III. ACTION ITEMS
Item #5 - Night Lighting at Bonita Creek Park
Night
Lighting at
Director Whitley reported there was an opportunity at the
Bonita
December 6, 1988 meeting for the Commission to hear from
Creek Park
residents on this matter. The item was continued so that
staff could study the issue in depth and suggest solutions
.
to help solve the ambient light problem. Staff's recom-
mendations are to (1) Terminate play at a reasonable time,
i.e., no new-softball inning will begin after 10:00 P.M.;
and (2) Consult with the original electrical engineer to
provide shields that will reduce the ambient lighting.
Chair Konwiser opened the meeting to Public Testimony. Mr.
James Okuley, 4299 MacArthur, addressed the Commission.
Mr. Okuley, attorney representing the homeowners, referred
to the recommendations and questioned who determines the
•
end of an inning; and that this would not solve the problem
since games may well progress after 10:30 P.M. He would
like an ultimate cut off time. He also questioned when
the shields would be installed and asked that a time frame
be implemented.
Director Whitley responded to Mr. Okuley's concerns and
stated the umpire has the authority to end an inning.
Since most softball innings end quickly, i.e., an inning
usually lasts 4 -5 minutes at the most, lights would be
out by 10:15 P.M. Regarding the time frame for the shields,
Director Whitley explained the electrical engineer would
have to be consulted and he expected they could be installed
in about 60 days.
Mr. Buddy Cox, 2613 Mesa Drive, Santa Ana, addressed the
Commission. He voiced his concerns about budgets, estimates
and bids for the shields. 'He recommended the homeowners
be notified as to what is transpiring. He also questioned
the authority of the umpires.
Chair Konwiser explained that the City will be installing
and paying for the shields. Umpires are hired and have the
authority to end an inning or game.
Patricia Cox, 2612 Mesa Drive, Santa Ana, addressed the
.
Commission. She stated that, although ft has been quiet
the past month due to suspended play during the holidays,
she is still concerned about the lighting problems.

Commissioner Vandervort pointed out she participates in
the program and games are usually always on schedule.
Should a problem arise, the "mercy rule" can be applied
and games terminated.'
Mike Baginski, 138 Topaz, addressed the Commission and
recommended the lights go off at 10 :00 P.M. so that.the
games end at 10:00 P.M.
Joseph Bulwa, 3184 Corte Hermosa, addressed the Commission.
Mr. Bulwa stated the lights often stay on after the games
end and that there are basketball players on the basketball
court sometimes until 1:00 A.M. He also voiced his
concern over the loudspeaker.
Mark Deven explained the exit lighting system which is
activated when the game lights go out, and they are off after
about 15 -20 minutes. An umpire and staff member will also
assure that the lights go off in a timely manner. Regarding
the basketball court, the only light available would be the
walkway light which is not enough by which to play. The
Department, however, will check this out and post the court.
Referring to the loud speaker, this would have occurred
without City approval.
Mindy Miller, 24 Cormorant Circle, addressed the Commission.
She stated she lives about a mile away and the lights are
still blinding.
Victor Larsen, 1629 White Oak, addressed the Commission.
He stated'he felt the new park is great and is enjoyed
by many people. He said he plays softball and feels the
lights in their present state are not bright enough to
catch in the outfield.
Dan Rabun, 3130 Corte Hermosa, addressed the Commission and
asked why this particular park has lights.
Chair Konwiser explained that there were years of planning
that preceded the park and the lights were always part
of the original plan. Local residents were so informed
when they purchased their homes. Chair Konwiser also
stated that, although there may have been abuses of the
lighting system in the past, the Commission's decisions to
help alleviate the problems will be strictly enforced.
Public Testimony was closed by Chair Konwiser.

arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission

City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX
Commissioner Vandervort questioned the direction of the
lights and Director Whitley,explained that lighting
athletic fields is a precise science by the electrical
engineer to provide a certain amount of candlepower on a
consistent light pattern. The only lights that will be on
all the time will be those on the walkways for safety
reasons.
Commissioner Grant suggested Recommendation #1 include
"No new batters shall come to the plate after 10:30 P.M."
And that "if it does not endanger users of the facilities"
be added to Recommendation #2.
Commissioner Springer stated she appreciated everyone
coming to the.meeting and that she favors the recommenda-
tions as presented. Should they not work out satisfactorily,
the Commission can review the matter again. Chair Konwiser
agreed and said he felt the recommendations are excellent
compromises. The issue can be brought before the
Commission for further consideration if this is not
workable.
Commissioner Vandervort asked if the rules are published
and would be given to the players. Mark Deven explained
the Department has invoked the rules for winter softball
which commences January 20.

Item #6 - San-Miguel Park Handball Courts
San Miguel
Park Hand -
Director Whitley briefly reviewed the request from Brian
ball Courts
Donovan to remove the handball courts at San Miguel Park.
Six or seven years ago there were one or two similar
requests but nothing has been received since that time.
Chair Konwiser stated he felt the courts are clean, well
maintained, and well posted. The closest'home is about
350' away from the courts which should be a sufficient
distance.
Commissioner Herberts agreed with Chair Konwiser and
stated that since the homes are a significant distance
•
from the courts, she feels there is no justification for
(o
removal. Commissioners Taft, Grant and Brenner concurred.

Item #7 - Closing Time for Beaches
Closing
Time for
Director Whitley reported the City Council has referred
Beaches
to the Commission a letter from the Central Newport
Community Association requesting the beaches be closed at
10:00 P.M. with the exception of the Balboa Pier area.
Their request has been supported by the West Newport Beach
Association, the Balboa Peninsula Point Association, and
Balboa Improvement Association, who have been notified
that the Commission will be reviewing the matter this
evening.
Director Whitley pointed out that this Department has a
minimal role on beach administration since staff does not
maintain them nor do they enforce beach rules and regula-
tions.
Director Whitley reported that, for the record, a cbmmunica-
•
tion was received from Elaine Linhoff, 1716 E. Oceanfront,
opposing the 10:00 P.M. closure and from Donna Colombero.,
1003 E. Balboa, supporting the 10:00 P.M. closure.
Capt. Mike Blitch from the Police Department addressed the
Commission and explained the Department's overlapping
shifts, manpower, and enforcement methods. He reviewed
the pros and cons of closing the beaches at 10 :00 P.M.,
pointing out that the major problem areas are at the Wedge
and both Pier sites. Capt. Blitch explained that the
main problem for the-Department is to decide which per-
ceived problem should receive the most attention. Enforce-
ment of enclosure is not a major problem.
Chair Konwiser then opened the meeting to Public Testimony.
Dayna Pettit, 1741 Plaza del•Sur and President of the
Balboa Peninsula Point Association, addressed the
Commission. She stated that the problems caused by more
tourists and traffic could be alleviated by closing the
beaches at 10:00 P.M. She thanked the Commission for
considering this matter and will ask for a consensus from
the homeowners in their forthcoming newsletter.
Mr. Bill Schonlau, 408 -A E. Oceanfront, addressed the
Commission. He stated the three involved Boards of the
Associations are in unanimous agreement for a 10:00 P.M.
closure since they all have the same problems. Noise,
traffic and the fact that there are no restrooms contribute
to the problems.

Mike Baginski, 138 Topaz, addressed the Commission. -He
felt the beach should be kept open for all to enjoy and
commended the Police Department for doing a good job.
Mr. Bill Schonlau, 408 -A E. Oceanfront, addressed the
Commission and reported that the three Associations
recognize many families enjoy using the beach, therefore,
they have recommended excluding the Balboa Pier area
where there are firepits from the 10:00 P.M. closing time.
Chair Konwiser closed the meeting to public.testimony and
discussion by the Commission followed.
When asked if the members of the three Associations
present were polled, the Commission,was informed they were
not; those present were representatives at the Boards'
request.
•
Commissioner Grant felt that, due to the wide usage of
the beach, the enforcement issue, and the fact that the
Wedge area is the main problem, the beach rules remain as
they are. Commissioner Springer concurred.

Commissioner Herberts stated she would vote as the Balboa
Peninsula Point Association recommends, i:e., beach
closure at 10:00 P.M. with the exception of the Balboa
Pier area at midnight. She recommended the community
associations poll their members at large and report back
to this Commission or the City Council with this informa-
tion should they seek an appeal.
Commissioner Vandervort pointed out that there are not
many places for teenagers to go except the beach and
she would not like to see the use of the beach limited to
the public.
Commissioner Brenner stated she likes the idea of a con-
sistent closing and suggested giving the 10:00 P.V.
closure time a try and posting this on the City Limits
signs.
Chair Konwiser noted the beaches are a tremendous asset
to the City and he felt it would be unreasonable to
restrict the time to 10:00 P.M.

Item #8 - Review of Ordinance Regulat
Director Whitley reviewed the letter received from Mr. O.K.
Englund objecting to mechanical blowers. Mr. Whitley
pointed out that some of Mr. Englund's complaints are
justified, however, enforcement of the Ordinance on the
Use of Mechanical Blowers is almost impossible. Alterna-
tives the Commission should consider are (1) Retain
Ordinance 6.04.055; (2) Change the Ordinance; (3) Ban the
Ordinance (which some cities have done.)
Following a brief discussion, Commissioner Vandervort
motioned to ban mechanical blowers and use leaf vacuums.

Commissioner Grant referred to the $25,000 he suggested be
allocated for an outside consultant to update the Recreation
and Open Space Element. Director Whitley explained that
this would come out of the Planning Department's budget and
he will contact their Director to clarify the matter.
Commissioner Grant questioned where the Girls Bobby Sox
will play and if this needs to be in the capital budget.
Mark Deven explained that, due to the closure of the Lincoln
facility for improvements, the Department has picked Irvine
Terrace Park as a possible site. However, due to Deed
restrictions, the homeowners association must approve and
their decision is forthcoming.
Chair Konwiser asked about the completion of the sidewalk
on the ocean side of Ocean Boulevard and Director Whitley
advised this is in the budget.
Commissioner Springer asked if there was still an interest
.
in building a new facility at Mariners Park, and Director
Whitley said there was none at this time. She also in-
quired if funding should be set aside to purchase land
when it becomes available.
Since the Commission decided no additional items were to be
added to the capital projects list, review of each proposed
item followed and the Commission prioritized the list as
follows:
1. Park Facility Improvement Fund
2. Corona del Mar High School Olympic Pool
3. West Newport Community Center Refurbishment
4. Safety Mowstrips for Jamboree Road Median

that we will have 50% usage of the pool which is spelled

IV. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Public Comments was addressed following Item G.
Scott Anderson, Jr., 1730 Port Margate Place, addressed the
Commission. Mr. Anderson referred to the diseased Pear
Trees on Port Margate which he would like replaced with
more mature trees as a pilot program for his street.
Jack Brooks agreed that the Pear Trees have fire blight for
which there is no cure. He also agreed that taller, more
mature trees would be suitable for the street.
Director Whitley explained that Mr. Anderson's letter was
not received in time to be agendized, however, the Street
Tree Committee met January 9 to discuss the matter and
approved removal and replacement of the diseased trees.
He agreed that it might be beneficial to try a test
.
program and, should the community like it, then it could be
phased with existing funds upon Commission approval.
Commissioner Herberts,concurred with the replacement trees
suggested and recommended the community association be
contacted to discuss replacement trees.
Mr. Anderson explained that the Association's Board does
not want to take a position and he is attempting the demon-
stration project on his own accord as a homeowner.
,During discussion on designated trees, Jack Brooks pointed
out that the designated tree for Port Margate is Cupania,
however, this can be changed.
Since the Street Tree Committee approved removal and re-
placement of the Pear trees on Port Margate, Chair Konwiser
so authorized removal and directed Mr. Anderson to work
with staff to pick out one of the three trees he suggested
for replacement.
Commissioner Herberts led discussion about different
designated trees for each street, rather than all the same
for one large area as in Corona del Mar.
Mr. Dan Rabun, 3130 Corte Hermosa, addressed the Commission
•
and asked if consideration had been given concerning re-
placing the red roof on the Bonita Creek Park building.
Director Whitley informed him that there have been some
��
complaints about the red roof, however, it was part of the
architectural plans to go with the color scheme of the park.

expensive and impractical to replace, although they agreed
there -could be a better alternative to what is there.

Item No. III
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
• Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department
DATE: January 27, 1989
TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: Recreation Superintendent
SUBJECT: Oasis Center Master Plan
Background:
In preparation for the joint meeting with the Friends of Oasis which will focus
entirely on the Oasis Center Master Plan, the following analysis should address
concerns expressed by Commission members at the meeting of January 10, 1989.
The analysis will focus on a brief explanation of the Master Plan elements which
will be expanded upon by Friends of Oasis Boardmembers at the joint meeting,
demographic trends affecting public services for seniors, case studies which
illustrate examples of staff and volunteer assistance to elders in need, the
present program /service utilization of Oasis Center, and evaluation of the survey
mailed to Oasis members in November, 1988. This information is presented as a
means of evaluating the expansion of Oasis Center which is the centerpiece item
of the Master Plan.
• Master Plan Elements
Originally conceived by the Friends' Long Range Planning Committee as a separate
Human Services addition on dedicated property north of the Center, a number of
issues converged to reduce the size and scope of the building in favor of addressing
the needs of the entire site. The separate building incorporating facilities for
medical services, legal counseling and a sick room was estimated to require over
5,000 square feet without addressing parking problems and other concerns. Following
a series of discussions with staff, Commission members and City Council members,
the Long Range Planning Committee recommended that the Friends of Oasis fund a
private consultant to facilitate the planning of the addition and incorporation
of the related issues. The Board of Directors entered into an Agreement for Master
Planning Services with Recreation Systems, Inc. on the basis of their experience
planning senior center sites in nine other cities, most recently in the City of
Tustin. RSI met with the Long Range Planning Committee and Executive Board
regularly since mid - November, ultimately developing the site as presented in the
packet.. The Master Plan's elements include:
1. 'Facility Expansion
The expanded facilities have been reduced to 3,800 square feet
and include new office space for staff and volunteers ,'_,privacy
offices for counseling, income tax assistance and case management
services, and a central lobby which encourages socializing
among the participants. Currently, a "focal point" is missing
• at the Center, which encourages people to leave after their
scheduled activities conclude.
2. Multi- Purpose Room Utilization
�(_ Installation of mechanized room dividers depicted on the Plan
-2-
will. allow efficient utilization of the Multi- Purpose Room
• by providing up to three separate activity areas. This
feature will also benefit evening use�by other Department
classes and community organizations.
3. Expanded Parking
A recurring problem, the expanded parking will provide an
additional 40 spaces, access from less busy side streets
and will discourage parking in the lot on the west side
of Marguerite Avenue, thereby reducing or eliminating
seniors from crossing the busy intersection.
4. Gardens Relocation
The Oasis Gardens will be relocated to accommodate the
expansion. The relocation will also include improvements
by amending the soil to enhance crop production.
5. Game Room
The current location of the Game Room in the north wing
is incompatible with the use of surrounding rooms. Ad-
jacent rooms used for instruction, reading and viewing of
videos are hampered by noise and other nuisances created
by the Game Room. Relocation to the wing currently
occupied by staff and volunteers will address this issue.
• The elements proposed for incorporation within the Master Plan are the result
of thorough- research -by- the -L-ong-Range- PIannrirg-Commi -tEes of 1987 -88 and 1988 -89,
chaired by Boyd Stillings and Jim DeLamater, respectively.
Demographics
National, State and local demographic trends indicate that older adults will continue
to be the fastest growing segment of the population. The following information
includes data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Census
Bureau and the City's Planning Department.
The "elderly support ratio" (the number of 65 -plus persons to persons of working
age, 18 -64 years) is changing shape due to the fact that people are living longer
and families are having fewer children. In 1900 there were about seven elderly
persons for every 100 persons of working age; in 1986, this ratio was about 20
elderly persons per 100 of working age. By 2020, the ratio will rise to about
29 per 100. (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1987). The average
life expectancy at birth is ever increasing. Currently, the average life
expectancy is 74.7 years and'is on the rise. from a public policy standpoint,
these statistics are crucial in that publicly- funded programs will have increasing
demands put on them. While in contrast, most private funds (i.e., family) are
directed toward support of the young. Although national trends provide some
insight and direction, local population patterns impact the City and the Depart-
ment directly. According to the 1980 census, there were about 15,725 people
• over the age of 55 living in Newport Beach, accounting for 25% of the total
population. The City's Planning Department estimates that the median age in
Newport Beach has increased since 1980 due to two factors: (1) The inaffordability
of homes which prevents young families from moving into the City, and (2) The
decline of total. school enrollment. The largest concentration of seniors tends
II to be in Dover Shores, Eastbluff, Park Newport, Balboa Island, Newport Heights
-3-
and the Hoag Hospital area. The impact on services and programs provided at
Oasis and scheduled for implementation at the West Newport Community Center is
. expected to be dramatic over a 30 year period.
Therefore, there is an increasing present and future need for governmental
services which may be met at both Oasis Center and at the West Newport Community
Center. Factors which demonstrate the need include the increase in life
expectancy, the increasing care of frail elderly parents by adult children who
may need support groups or service assistance, and the sophistication of senior
citizens who are determined to live independently but require assistance to do
so. A comprehensive senior center which meets the needs of active, younger
seniors and older, frail seniors can play a vital community role. In addition
to the successful recreation oriented model currently in place at Oasis, the
emergence of "frail elderly" participants has been recognized by both the
Friends of Oasis and professional staff. Frail elderly require specialized
services provided by trained gerontological professionals assisted and supported
by volunteers.
Case Management Studies
Comprehensive senior centers which include services for frail elderly typically
include professional staff trained in Case Management. Case Management is defined
as work performed by staff and /or volunteers for persons with multiple problems.
It includes life - threatening situations requiring direct intervention as well as
providing a series of common referrals. Problems requiring Case Management are
not affected by personal income or community status. The following examples
utilizing false names have occurred within the last year at Oasis.
0 Case Study #1
Mabel was referred to the Senior Service Specialist by her neighbors. Mabel"li -ves
alone with 5 cats in a house in Corona del Mar. She is very unpleasant, yells at
the neighbors and refuses to pay any outside help. She is unable to care for
herself, her house or her cats. The house is dirty with many litter boxes
scattered around, and there is a very strong cat odor. She has recently been
falling frequently and will call either the Paramedics or neighbors in the middle
of the night. Mabel is a very strong minded woman, who would never think of moving
out of her house. Although adult children probably have the means to assist her,
Mabel is not in contact with any of them. Her reliance on her neighbors has been
a nuisance, resulting in their referral to the Center.
The Specialist made a home visit to assess Mabel's situation, and suggested alterna-
tives such as hiring in -home help to care for her and her cats. This person could
prepare meals., bath her, clean the house and care for the cats. Mabel has been
resistant to this because she is not willing to pay the going rate. She does,
however, call the Center at least once a week for assistance, thereby relieving
the neighbors of demanding tasks and providing staff with the opportunity to
make appropriate referrals.
Case Study #2
Helen lives with her 40 year old son in Newport Heights. They came to Oasis to
speak with the Specialist regarding some problems they were having. During the
• conversation, it became evident that the son was not well. He completely dominated
the conversation, yelled and made insulting remarks about his mother. Staff
determined that he was troubled andfrustrated by the additional demands of-caring
for his frail and aging mother. During a 90 minute conversation, his remarks
and tone became obsessive and threatening. After consulting with other staff
' members, the Specialist intervened by contacting the Police Department and Elder
-4-
Abuse Hotline for follow up investigations. As a result, the case was referred
to the County Social Service Department and Public Guardian Office, which
assigned a conservator for Helen and removed the son from the house.
Case Study #3
Betty and her husband were, at one time, very active at Oasis. The husband passed
away and Betty was living alone in Jasmine Creek, up the hill from Oasis. She
had become slightly frail and had short term memory loss. Her daughter, historically
at odds with her, bodily removed Betty from her house and took her to a small Board
and'Care facility in Mission Viejo. The daughter then moved into her mother's
house, changed the locks and took up residence.there. Although cut off from
friends and other family, Betty kept the Oasis phone number fn her purse and
contacted the Specialist, relating her situation. A Friends of Oasis volunteer
intervened by retaining an attorney on her behalf and assisted in the recovery of
her home, property and possessions. This example illustrates the self -help
philosophy of the Friends of Oasis, as well as the generosity of an individual
member.
Case Study #4
Bob is 85 years old and had a stroke approximately 6 months ago. He was left with
some paralyzation on one side. He lives in the Westcliff area in a small, cold
garage.. He lives - primarily on his Social Security earnings.
Bob called Oasis when he finally realized that he needed help at home. He could
not prepare meals and had no transportation. The Specialist made a home visit to
assess his situation and decided what services were available to help him.
After meeting with Bob, the Specialist set up Meals -on- Wheels to be delivered to
his home, arranged for the Van to bring him up to Oasis two days a week for Chair
Exercise class, and informed him of how to get set up with a life -line system
through Hoag Hospital.
These examples illustrate specific experiences of frail seniors and family members.
Approximately 200 telephone calls are received or placed by staff to frail elderly
each month. In addition, over 70 frail elderly come to Oasis monthly and receive
information.and referral services, the first step in a potential case management
process. Currently the Senior Services Specialist schedules an average of three
home visits per month.
Current Utilization:
Recreational, social and special interest activities programmed at Oasis have been
developed and scheduled in cooperation with the Board of Directors. The activities
are usually scheduled Monday- Friday,. 10:00 A.M. - 3:00 P.M., although volunteers
who coordinate specific classes arrive as early as 9:00 A.M. to prepare and set
up classrooms. The use and scheduling pattern is based on the preference of
participants who desire a schedule which insures that they will be home by 5:00 P.M.
In addition, participants who rely on the 'Friends of Oasis transportation service
are required to leave at 4:00 P.M., the last scheduled run of the day.
Exhibit A
indicates the 'daily
utilization pattern of each classroom at Oasis.
Room III is
designated for use
as a Library, and other rooms are scheduled on
•
a limited
basis due to spaces
required for meetings or "last minute"spenJLal +
events and
seminars. Although
scheduling is generally limited to daytime hours,
attendance-is_
expected to exceed
73,500_during the current fiscal year.
Estimated
figures for 1989 -90
are expected to rise due to program
-5-
development at the West Newport Community Center and the scheduling of %struc-
tional activities in the Arts and Crafts .Room.
Survey 'Analysis
In November, 1988, Department staff and the Friends of Oasis jointly developed
and sent a membership survey to 2,100 individual households. A total of 900
surveys were returned to the Center. The survey requested information from
members concerning their frequency of participation, reasons why they may not
participate, solicitation of program ideas, and desired human services. The
responses are compositely totaled for each question on Exhibit B.
An analysis of the results indicates that recreational activities still appear
to be the most popular draw. However, human services programs defined by the
examples in question #6 reveal the concerns of many respondents and the need for
professional resources to provide assistance. Conversely, question #3 reveals
that many people are not. participating at Oasis with greater frequency due to
their busy personal schedules. Therefore, staff will try to develop an alterna-
tive to the present schedule which will provide evening and weekend programs,
especially for active seniors. The survey also indicated the importance of
transportation to the Center and to personal appointments, including medical
services and shopping. In the final analysis, the survey seems to confirm the
staff position that both recreational and human service activities are desired
at Oasis, thus providing some direction to develop a comprehensive full- service
Center.
Conrlusion!
iThe evolution of Oasis Center from a facility dedicated to recreational programs
for active seniors into a comprehensive, multi- service site for both active and
frail elderly was both gradual and responsive. The development of various human
service programs by the staff was initiated at the request of the Friends of Oasis.
Both the Department and the Friends have gradually--recognized the emergence of
frail elderly participants and have initiated new programs in response to their
needs.
I't was within the framework of a Center evolving to meet the needs of its constitu-
ents that the Friends began the process of evaluating the limitations of the
existing site. Through the Long Range Planning Committee and in cooperation with
the Department, the Friends gradually prioritized their concerns. In preparation
for serious consideration during the Fiscal 1989 -90 budget process, the Friends
funded the services of-a consultant to define the concept of the project. In
partnership with the Friends, Department staff evaluated the existing services
and utilization and recognized the implications of demographic trends which
indicate the growth of senior citizens in the community. Thus, the elements of
the Master Plan attempt to address factors beyond present concerns. It is
sincerely hoped that the information presented in this report will assist in the
Commission's consideration of the Master Plan.

DATE: January 30, 1989
TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: Request to Remove Street Trees on Cliff Drive
Recommendation:
Remove all Date Palms in parkway of Mariners Point project and replace
with an acceptable street tree that will not cause view problems.
Discussion:
The Mariners Point project, which the Commission has reviewed a number
of times, has resulted in the placement of Date Palms that have blocked
views for residents on Cliff Drive. Arrangements have been made for
Commissioners to visit the Patrick home, 2804 Cliff Drive, to personally
view this situation -. For this purpose, from 4:00 - 5:00 P.M. on Monday,
February 6, 1989 has been allocated for field review.

3 January 1989
Mr. Ron Whitley, Director
Parks, Beaches and Recreation
City of Newport Beach
3300 Newport Blvd.
Newport Beach, California 92663
Dear Ron:
I am a homeowner residing at 2804 Cliff Drive across from
Cliff Drive Park.. We built our home approximately three
years ago choosing this particular site because of its
view. To the south, looking across Cliff Drive Park, is a
view of the bay and ocean and to the west is a view along
. Cliff Drive looking at Catalina Island. Then along came the
Wood's project and its relocating of palm trees...... The
date palms on either end of the street frontage in the City
right —of —way obstruct our view of Catalina. I have enclosed
a map indicating the problem. This is an approved planting
by the PB &R Commission, but unfortunately my view was not
taken into consideration. I have read your policy titled
"Obstruction Of Views By Trees" adopted September 14, 1987
(copy enclosed), and feel clearly that this planting is in
direct conflict. In addition, the view played an important
financial part in the purchase of the property. The City
planting of trees obstructing a portion of the view does not
enhance my property value, therefore I will suffer
financially from the current placement.
I would suggest relocating these trees in the park or to
another location on the Wood's property so as not to obstruct
the views from the existing residences.
Sincerely yours,
IL

OBSTRUCTION OF VIEWS BY TREES
The City Council has expectations that individuals, public agencies and '
homeowner associations will comply with procedures to diminish view
obstructions caused by trees and vegetation on their property.
The purpose of this policy is to identify the importance of views lost due
to tree growth by another private or public property owner. The objectives
of this policy are to:
1. Preserve and promote the aesthetic benefits provided by trees and the
preservation of views of the surrounding locale.
2. Preserve, maintain and enhance property values within the City.
3. Encourage the proper maintenance of trees, shrubs, hedges or other
vegetation that unduly diminish desirable views.
4. Encourage homeowner associations and individuals to vigorously enforce
their CC &R's as they pertain to trimming shrubbery in order to
maintain views and property values.
5. By example, City will endeavor to maintain all City —owned park
property in a manner to maximize public and private view planes.
Definitions to clarify this policy are:
1. Unreasonable Obstruction of View
A tree, shrub, hedge or other vegetation should not be maintained on
public or private property in the City in such a manner as to
unreasonably obstruct the view from other property.
2. Views
"View" means a range of sight including pleasing vistas or prospects
or scenes. Views include, but are not limited to, the sight of
geologic features, bays, oceans, skylines and bridges.

regulations within the City of Newport Beach, and.specifically
the license fees being charged, comparison with-other juris-
dictions, and control-of nuisances committed by animals. On
Exhibit #1 you will find a•chart.showing the fees of all Orange
County cities and the County of.,Orange. From this-chart it
is demonstrated that Newport Beach's.current fees are about
average with those being charged in other parts of the County.
The highest dog license fees appear to be in irvine.that charges
$24 /year compared to Newport Beach'at $18 /year. The lowest fee
is charged by Costa Mesa ($10). The cities listed on this chart
are the only ci'tie's that provide Animal ContrQl.OfficerS. All
other cities contract with Orange-County for this service. A
breakdown of administration of animal.services throughout.the
County is as follows:

The Orange County Animal Control and Shelter Service
programs provide services to the unincorporated area of the
• County and to eighteen cities in the County. Services are
provided to these contracting cities in exchange for the County
retaining all animal license and other related fees. There are
five cities that operate their own Animal Control Programs,
but contract with the County for shelter,services. The cities
are charged a fee for each animal brought to the County shelter
that is not redeemed by its owner. Four cities in the County
independently operate their own Animal Control Program and
Shelter facilities.
Exhibit 2 illustrates those cities that employ muni-
cipal Animal Control Officers (ACO) and the number of Officers
per 10,000 population. This chart is provided to illustrate
that Newport Beach is above average•in the number of ACO's pro-
vided. This reflects a higher level-of service in Newport Beach
than any other city in Orange County.
Exhibit 2 does not list the County or the cities that
contract with the County. In collecting the population of all
of the contract cities and the County, it appears that the level
of service is about .21 ACO!s per 10,000 population. This varies
slightly by city depending upon the level of- service provided by
the County. At this time the'City Council may be aware that the
contract cities are negotiating with the County for a different
arrangement. The County believes they lose money with the con-
tract cities and wish to implement a plan to establish complete
• cost recovery from the- contract cities. The contract cities are
opposing this and as a result it is difficult to get accurate
figures on the level of.service being provided in these cities.
The County asserts to one level and the cities assert to a lesser
level, but averaging the unincorporated and•the contract cities
derives approximately the .21 ACO per 10,000.
The cost to the City for providing complete animal
regulation services has been calculated for fiscal year ending
June 30, 1988. These costs and revenues are as follows:
EXPENDITURES
Salaries (5 positions) $135,529.42
Health Insurance 12•,798.12
Life Insurance 505.08
Retirement 17,599.44
Disability .593.64
Retiree Insurance 513.60
Automotive Service
(including depreciation) 28,050.87
Impound Costs 14,009.56
Uniforms 1,849.70
Equipment 75'0'00
Miscellaneous Supplies 500,.00
$212,699.43
REVENUES
• Dog Licenses $ 62,749.85
a�q Citations 19;700.00 82,449.85
EXCESS EXPENDITURES OVER REVENUES •(DEFICIT) $130,249.58
-3-
This indicates that the General Fund subsidizes the
• animal control services in Newport Beach to the extent of $130,249
annually. To make this service self- supporting, the dog license
fees would have to be increased nearly 300 %, which would require
an increase from $18.00 to approximately $50.00.
During the Study Session one of the Council Members
handed out a dog litter bag with the suggestion that we be more
aggressive in requiring dog owners to utilize these bags. The
City could, at very little cost, issue bags along with the
license, but the issuance does-not guarantee that the animal owner
will use the bags. The Municipal Code makes it a misdemeanor for
the owner to permit his animal to commit a nuisance. It is not,
however, unlawful to be without a litter bag.
Inasmuch.as the regulations currently in operation are
fairly brief, I have also attached sections of the Municipal Code
that impose the animal regulations within the City.
Conclusions:
1. Animal Control program is subsidized by the
City's General Fund.
2. Our level of.service exceeds all other cities
within Orange County and the County of Orange.
• 3. Animal fecal bags (except for pit bulls) can
be provided at time of issuance of license at a nominal cost.
4. City could encourage Community Associations,
such as Corona del Mar Chamber of Commerce, to dispense litter
bags.
5. The City Manager's Newsletter can contain a
request for compliance by animal owners.

Dear Mr. Whitley:
The Balboa Peninsula Point Association has reviewed the
proposed "signage for animal leash and defecation laws" that
you and your department have recommended, and that includes
the new signing for all parks within the City of Newport
Beach. We heartily support your recommendation and commend
you and your department for your efforts in this regard.
We strongly feel that the consistent signing for this issue
will better enable the police in their enforcement efforts and
as well should immediately help to eliminate this problem.
Thanks very much. We sincerely appreciate your assistance and
look forward to implementation prior to our summer season. We
would be pleased to hear from you following approval and
suggested scheduling for execution.
Kindest regards,
Dayna Pettit, President
For the Board of Directors

Dear members of the PBR Commission:
I Believe dogs should be allowed in parks and on the beaches
all day in the winter. What people object to is the litter
left by dogs and dogs running loose. Ordinances alreaady
on tthe books address those problems and should be enforced.
To deny law- abiding citizens who own dogs the pleasure of
enjoying our parks and beaches is punishing them for tshe
misdeeds of those who break the law be leaving dog litter
and letting dogs runloose.
Enforce the laws we already have. Please do not add another
ordinance to restrict our freedom. We are boxed in enough
with necessary ordinances.
incidentally, I havie lived in Newport Beach since 1954
and in all those years ha+tve never owned a dog .
Sinc�jerely yours,

The Balboa Peninsula Point Association would like to request
your adding the "animal /canine signing" as an "ACTION ITEM"
on the Agenda of your next PB &R Meeting where this is first
possible. We believe appropriate signing at our beach ends
on both ocean and bay front will help to alleviate this
problem in the entire beach area.
We thank you for your attention to our request and we look
• forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Mr. Jack Brooks
Park and Street Superintendent
City of Newport Beach
Park, Beach and Recreation Department
Post Office Box 1768
Newport Beach, California 92658 -8915
Dear Mr. Brooks:
I would like to request a review of the decision not to
have the trees in front of our home removed at 509 Begonia
in Corona del Mar. My wife and I feel strongly that these
trees need to be promptly removed. The previous owners
of the property, Larry and Betty Kerr, also felt these
trees needed to be removed and have made requests that
this be done. In fact, on our purchasing the property
last summer, they assured us that the City was indeed
planning to have the trees taken out.
The trees are the largest ones on our street and are already
quite destructive. They have caused upheaval of the sidewalk
in several areas, resulting in unsafe and uncertain footing.
This situation is aggravated by the fact that the street is
quite dark with no street lights and I feel this could be
particularly hazardous for older individuals. I am greatly
concerned about the potential liability that we incur by
allowing this remediable situation to persist. I would
expect that the City of Newport Beach would also be
concerned about this liability.
It is clearly simply a matter of time before these trees
are also destructive to our personal property. We have a
brick fence lying adjacent to the sidewalk and, without doubt,
this will be disrupted and destroyed if these trees continue
to grow.
I would appreciate a review of the decision regarding removal
of these trees and feel that a rational analysis of this situa-
tion should lead to approval of their removal. This situation
is particularly bothersome since neighbors one house over from
ours had similar, though somewhat smaller trees removed in the
recent past. I appreciate your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely yours,
/2 f l_&�c

DATE: January 31, 1989
TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: ART IN PUBLIC PLACES
The Arts Commission has proposed a series of Summer Concerts to be
conducted in public locations. The attached descriptions provide
details on the program.
As the locations would most likely include parks, the Arts Commission
is desirous of obtaining the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission's
approval and probable assistance from staff to implement the concept.
Ronald A. Whitley
0 PROPOSED ART IN PUBLIC PLACES PROJECT 1989
SUMMER CONCERTS
CITY COUNCIL POLICY T1 ART IN PUBLIC PLACES - requires the
Arts Commission to sumbit in January of each year a list of
projects with estimated costs. This year, the Arts Commission
recommends a series of Summer Concerts to be held in
neighborhood parks throughout the City.
The emphasis will be on neighborhood. These concerts will be
designed for local walk -in attendance. Notices and advertise-
ments will be delivered through direct mail and through
Community Associations. The concept is to bring music to the
neighborhoods, to avoid having residents travel to congested
tourist areas and to avoid attracting tourists to neighborhoods.
Approximately five parks will be chosen after consulting with
Community Associations from the following candidates:
• Channel Place Park in West Newport
Newport Heights School
Galaxy Park
.Buffalo Hills Park
Grant Howald Park
Eastbluff Park
Balboa Pier Park in conjunction with the Gazebo Concerts
Irvine Terrace Park
Preliminary discussions indicate that entertainment may be provided
by Opera Pacific and California Winds. Concerts would be ,
scheduled in the early evenings during the summer. Residents
would be encouraged to walk to their neighborhood park with their
blankets, beach chairs, etc.
The cost for a successful and high - qulaity program including
direct -mail notification to all City residents is estimated at
$45,000.

CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Item No. 10
Marine Department
. January 18, 1989
TO: PARKS, BEACHES AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: Marine Department
SUBJECT: VESSEL AND JET SKI ENFORCEMENT - OPERATION /LAUNCHING ON THE
OCEAN FRONT
Recommendation:
If desired, the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission, in conjunction with
the Marine Department, recommends to the City Council the establishment of a
o Municipal Code Chapter on "Ocean Vessel Operation" in the City of Newport Beach.
Municipal Code Title 11 - Recreational Activities. Upon establishment of a
new chapter, council resolution will specify the appropriate hours, dates and
location.
Background
Attachment "A" gives a brief comparison of jet ski /vessel enforcement at the
various Orange County ocean front beaches. As can be seen by looking at
Column B, jet ski activity is very limited on ocean front beaches in Orange
County. The City of Newport Beach offers the least restrictive laws in all
of Orange County. The means that Newport experiences the highest jet ski
usage in the county, as well as being the most.widely recommended by other
marine safety agencies and companies that "rent" jet skis.
Conflicting usage by bathers, surfers, and jet skiers has become more fre-
quent and a corresponding increase in the diversion of marine safety personnel
to cope with these conflicts'has resulted. °
Problem:
All agencies in Orange CoLtIty, except Newport, have local laws or ordinances,
in addition to the Harbor-and Navigation Codes, which can deal specifically
with jet skis /vessels in the ocean front "'activity zone ".
Possible Solutions:
1. Revise "Harbor Regulation "Municipal Code 37.16.000 to include "Pacific
Ocean" or "all waters within city limits'!.
The problem with this solution would be the complete elimination of
jet skis, Hobie Cats, etc. from Newport's ocean front beaches.
2. Develop specific codes to allow Marine Safety Officers closure of beaches
to vessels.
3. Continue the ambiguous and selective application of "Harbor and
Navigation Codes" and City of Newport Beach "Harbor Regulations ".
4. "Conduct on Beaches ", 11.08.090, could be expanded to include the ocean.
!_The best solution would be No. 2.
,5(
Page 2
• Based on input from the Captain, Lieutenants, Marine Safety Officers and
jet ski correspondence, the following should be incorporated into a council
resolution backed by the proper municipal codes:
•
A. Dates banned, May 1st - September 30th. (Similar to 40 -44 surfer ban) (R)
B. 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ban. (Similar to Wedge flotation devices ban) (R)
C. Hand carry only. (17.16.020C) (M)
D. Extend out 100 feet past surfline.
E. Exempt City Officials, Police, Lifeguards or other government agencies
engaged in official business. (M)
F. Vessel or trailer storage on beaches prohibited. (17.16.021) (M)
Conclusion:
To parallel surfing ordinances with similar vessel operation ordinances for
ocean front beaches in the City of Newport Beach would be the best alternative.
Attachment B shows an example of the proposed chapter and appropriate sections
to be included in the municipal code.
Attachment C shows an example of a proposed resolution.

Marine Safety Department

CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department
DATE: January 30, 1989
TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: City Council Policy I -12, Obstruction of Views by Trees
The attached Council Policy was formulated by the Commission and adopted
by the City Council in September of 1987.
The Harbor View Hills Community Association was instrumental in the
original request in preparing this policy. The Association has requested
that the Commission pursue regulations that will provide stronger enforce-
ment and solutions to problems of views as impacted by trees.
The subject is scheduled for discussion by the Commission to enable
alternatives or solutions to be determined.

1 -12
OBSTRUCTION OF VIEWS BY TREES
The City Council has expectations that individuals, public agencies and
homeowner associations will comply with procedures to diminish view
obstructions caused by trees and vegetation on their property.
The purpose of this policy is to identify the importance of views lost due
to tree growth by another private or public property owner. The objectives
of this policy are to:
1. Preserve and promote the aesthetic benefits provided by trees and the
preservation of views of the surrounding locale.
2. Preserve, maintain and enhance property values within the City.
3. Encourage the proper maintenance of trees, shrubs, hedges or other
vegetation that unduly diminish desirable views.
4. Encourage homeowner associations and individuals to vigorously enforce
their CC &R`s as they pertain to trimming shrubbery in order to
maintain views and property values.
5. By example, City will endeavor to maintain all City -owned park
property in a manner to maximize public and private view planes. Some
exceptions can be trees of special value and beauty that in themselves
enhance either the overall beauty of the area or are included in
Preservation of Special Trees (I -9).
Definitions to clarify this policy are:
1. Unreasonable Obstruction of View
A tree, shrub, hedge or other vegetation should not be maintained on
public or private property in the City in such a manner as to
unreasonably obstruct the view from other property.
2. Views
"View" means a range of sight including pleasing vistas or prospects
or scenes. Views include, but are not limited to, the sight of
geologic features, bays, oceans, skylines and bridges.
Adopted - September 14, 1987
Amended,- November 28, 1988

HARBOR VIEW HILLS COMMUNITY ASSC
P.O. Box 54
Corona Del Mar, Ca 92625
Mr. Ron Whitley January 15, 1989
Parks, Beaches & Recreation Comm.
City of Newport Beach
P.O. Box 1768
Newport Beach, Ca 92663
Dear Mr. Whitley,
We are now in the 16th month (September 1987) since the Council
passed the city policy intended to preserve the primary views of
Newport homeowners. The condition still exists today, as natural
trees and other vegetation continue to grow into the sight plane.
Appeals to homeowners associations who have tree height restrictions
and sight preservation stipulations go unheeded and ignored.
As a homeowner association vitally concerned with view
preservation because of the esthetics, we are also very aware of the
economic fact that view deterioration can reduce property values
significantly. Major real estate firms in the city have stated
emphatically that one tree obstructing views will reduce home values,
by $100,000 and probably more in todays market.
We have exhausted all avenues to resolve this situation. Our
association has entire streets where views and historical landmarks
have been lost behind a 50' -60' tree.
'The city has been doing their part in trimming on public land
but the private homeowners have not been cooperative. These trees
could be cut to near roof top level, since additional heighth does
not enhance the value or quality of living for the occupant.
The HVHCA Board of Directors, Officers and members strongly
recommend step #2. We ask the policy be advanced to an ordinance
so enforcement can begin. This situation cannot continue as it is.
We have pictures and information available to you to assist
in rendering a decision.

CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
Marine Department Item No. 11
• January 19, 1989
TO: PARK, BEACHES AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: Marine Department
SUBJECT: EXPANDED HOURS 40 -44TH STREET - "NO SURFING ZONE"
Recommendation:
If desired, the Park, Beaches and Recreation Commission, in conjunction
with the Marine Department, will recommend to the City Council that
"Board Surfing" be banned "all hours" in the 40 -44th Street "No Surfing
Zone" from May 1st thru October 31st.
Background:
Currently, Resolution No. 9451 bans surfing between 40th and 44th Streets,
May ist thru October 31st from 8:00 a.m, to 6:00 p.m. Last year, after
citizen and council members input, the Marine Department, through "Policy ",
established the 40 -44th Street area as "Blackballed" from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00
p.m. This was an additional 4 hours of board free time per day for 6 months
• of the year. While this was well received by the boogie boarder and swimmer
population in the area, there was some resistance by surfers who wanted to
use the 40 -44 area before 8:00 a.m. and after 6:00 p.m. Enforcement was
complicated because of signs which stated 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. while
policy had become 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. This discrepancy meant at least
one lifeguard was needed to enforce the policy during the extended hours.
In addition to the "expanded hours" policy implemented last season, a survey
was conducted to monitor usage during different times of the day. By mid
summer, usage in the 40 -44th Street zone by boogie boarders and swimmers was
approaching the same level as surfer usage in the adjacent 4 block zones
during the hours of additional coverage.
Conclusion:
There was a demand for a board free zone during the expanded hours. The area
was utilized by both boogie boarders and swimmers. An "all hours" ban on
boards in the 40 -44th Street zone would accomplish 3 Marine Department goals:
1) It would eliminate theCoonflicting usage during transition periods.
2) It would allow the City to properly sign the 40 -44th Street zone,
with Municipal Code /Council Resolution and Policy no longer in
conflict.
3) It would provide a West Newport "board free zone" for boogie
6 boarders and swimmers in the early morning and late evening.
• Attached is Resolution No. 9451. On page 2, paragraph 1, the "Strike Out"
would'accomplish'the desired results.

Parks & Recreation
City of Newport Beach,
3300 Newport Blvd,
Newport Beach, Ca. 92658 -8915 January 14, 1989
Attention: Mr. John Kowner
Dear Sir:
RE: Bonita Creek Park
I reside at 3184 Corte Hermosa, directly backing onto the park, in fact
I look into the red - roofed clubhouse. I was fortunate to attend the meeting
last week and made representations to the Board. After my submission, a
comment was made by yourself to one of the other citizens that I thought
required a response. When he suggested that the lighting situation was
unfair to the homeowners, you rather flippantly implied that it was their
problem since they were informed of a lighted facility to be built on the site.
I must take strong exception to your position. I enclose a copy of the
"Disclosure Statement" provided to us. Paragraph 2 indicates that "night
lighted fields will be constructed on the park site ". I submit to you that there
is a duty on the Bren Company and the City of Newport Beach to make full
and complete disclosure. Surely, when you allow a Doctor to perform surgery
on your body you expect to make an informed decision before you give your
consent. If you fail to ask the correct questions this will not absolve the
Doctor from giving you all the possible results and complications. To suggest
that the residents of this Tract consented to the abortion across the street is
a mean joke. This would have been a more appropriate disclosure:
"This subdivision is adjacent to a public park. It will include two full size
baseball diamonds, a combined soccer and football field, a single basketball
court, a childrens playground, and a red - roofed clubhouse facility. Every
square foot of this park will be utilized for the above- mentioned purposes.
The entire park will be floodlit with about 75 reflective floodlights, mounted
about six to a post, each post ascending approximately 60 feet in the
air.These lights will be utilized substantially all year and could be on as late
as 11 p.m. every night. The amount of candle power given off by these lights
will be such overkill that you will not need to light the interior of your
house. Due to the multitude of activities crammed onto this site, you can
expect very large crowds, particularly in summer, with consequent crowd
noise. Expect particularly high levels of disturbance if you adjoin La Vida
since the park was planned with all facilities on that side of the field rather
than the side adjoining MacArthur Blvd. Expect to hear basketball dribbling
at all hours of the day or night, as we have provided for a night light
-1q
• adjacent to the backboard. The roof of the Clubhouse will be the brightest
possible red."

I paid $10,000.00 more for my lot over an interior lot, since it had an
unobstructed view. In fact with the proper disclosure, I would never have
purchased this lot. The City and Bren should take responsibility for this and
re -think this park. My suggestion is that all lights be removed. No one
to this mess and think I the courts would agree.

RECREATION DIVISION
JANUARY, 1989 PROGRESS REPORT
Special Interest Classes
Item No. 19
Despite the inconvenience of closing down the Lincolm Gymnasium due to the
floor renovation, participation in gymnastics remains strong. The entire
program has been relocated to the Grant Howald Community Youth'Center.
Fitness classes are also recording high registration figures. The relocated
programs are maximizing the use of the Youth Center's activity room during
peak hours, Monday- Friday. The birthday party package which features the
use of gymnastics equipment is also utilizing the activity room on Saturdays.
Winter registration for tennis classes is lower than last year, most likely
due to the colder than usual winter. Planning is already beginning for
the Corona del Mar Scenic'5K, scheduled for Saturday, June 10, 1989. The
popular run is again co- sponsored by the Corona del Mar Chamber of Commerce.
Youth Activities
The basketball season has begun for elementary age youth and pee wees, with
practices scheduled at elementary school sites and games scheduled at the West
Newport Community Center gymnasium. The relocation of the program to the West
Newport Community Center for Saturday games has been well received. After -
school activities are in full swing at both Mariners Park and the Grant Howald
Community Youth Center following the winter vacation schedule.
Adult Sports /Aquatics
Winter /Spring softball registration ended January 20, and a total of 74 teams are
scheduled to play in the new league. This year's registration represents an
increase of 30 teams over last year, and 50 teams over the first winter league
conducted in 1987. Adult basketball got underway during the month with 49 teams
playing in the West Newport gym; an additional twenty (20)teams were turned away
due to a lack of available gym space. The sailing program is down over last
year, most likely due to the unusually -cold weather.
Older Adults Services
Although it took a long time, the Arts and Crafts Room is now completed with the
addition of heavy duty work tables and custom cabinets. The Friends of Oasis,
under the supervision of Alice Hawley, are purchasing the required tools and
supplies for the building. The Friends are planning an Open House on Wednesday,
February 8, at 2:30 P.M., with classes scheduled to begin on February 6. A
Caregivers Support Group began during January which received press coverage
in local newspapers. The group, led by Celeste Jardine -Haug and Mary Allen,
will meet on the first and third Wednesdays. The Friends Human Services Committee
is collecting donations of clothing and blankets for agencies which serve the
homeless and low income, and the results have been dramatic. The schedule of
activities for February is attached.
