In conjunction • with this, an Ad Hoc Committee was created to also study the possibility of a Teen Center where teens from Newport Beach could go after school and on weekends. The major problems are that we are past the budgetary process and a 3 location and building need to be found. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH o Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 3 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX There has been a request from Bonnie B. Engstrom, Parental Steering Committee for a Youth Facility, for $20,000 to be used for a professional study of a Teen Center. Mr. Whitley pointed out that the Ad Hoc Committee includes two City Council members and that since the Committee was created by Resolution, the request for funds should come from that Committee to Council. Discussion followed concerning approving the concept of a Teen Center and the use to which the $20,000 would be directed. Mr. Bill Hamilton, President of Western Canners and Presiden of the Newport Harbor Chamber of Commerce, addressed the Commission. There have been meetings during the past four months between the Ad Hoc Committee and the Restaurant Association to develop a well defined plan. They want the • Center to be viable and supported by both the teens and the community. The concept is that the building would be an upscale specialty club providing dancing, entertainment and food. It would be a training ground for the hospitality industry and provide jobs for the teens who work there. There would also be an opportunity for community programs, banquets, meetings, etc., thus utilizing the facility year - round. Mr. Hamilton explained that after a site is found to lease, they will need to raise money to equip the facility so it will be self- supporting. A professional, unbiased survey is required as an essential part of the fund raising effort and in acquiring a site and leasing it. The survey would address such matters as costs, income, usage,,vol_ume, etc:, X to show the Center would be economically viable. Mr. Hamilton added that the restaurant business and the home- owner associations are very supportive and willing to offer their talent, time, etc., for the youth of the community. Mr. Whitley advised the Commission recommend the $20,000 be allocated to the Restaurant Association to do the study since they have the expertise and would use the money care- fully and wisely with a job well done. Mr. Hamilton suggested the request for funds be made on the condition a• suitable site is found and secured. They are looking for a site in a non - residential area between the two high schools near the beach which The Irvine Company I may be able to provide.

Discussion: The Cameo Community Association has prepared preliminary plans that provide landscape improvements to private and publ'ic property on Pacific Coast Highway adjacent to their residential community. Their request is to have the project conceptually approved and establish the funding of the concept to be a two - thirds Association and one -third City responsibility. In add= ition,, the Association would assume the total responsibility of the maintenance of the improvements. If approved by the Commission, it would be necessary to transmit the request to the City Council for appropriate action. A copy of the preliminary plan and corresponding cost estimate is attached for your review. In addition, members of the Association will be in attendance at the Commission meeting to answer questions and further explain their request. I have attached a copy of City Council I -4, Cost - Sharing on Undeveloped Land, for your review. It i,s a confusing policy as it relates to the proposal being presented. Jack and I will clarify the intent of the policy at the meeting.

Discussion: Attached are past communications regarding the status of the request to fund a portion of the operation at the Environmental Nature Center.

Sterling Wolfe, Cha.rman Parks, Beaches and Recreation Dept., City of Ner -port Brach, California Dear Mr. Wolfe: As you know the Environmental Nature Center is a Qrovins resource within the City for all ages to learn from and enjoy. However, if any worthwhile area or project is to survive it must be supported with funding. The ENC Board of Directors met with Mr. 4lhitley -last fall to ekplore ways in which to have the City help fund the nature center as it used by citizens seven days per week. Please refer to the enclosed letter to Kr.•Nhitley with our specific needs. At this time I would like to request the CoJrnissi bn to consider our proposal for a naturalist position and two hart time interns which could be supported this first year with approri.mately $26,000 conservatively. I know the rewards to the' City and community would be positive. The homeowners support us and our pro @rams as it has increased property values, etc. . Our'board has already donated alder trees to the city for planting else *.•There and we all look forward in helping the city develop the Harbor View Nature Park and the Big Canyon area in the near fliture. This *cooperative relationship should be the beginning of 'a long term Program with great magnitude for this community. Please inform me and our board of the nr-•xl•. step in order to `mpliment this request. Thank you for your interest and cooperation. Robert IIouse, resident 1966 President Vic. P ... Want Secret."

BOX 1768, NEWPORT BEACH. CA 92658.891.1 (714)644.3151 March 17, 1986 Mr. Robert House, President Environmental Nature Center 600 Irvine Avenue Newport Beach,,CA. 92660 Dear Mr. House: Your recent letter requesting fiscal cooperation by this Department to provide a ranger naturalist and two i.nterns has been given serious con- sideration during our budget process. During this process a number of projects were deleted due to limitbd funds available to provide parks, open space and related programs to members of this community. Your request was among those that were eliminated due to this fiscal constraint. As you know, we have been aware of your facility and program for a number • of years and wholeheartedly embrace the philosophy of the community service that you provide. Although we can continue our relationship it appears that an increased involvement• is,not possible at this time. If you and the Board of 'Directors of the Environmental Nature Center wish to further pursue this concept, it should be done directly with the City Council. They, of course, are the legislative body that adopts our budget and program parameters. Best wishes as you continue to provide the educational resources in a natural environment so important to Newport Beach. C� Cordially, ACCk Ronald A. Whitley Director .4 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach • Mr. 'Ron Whitley 'Department of Beach and Parks Newport Beach, CaUiforni.a Dear Mr. Whitley, Ehvitormental Hature Center Newport Beach, California 'The environmental Nature Center Board of Directors are very much interested in developing a working relationship with the city of I�ei•roort Beach Department of Beaches and Parks. On two ocassions ol•r Board members have net with you to d_cuss t'e feasibility of this relationshp ar:d I have personally toured the E1-1,C with commission chairman Mr. Sterling; w.:441. The E170, established by interested citizens, provides a living example of California's native flora to the Ne -port Harbor community. A system of trails conducts people of all ages through twelve,of the'twerty -eight plant communities found throughout California. It is a place of leisure and respite, as well as for basic education of natural vegetation and wildlife. This•unieue resource within the City provi.des.a'natural area of un ?aralleled value. Notir, after twelve years of establishment, an even greater recreational program can be developed making it possible for larger numbers of the public to enjoy a walk through the woods, along a stream, or by a coastal desert. • Educational classes that use the center.-include all grade levels as well as adults. Creative writing, anthropology, art, photography, biology, California history, indian studies, botany, ecology *, conservation, and'ornithology are but a few of the disciplines that have found this area so inspiring.. The EI•iC currently reeds a ranger naturalist and two interns in order to facilitate the following.functions; 1. Help organize a support group for the Harbor View Nature Park. 2. Coordinate activities of the two support groups ( EHC and the HUNT) 3. Assist with tours of the EPIC and 111IIP. 4. Coordinate two intern naturalists, one at the EI ?C, and one at HVNP. 5. Provide nature interpretation to general public and all casual visitors. 6. Oversee the continued development of each facility. 7. Provide liason with other natural outdoor facilities in Orange Count,; and Southern California. 8. Develop, revise, and monitor cur icul.um and guides for use in the two °ac_l_ Lics o. Bert :• =ith the volunteer orsani.zations oeriVically. 10. Be available for any commrnity involve ent in relation to a better environment for all citizens to ealoy and appreciate. 11. Great the public with a positive attitude to set a good feeling for all ages that visit these areas. Therefore, the Environmental Nature Center Board of Directors greatly appreciate • the interest and support that the City of Newport Beach could provide at this time. -� Z Robert House, President . Board of Directors S L-, Item No. 8 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH • Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department DATE: April 28, 1986 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Recreation Superintendent SUBJECT: Review of Recreation Facility Directory and Resource Guide Recommendation: Approve the Recreation Facility Directory and Resource Guide as a source of information on Parks, School Recreation Facilities, Beaches, Piers and Sailing Bases. Discussion: Attached for the Commission's review is a,black and white photocopy of the Recreation Facility Directory and Resource Guide. The publication is designed for three - colored printing which will detail all information more clearly. The original master will be presented at the May 6 meeting. • The Directory provides comprehensive facility information over a three -fold 11" x 17 "' sheet. The cover prominently displays the City's seal; the inside contains general Department information, the Commission's meeting schedule, and a map depicting locations of 51 facilities, either owned and maintained by the City or used for seasonal recreation programs. The two - third's back panel opens into a resource list of all facilities, describing locations and physical features available. Ll Requested by the Commission earlier this year, the Directory will accurately present information about facilities to Newport Beach residents. The addition of the Directory will assist staff in dispensing information over the telephone, through the mail and over the counter. Item No. 9 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH • Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department DATE: April 29, 1986 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director SUBJECT: BICYCLE TRAIL HARBOR VIEW SCHOOL /COMMUNITY YOUTH CENTER Recommendation: Instruct the Consultant for the Community, Youth Center project, Bert Tarayao, to give consideration for bicycle safety as the site plan for the Community Youth Center is developed. Discussion: Several alternatives have been reviewed as they relate to the bicycle trail that goes through the passive park and terminates at 5th and Iris. School children have no safe choice in attempting to reach Harbor View • School from this point. The Consultant should be able to provide recommendations that will help in this situation. 0 4 Ronald A. Whitley Item N'o. 10 • CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department DATE: April 29, 1986 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director SUBJECT: PARK SIGNAGE Recommendation: Establish an'Ad Hoc Commission Committee to review with staff and develop a comprehensive signing program for our public facilities. Discussion: A preliminary analysis by staff has determined that we have many parks that are not properly identified. In addition, those that are signed are . inconsistent and unattractive. With the Commission's assistance, we look forward to developing a signing program that is cost efficient, attractive and easy to maintain. I.f there are any questions, please feel free to call. 9 o a �t ey Item No. 11 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH • Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department DATE: April 28, 1986, TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Recreation Superintendent SUBJECT: "Parklife" Cooperative Program On January 22, 1986, the Newport -Costa Mesa YMCA directed a request to the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department for use of the facilities at Mariners Park as a summer vacation program site. The YMCA proposed to call the program "Parklife" with a stated objective of providing an affordable program for children during the summer. Department staff conducted follow -up meetings with the YMCA staff and ex- plored the possibility of a cooperative program with both agencies sharing, costs. In this manner, the program could be offered at no cost to daily participants, similar to the City's only other existing program at the Community Youth Center. • As a result, the YMCA has agreed to provide a Recreation Director, while the City will fund a Recreation Aide position. The City will also pay occupancy and supply costs for the eight week program beginning June 30 - August 22. Both agencies will reference the program in seasonal brochures, with the City providing an additional 800 fliers to students at Mariners School. The program will operate Monday through Friday from 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. The addition of the cooperative program provides the City with a summer vacation activity site on the west side of the bay. The sharing of resources also lessens the impact on each agency's operating budget. Maylk Deven 0 )�,,b Item No. 12 RECREATION DIVISION • APRIL, 1986 'PROGRESS REPORT Special Interest Classes Program Analysis for the 1986 winter session indicated an increase of 10% for participants and net revenue over winter, 1985. The fact that special interest classes increased is significant; the winter session is typically the slowest seasonal program. The spring, 1986 program began March 31, and preliminary attendance figures indicate another potential increase over a year ago. Recreation Division staff has also completed a preliminary review of the summer brochure. New classes proposed for the summer include Water Aerobics, Tai Chi Chan and Ballroom Dance for youth and seniors. The Commission will receive a more in -depth review of the summer program as part of the Recreation Program Subcommittee's report on June 3. Youth Activities Once again, staff has completed interviews for Recreation Leader positions at the Community Youth Center. Jacqueline Judy has been appointed as Senior Recrea- tion Leader and Brett Williamson will assume the position of Recreation Leader. Both Leaders provide experience, enthusiasm and.organ.ization to this important program. Supervisory staff is also recruiting for girls softball coaches. Registration for the program is being accepted following the distribution of • 2,000 flyers through elementary schools. Adult Sports At the time of this .report, 200 softball teams have registered for summer adult softball leagues. Play is scheduled to begin May 12 and conclude the first of August. Beginning April 28, the City will begin a "Six Foot and Under" league at Lincoln School. The addition of Lincoln School is expected to be a major benefit to scheduling adult softball and basketball competition. Seniors April activities at Oasis continued to provide a mix of recreation, human services and socialization. New physical fitness classes began April 28 and the seniors sailing club,the Ancient Mariners, are sailing up to eight times per month. A new small group discussion program, Changing My Today, was also well attended. Dental and glaucoma screening on April 8 and 10, respectively, were very well received by participants and the doctors who donated their time. Attached is the Oasis Special Events and Meeting Schedule for May. • Ma Deven � 1 c- r• a N tF F V V i M: l^ O .r. 0 O L ~ N Om r Iv d OE A O U z� H n IL a In 1� •r C�7 Q CU C N <q A O a N tF F V V i M: l^ O C r 0 O Y ~ Q s Om r Iv 1 Y rtJ O U M C n IL a N tF F V V i M: l^ O C r tG , a In C�7 A o o ° ii rn W M M U J M�•1 r C � � 1 r N b I •r W O >S •IC „• Z _ M cC co i U E•1 N i N Q 3 co C7 K N T• r F•-• '- (5 Ol = C7 O Z LU /1' E ro r :..
