lab has been busy with participants from the classes and people
practicing. The lab is set up with Internet through Compu -serve on a donated basis.
Coastline College classes will be starting up again in early September. Registration is
currently taking place. One of the new classes, a business class on how to make
investments, seems to be very popular. As usual, Line Dancing, World Geography and
exercise are filling up quickly.
OASIS is holding the annual Rummage Sale on, September 28 and 29. This event is
sponsored by the Friends of OASIS and the proceeds go to the special programs needs at
the Center.
