ACTION ITEMS Item No. 5 - Proposed Modification of Beach Closure Times Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director Whitley reviewed the background of this agenda item, advising that at its last meeting, the Commission directed that a Beach Closure Commit- tee be formed to study the issue of possibly modifying the beach closure time and /or the necessity for additional enforcement efforts. Commissioner Cohen reported that the Beach Closure Committee met on February 28th. Participants at the subject meeting included Mr. Bauman, Mr.,and Mrs. Mitphell (Wedge area residents), representatives from the Peninsula Point Call to Order Roll Call Minutes/ 2/7,/84 Agenda/ Adoption Beach Closure Times CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH P Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission NG MARCH 6, 1984 ;2 20��gj�n�� City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX 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. -2- CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH P Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission 0-)A MARCH 6, 1984 '2 0�OA City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX 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 x Following review, motion was made that the Parks, Beaches and Second x Recreation Commission.recommend to the City Council that it Ayes x x x x examine two alternatives: 1),That the beach from E Street Nays x to the Wedge be open until midnight with the provision of Abt x x 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. -3- CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission �G MARCH 6, 1984 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX 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. -4- i CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH P Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission N 2 G MARCH 6, 1984 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX 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- CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH P Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission \\-�P�(P\Ak MARCH 6, 1984 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX 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. -6- CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH P Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission aG MARCH 6, 1984 2 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX 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. Motion x- Motion was made that the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Second x Commission endorse the Girl Scouts' usage of the North Ay � x x x x Star Beach from May 18 to 20, 1984 with conditions speci- Nay x fied, which motion carried. Absent x x 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. -7- CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission o - �G MARCH 6, 1984 City - Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Motion Second Ayes Absent x x x x x x x x x Motion was made that the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission approve staff's recommendation, which motion carried.

In addition Benihana of Tokyo is requesting that a permanent plaque be erected noting the occasion and that a City proclamatio be issued commemorating "Benihana Day."

The lease:cost would be approximately $120,000 per year, in addition to an 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. Mr. Whitley apprised the Commission of another alternative they may wish to consider, i.e., recommending that the School Board adopt a policy requiring that lessees allow continued public utilization of the facility. Mr. Whitley agreed to keep the Commission informed on this issue. IV.

ADJOURNMENT Adjournment There being no further business, the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission adjourned at 10:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, 6 nne M. Baade Recording Secretary -11- Item No. 6 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH • Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department DATE: April 3, 1984 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director SUBJECT: Theatre Arts Center Marquee Alternatives: Retain'eXisting marquee at the Theatre in the present location with lighting, or Retain existing marquee at the Theatre in the present location without lighting, or Relocate existing marquee to the rear of the Theatre, or Remove marquee from Theatre. 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 residence if you wish. The Theatre Arts Center marquee is 54" x 72" and is lighted by (4) 6 ft. Sylvania "Cool Lite" fluorescent tubes. The lights are on a timer that goes on at, 5:30 P.M. and off at 12:00 Midnight. One of the (4) four bulbs is not operating at this time. The sign is in violation of the City's sign code for a residential (R -1) area. However, the City is exempt by State law for this and many other planning codes. If there are further itemsithat need to be clarified, please feel free to call. ,cam • Rona A. W it ley • Item No. 6 February 13, 1984 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.

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.

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. RAD:bpm Enc. Very truly your 2. c. RICHARD A.

The Dover Shores Homeowners Association met on Wednesday, March 21, 1984, and should provide testimony to this request at the Commission meeting'. Also attached is the original ,request from IMUA. If there are any questions,, please feel free to call. f� Tinwano� -C(u6 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. n U 13 Sincerely Dennis Campbell Founder and Coach Imua Outrigger Club 5451 CATOWBA LANE IRVINE, CA 92715 (714) 833 -1207 Item 7 ct�10 Ron Whitley Feb, 7+ 1994 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.

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 Sculpture project in a manner that allowed the sculpture to be completed: The Commission may have other individuals worthy of being recognized who can be nominated at the Commission meeting of April 3, 1984. Ronald • 0 E Item No. 10 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department 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. • IN Agriculture has promised to add to • its staff and speed up a review of the health effects of pesticides. ,nThe agreement bydhe Deukmeg.' an Administration to add more than, W,000 and eight employees to review health effects studies came only after the introduction of a bill that would have forced the depart - mentto intensify Its review., r;y „I,, i •Designated by” Gov.

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.

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.

It is their desire to adopt fees for this use at the time they change the policy. Recommendation: Recommend to the City Council the proposed fee schedule for commercial use of public facilities. U Rona Whitley • Meeting Rooms CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department Proposed Fee Schedule Commercial Rates Set -Up Fee 1st 2 hours /Additional Hour C.Y.C. $30 $70 $35. Carroll Beek $30 $70 $35 Mariners Multi- purpose Room $30 $70 $35 Theatre Arts Center $30 $70 $35 OASIS Center (Classrooms) $30 $70 $35 OASIS Mutli- purpose Room $50 $150 $75 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. I � L_ J mf CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 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. Tom, Line Attachment •fi Facility Availability Chart ATTACHMENT • Charted below are available times for the upcoming spring quarter that are open for lease. These times can change due to new programs and contract class openings. This, therefore, gives a distorted view of how much time could be used for commercial use.

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.

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 • Sillien P.
