Some type of statement should Space E.1'ement be made on building space and meeting rooms. In•the West of the Newport location, building of significant size should be General Plan included in the General Plan. Staff report states: Item #1 - The intent is that we not have several smaller park sites, instead, have a large community park where recreational activities can be held. Item #2 - Recreational complex is of high priority and suitable lo'cations,are needed. Four lighted fields-would be less costly and more than enough for a population of 80;000. Item #3 - We can't maintain without additional dollars. Every':time you add five acres to the system you need one more person to maintain. Adoption of these policy statements should be given to the Planning Department Director.. Motion was made to approve these policy statements and forward them to the Planning Department for inclusion in the General Plan Amendment. Unanimous. Item 48 IIIPark Tour The date of the tour has been changed to November 7. Arrangements will be made for busses, and notices will'be sent directly to council members.

We have put together our first formal contract for tree trimming. The contract was approved by City Council and bids were accepted. Trimming will be done on Balboa peninsula and Clay Street. If all goes well we will contract for tree trimming again next year putting us on a two year tree trimming schedule. VI. SPECIAL, URGENT, OR LAST- MINUTE ITEMS: Item #11 Several months ago the West Newport Community Association protested that the West,Newport park tennis courts be lighted. We agreed that those courts would not be lighted and applied all funds available to us to light the four courts at San Joaquin'Hills park. In the process of obtaining a conditional use permit the Planning Commission, after reviewing this three times, denied that permit. Staff would like to take the grant fund of $45,000 and apply it to the Community Youth Center, The original funds that were allocated to refurbish the Center was $112,000. A combination of the funds would be $167,000 and additional funds would be added, if necessary, to tear down the Community Youth Center and scout houses behind CYC to build a new Community Youth Center. We are asking the Commission to support that concept and to bring this back to City Council. We will communicate with the State for the transfer of funds. Motion was made that the funds originally allocated for West Newport Park and San Joaquin Hills Park be designated to the existing capital improvement project for the construction of the Community Youth Center.

R .- C. - 2 - 11 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH PARKS, BEACHES AND RECREATION COMMISSION October 1, 1981 TO: PARKS, BEACHES AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation-Director SUBJECT: STATE FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR PARK DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND: With Commission and Council approval the Department has recently applied for 1,980 Park funds of $•241,326 to accommodate the proposed development of San Miguel Park in fiscal year 1982 -83. The parksite is currently being designed by -Lang and Wood Landscape'Architects through a funded Capital Improvement project this fiscal year. The estimated cost of developing San Miguel Park, a 7+ acre parcel, is $600,000. 'This requires a considerable match or funding by the City to complete-the project. For this reason, additional State funding availa- ble under the Roberti- Z!berg Urban Open Space and Recreation Program is • being recommended. The amounts available for'Newport Beach from the different accounts are as follows: Bond-Act - $48,552 General'Fuhd - $16,742 Energy•& Resource Fund - $ 6,697 This totals $71,991 to be combined with the $241,326 previously applied for to produce an over 50% funding source for the park development. RECOMMENDATION: Request the City Council to adopt a resolution authorizing the application of funds available through the Roberti- Z!berg Urban Open Space and Recreation program. Ronald A.

The reasons for this decision were based on the problems inherent with the trees vigorous root growth which cause sidewalk, curb, gutter, and sewer damage. We have removed ficus 'trees in the subject location over the past few months ,for the following reasons: 1. Crowded-conditions in many locations in the City where • small ficus trees have been' planted too close together. As "they grow the heads of the trees grow together, often becoming too dense for anything else to grow and ruining the shape of the trees. 2. Extensive damage to sidewalk,-,curb,; and gutter is common for the ficus tree as they have aggressive and shallow root systems. 3. Damage to private property such as patios, walls, and sewers. 4. Incorrect plahting such as on top of or too close to sewer lines, light standards., driveways, intersections, and water lines. Although the Ficus Nitida grows well it is a problem tree for the following reasons: 1. Damage from root systems 2. Fast growing (requiring frequent trimming) 3. Host for Cuban Laurel Thrips 4. Can produce high amounts of berries To provide you with an analysis of recent removals the following location, date of removal, -and reason for removing i•s listed. In all cases the re- quest has been made and actively pursued by the adjacent property owner. 41 1 PBR COMMISSION Page 2 • October 1, 1981 And, there has been considerable work performed by this Department and the General Services Department on other tree,-problem areas that have not resulted in removal, i.e., sidewalk repair, ramping, and root pruning. When we have removed trees, when possible, replacement trees have been Cupaniopsts Anacardioides, Magnolia Grandifl'ora, and Metrosideros Excelsus. This Department appreciates trees as much as any environ- mentalist.' We do not have a program of denuding an area of its plant material. However, we have'been forced'to take a practical approach to problem solving that considers costs, efficiency, liability, and concern for public welfare.

The City's 75th Anniversary, fall programs, and normal administrative tasks have added up to a very demanding month. The staff of the division, recreation supervisors, secretaries, and recreation leaders have all done a superb job of coordinating the 75th Anniversary events. Each activity was successful and few,'ff any, problems were encountered. Although staff is glad to see the final event completed, we also feel alot of pride having coordinated the City's Anniversary celebrations. A sepalrate evaluation of the individual 75th Anniversary events conducted by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department will be completed and submitted to the Commission next month. Many of the events initiated for the City's Anniversary will be evaluated for annual events. FALL SESSION: Special Activity Classes, Sailing -and Tennis The fall program began on September 14, Registration for fall programs was slightly higher compared to last year. Staff is recommending starting next falls program one week later to allow for publicity through the schools. We presently start at the same time as local schools. • The sailing program continues to enjoy increased participation. Many classes are filled to capacity. The Sailing Club has been refined so that the problems encountered this summer will-be corrected. The main changes are a limited number of members and a beach supervisor during the club hours. The tennis program continues to experience a slow but steady decrease in registration. Staff will be evaluating the program and possible alternatives'for increased participation. Resurfacing has-been completed on the tennis courts at Mariners Park and the Community Youth Center. A budget amendment will be requested to complete resurfacing on the San Joaquin Hills Park courts. The West Newport Park courts will be done in the-next fiscal year. Youth and -Adult Sports Adult basketball and softball leagues are being organized for the fall. Spots for 36 basketball teams and 24 softball teams are available. We anticipate that all leagues will fill. Registration for youth flag foot- ball is also underway. Teams have been organized at six areas in the City. Games will be starting this month. Senior Citizens Oasis was actively involved in the City's 75th Anniversary.
