City staff continue to work on the conditions of a new lease with the District. It is our understanding that the continuation of the lease at Lincoln is contingent upon the City participating in the cost of complete refurbishing of the restrooms on the site and revised maintenance responsibilities for the restrooms. The District should notify the City approximately February 1998 if it needs to discontinue City use of the gym after June 1998. It is anticipated that a similar annual process would be followed until a new school facility is completed in the down coast area. Because of the uncertainty of the use of the gym, the Community Services Department had explored and evaluated alternate venues to facilitate the existing established recreation programs. These included youth gymnastics, adult volleyball and basketball, and co- sponsored National Junior Basketball. Currently the gym is also utilized by rental groups; however, accommodations for these groups were not included in the planning. The Lincoln gymnasium is heavily used. Current use statistics are attached. Two alternate sites have been investigated and evaluated. Meetings have been held and proposed schedules have been made with both the Eastbluff Boys and Girls Club and Coastline College, which is currently occupying Eastbluff School on a lease from the School District. The Club's gym, which is comparable to the Lincoln gym, would be available to partially facilitate the afternoon and evening programming. Conflicts would arise in the Winter and Spring months when their large youth basketball program would preclude the City's use of the gym. The City Attorney's office is currently redrafting the City lease with the Boys and Girls Club: The expired lease required that the facility be available for use as a community center by the City Recreation Department. The second site, the multi- purpose room at Eastbluff School, would be available with a sublease from Coastline College to conduct the City's weekday youth gymnastics program. Actual fees and lease conditions are contingent on Coastline's lease negotiations with the School District. Full use of these facilities has been put on hold until the end of 1997 pending the School District's decision on the availability of the Lincoln gym for 1998/99.

A Quintet was provided for the 125 participants at the Over 80's party. The performance was well received and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Many of the participants at this event are unable to attend evening events; this gives them culture at their convenience. Twelve nursing students from Rancho Santiago College spent 2 full days at the Center observing and participating in classes and activities as part of their learning curriculum. Their instructor wanted them to interact with active older adults so that they understand that old doesn't mean failing. The students participated in exercise, water aerobics, painting, Spanish, the lunch program, took blood pressures, and were a big help with our Over 80's party. We were happy to hear about the positive experiences they had and how many of them could not believe what seniors do. .After much anticipation, the OASIS Center's largest classroom, which has an adjoining kitchen, has finished being remodeled. The room was in very poor condition and is used on a daily basis by both the Senior and Recreation Divisions. The xemodel included new paint, cabinets, counter tops, flooring, new sink, stove /oven, and resurfacing of walls. The total cost was $17,000. The work was completed by Tenant Works. After an extensive search, a new Recreation Coordinator for Senior Services has been hired to replace Laurell Detweiler, who resigned in January. Jan Koriath, who has a Bachelors Degree in Recreation from Cal State Long Beach, is coming from the City of Westminster where she holds the same position with the Westminster Senior Center. She has also worked at the Cerritos Senior Center during its first year in its new facility. The recruitment attracted sixty applicants. Jan will begin her work in Newport Beach on April 9. OASIS held its annual Volunteer Recognition on Monday, March 24. Those who performed a volunteer duty within the past year were honored for their hard work and dedication. A formal Tea was held with Entertainment from Xipe Totec Aztec Dancers. Approximately 150 volunteers were in attendance. On Wednesday, March 12, Librarians Susie Lamb and Susan Warren of the Central Library presented a program at OASIS on using your home computer to search the library's on -line catalog. The demonstration included using NEMO, the on -line catalog to search for library materials, placing a reserve on a book, and searching for magazine articles on the data base. The program was sponsored by the OASIS Computer Club. The AARP supported volunteer tax assistance program is booming with all the appointment times filled through April 15. Five volunteers, dedicated and patient people who have been trained by the IRS, are •spending many hours preparing taxes for seniors. To date 166 tax interviews have been conducted; 130 Federal and 125 State returns completed. Larry White, a Newport Beach resident who serves as the local coordinator for the program, is to be commended for his devotion. The program is sponsored by the IRS and'the American Association of Retired. People. Plans are underway for the Annual Community Health Fair to be held on April 19 from 8 -5 p.m. As •always Hoag Hospital is providing us with many exhibits, educational materials and volunteer nurses.
