that participate in this program each weeknight.
City Athletic Field Schedule - A full schedule of youth and adult fall sports is underway and
the scheduling,plan is working pretty well. Many different entities. are required to share
fields and this demands cooperation by everyone. Attached is an annual field schedule that
is displays the incredible usage of City athletic fields.
City of Newport Beach Surf Championships - The 1996 City of Newport Beach Pro -Am Surf
• Championships, co- sponsored by Rusty Surfboards, Inc., will take place Friday through Sunday,
September 27, 28 and 29 at 54th Street. Heats will be held from 7:00 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. each day.
This event traditionally attracts many of the top surfers in the country to compete for over $6,000 in
cash and prizes. The contest also offers a unique opportunity for the youth of the community to
compete against, and socialize with, the idols that they see at the O.P. Pro and other world class
surfing events. The Recreation Division will, once again, utilize the assistance of the Marine
Division for safety concerns and General Services for set -up and strike duties.
ilin - After a very busy summer, staffhas evaluated the condition of the boat inventory. Under
the continuing agreement, Shock Boats will systematically refurbish the current fleet of sabots. A
rotation of six boats at a time will be in the shop in an effort to be completed by next Summer and
to allow for enough boats to conduct off season sailing lessons. The sailing base at 19th street is
under construction for the ADA requirements and will not be used as a sailing base for the
upcoming quarter.

the City Council on September 23. It was referred to the City Council Finance Committee.

Item No. 3
• COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT
DATE: September 24, 1996
TO: Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Commission
FROM: Celeste Jardine -Haug, Senior Services Manager
SUBJECT: Senior Services Division - Monthly Commission Report
With the onset of Fall the Senior Center is back in full swing again. All classes are back in
session: the Pancake Breakfast is on the 2nd Saturday of each month; planning is underway for
the Fall season events and the school tutoring program has returned.
One of the programs that the Senior Division can be proud of is the Intergenerational Program.
This program assists children of all ages with school work. The program is small in numbers but
strong in it's impact. Tutors from OASIS volunteer at Harbor View Elementary., Ensign
Intermediate, Harbor High, and also run an after school homework program at the Community
Youth Center. The satisfaction that is gained from providing- a child with assistance has been
very ,rewarding for the tutors.
• The Friends of OASIS, the staff and transportation clients are very excited and grateful to Hoag
Memorial Presbyterian Hospital for the Hoag Health Partnership Grant to the Friends. The grant
provides for a 15 passenger bus,, with wheelchair lift, and the services of a driver, five days a
week.
In addition to the new 15 passenger bus, the OASIS fleet includes two 9 passenger vans, with
service jointly funded by the City and the Friends of OASIS. Two transportation programs are
offered to Newport Beach residents unable to transport themselves. For seniors who need
transportation for medical appointments, grocery shopping and banking, the Care -a -Van is
available. Those who require transportation from their home to the OASIS Center may qualify
for the shuttle program. Both programs are offered Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to
4:00 p:m. by reservation only..
The Friends of OASIS held their Annual Rummage Sale on Saturday and Sunday, September 28
and 29. This event generally raises $10,000 which Is used to support special programs at the
OASIS Center. Volunteers work diligently at pricing and sorting rummage all month.
Approximately 60 volunteers were involved in this fundraising effort.
Staff has been busy planning for the Flu Shot Clinic, Halloween party /luncheon, Thanksgiving
an& Christmas. Classes and activities have been filled to capacity with a special interest in
computer learning.
