June Joint Meeting with Costa Mesa Parks and Recreation Department.
Charles Massengill, Newport Harbor Baseball commented that because of Measure A
many of the school fields are unavailable.
Marce Almaraz, AYSO 57, stated that all the groups need to work together and but the
8% to not allocate is much to high as it equates to two fields, should be lowered to 5%
which is equivalent to about one field.
Aaron Reyes, Newport Harbor Baseball, stated that they have seen a tremendous
increase in registrations for baseball and that they are having to refund families
because of the field shortage.
Chair Allen closed the public discussion.
• Director Knight stated that staff feels that 8% of the available fields must not be
allocated and used for maintenance rotation, community use and other items not
anticipated on an as needed basis. These fields will be reallocated to qualifying
organizations as they become available based on the allocation formula. She noted that
it is hard to disagree with AYSO as they are very supportive of staff but feels that it is

be discussing the G -1 Policy as it clearly stated in the City Council minutes. She asked
the Commission to remember that Newport Beach was not always a 'Tree City" and
should be recognized as a "View City."
Director Niederhaus stated that there are conflicts in the G -1, G -3, G -6, L -2 and L -6 and
• that is why it is important that they all be reviewed.

•came together to host the "first ever" intergenerational table tennis tournament. Table tennis, a
game played by all ages, is popular both at the Senior Center and at the Youth Center. Why not
bring the two groups together for a little friendly competition. To spice up the event, pizza was
served. This fun afternoon was held at OASIS on April 30. Twelve seniors and 12 children had a fun
time playing and interacting.
Intergenerational Activities- In an effort to assist youth in their educational pursuits, staff is
working with the Rotary Club to recruit seniors to be tutors at Monte Vista and Back Bay Alternative
School. We know that there are some intelligent people in our senior community that have time to
donate to children that need help. Through our intergenerational program efforts we are looking
for tutors. The High School project is lead by the Rotary Club and would need people who are good
in Math, History or English. In most cases, both youth and seniors gain from this exchange of
knowledge and opinions.
Coastline College Budget Concerns - Due to budgetary crunches at Coastline College, the Center
will not be able to offer many of the regular classes held in the past. Staff has been working to
keep these classes going during the summer. A proposal was made to the Friends of OASIS to see if
they would subsidize some of these classes so that participants these classes could remain without
cost. At the last Board meeting, the Board agreed to subsidize (at $3,350) for part of the summer,
staff will put the instructors on contract to cover the remaining portion. Staff is always grateful to
have a support organization to assist the Center in the pursuit of providing quality programming.

• RECREATION & SENIOR SERVICES DEPARTMENT
TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: Marie Knight, Director
Recreation and Senior S epartment
SUBJECT: Exclusive Beverage Agreement
ISSUE
To gamer input on a proposed Exclusive Beverage Agreement for vending machines in and near
City recreational facilities.
DISCUSSION
The Recreation & Senior Services Department currently has five soft drink vending machines that
are serviced with Coke products. The annual commission received from these machines is 15% of
the sales or approximately $1,000. These machines are located at Bonita Creek Park, Grant
Howald Park, and the West Newport Community Center.
In November 2001, City staff, looking for ways to increase revenues and programs without
increasing fees, contacted representatives from both Coca -Cola and Pepsi to discuss expanding the
current service contract into an exclusive vending agreement. The goal would initially be to service
anywhere from 60 — 90 locations, mainly in parks, community centers and near the beach.
Numerous cities in the Southern California area have forged exclusive beverage agreements in the
past several years with either Coke or Pepsi (Huntington Beach, Long Beach, Orange, Garden
Grove, Lancaster, San Bernardino, San Diego, Pasadena, Oceanside, and soon Lake Forest to
name a few). These agreements have generated both increased revenue and marketing
opportunities for these cities. Coke was the only company to respond positively to our inquiry.
By taking the proactive approach and working with Coke directly, the City will avoid having to pay a
commission to a third party consultant to broker the agreement and the mark -up costs from a
distributor.
Background
Through a series of meetings with City staff and Coke representatives, staff has been able to
negotiate an agreement that goes beyond simply just stocking the machines and incorporates other
opportunities such as branding the City with a highly visible product such as Coke. This 10 -year
agreement includes the following points:
• The number of machines installed and serviced by Coke will begin at 65, with the potential
to increase as needed. (Please see attached proposed site locations.)
• The annual commission rate will increase to 35% of all sales with a guaranteed commission
of $100,000 annually for years one and two and then straight commission for years three
through ten, estimated to be $97,000 per year.
• Up front marketing funds of $65,000 and an additional $10,000 per year in years three
through ten to be used for such things as park refurbishment projects, water quality or
. environmental education programs, expanded Recreation programs, as well as scholarships
for Recreation programs.
• Customized Vending Machine fronts to highlight different aspects of life here in Newport
Beach such as the beach, retail, recreation etc. (See attached sample copy.)
Exclusive Beverage Agreement
Page 2
• ❑ All installation costs (electrical and concrete pads) will be paid for by Coke.
. ❑ Incentives for future referral to other businesses
❑ This Agreement only applies to those machines placed at designated locations. This will not
obligate the City to have any future machines as part of this program unless desired.
❑ This Agreement does not obligate any other merchants or vendors in the City to retain Coke
exclusively nor does it pertain to other City Departments unless they desire to join the
partnership.
❑ In working with Coke on offering beverages at City parks and other recreational locations,
we will have a wide variety of product to choose from. In addition to carbonated beverages,
Coke distributes many varieties of juices and water products. We will be able to choose
beverages that we feel are best suited to each location.
At this point, staff is still ironing out some of the final details. Staff has met with representatives from
the Police Department to discuss the proposed placement of the machines in order to mitigate
vandalism and will be incorporating their input as we move forward. In addition, Coke
representatives are working to address potential concerns that some of the beach area retailers
may have regarding a perceived loss of business and revenue. They have been meeting with
individual owners and operators and will be crafting proposals in order to address their needs
separately. We have also met with representatives of both of the Chambers and the Conference &
Visitors Bureau to gamer their input as well and discuss how this partnership may also benefit their
organizations.
• Commission Input
At this time I am asking for input from the Commission in the following areas:
Location - Please review the attached list of proposed locations and let staff know if there are
any concerns or issues with those locations or if you feel there are other city controlled locations
not listed that may lend themselves to this project.
Use of Funds - The goal is to utilize the increased revenue from this agreement in three areas:
70% for expanded recreational programs, 15% for Water Quality Education programs, and 15%
on Environmental Education programs mainly addressing recycling issues.
Staff anticipates that a report for this program will go to City Council for a Study Session discussion
in June or July.

RECREATION @ SENIOR SERVICES DEPARTMENT
To: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
• From: Andrea McGuire, Recreation Superintendent
Re: Request from Back Bay Rugby Football Club
ISSUE
A. Should the City approve a Special Event Permit for the Back Bay Rugby Football Club who has
secured an alcoholic beverage company as their major event sponsor?
B. If approved, should they be allowed to post signage with the sponsors name at the event?
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has no recommendation on this item.
Background
The attached letter from the Back Bay Rugby Football Club, forwarded from Mayor Bromberg to the
Commission in April, requests a Special Event Permit for a Rugby Tournament that will advertise their
alcohol sponsor.
Two Council Policies deal with this situation:
• B -8 - Bike. Foot Race and Surf Contest Policv
"No permit shall be issued for any race, running event, surf contest or athletic contest which is
sponsored or financially supported by a tobacco or alcohol company..."
Policy B -8 specifically addresses the issue of alcohol sponsors for athletic contests, which would
• include a rugby tournament. The term athletic contests was added to the bike and foot race
policy to cover things such as triathlons, swim races, walkathons and other events that have begun
to be popular. The limit to 12 activities was intended for those activities that significantly drain
City resources and use City streets for foot and bike races or triathlons. This event is an athletic
contest (rugby tournament), but will not use City streets or block access.
signage for alcohol or tobacco is
Council Policy B -14 is specifically directed at co- sponsored activities, although this event is not
cosponsored by the City it could be argued that anyone reserving the use of City facilities would be
viewed as a City event.
The original policy was amended in 1986 after beer was served at the end of a race causing some
problems and resulted in formal complaints to the City. The policy originally referred to bike and foot
races, but was amended in 2000 to include surf contests and athletic contests.
Although the letter claims that tournament has been held for the past 6 years, staff only has evidence
of reservations at Peninsula Park for the past three years and not for a tournament. John Abbott of
Back Bay Rugby stated that the Club is transitioning from a "local's only" informal tournament to a
more formal, large tournament that will attract 16 -20 teams. For this tournament the Back Bay Rugby
Football Club has obtained Straub Distributing Company as their major sponsor.
Their Special Event Permit request is for the beach area west of the Balboa Pier, at the Adams Street
end. They plan to set up two fields for the weekend. In the past the tournament was conducted on
the field at Peninsula Park. If the requested signs were permitted, they would be on the beach.

Back Bay Rugby Football Club
"Home of the Sharks"
Dear Mayor Bromberg and Council Members,
The Back Bay Rugby Club will be holding its annual Ts tournament on the Balboa
Peninsula during the weekend of September 20th. We have been organizing and
holding this tournament for over 15 years at the Peninsula Park field as a primary
fundraiser for our season. This year, the tournament will be held on the sand west of
the parking lot at the Balboa Pier.
We have had meetings with the Fire Department and Recreation Department to
discuss our intentions and how we can work with the City in making this event a
success for all parties. We are sensitive to the City's concern that the residents are
not adversely affected by our tournament and will work with closely with them to
guarantee an enjoyable weekend for residents, participants and spectators.
Our major sponsor for the event is Straub Distributing Company (Amber Bock Beer
Brand). As part of their sponsorship, they would like to put up signage around the
fields. We understand that the City prohibits any signage for alcohol or tobacco. We
are requesting a waiver for this event and would like to work with the City on the size
and amount of the signage.
Back Bay RFC has been a member of the Newport Beach community since 1968
when graduates of UC Irvine started the Club as the Newport Rugby Club. We have
been active with the Newport Harbor Chamber of Commerce as volunteers for the
Taste of Newport as well as with Children's Hospital and the Ronald McDonald
House.
We would welcome an opportunity to discuss with the City
tournament will operate and the precautions we have taken
residents and City are not inconvenienced.

The Back Bay Rugby Club is preparing to hold their annual 7's tournament on the
• weekend of September 20th. In the past we have held the tourney on the grass
at Peninsula Park and have worked with the Parks Department to secure the
permits. This year we have changed the format from a grass fields to sand and
would like to move the venue to the area west of the large parking lot off Palm
Street. In discussing this with the Parks Department, they requested we submit a
special event permit. Along with the permit and a site plan, we have included the
following information on our execution of the tournament.
Site Plan
The area we are requesting to hold the tournament is the sand along the
boardwalk adjacent to the parking lot at Adams Street and Palm. We will be
setting up two fields that measure 50yds x 25yds each. One field will be along
the retaining wall next to the parking lot and the other field will be perpendicular
to the first, it will be adjacent to the fire pits. There will be a registration tent set
up along the boardwalk in the corner next to Adams Street. There will be tents
placed across from the first field with their backs to the dunes. The tents will be
placed here to prevent participants and fans from walking on the vegetation. The
dunes will be cordoned off with tents and banners. There will be banners placed
on the tents and palm trees. One of the tents will be for water and first aid and
the balance will be for sponsors. We will not be serving food or alcohol, we
prefer the participants frequent the many vendors nearby. The layout allows for
a wide area for beach -goers to get from the boardwalk to the surf easily.
Banners
Back Bay Rugby has many sponsors and we would be hanging their banners at
the tournament. The banners will not exceed 3' x 5' in size. We would be
hanging the banners off the canopies and the existing volleyball posts as well as
the palm trees adjacent to the parking lot. The Clubs primary sponsor is Straub
Distributing /Amberbock and they have requested putting up banners at the field.
Canopies
We will be using some canopies for the weekend. We anticipate putting up
between 3 and 5 canopies. The majority will be directly in front of the dune with
the vegetation and a single canopy will be along the boardwalk. The canopies in
front of the vegetation will be for sponsors and first aid /water station. The canopy
along the boardwalk will be for the tournament registration and scorer's table. A
concern the City has brought up is the potential damage to the nearby
vegetation. By placing the canopies in front of the vegetation they will act as a
barrier to any player or spectator.
Marketing Plan
•
The Club has been holding the tournament for the past 15 years on the field at
• Peninsula Park and has been advertising it locally to all the rugby clubs in
Southern California as well as placing ads in the national Rugby magazine. We
have it listed on the Club's website, www.backbayrfc.com, and hotline, 949 -675-
6799. The Club is a member of the Newport Harbor Chamber of Commerce and
has announced the tournament in their monthly newsletter.
Notice to Community
The Club met with the Fire Department and Parks Department and were
informed that we would be required to distribute flyers to the homes on the
boardwalk between Palm and Adams notifying them of the dates and time of the
tournament at least a week prior to the event. We will submit copies of the flyers
to the City for approval if requested. Since there are volleyball posts in the area
we will be holding the tournament, we will be posting notices there as well.
Trash Removal
We will be using Club members to pick up trash at the end of both days as well
as monitoring the event to see that participants keep the area clean. We will be
dropping all trash in the blue trash bins located near the fire pits.
Amplified Sound
We are aware of the sensitive issue of noise on the beach and the City's concern
of upsetting the homeowners. With that in mind, we would request the use of a
bullhorn used to only announce games. The bullhorn would be used at the
canopy along the boardwalk and would be directed away from the homes and
towards the ocean.

that position. Mr. Whitley then presented a plaque to
Chair Wolfe on behalf of staff and the Commission for the
fine job he did this past year. Chair Wolfe thanked the
Commissioners and said they were a great group toswork with
Seating of the Commissioners then took place.
Item #7 - Request to Prohibit Sponsorship of Foot Races by
Alcohol and /or Tobacco Companies
Ron Whitley reported that, although there is no written
policy, the City has never had an event sponsored by a
cigarette and /or alcohol company. The Special Event proces
approving all permits is through the Finance Department
rather than this Department.
Mr. Lars de Jounge, 208 Marigold Avenue, Corona del Mar,
addressed the Commission. Mr. de Jounge expressed concern
over beer being served to minors at the Spring Tune Up Run,
which was sponsored in part by Miller Brewing Company. Mr.
de Jounge ran the race and said he had a hard time finding
anything else to drink. It is Mr. de Jounge's opinion that
it is not good to drink beer immediately after a race; and
that since beer and tobacco are unhealthful, they should
not be associated with sports events.
Following questions and discussion, Mr. Whitley referred
to Policy I -21, Bike and Foot Race Policy. A condition
could be added that prohibits such events from having
cigarette and alcohol sponsorships.
Mr. Sam Johnson of Ford Aerospace Corporation, which
sponsored the Spring Tune Up Run, addressed the Commission.
He explained that the largest drinking area, which was for
beer, was at the suggestion of the Newport Beach Police
Department. There was a water station at the end of the
finish line and soft beverages were also passed out.

Mr. Johnson answered questions and noted that out of the
1600 runners, only 50 were in the 16 -20 year age group.
He explained how the beer was dispensed and controlled with
the help of the Police Explorers and Police Department.
Attendance was up by 250 this year and they have had no
complaints in the past six years of running the race. He
also mentioned that many runners like a cold beer when
they have finished a race.
Mr. Dick Power, Executive Director of the Harbor Area Boys
Club which helped sponsor the race, addressed the
Commission. He explained how beer was dispensed and, if
there was any question as to age, the individual was turned
down. He said he felt the race was well run, precautions
taken, and the roped area for beer properly guarded.
Mr. Lou Yantorn, Resource Development Director of the Boys
Club, addressed the Commission. He said he felt the Spring
Tune Up Run is a first class race and not demeaning to the
•
youth of the community in any way. Mr. Yantorn reported he
has never seen any kind of poor conduct in the past six
years and feels the Ford people put on an event of which
everyone can be proud.
Mr. Carol Kamper, 1329 Santa Ana Drive and a member of the
Board of Directors of the Orange County Board of Cancer,
addressed the Commission. Speaking on behalf of the
Orange County American Cancer Society, Ms. Kamper recom-
mended races not be sponsored by tobacco companies, however,
she said that they would not be opposed to beer being
provided if it is only served to adults.
Upon the close of Public Testimony, discussion followed
concerning such ideas as prohibiting dispensing but not
sponsorship; not having sponsorship if minors are participa-
ting; the philosophy of free enterprise, etc.

to retain the tree because of its value.
Mr. Dick Burns, 236 Heliotrope, addressed the Commission.
He feels that the tree should be saved since it is so
•
large and beautiful. In addition, it is his understanding
all local residents are to be informed when a tree might
be removed.
Mr. Whitley clarified tree policy stating the local home-
owner associations are notified when a tree removal is to
take place. However, since Corona del Mar has no official
homeowner association, Mr. and Mrs. Jim McDonald represent
Corona del Mar on the Street Tree Subcommittee. Mr.
Whitley also noted that the tree was recently root pruned
on the sidewalk side (property owner's inland side) to
appease them and still allow the tree to be retained.
Commissioner Herberts added that she talked to residents in
the area and they love the tree and want it saved.
Commissioner Konwiser suggested the tree be pruned since it
is worth a lot to the residents and they want to keep the
tree. Jack Brooks replied that since they are mature trees,
they will be trimmed lightly.
Commissioner Brenner moved the parkway tree at 220 Helio-

I hereby request that you forward to the City Council Members
• my suggestion that a City Ordinance be adopted that will
prohibit any Tobacco or Alcohol company from sponcoring sports
events in our city.
I am enclosing a copy of my letter to Spring Tuneup Run, to give you

comply.

cc Letter dated 5 4 86
Lars de )ounge -
Now I Instead got a firsthand opportunity to see what happens. About Bam
the 5-K runners are getting back from thel•r run and what is there to drink.
The largest area the prime first 4 is for beer only. You have to search hard
to find anything else to drink. By the time i made it back after my race
there was about 2/3 of the racers drinking beer because they had no other
choice. Many were obviously under age, 1 request that you in future years
keep an event like this free from alcohol and your youth will not n
be unnessecarily - tempted to start a morning with ^drinking beer on empty stomach.
I would like to make a few more comments. When we run most of us would
throw=,, the watercups in a drum or a trash bin if provided. The watering
places looked terrible for a fellow like me who is at the end of the race.
Same thing applies for the starting /goal area. There were a few dumpsters
but far too few trash bins. If you have plenty of bins and request a couple of
times over the luod speaker you will see that the American youth Is not
as messy as you now make them out to be.

from the Consent Calendar at this time,
regarding the proposed amendment to
Council Policy 1 -21 Bike and Foot Race

Report from Parks, Beaches and
Recreation was presented.
Mr. Morrissey, a representative of Ford
Aerospace, Newport Beach, addressed the
Council and stated that they sponsor a
foot race each year with the proceeds
going to charitable organizations such
as the Boys Club, Girls Club, Assessment
Treatment Services Center, Explorer
Scouts, Cystic Fibrosis, etc. He
continued that FordAerospace spends
approximately $10,000 of its money each
year to conduct the race. He added that
they have done a number of surveys as to
what brings people out to the race, as
the higher the attendance, the bigger
the proceeds for charity. He stated
that the race has been conducted for
some years without any problems, and one
of the comments that the racers put on
the survey form as to what are some of
the things they like about the event, is
that they could get a glass of beer
after the race. Mr. Morrissey stated
that one individual in the City hms
taken exception to this and has alleged
that there are all kinds of bad things
- happening because of this. Mr.
Morrissey assured the Council that they
have not noticed any of these bad

things, and that they have adults and
the Explorer Scouts monitoring the
areas.
Mr. Morrie -ey stated he believes this
restriction could make the race less
attractive and would like the City
Council to not adopt this position. He
also state(! that there are many other
events held within the City where
alcoholic beverages are served, and this
is one they would like to see continue
for them to attract a crowd and be a
competitive race.
Council Member Agee commented on the
fact that Lars de Jounge was the person
who asked that the Parks, Beaches and
Recreation Commission consider this
restriction be imposed, and Mr. de
Jounge had already left the Council
meeting with the feeling that this
particular subject would not be
discussed further, as the item was not
removed from the Consent Calendar by the
City Council. Council Member Agee
stated that he had no objection to a
beer, alcohol or tobacco company
sponsoring a sports event, but did not
agree with the necessity to dispense
their products to the public at these
events.
*on Talley, 1870 16th Street, Newport
Beach, Executive Director of the
Newport -Mesa Girls and Boys Club
addressed the Council stating that this
.item was brought to her attention by
Ford Aerospace, as her organization
depends upon donations from corporate
and service groups and fund raisers.
She commented that her group of boys and
girls are there to hand out the orange
slices and water to the runners, and
that she hadn't observed any beer
drinking by the runners until after the
race. She also stated she has received
information that the forthcoming Back
Bay Run in December is expected to raise
less for charity if the City takes the
position that no alcohol, or tobacco
products be dispensed at sports events.
Motion was made by Council Member Agee
that Council Policy 1 -21 Bike and Foot
Race Polic -i be amended to include a
condition that no dispensing of alcohol
or tobacco at Bike or Foot Races
conducted on City streets, beaches or
parks, which motion FAILED.
