Association, Balboa Improvement Association, West Newport
Association, Balboa Merchants Association, as well as
Commissioner Hopkins and herself. Commissioner Cohen
reported that after considerable deliberation, the Committee
agreed that a recommendation should be submitted to the City
Council suggesting that it consider two alternatives: 1)
That the beaches be open until midnight as the present law
allows, with the provision of additional police enforcement
to carry out the vacation of the beaches;•or 2) That the
beaches be closed at 10:00 p.m. throughout the City to con=
form with the present closing time of the Corona del Mar
beach.
It was noted that the Balboa Merchants Association repre-
sentative opposed closing the beaches at 10:00 p.m. inasmuch
as beach visitors are potential customers for the area
•
merchants. In addition, the West Newport Community Associa-
tion opposes a time change as they feel a 10:00 p.m. closing
would be a burden to those residents desiring to use the
beach until midnight.
Lieut. Don Chandler of the Police Department appeared before
the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission to discuss the
procedures currently utilized by the Department in its
attempts to enforce the beach closure times. During the
course of his presentation, Lieut. Chandler commented that
the beach area of the City is divided into three beats for
which three officers are responsible. As time and circum-
stances permit, these officers try to enforce the beach
closure times. Often this enforcement is aided by the police
helicopter which Alerts appropriate police units to illegal
beach activity. In answer to a question by the Commission,
Lieut. Chandler explained the difficulty of estimating what
the additional cost to the City would be to effectively
secure the beach at 10:00 p.m., and also commented on the
present freeze on hiring additional police officers. In
answer to a Commission inquiry, Lieut. Chandler opined that
it would be easier to enforce a midnight beach closure time,
rather than a 10:00 p.m. closure time, since fewer people
would likely be on the beach. When advised that Sgt.
Fletcher previously commented that it would probably be easi-
er to enforce a 10:00 p.m. closure in light of the 12:00 a.m.
shift changes, Lieut. Chandler reported that overlap units
are available so that all officers are not taken off duty
at the same time.

Buddy Belshe of the Marine Department addressed the Commis-
sion and speculated that if the Department were to try to
enforce the beach closure from E Street to the Wedge, it
would take one more unit working from 9:45 p:m..to. midnight.
If they were to try to enforce the beach closure times
for the City's entire 6.1 miles of beach, Mr. Belshe esti-
mated that three additional units would be required.
Chairman Hopkins.invited public testimony and Charles Bauman,
2150 Miramar Drive, appeared before the Commission to urge
that additional beach signs be posted advising of the beach
closure time.
Motion

Following review, motion was made that the Parks, Beaches and

examine two alternatives: 1),That the beach from E Street
Nays

Abt

additional police enforcement; or 2) Consider closing the
beach at 10:00 p.m. to conform with,the closing of the Corona
del Mar Beach. In addition, that signs be posted on the
beach in the area of E Street to the Wedge notifying people
of the beach closure time. Motion carried.
Commissioner King requested,that the record.show that he
opposed the motion inasmuch as he was in favor of the
second portion of the motion, but opposed the first part.,
Item No. 6 - Theatre Arts Center Marquee
TAC
Marquee
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director Whitley reviewed the
background of this agenda item. During the course of his
presentation, Mr. Whitley reported,that a marquee has been
displayed at the Theatre Arts Center for a number of years.
In June of 1981, a petition was circulated in the neighbor-
hood, which was signed by eighteen residents, opposing
the degree of sign illumination. Mr. Whitley went on to
state that during renovation of the Theatre Arts Center, the
sign was removed for a six -month period. The sign has been
reinstalled and consequently a letter has been received from
Barbara J. Winston, along with a copy of the original peti-
tion, again opposing the subject marquee. Citing the respect
that staff has for both the Theatre Arts Center and neighbor-
ing residents, staff has elected to .eta,, neutral on this
issue and to leave the decision to the Parks, Beaches and
Recreation Commission.

Mr. Whitley then reviewed specifics relating to the sign,
focusing on staff's efforts to reduce the wattage of the
sign, the purpose of the marquee, size of the sign, as well
as the problems associated with relocating the sign to other
locations on the property.
Chairman Hopkins invited public testimony and Mr. and Mrs.
Winston, 2500 Cliff Drive, appeared before the Commission
and spoke in opposition to the marquee as they felt such a
sign is inappropriate in a residential neighborhood. In
addition, Mr. and Mrs. Winston commented that the enjoyment
of their home is diminished due to the light cast into their
home by the subject sign. Mr. Winston also alleged that a
traffic hazard is caused by the marquee since it is not
visible to Cliff Drive travelers until they are directly
opposite the sign: Mr. Winston deemed such a situation to
•
be dangerous inasmuch as cars often travel at a high rate
of speed around the curve on Cliff Drive and then suddenly
are distracted by the marquee. It was therefore suggested
by Mr. Winston that a new two -sided sign, angled at such a
way as to be visible to travelers on Cliff Drive, should
be erected. In addition to solving the alleged traffic
hazard, Mr. Winston doubted that such a sign would be
offensive to any of the area residents. -
James Slack appeared before the Commission on behalf of
Jerry Hastings, President of the Theatre Arts Center, and
voiced his opinion that the sign is inoffensive and neces-
sary for the continued operation of the Center. In rebuttal
to Mr. Winston's allegation that the sign creates a traffic
hazard, Mr. Slack opined that the sign is amply visible to
Cliff Drive travelers.
Greg Jessop, 2420 Cliff Drive, appeared before the Commis-
sion and spoke in opposition to a lighted sign at the sub-
ject location as he felt same to be contrary to the sur-
rounding residential area.
Discussion of this issue was deferred to the next meeting
of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission to enable
Commissioners to view the subject marquee and to allow staff
time to prepare a list of alternatives for the Commission''s
•
consideration.

Item No. '7 - Request for Use of_North Star Beach by.-Imua
North Star
Canoe Club _
Beach /Imua
Canoe Club
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director Whitley advised
that there are two separate requests before the Commission
this evening for use of North Star Beach -- one request
is from the Imua Canoe Club, and the other request is from
the Girl Scouts. Mr. Whitley reviewed that the North Star
Beach area went through a tentative agreement with a non-
profit corporation that proposed to build an aquatics
facility on the site that went to a vote of the citizens
of Newport Beach and was overwhelmingly passed. To update
the Commission on the status of the aquatics center, Mr.
Whitley advised that Bill Whitford has been invited to the
meeting.
Bill Whitford, a member of the non - profit corporation that
is building the aquatics center, presented a slide presen-
tation which depicts the plans for the aquatics facility.
Chairman Hopkins invited public testimony and Dennis
Campbell, Coach of the Imua Outrigger Canoe Club, appeared
before the Commission. Mr. Campbell advised that the Imua
Outrigger Canoe Club formerly used the Newport Dunes
for its operations; however, since the Dunes has received
approval to start construction of a hotel and additional
boat docks, they were asked to leave. Mr. Campbell advised
that the Club has considered numerous locations for their
operations, but feel that North Star Beach is their only
viable alternative. Since North Star Beach does not have
a parking lot„ Mr. Campbell advised that the Club members
could utilize the parking area in West Cliff Park (at
Polaris) and then walk the 3/10's of a mile to the beach.
It was noted that the parking lot has space for 30 -40 cars
which would accommodate most of their vehicles. During
the course of his presentation, Mr. Campbell commented on
their desire to not upset the adjacent residents, especially
in light of the planned aquatics center which will be taking
up full residence at the Beach. Mr. Campbell then reviewed
the operations of the Club, focusing on hours of operation-
and their need for a boat storage location.
Edwin Amies, Vice - President of the Dover Shores Community
Association, appeared before the Commission on behalf of
the Dover Shores Board. Mr. Amies commented that the Board
•
does not have a detailed plan before them and hence are
requesting that they be provided with such a plan prior to
Commission action. During his presentation, Mr. Amies
remarked on the significant foot traffic that would be
-5-

generated by the Club members parking so far away. Addi-
tionally, Mr. Amies voiced concern with the Imua Canoe Club
utilizing the North Star Beach inasmuch as it is polluted
and posted unsafe for swimming.
Bob Caminetti, 112 -36th Street, addressed the Commission
and urged that the Imua Outrigger Canoe Club be permitted
to utilize the North Star Beach.
Tom Hynes, 19th Street and Bay Avenue, appeared before the
Commission and spoke on behalf of the Imua Canoe Club,
advising that he has lived in the immediate area of the
Club and has found them to be generally good neighbors.
In answer to a question by the Commission as to his feelings
on the Imua Canoe Club utilizing the North Star Beach,
Bill Whitford commented that he is somewhat concerned about
the problems that might arise which may possibly cause a
•
disruption,of the aquatics center's progress.
A general discussion ensued with the Commission deciding
to continue this issue to enable the Imua Canoe Club to
prepare a specific proposal in re their request. Chairman
Hopkins urged that some effort be made by the Club to work
with the Dover Shores Community Association and Bill Whit-
ford in an attempt to remedy or alleviate concerns by the
involved parties. This issue will be placed on the Parks,
Beaches and Recreation Commission agenda for April 3, 1984.
Item No. 7(a) - Request for Use of-,North Star Beach by
North Star
Beach /Girl
Girl Scouts
Scouts
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director Whitley reviewed the
letter dated February 16, 1984 from the Girl Scout Council
of Orange County, which requests permission to utilize
North Star Beach for the weekend of May 18 -20, 1984. Mr.
Whitley explained that the City Council had originally
transmitted this request to the Tidelands Affairs Committee.
Consequently, the Tidelands Affairs Committee felt that
input from the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
would be appropriate. Mr. Whitley pointed out that the
•
North Star Beach closes at midnight and a waiver to permit
overnight camping would ultimately require City Council
approval.

Margaret Crawford', Volunteer with the Girl Scout Council
of Orange County, addressed the Commission to elaborate on
the Girl Scouts' request. During her presentation, Ms.
Crawford explained the reasons the Girl Scouts are request=
ing use of the site,, and stated that the Girl Scouts will
be providing their own water, toilet facilities, and cooking
apparatus. In addition, she advised that the Girl Scouts
would remove their own trash, and that the only water con-
tact would be for boating purposes. Ms. Crawford also
reported that the Girl Scouts plan to have a campfire on
Saturday evening which would take place in a large bucket
and hence not cause any area damage. With respect to
parking, Ms. Crawford stated that there would be a total
of 150 participants at the event and they would prefer to
park their vehicles on -site rather than on the street.

Item No. 8 - Commercial Use of Public Facilities
Public
Facilities/
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director Whitley reported that
Commercial
the City Council approved the Commission's recommendation
Use
with respect to Council Policy I -5, which relates to the use
of public facilities by religious and political groups.
During Council deliberation, it was questioned whether the
City's facilities should perhaps be available for use by
commercial groups for a profit- making situation. Council
Policy I -5 currently does not allow private gain to occur
on a public facility. Consequently, the Council referred
this issue to the Parks,-Beaches-afi& Recreation Commission
and_Depirtment forcconsideration and report back.
In light of the results of a survey conducted by Tom Line,
Mr. Whitley advised that staff is recommending, so as to
be consistent with other cities, that Council Policy I -5
be revised so as to permit the City's facilities to be made
available for commercial use with the stipulation that said
use be permitted as a last priority, and that the fee for
said commercial use be competitive with those fees charged
.
by other cities.
Discussion ensued relative to the revenue which may be
generated by such a revision of Council Policy I -5.

annual maintenance cost of $30,000 to $40,000, and an
annual utilities cost of $15,000 to $20,000.
A member of the Commission voiced concern with the possi-
bility of the School Board reopening the school after the
Community Youth Center was established in the facility.

DATE: April 3, 1984
TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: Theatre Arts Center Marquee

Retain'eXisting marquee at the Theatre in the present
location with lighting, or
Retain existing marquee at the Theatre in the present

Discussion:
,. The Commission reviewed at their meeting of March 6, 1.984 the request
of Barbara J. Winston, 2500 Cliff Drive, to eliminate the lights on the
Newport Theatre Art's Center marquee, 2501 Cliff Drive. This has been
an issue of concern to the community for about 3 years as evidenced by
the attached petition dated June 24, 1981. The Commission continued
this item to their meeting of April 3, 1984 to enable all Commissioners
to visit the site at night and observe the impact of this sign. Mr.
and Mrs. Winston have invited all concerned to view the sign from their

Mr. Rod Witley
Parks, Beaches & Recreation
Newport Beach City Hall
3300 Newport Boulevard
Newport Beach, California
Dear Mr. Witley:
Per your conversation with my husband February, 10th, I am notifying you
by letter of our community problems which have been brought on by the
community theater located at 2501 C1iff'Dri.ve. These problems started
before June 1981. Enclosed is a.copy of the signed petition stating
such hazards.
On a personal note: Over the past 2;j years we have been politely trying
to get the light turned off on the.neon marquee. Before the remodel, we
put in a request to the architect to at least relocate the sign to an area
that our living room and bedrooms would not be invaded by this commercial
sign. The light has not been on the past two months since a telephone
• call assured us that.the light would remain 'off!
Then boom! The light is on again! We walked across the street to ask them
to please turn it off. We were told the city councilOK'd the light last
Monday night and it was our tough fuck we didn't attend that meeting. How
could we attend a meeting that we had no knowledge oft After all, we
had been assured the light would remain,off. After explaining our problem
and showing them our petitions, they couldn't have cared less and told us
to go fight the city it isn't our problem. She also stated, "we don't '
live in your stupid community" and proceeded to push with physical force
against me to leave this "public park ". The woman's name is Carrie Fishbeck.
I have lived in this community for 'over thirty years and I care for the
streets and the safety of our residents. Why then is this public facility
rented to abusive and.self centered bullies who stated they couldn't care
less what impact they make in our 'community. This'violence is what we were
afraid of back in June 1981 as the petition stated.
Please, we aren't getting any younger and this slap in the face is hard to
take.
Sincerely,
Barbara J. Winston

DATE: April 3, 1984
TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: Dedicated Trees - Development of Criteria
Recommendation:
That the Commission should approve all requests for dedicated trees in
public parks. Suggested criteria:
1. That the person for whom the tree is to be dedicated
should have made a significant contribution to the
City of Newport Beach.
2. Size, species and location of tree to be planted
should be determined by the Park and Street Tree
Superintendent.
• 3. All plaques should be kept to a minimum size and
installed flush with the ground or other surface.
Discussion:
After study, it is felt by staff that if the request for a dedicated tree
does not meet the approved criteria that a tree may be planted in•a park
with no plaque or presentation requirements at a location determined by
staff.
It further is felt that staff and the Commission should encourage other
donations, i.e., benches, picnic tables, drinking fountains, outdoor
showers, etc. It may be prudent to develop criteria for this type of
donation.
Action:
1. The Demmer request (attached).
2. Mesa - Harbor Club request (attached).

Dear Mr. Whitley:
This letter will confirm our telephone conversation a few days ago
regarding my desire to purchase a tree and a plaque in memory of my
father, Adolph A. Demmer.
The tree that we discussed would be positioned in front of the re-
burbished scout house at Cliff Drive Park on Riverside Drive. Along
with the tree, I would like to place at its base a plaque, likewise
in memory of my father.
• I am hereby requesting that the•PBR Commission or Department approve
my request. I would fully expect to pay for the tree, as well as the
plaque, and will leave it up to the City's discretion as to•the type of
tree and plaque.
40
Attached you will find a sketch of the wording that I desire to have on
my father's plaque.
As you may recall, my wife, Gail, and several neighbors in the area did
much to reconstitute the scout house and to provide further input for
the development of the Cliff ,Drive Park on Riverside Drive. It is
because of her effort and my strong desire to honor my father in some
way that I am making this request.
Please advise me as to your decision, the cost involved, and what I may
do to assist the City in this endeavor.

Attached is a detailed plan for the use of a small portion of North

Parks, beaches and Recreation Commissinn:
As per your request, enclosed is a more detailed plan
for the use of North Stala Beach by the Imua Outrigger
Canoe Club. An area of 40' by 60' would be adequate for
the storage of our equipment. The canoes are only 22 "in
height so that a low profile would be maintained. we
request the use of this area from April 15 through Oct.15-
The hours of use would be from 5:330 P.M. to dusk.
Occasional morning workouts beginning after 7 A.M. when
necessary. The size of our membership varies from year
to year. The average being approximately 50 members.
We would be most happy to park in the public parking
facility three - tenths of a mile from North Star Beach.on
Polaris drive. we would thdn walk to and from the beach.
I have two alternative proposals for your considerationrdld
comment. Under the tuth side of the Pacific Coast Hwy. bridge
there is adequate area that would not infringe on the bike
route running through that would allow for storage and
• access to the water -for our canoes. The only problem that
we can see is parking. There is no parking allowed along
P.C.H. and Dover Drive. We have contacted the owners of
the business office property on 601 dover. P-ven though we
offered to pay for the parking privelege they rejected our
request. The ,other area we requested was the area under
the south side of the P.C.H. bridge. The owners De Anza
Corp. rejected our request,at this time. It would certainly
be appreciated if in�your capacity youu could intercede on
our behalf. Without your support the -canoe club with the
best overall record over the past 13 years will probably
never see the water this year.

Director,, Parks, Beaches, and Recreation
City of Newport Beach
Dear Mr, Whitley,
We the members of Imua Outrigger Canoe Club are requesting permission
to make our new home at the new 'aquatic recreation area' known as North
Star Beach.
Imua Outrigger team previously used the Newport Dunes for many years.
Newport Dunes finally got approval to start construction of a hotel and
additional boat docks so we were asked to leave.
Our club doesn't need very much space. 40' x 50' would be fine. We
don't require any construction of buildings or docks, just space on tle
beach. For example, one of our rivals, Newport Outrigger Canoe Club, uses
17th Street bay beach, and our requirements are similar to theirs.
The canoe season is from April to October, so if need be, we could
transport our canoes off the beach for the winter.
I£ you should have any questions, please call me at 833 -1207.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely

The Commission adopted a recognition program in 1980 that has the purpose
of honoring those persons or organizations who have aided the Parks, Beaches
and Recreation Department in obtaining their goals and objectives. This
prestigious awards has recognized many who have given of their time with
little or no monetary gain. Staff is recommending that the Commission
approve of two presentations for the meeting of May 1, 1984.
1. Dr..Dallas Long - Former Olympic Gold Medal winner has
actively been involved in our boys and girls track and
field program. His willingness to lead our clinic program
has added'a new spark and interest to this program co-
sponsored by the Newport Harbor Rotary Club.
2. Mrs. Burton Bettingen - Contributed to the John Wayne

DATE: April 1, 1984
TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: Street Tree Spraying Program
Background:
Recent major spraying programs in California, i.e., Mexican Fruit Fly, has
resulted in, an increased awareness by the public in the use of chemicals to
control insects and weed growth. Most everyone knows of the encounter in
Los Angeles with the use of Malathion applied by helicopter in the zone
identified as susceptible to the Mexican Fruit Fly.. In addition, the State
of California, through the Department of Food and Agriculture, has experienced
problems controlling and enforcing the use of pesticides. (See Exhibit I).
Our spraying program in Newport Beach
question its usefulness and'some are
eliminated. In an attempt to inform
described. With this data it will be
matter.
Spray Program:
has also caused local residents to
convinced it is dangerous and should be
and educate, our spray program is
possible to make future decisions on the
Our Spray Crew consists of two personnel: -One Pesticide Applicator and a
Groundsworker I. Both the Park and Street Tree Superintendent and the Pesticide
Applicator are certified by the State of California.
The Spray Crew applies pesticides on an as needed basis. Certain plant material
requires an annual application of pesticide for proper control. However, we do
not over apply or use the control measures unnecessarily.
There are 3 classifications of pesticides: Herbicides, Fungicides and Insecticides.
Insecticides are commonly known as being the most hazardous. We use four (4)
pesticides. (see complete listing - Exhibit 2) that are restricted materials„ two
being Herbicides and two Insecticides. We must call the Orange County Agricultural
Department 24 hours prior to using any restricted material. We must provide the
Agriculture Department the location, the material and the rate we are proposing
to spray. The County makes spot checks on our spraying program at unannounced
times. They also inspect our equipment and storage area annually as our permit
is renewed.
Our safety regulations and procedures originate from the Environmental Protection
Agency of the Federal Government, the State of California Department of Food and
Agriculture, and the manufacturer's label required on pesticides. We are required
to post in writing that our spray tanks contain contaminated water. This
procedure is misunderstood by the public as they often think we are spraying with
-2-
a dangerous poison when they see the truck tank with the required safety
identification. Our Spray Crew personnel wear protective clothing due to
the fact that they have di -rect contact with the chemicals on a daily basis.
This continued exposure requires safety protection under the guidelines of
the Occupational and Safety Hazard Act. The protective clothing is also
misunderstood by the public, with the most common question of, "If the
worker is protected, why aren't I ?" This, of course, is answered by the fact
that the applicator has approximately 2000 hours of exposure annually and
must be protected.
Our Spray Crew personnel are administered a scientific chemical level check
when they start on the Spray Crew. This procedure requires 3 separate testings
at different times. After this level is established., they are sent periodically
for level checks depending on the amount of .pesticides they have applied. In
addition, our personnel attend at least one educational seminar a year on
pesticide use.
The most difficult spraying operation we have is the spraying of insecticides
on our street trees. We post signs on the street trees at least 24 hours in
advance to notify residents of our intent. Our crew attempts to get cars moved,
windows closed, toys removed and people away from the spraying operation. We
are not always successful in this endeavor. The process is relatively quick
and any residual spray is not dangerous or a hazard to health. A list of
pesticides we use and the purpose is provided as Exhibit 2.
Issue:
10 The issue in our spraying program, or any spraying program, is the capability of
the pesticide to cause immediate or long term injury. Attachment 3 is a basic
analysis of Pesticide Toxicity. 'Our use is well below a level that would be
harmful to humans and /or animals.
Unfortunately, this issue is subject to interpretation and debate. Hopefully
through this information process we can begin a dialogue that will enable an
efficient spraying program to continue with the public understanding and trusting
the program methods and results.

Pesticide Toxicity
Toxicity defined is the capability of a compound
to cause injury.
In the use of pesticides, the level of toxicity of
most concern is the lethal dosage, or the amount of
the compound that will kill. This knowledge is of
importance in two areas. One, we are very inter-
ested in this value when developing a new material
for control of insects, plant diseases or weeds. The
second area of concern is the lethal dosage as it
relates to man and his environment.
The toxicity of any given compound varies as to
route of absorption, i,e., orally, dermally or by
inhalation, as well as to species, sex or age.
The term we use to most commonly designate
EXHIBIT 3
toxicity of a compound is LD50. This is the
amount of material required to kill fifty per cent
of a test population of animals. Tests are con-
ducted on a number of species of animals, but due
to certain basic similarities to human functions, the
results to laboratory rats are usually given. As there
is a variation in results due to sex, figures are given
for both male and female rats.
The LD50 figure given for a compound is in milli-
grams of toxicant to kilograms of body weight of
the test animals.
To lend meaning to this figure, one weight ounce
contains 28.38 grams or 28,380 milligrams. A kilo-
gram contains 1,000 grams, or 2.2 pounds as there
are 454 grams to one pound.
CLASSES OF TOXICITY
LD5o LD50
The question always asked by the man in the field
is, "How can we tell the toxicity of a material, or
at least get some idea of the toxicity without
having a chart handy?'
All pesticide labels must by law carry certain "sig-
nal words." These signal words give a good indica-
tion of the toxicity range of a compound.
The words DANGER, POISON on the center or
front panel of the label indicate the product is
highly toxic and the LD50 is in the range of less
than one to 50 mg. /kg.
)_ I
The word WARNING indicates the product is of
moderate toxicity and has an LD50 in the range of
50 to 5,000 mg. /kg.
A product that has only the words "Keep Out of
Reach of Children" and is not preceded by a signal
word has an LD50 greater than 5,000 and is rela-
tively harmless.
The LD50 ranges given in the above statements all
refer to oral LD50-

RECREATION DIVISION
MARCH 1984 PROGRESS REPORT
Aquatics and Sailing
Item No. 12
Aquatics and sailing programs should get into full swing with anticipation of
the summer program development. Recruitment is now taking place for lifeguard /'
swim instructors and sailing instructors. Testing for these positions will take
place on April 16 through April 21. Scheduling will take place for a 10 -12 week
summer.
Sailing registration for the spring is excellent. Some new and innovative sailing
classes are already sold out.this quarter.. One new class entitled "Lido 14's"
is the most successful sailing program yet. Mini brochures are being developed,
to advertise our spring program. There will also be an experimental one week
Easter program this year.
Swimming lessons are being offered for the spring season for the first time.
Sign -ups are excellent and staff is being scheduled. We hope to have swimming
lessons every spring.
Facilities
Meetings are taking place with youth groups in regard to facility use for the
• upcoming summer and fall programs. After these meetings permits will be sub-
mitted to schools for field use. Schedules for school and city facilities will
have to be coordinated through the Parks, Beaches and Recreation office.
The Mammoth Excursion is close to being closed out. There are very few spaces
open for registration and there should be no problem making this excursion go.
Youth Sports
The boys basketball program has just compl.eted its season in the Orange County
Championships. The City's 3rd and 4th grade teams from Andersen School, coached
by Scott Williamson, won the tournament for the second straight year. By winning
the tournament, the Andersen Schooi team qualified for the SCMAF Tournament on
April 7, 1984.
The City's track program looks very encouraging. Registration for the track meet
has passed the 200 registration mark. A clinic will be held on March 31, and
the City championships will be held at Newport Harbor Stadium on April 7. The
Newport Harbor Rotory Club will be providing volunteers and awards for the track
meet.
Adult Sports
Although the winter basketball leagues were just completed, new spring leagues
with 30 teams have just started up.
•Summer softball registration will begin April 2 to April 27. Classification games
will take place the week of May 14 and leagues.will begin May 28, 1984. This
year over 220 softball teams will be registered in,our program.
o�
f I
S'.a
Special Activity Classes
Spring classes will begin March 26. Registration has been excellent for most
of the contract classes. Fitness classes are still very popular and they fill
up the quickest.
Summer brochure work has begun already for this summer's program. Summer brochures
should be mailed out May 11. Hopefully, in the future brochure dates will be
developed one year in advance. This should prepare staff for meeting deadlines.
Various new classes should be initiated in the near future, especially with the
hiring of our new Recreation Supervisor, Nancy Beard. Camp Newport will
probably return along with new gymnastic classes, bicycle maintenance classes,
and children's arts and crafts classes. The Scout House on Riverside Drive will
soon be programmed with, hopefully, a wide range of activities..
The excursion to the Garment District is now filled. This excursion, which is
scheduled for March 31, should find many bargains for the shoppers. Another
excursion• is scheduled for May 5. This excursion to the Farmers Market and
Los Angeles Museum should be great fun. There are still openings for the trip.
Senior Citizens
Elections have taken place with the Friends of OASIS Board'members. Some Board
members were reelected but there is a new President, Mr. Ed Williams. Staff
will be meeting closely with Mr. Williams in the future in order to developea
cooperative effort between the Friends of OASIS and the City of Newport Beach.
• Classes are going very well at the OASIS Center. New activities include Contemporary
Issues led by O..K. ,Englund twice a month. There are new French classes taught by
Ed Forsythe on Fridays. Formation of a Shuffleboard'C1ub and Financial Planning
Seminars are being approached enthusiastically.
is
The Human Services Department helped out 49 people with their income taxes. This
service will continue until April 11. The Human Services Department is continuing
to help older adults with their problems, and their efforts are continuous and
needed.

All of these fees are based on a two hour minimum. These fees cover all of
the City's labor and maintenance costs. Commercial rates are revenue making
but do not at this time cover charges for electricity and insurance. Both of
these items can be looked into during the yearly review by the Department.

Parks., Beaches and Recreation Department
DATE: March 6, 1984
TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director
FROM: Recreation Superintendent
SUBJECT: Commer
a cial Use of Facilities
�
Listed below are the results of a survey that has just been completed concerning
commercial-use of recreational facilities. Nine cities were.contacted for the
purpose of asking them three basic questions:
1. Do they allow facility lease for commercial use?,
2. What is the commercial use priority for facilities?
3. What is the fee structure for commerciaa— groups?
An attachment to this memo is a schedule of program dates and times for the spring
quarter at all of our recreation facilities. This should give you an idea of how
much time would be open to commercial leasings.
Please keep in mind that the attached calendar is not a true reflection of available
times for leasing. With our new supervisor coming on board, all available resources
will be given her in order to establish classes and utilize dead time of facilities.
Space must be kept open for our own recreation programs.
Results
1. Santa Ana - Yes, they do lease facilities for commercial use. There is a priority
Tor commercial leases. These leases are last on the priority after recreation
programs,, youth groups and residents. At this time the fee structure for commercial
use is the same as other groups leasing a facility. This fee structure is'being
revised and will have commercial leases much higher than other priority lease
rates. There are different fee schedules for each facility.
2. Orange - Yes, they do lease facilities for commercial use. Commercial leases are
last on the priority list after recreation programs and residents. Fee structure
for commercial rental of facilities is much higher than other rental fees.
Facilities include one senior citizens center, three small recreation centers and
one pool.
3. Fullerton.- Yes, they do lease facilities for commercial use. Commercial use
ism on the priority of facility rentals. Fullerton has varying fee structures
with commercial use being the most expensive. Facilities leased are a museum,
cultural arts center, senior citizens center, two small park multi- purpose rooms
and one sports complex.
-2-
4. Anaheim - Yes, they do lease facilities for commercial use. There is no
priority for facility rentals. Facilities are leased on a first come, first
• serve basis. Fees vary for non - profit groups, residents,, non - residents and
commercial use. Commercial lease fees are much higher than other city lease
fees.
5. Fountain Valley - Yes, they do allow facility rentals for commercial use. The
priority is a first come, first serve basis. Fee structure for commercial use
as compared to resident leasings is much higher.
For example,
a) Resident - $143 for 4 hours; $52 each additional hour.
b) Commercial - $490 for 4 hours; $115 each additional hour.
6. C ress - Yes, they do allow commercial use of facilities. -Residents are allowed
to lease facilities six months in advance. Commercial groups can only lease
facilities 60 days in advance.
Example of fee schedule for city's auditorium:
a) Non - profit organizations - $15 for 4 hours.
b) Residents - $65 for 4 hours.
c) Commercial groups - $590 for 4 hours,
w7: Costa Mesa - Yes, they'do lease facilities for commercial use. The priority for
east —ing s that all city programs come first; then there is a first come, first
serve basis.
Example of fees for commercial rentals:
Neighborhood Center - Weekdays for a 4 hour period is $375 -$550. Weekends for
a 4 hour period is $425 -$650.
8. Irvine - Yes, they do lease facilities for commercial use. Priority for rentals
isa first come, first serve basis regardless of resident, non - resident or
commercial. Commercial rental fees are much higher than resident and non - resident
fees.
9. Huntington Beach - Yes, they do lease facilities for commercial use. Commercial
leasings are last on the priority list, with city programs first. Commercial
leases are more expensive than resident and non - resident rates. Fees range from
$25 -$70 per hour for commercial leases.
Most of the cities said that they had few commercial leasings, but when they did they
were revenue making and the group paid the exorbitant fees without question.

• CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
Marine Department
March 1, 1984
TO: PARKS BEACH AND RECREATION DIRECTOR
FROM: Marine Director
SUBJECT: GIRL SCOUT USE OF NORTH STAR BEACH
Background:
Attached is a copy from the Girl Scouts:requesting use of North Star
Beach on May 18th through May 20th. The City Council, on February 27,
referred the request to the Tideland Affairs Committee for review and
report back to the Council on March 12.
The 14arine Director discussed the request with Mayor'ProTem Phil Maurer,
Chairman of the Tideland Affairs Committee, and he has requested that the
Parks.Beach and Recreation Commission review the request at their meeting
of March 5 and report back to the Tideland Affairs Committee.
.
Discussion:.
I contacted Jillian P. Cruse, Director of Outdoor Programs for the Girl
Scounts, and she indicated that the request involved approximately 150
girls from 15 tMoops in grade brackets from 10th through 12th grade. The
use of the beach would involve possibly from 20 to 25 tents. The majority
of the events are land -side skills; ie, knot tying and First Aid. There
would be some small boat handling during part of the time,at North Star
Beach. The majority of the small boat events take place at the Newport
Dunes. In addition, swimming events are held at the Corona del Mar High
School. I indicated to Ms. Cruse that parking is a problem in the
North Star Beach area and that the number of automobiles should be
limited., She suggested that car pooling could take place and that there
would be no more than approximately 40 cars.
I have discussed the request with Dave Larsen, who coordinates the City's
Special Events. He suggested that a Special Event form should be filed
with the City. The North Star Beach is jointly administered with the
County of Orange. Mr. Bob Burke of the County of Orange, Central Permits
Division of the Environmental Management Agency, has advised the City that
they will rely on the City to coordinate and supervise the event, and
would issue a letter to the City should the City wish to approve the
request.
Is
�, 0.
• North Star Beach ('Park) is an unimproved parcel adjacent to Dover Shores.
Concerns that need to be addressed are the fact that this beach zone is
a day use area and is not currently designed for overnight camping.
Currently there is inadequate sanitation facilities for large groups.
There is no running water at the facility and potable water would have
to be brought to the site. The site is not readily accessed by emergency
vehicle. In that North Star Beach is surrounded by residential zones
with no off street parking facilities, parking could'be a sensitive
situation. A representative from the Dover Shores Homeowner's Association
should be contacted for their input. The Chairman of the Tidelands
Affairs Committee requested that the PB &R Commission consider whether
or not this request could-create a precedent for other overnight uses.
The County of Orange have had similar requests in the past and because
of their reservations and the possibility, of setting a precedent, have
denied, at Staff level, the requests.

Ms. Hart;
The Girl Scout Council of Orange County sponsors a special weekend
event each year called "GAM". This special Mariner event is for
our Senior Girl Scouts, where they test their Mariner skills in
friendly competition if th each other. `W4°
In the past, we have used the Newport Dimes as our camping sate.
Unfortunately, the cost is very high, which means that our girls
must pay a fairly high registration fee. Also, this year we will
^� have to share the Dunes with five other groups, which poses a
problem in security.and sharing one bathroom.
We would like to inquire about the useage of North Star Beach for
the weekend of May 18 - 20, 1984. I have spoken with Maggie Crawford,
our volunteer GAM Committee Chairperson about the possibilities of
using this site. If we were able to use this facility, we can
guarentee a "quiet" group encampment that would not disturb the
neighboring residential area, and be able to supply our own Aort-
a- potties, tents, water, cooking equipment, etc... Parking could
be limited if necessary.
We are basically looking for a beach environment in Newport to
accomodate our girls. Because this is a Mariner event, our site
necessitates. access to a beach.
Because of the time factor, we would appreciate your consideration
and a decision by March 2, 1984, if possible.
Your time is appreciated!
Sincerely,
.i
