Tree Reforestation – 935 Tiller Way Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Minutes June 6, 2017 Page 2 Consider the reforestation request of two City Bauhinia blakeana (Hong Kong Orchid) trees located at 935 Tiller Way and replaced at applicant’s expense with two 36” box Little Gem Magnolia trees. Director Pisani stated that item VI-A request was rescinded per applicant’s request. B. Tree Reforestation – 2118 Serrano Avenue Consider the reforestation request of two City Magnolia grandiflora (Magnolia) trees located at 2118 Serrano Avenue on Granada Avenue and replaced at applicant’s expense with two 36” box Draco Dragon trees. Landscape Manager Sereno presented the reforestation request and noted the project has been in process since September 2016. There is an encroachment and maintenance agreement for the parkway with the City since 1999, which makes it unique. They must retain the nonstandard parkway elements. The Magnolias are now too large for the space and will be replaced with Draco Dragon trees. Draco Dragons will be added to the City’s approval list pending Commission and Council approval. The trees have been located and possibly procured. Chair Marston confirmed that the first time the project was denied was because of process. Landscape Manager Sereno said that the damage had been to the parkway surface as the Magnolias are too large for the parkway. It is because of the easement that the trees affect private property. Chair Marston opened the public comments Bob Mueller stated that he has worked for Mr. Flowers for 29 years. He feels the City has bent over backward to accommodate Mr. Flowers. He noted that staff located and procured two Draco Dragons because they are difficult to find and would most likely have sold prior to the hearing. He provided pictures to the Commission of the trees. Mr. Mueller thanked the Commission for its time. Chair Marston closed the public comments Motion by Vice Chair Hayes, seconded by Commissioner Granoff to approve the reforestation request at 2118 Serrano Avenue. Motion carried unanimously with Commissioners Anderson and Englebrecht absent. C. Youth & Adult Sports Programs. Presentation by Recreation Supervisor Molly Patience. Supervisor Patience provided a PowerPoint presentation on Youth Sports Commission and Youth/Adult Sports programming to the Commission. Supervisor Patience explained that the sports selected are through a combination of the history of programs that have done well in the area and working with contract Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Minutes June 6, 2017 Page 3 providers to keep up with trends. The City has been looking to institute a Water Polo league with a contractor. Asked how many residents participate in the activities, Supervisor Patience explained the adult programs are more of a split where the youth are 75/25 residents. Supervisor Patience also explained the role of the contractors and the City oversight varied by sport. The City has oversight to assure issues are dealt with and audit the programs for quality assurance. Adult softball, soccer, and basketball are directly overseen by the City except for the contracted referees, umpires and field preparation services. Chair Marston opened the public comments; Hearing none the public comments were closed Chair Marston thanked Recreation Supervisor Patience for her presentation.

All costs associated to be the responsibility of NMSC. DISCUSSION: The demand for lighted fields in the City cannot be met with the current supply that is available. Due to shortages in fields with lighting, NMSC was not allocated any lit field space for the upcoming fall season. NMSC is proposing to utilize temporary lights at BCSP field #5 (see Attachment B). NMSC has been granted use of temporary lights at BCSP field #5 over the past ten years and has complied with all conditions. As a result, the City has received no complaints regarding the temporary lights. A layout of the proposed temporary lights is attached (see Attachment C). NMSC will continue to use the recommended metal halide bulb fixture and is proposing to use four light standards, two each placed at opposite ends of the field. This configuration will help NMSC move their practice areas around which will reduce wear on the grass. The four light standards will be positioned so as not to shine toward bordering residents as well. BACKGROUND: NMSC is a 501(c)3 club soccer organization that serves the youth in the Newport-Mesa area. Club soccer is an exclusive activity in which the players must be selected based on skill level in order to participate. The organization is in its 13th year of existence and has over 500 girls and boys in the program ranging in ages of 5-16 years old. The Recreation & Senior Services Department allocates athletic field space according to the Youth Sports Commission (YSC) Member Requirements & Field Allocation & Use Policy. Field use for practice and games is allocated to YSC-Open & YSC-Club Members, City led adult & youth sport programs and other community requests. There are currently eight lighted fields within the City.

Attachments: A. Letter from NMSC dated 6/14/17 B. Example of the Portable Light C. Layout of Lights D. Postcard with Aerial map June 14, 2017 Mr. Justin Schmillen Recreation Manager City of Newport Beach Dear Mr. Schmillen, Please accept this letter as a formal request from the Newport Mesa Soccer Club for the use of temporary lighting at Bonita Canyon Sports Park Field #5 in the City of Newport Beach. The Newport Mesa Soccer Club is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that serves children in the Newport- Mesa area. We provide a year-round, athletic, team-orientated experience for the community. Club soccer is often the next step for children who have progressed through AYSO programs and want to continue playing at a highly competitive level through their Jr. and Sr. High School years and possibly in College. The conditions we propose for our request are as follows: • Light fixtures: Four portable diesel-powered temporary lights, the type of which deemed acceptable to the City Recreation Department, as in prior years. Operated via security key. • Location: Two portable lights at each end of the field, positioned so as to not shine at the bordering residences. • Hours of Operation: Sept. 25 – Nov. 17, 2017 (8 weeks) and Jan. 2 – March 9, 2018 (10 weeks) from dusk to 7:55pm, weekdays only. Due to DST, the average daily light usage is projected to be minimal (1-2 hours/night, ending by 7:55pm). Historically, due to rain, we aren’t able to operate for 1-3 weeks during this part of the year. • Storage & Safety: During non–operational hours, the lights will be locked and stored in a location acceptable to the Recreation Dept. This will be our tenth year to use temporary lights at this field. We believe the City and local residents would agree that we have been good stewards of the City’s park. We work diligently with the Recreation staff, Park Patrol and our members to ensure the local residents are not inconvenienced. There just are not enough lighted fields in the city to accommodate our kids. These temporary lights provide a welcome, but less than ideal solution. At this time of the year, it gets dark as early as 4:50pm. Without lights, we would not be able to continue to provide this positive and healthy activity for our local youth. The need for organized and constructive after-school activities for adolescents cannot be over-emphasized. This field is an ideal location for temporary lighting as there are no homes adjacent to the property and a wide greenbelt surrounds the field -- minimizing the impact on the local residents. In addition, we strictly adhere to the approved hours of operation and we work diligently to be good neighbors. Thank you for your consideration. Mark Arblaster President Newport Mesa Soccer Club is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

City Council Policy B-9 states “Suggestions for naming new or existing parks or public facilities shall be reviewed by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission with a recommendation being transmitted to the City Council for approval.” While City Council Policy B-9 establishes a certain process for naming existing parks, it is within the City Council’s discretion to waive Council Policy B-9 if necessary. RECOMMENDATION: That the PB&R Commission: a)Consider/discuss the renaming of Balboa Island Park to Ralph Rodheim Park or The Ralph Rodheim Balboa Island Park and forward the recommended name change to City Council for final approval. OR b)Deny the request to rename Balboa Island Park to Ralph Rodheim Park or The Ralph Rodheim Balboa Island Park. Thus keeping the current name Balboa Island Park with no further action needed by the City Council. DISCUSSION: At the April 25, 2017 City Council meeting, Council Member Jeff Herdman asked his colleagues to refer the changing of the name of Balboa Island Park to the PB&R Commission in accordance with Council Policy B-9.

He established the winter, fall, and springtime Classical Music Concerts performed at St. John Vianney Chapel on Balboa Island. He also established Pop Concerts on Summer Friday Nights at the Balboa Island Park, free to all comers. As part of the Balboa Island Centennial Celebration, Ralph in collaboration with other Balboa Island Residents commissioned the group of original murals near the Balboa Island Ferry, depicting some of the Balboa Island and Newport Beach history. In addition, he chaired the committee that selected the sculptor to create the life size bronze, "Sunsets," of a couple sitting on a bench on the South Bay Front of the Harbor at sunset. Ralph Rodheim tirelessly sought to make life more enjoyable for all. It is for these selfless accomplishments that he should now be recognized for what he did for our community, by adding his name to this local park, thereafter having it become known as," Ralph Rodheim Park."
