Joint Meeting with City Counci
Ron Whitley reported that the City Manager asked that the
Commission meet with the City Council on Monday, December
1982 at 2:00 p.m., rather theh the originally scheduled
meeting on December 27, 1982. Discussion followed con-
cerning the fact it might be better to meet with the new
Council at a later date. It was decided to keep the date
of December 13 and at Morin's suggestion to invite Bill
Agee to this meeting. Ron Whitley will ask the City
Manager for the proper manner with which to issue this
invitation.
Cole recommended reaffirmation of our accelerated tree
trimming policy-as it relates to storm conditions be put
on the Council agenda. Ammerman recommended that the
Capital Improvement Proposals for FY 1983 -84 also be
placed.on the agenda omitting the item numbers. Motion was
made by Cohen to include these two items on the agenda.
Seconded by Ammerman. Motion unanimous.
III. 'DISCUSSION ITEMS
Item #8 - Capital Improvement Proposals for FY 1983-84
Ron Whitley explained that in the future we will need to do
a study on West Newport Park, but that we can implement the
basketball courts without the study. Chairman Stuart
opened the meeting to public testimony. Taylor Grant,
1985 Holiday Circle, addressed the Commission and thanked
the staff and them for upgrading Buffalo Hills'Park. Mr.
Grant asked that we .continue with this policy of refurbish-
ing existing facilities, more particularly repaving the
basketball courts and renovating the restrooms and sprinkler
Ron Whitley reviewed the original request to the City Counci
which was denied but set as a high priority item for
1983 -84. It was decided to ask the Council fora request
to reconsider funds for approval. Discussion followed on
the improvements. Stuart then moved this be placed as an
action item for the January 4, 1983 meeting, and that the
items of priority be established.

Item #9 - 32nd Street Parcel
Ron Whitley briefly reviewed the history of the 32nd Street
Parcel and said that the City Council determined that staff
is to continue to monitor this situation.
IV. INFORMATION REPORTS'
Item #10 - Recreation Division Report
Jeff Kolin reported one correction in the Recreation Report
under "Senior Citizens OASIS." The last sentence referring
to Harbor View Elementary School should be changed to
Andersen School. Cohen asked that we encourage the use
of the Theater Arts Center for all related theater pro-
ductions, however, Jeff Kolin said that this would cause
problems due to limited parking facilities.
Item #11 - Park Division Report
Jack Brooks stated we lost 42 parkway trees, which is a
very low amount, due to the recent heavy storm. Cole asked
that Jack prepare a report on the comparison of 'trees lost
and the approximate cost to clear and replant between the
Cities of Newport Beach, Irvine and Costa Mesa. He also
asked for a comparison of savings we incur which offsets
the increase in the budget for contracted tree trimming.
V. SPECIAL, URGENT OR LAST•MINUTE ITEMS
None.
