Community Services - Manager McGuire noted that in addition to the written report that Marilyn Fisher, Recreation Manager had resigned but will be independent contractor to run the Corona del Mar 5K, Easter Egg Hunt and the Youth Government Day. Chair Beek congratulated staff on the Special Olympics and noted how efficiently and organized it was. 6. Bayside Drive Reforestation Proiect - Commissioner Macfarland asked the history of the is project. Director Niederhaus stated that Southern California Edison (SCE) has topped the Eucalyptus trees for power line clearance so many times that they no longer resemble trees anymore. SCE is willing to remove the trees to ground level so that another species (Gold Medallion) can be planted. General Services will be responsible for removing the stump and /or planting the trees in another location. He stated that it was cost prohibitive to place the power lines underground. Commissioner Skoro noted his agreement with the plan, and noted that it was long overdue, this was a prime example of bad planting. Chair Beek agreed with Commissioner Skoro, but stated to Director Niederhaus that the item should not have been placed under the consent calendar and that the General Services Department should have notified all homeowners and associations that this would be discussed tonight. Director Niederhaus stated that staff met recently onsite with the two Associations regarding the project and met with no disagreement. Chair Beek opened the public hearing Virginia Herberts, 2290 Channel Road, stated that the homeowners have not been notified of • this hearing. She stated that she had talked to the presidents of the Associations, who remembered the onsite meeting but not specific of removing the Eucalyptus trees. She stated that over 100 people are against the removal of the trees and that they actually hold up the cliff, Ms. Herberts suggested that other trees such as the Carrotwood be planted in between the Eucalyptus and that more time be spent on trimming the trees. Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Regular Meeting April 4, 2000 • Page 3 Jan Vandersloot, 2221 E. 16`h Street, stated that the trees should be planted between the Eucalyptus and that the power lines are the problems and urged the Commission to get them moved underground. Commissioner Skoro stated that in order to do that 35 homeowners must be willing to pay to have it done, of that only 2 of them expressed their acceptance. Director Niederhaus stated that to move the lines underground that it could cost as much as $50,000 per block and that the only alternative is to pass the costs on to the adjacent homeowners. Mr. Vandersloot suggested that the City negotiate with SCE and that between the two fund the project. He also stated that the removal of the 21 Eucalyptus trees does not meet the criteria of the new G -1 Policy, specifically the Gold Medallion are 24" box trees, the policy specifically states that they must be 36 ". There is no justification for the removal. Director Niederhaus stated that there is not enough growth space for 36" box trees to be planted and that the Gold Medallion, the specified street tree is not available in that size. He reminded the Commission that this is not a removal request but a request for reforestation. • Discussion ensued regarding the growth space needed. Aldon Kelly, SPON Arborist, stated that a competent tree trimmer could prune the tree away from the power lines and would learn to grow away from the power lines. Chair Beek closed the public hearing Commissioner Skoro stated that the removal of the trees was discussed at the Irvine Terrace Homeowners Association last month, and that John Long strongly endorsed the project. Commissioner Franklin stated that a reasonable compromise was to plant the Gold Medallion trees between the Eucalyptus. Director Neiderhaus suggested that the Commission continue this item for 90 days and go forward on planting the Gold Medallion trees. Motion by Commissioner Skoro that the City plan the Gold Medallion trees, contact Aldon Kelly, SPON Arborist for his recommendations on trimming and pruning the Eucalyptus trees, return to Commission in 90 days for an update and possible removal of the trees. Motion carried by acclamation. • 7.

Motion by Commissioner Pfaff to approve the amended Youth Groups contract. Motion carried by acclamation. DISCUSSION ITEMS 8. Installation of Batting Cage at Eastbluff Park - Manager McGuire stated that General Services and Community Services staff met with Dave Sprowl, CdM Pony Baseball, and members of the Boys @ Girls Club along with Pat Beek to discuss the location of a batting cage. Discussion ensued regarding visibility to homeowners and removal of 4 parking spaces. Manager McGuire stated that she had talked to Planning Director Temple who stated that a building permit would be needed to construct the batting cage and that there were more than enough parking spaces for the location. Chair Beek opened the public hearing Dave Sprowl, President, CdM Pony Baseball, stated that the teams have grown from 2 to 5 in the last year and continues to grow. They are only allocated one practice field for these 13- • 14 year old youth and that without the batting cage they cannot effectively practice them. Discussion ensued regarding noise and visibility of homeowners. Mr. Sprowl stated that noise abatement materials would be used and offered to make it creme - colored to blend in. Chair Beek closed the public hearing Motion by Commissioner Pfaff that project move forward with notices being forwarded to the thirteen affected homes. Motion carried by acclamation. 9. Tree Removal or Reforestation Requests - Director Niederhaus stated that with the newly revised G -1 Policy, that staff would not forward the report with recommendations but instead would present the formal report with color pictures and appropriate background information so that the Commission can take appropriate action based on Policy criteria. A. Paul L. Root — 1915 Glenwood Lane Commissioner Macfarland stated that the Commission are not urban foresters and that staff should provide recommendations, • Director Niederhaus stated that it was his decision for staff to remain neutral in the written reports, but if recommendations are wanted, staff can provide that. rI LJ Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Regular Meeting April 4, 2000 Page 5 Commissioner Macfarland stated that the Commission would not know the history and that the G -1 specifically states that the Urban Forrester will make recommendations to the Commission. Director Niederhaus stated that Mr. Root's request would not meet the G -1 Policy criteria for removal. He stated that no prior bills for root damage had been attached, but that the hardscape had been repaired by City crews. Commissioner Pfaff stated that this request has no documentation or proven repeated history of hardscape damage. Why would it be forwarded to Commission if it had not met that criteria? Chair Beek opened the Public Hearing. Aldon Kelly, SPON Arborist, stated that the smaller of the Liquid Amber trees would probably not last more than a year, but that the larger one could start to become a problem in 5 years. Commissioner Skoro asked Mr. Kelly if he was advocating removal. 40 Mr. Kelly stated that nothing should be done until it dies. Jan Vandersloot, 2221 E. 16`" Street, stated that the decision to remove these trees should be based on the criteria for removal listed in the G -1 Policy. This request clearly does not meet the criteria and urged the Commission to deny the request. Iryne Black, stated that the staff should not take a neutral position, and that they should offer a recommendation to the Commission. Chair Beek closed the public hearing. Motion by Commissioner Skoro to deny the request for removal of 2 Liquid Amber trees by Paul Root, 1915 Glenwood Lane. Motion carried by acclamation. B. Karen Balgie, 2228 Holiday Road Director Niederhaus stated that some of the trees on Holiday Road are infested with lerps or Lerp Psylid. He stated that staff hopes that the trees will survive the disease but that it does create a mess for the homeowners. Staff has used Lady Bugs to try to rectify the problem, but it has not proven as a remedy. He stated that they are not ready to give up on the trees, and are trying to save them. • Commissioner Macfarland asked if these trees meet the qualification of "diseased" as noted in the G -1 Policy? Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Regular Meeting April 4, 2000 • Page 6 Director Niederhaus stated that these trees are not in a state of decline, they are trees with the most disease. He stated that it is too early to tell if they will survive. Chair Beek stated that it is only the Eucalyptus Globulus that are the special trees and not the others listed. Director Niederhaus confirmed this. Director Niederhaus stated that some of the diseased trees reside partly on private and public land, but that they are City owned trees. He noted that none of the trees listed on any of the removal request are on private property. Commissioner Macfarland asked if they meet the criteria for hardscape damage. Director Niederhaus stated that they did not. Chair Beek opened the public hearine Todd Schooler, 2234 Holiday Road, although not listed as an item tonight, he also has the same problem with lerps and that any decision should include his property. Chair Beek stated that they cannot discuss his property. IV Karen Balgie, 2228 Holiday Road, stated that they are requesting removal of 3 Red Gum trees that are infested with lerps. She stated that with the droppage trom the trees that it has becomes a health hazard as well as a problem of keeping the area and the house clean. She stated that discussions have taken place of using Australian Wasps to remedy the infestation. She stated that she is completely against anything being brought over from another country that could cause harm. Commissioner Franklin asked if the reason they were requesting removal is because of the disease. Ms. Balgie stated yes. Aldon Kelly, SPON Arborist, stated that the lerps appeared approximately 25 months ago. He stated that by bringing in the wasps that it could help the infestation but would not cure the problem. He stated that he has noticed that some of the trees are responding to the Lady Bug remedy. He suggested using different soil treatments or microinjections. He stated that this problem will be with these trees for a long time, and really does not know the right answer. He stated that he did not know how he would feel if this problem was in his front yard. He stated that it would get worse before it gets better. Jan Vandersloot, 2221 E. 16`" Street, stated that these trees should not be removed until there is no prospect for recovery, he recommended that the City look into other • treatments that could help the trees as well as the homeowners. Chair Beek closed the public hearine r� U Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Regular Meeting April 4, 2000 Page 7 Commissioner Skoro asked if the trees could be nurtured along. Director Niederhaus stated that it would be premature to remove the trees, but suggested that those homeowners complete a reforestation request on Holiday Road. Chair Beek asked why state funds couldn't be requested for the removal of the lerps as the Fire Ant. Director Niederhaus stated that the Fire Ant could be fatal to small children or older adults, whereas the lerps are just a nuisance. After much discussion, Chair Beek stated that the Commission would take the tree removal requests from Holiday Road as one item. B. Karen Balgie, 2228 Holiday Road C. Michael Weinstein, 2240 Holiday Road D. Judy Siemonsma, 2222 Holiday Road Chair Beek opened the public hearing Michael Weinstein, 2240 Holiday Road, asked why do they have to wait for these trees to die for the City to do something. He stated that they are a danger to human beings and that there is constantly a mess because these trees are possibly rotting. He stated that he has a real concern of limbs breaking off and hurting his or neighborhood children. He stated that reforestation was never discussed that the only process that was encouraged by the City was a removal request. He stated that he would gladly pay $1,000 to have the trees removed in his yard and plant the appropriate tree. He left by asking the Commission "would you want this mess in your front yard, I don't think so." Todd Schooler, 2234 Holiday Road, stated that his biggest concern is the danger that these trees pose. He stated that nobody wants all the trees removed just the diseased ones. Commissioner Skoro questioned SPON Arborist, on the safety of these trees. Aldon Kelly, SPON Arborist, stated that he did not believe that the winds could topple these trees; but again stated that if this problem was in his front year, he was not sure that he wouldn't feel the same way. He stated that the biggest problem of these trees is that they are a nuisance. Commissioner Pfaff asked whether they could be pruned. Mr. Kelly stated that it was inadvisable to prune. He stated that bringing in the Australian • Wasps is a good next step, and that these wasps do not resemble or act like the wasps that we think of. Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Regular Meeting April 4, 2000 • Page 8 Jody Siemonsma, 2222 Holiday Road, stated that her approach has been repaired, and that one -inch in diameter limbs have fallen down on their vehicle. He stated that they have Roto Rooter come every 6 months. Jan Vandersloot, 2221 E. 16`h Street, distributed photos of the trees, stating that it appears that there is new growth on these trees and that they have a possibility of recovery. Eucalyptus tree limbs tend to fall. He stated that these homeowners should be commended for the clean up that they do but urged the Commission to deny the request for removal until time has passed. Commissioner Skoro suggested that this be tabled for 6 months until the remedy for the trees have had time to work. Director Niederhaus stated that it is premature to remove these trees, he suggested again that the group look at the reforestation option. Commissioner Skoro stated that he sympathizes with the homeowners, but that more time should go by until a decision can be made. Chair Beek closed the public hearin¢ Motion by Chair Beek to remove the diseased Red Gum trees at 7.222, 2228 and 2240 Holiday Road with the stipulation that the homeowner will donate the cost of replacing the trees with the approved Willow Leafed Peppermint street tree. Jan Vandersloot, 2221 E. 16`h Street, stated that there in nothing in the G -1 Policy to allows for the removal of these trees, and suggested that the homeowners petition their neighbors. Iryne Black stated that the Commission should check with the City Attorney regarding the donation from the homeowners. Commissioner Skoro stated that he agrees with Commissioner Franklin and that the homeowners should look at the reforestation suggestion. Commissioner Pfaff stated that reforestation is a good idea, but keeping the homeowners in turmoil is not the answer either. Motion fails by the following vote: Ayes: Beek, Pfaff, Tobin Nays: Franklin, Macfarland, Skoro • Motion by Chair Beek to remove the 5 diseased Red Gum trees at 2222, 2228 and 2240 Holiday Road.

They are causing leaf damage and drop which may stress trees and make them susceptible to fatal attack by other • insects. Some of the Eucalyptus species have been heavily attacked and resulting in heavy leaf drop and large amounts of honeydew.This results in blackened foliage due to sooty mold.These psyllids form a lerp, which is a secretionary structure produced by the nymphs as a protective cover.'Lerp' is a term derived from an aboriginal Australian language describing this cover. To date the psyllid has been recorded on these species in California: E. camaldulensis ( =E. rostrata), E. rudis, E. globulus, E. deiversicolor, and E. sideroxylon and the list keeps expanding. Infestations have been observed in most counties in California where Euca- lyptus are grown. Glycaspis is a diverse Genus and contains 127 species that occur throughout Australia and beyond to the Philippine Islands. Most of the specie's are associated with Eucalyptus spp. but there are 12 associated with Melaleuca spp.. The lerps (resembling scales) differ for most species of psyllids even those in the same genus. CONTROL & SUPPRESSION of REDGUM LERP PSYLLID (RLP). IMICIDE containing Imidacloprid, a chemical developed by Bayer Chemical carries a "CAUTION" label and is categorized as a "Reduced Risk Pesticide" by EPA. IMICIDE is a systemic chemical that provides long residual control & suppression of many insect pests including RLP. It has been reported to be effec- tive with some insects & trees for several seasons. IMICIDE trials for the control & suppression of RLP have been conducted by Cal -Poly University at Pomona under the supervision of Dr. Lester Young, Entomologist. Those trials have demonstrated to date over 4 months control of treated trees to untreated trees. The second phase of those trials are to determine the extent of residual in the continued study to control and suppress the Redgum Lerp Psyllid. SOMETHINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN USING IMICIDE FOR RLP. 1. Use as a preventive when local infestations are present in the vicinity. 2. The fastest and most effective control is achieved when applied at the earliest signs of infestation. 3. When Injecting trees be sure to follow all the recommendations found in the Mauget Home Study Course and the product label for using Mauget products including but not limited to adequate soil moisture, to provide fast uptake and distribution of the chemical. 4. The healthier the tree the better the results achieved. Don't wait until trees are in an advanced state of defoliation or have defoliated several times, severely stressed trees may not respond at all. 5. Continued leaf drop and honeydew production may still occur after treatment. This is a result of extensive damage that has already occurred to the leaves by the RLP, and the leafs ability to still function. In this case, protection of the new leaves by IMICIDE would be the desired result in order to save the tree. The new growth is the insects preferred feeding area. Without new foliage development caused by continued feeding, the tree most probably will die. 6. Some Psyllids will always be present on leaves. The insect must first feed on the leaves in order for the systemic chemical (IMICIDE) to kill the adult and the nymph underneath the Lerp, new eggs are continuously hatching. There will also be pressure of continuous infestation from surrounding untreated trees. 7. Fertilizing trees before or at the time of treatment with IMICIDE, may improve results, including tree vitality.

Termite and dry rot damage to the large patio cover adjacent to the main building mandated demolishing the existing patio cover and rebuilding a new one. The original cost estimate was $27,000, but plan changes required by the Building Department resulted in a final cost of $30,408. A special appropriation of $27,000 was made by City Council for this project. The additional funds to complete the work were expended from the Recreation Division Capital Improvement Project budget. New Law on Prescription Drugs for Seniors - Effective February 1, 2000, a new California law (SB393) allows a discount on some prescription drugs. This law requires pharmacies to give seniors a 10% to 40 % discount on prescriptions that are governed by the Medi -Cal pricing system. Seniors must present their Medicare card to the pharmacy and ask for the 'State Discount Price ". The pharmacy must then only charge the same discounted price they charge the government for Medi- Cal patients. Because Medicare currently does not pay for prescriptions, this is a substantial benefit to seniors. • Osteoporosis Series - A three part osteoporosis prevention series began April 19, with a lecture by Dr. Christine Dueck on prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The second lecture on April 27, entitled Build Your Bones, concentrated on exercise for people with osteoporosis. The series also featured bone density screening by Invictus, Inc., which were available by appointment on April 21 OASIS Twilight Dinner - The meals program tried a new approach by offering an early dinner program. The first dinner was on Friday April 7 and offered a hot meal and entertainment for the cost of five dollars. South County Senior Services, the meals provider at the Center, is interested in boosting their number of people served and therefore are exploring new ways to serve the needs of seniors. The initial step has proven to be successful, as judged by the 135 people in attendance. Future twilight dinners will most likely be offered on a once a month basis. Tax Program - The AARP sponsored tax program concluded this month with a record number of returns prepared — 337 Federal, and 312 State. Over 600 hours were given by devoted volunteer preparers. OASIS was proud to learn that the Center had an accuracy rate of 98.5% last year and are confident that it will be the same or better this year. The tax counselors this year were excellent. Larry White is the overall manager for this site; he was assisted by tax counselors Claudia Owen, John Farmer, John Bean, Bob Paulson, Jack Bullard, Ray Calusi and Stewart Berkshire. n LJ 9 0 Monthly Activities Report Page 6 OASIS SENIOR CENTER PARTICIPANTS ATTENDING RECREATIONAL CLASSES PERSONALIZED SERVICES PROVIDED Includes: (Item 3) May 2, 2000 9,706 CUSTOMERS 4,465 CUSTOMERS 1,830 CUSTOMERS Another Passage 3 Front Office Travel Office Blood Pressure 61 Housing counseling 40 Braille 83 Information /Referral 1,145 Counseling 60 Legal Assistance 12 Eldercare 3 Senior Assessment(hrs) 35 Employment 50 Telephone Reassurance 321 HICAP 5 Visual Screening 12 SENIORS RECEIVING TRANSPORTATION SERVICES Care -A -Van 661 Shuttle 359 CUSTOMERS RECEIVING NOON MEALS AT THE CENTER VOLUNTEER HRS.

BACKGROUND The attached correspondence was received from resident Cort Ensign, requesting improvements of the existing view park at Newporter North. Currently the park consists of an asphalt walkway from San Joaquin Hills Road to stairs leading down to trails in the Back Bay. This area is listed in the Park and Open Space Element, Service Area 9. ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION 1. The area is environmentally sensitive, and is regulated by the attached Coastal Development Permit no. 5 -95 -048 which restricts uses to passive open space and public view park only. 2. This is a Coastal Sage Scrub Habitat Restoration /Revegetation area (attached). 3. The City of Newport Beach has not accepted maintenance of this area. Attachments 1. Correspondence from Cort Ensign, 3/27/00 2. Coastal Development Permit no. 5 -95 -048, 6/27/95 3.

Currently, the park is not benefiting anyone. I would like to see the land developed into a park that would serve the communities of Newport Beach. The park is an ideal location, with several acres of natural habitat area and scenic views to Catalina. I have enclosed a rendition of what such a park might look like. The land is already set aside. Please assist me in this effort. I will follow -up in a few days to see that you received this information. In the interim, please contact me if I can be of assistance. Sincerely, Z° ZZ Cort Ensign • Resident, Harbor Cove Community, Newport Beach Telephone # (949) 252 -6471 1105 Quail Street • Newport Beach, CA 92660 Tel: 888/252 -1730 • Fax 949/252 -1163 • Website: www.starcomind.com 0 Benefits of Park Represents an ideal location with tremendous views of the lower back bay. Will provide the community with a location to enjoy community events and family gatherings as well as a place to spend quiet time, reading or enjoying beautiful sunsets and viewing the city sponsored fireworks display. Will encourage greater use of the open space currently set aside. Offers viewing of natural habitat areas as well as grand views of the upper back bay from high above the Cliffs. Will provide older children the only grass park area within a one mile radius to serve the Harbor Cove, Park Newport, Sea Island and surrounding communities. These communities comprise close to 2000 residential dwellings. Will help facilitate greater use of the existing land currently set aside for park use. Park as outlined below: • Would be contained by a 4' inside splitface concrete block wall for safety that would not exceed more than 1' over the existing unimproved terrain. Would include a reduced 3' section of the wall at the benches for viewing the lower back bay and Catalina Island. Would include a service vehicle turnaround area that could also accommodate a half - court 3 -point basketball court. Would be large enough to incorporate a 110' by 190' grass play area. Would include picnic benches in close proximity and away from the grass play area to accommodate community/birthday parties of 50 or more. Would include a 5' concrete walkway surrounding the grass play area for added safety, ease of maintenance, and access to benches when grass is wet. (Note: width of concrete walk around perimeter of grass is not to scale). Would have a drinking fountain, twin split level pull -up bars and parallel bars for upper body workouts, all placed in woodcbips for handicap accessibility. Irrigation and drainage are already provided. The plan incorporates low cost materials • and low on -going maintenance costs. No plant materials are required except grass. n �J • LVAI CD Z (p m m [ O• 7 m O N Y A N G ('1 �$ V C5 S 9 V r D O D n /�� l 1 O CD o ?� z T D Y� m PO =7 NJtl30 T �o D D � A W Z K O r ? s C 2 c D K LVAI CD Z (p m m 7 O m ^cn i� r D O D n /�� l 1 O CD o ?� z T D Y� m PO =7 NJtl30 T �o jag i w.Tr i [ Ma a a g�� py S 4 ! 8 Eli i m n m m u• a f •c w � `lrs� c O � ss Z I .a G: 4e f� 1111.1 y gg4 $ �Etg a 1 � C 1 S k f E E 1 \ i It gg \ a a u R f f, f f -- f ` T.

This restoration is to replace habitat last to the construction of this planned • residential project, create additional gnatcatcher habitat, and enhance and restore the quality of the adjacent'e fisting CSS. This will provide increased habitat and dispersal linkage for the California gnatcatcher population within the Upper Newport Bay area. Relocating CSS topsoil from selected areas to be graded, seeding, planting and supplemental planting of containerized plants will be used as methods of revegetation. The relocation of the topsoil is to take place during the pro- cess of grading In August and September of 1995; the initial seeding and planting are to be done during the fail and winter of 1995/96; and the sup-. plemental planting and seeding completed during the fall and winter of 1996/97. The location of this 5.5 acres of restoration area has been selected to provide linkage and habitat on the three sides of the project closest to the bay. The location of the specific treatment areas are shown on Figures 3 and 4. �1ati Graded Areas A 6.0 acre portion of the project graded area will be revegetated with CSS. This includes the slope above San Joaquin Hills Road, which will be stabi- lized, and the flat area and gentle slopes at the top of the bluff and at the south end of the project.

The implementation of these three Items Is required as part of the conditions for approval of Tentative Tract No. 15011 and Site Plan Review No. 70, and as additional mitigation measures developed for the Interim Habitat Loss Mitigation Plan pursuant to the NCCP interim process guidelines and the 4 (d) Special Rule. The location of the Newporter North project is shown on Figure 1. OBJECTIVE This plan details the tasks required for the restoration and replacement of the CSS within and adjacent to the Newporter North project (Figure 2). This restoration Is to replace habitat lost to the construction of this planned residential project, create additional gnatcatcher habitat, and enhance and restore the quality of the adjacent'e)dsting CSS. This will provide increased habitat and dispersal linkage for the California gnatcatcher population within the Upper Newport Bay area. Relocating CSS topsoil from selected areas to be graded, seeding, planting and supplemental planting of containerized plants will be used as methods of revegetation. The relocation of the topsoil is to take place during the pro- cess of grading In August and September of 1995; the initial seeding and planting are to be done during the fall and winter of 1995196; and the sup- plemental planting and seeding completed during the fall and winter of 1996/97. The location of this 5.5 acres of restoration area has been selected to provide linkage and habitat on the three sides of the project closest to the bay. The location of the specific treatment areas are shown on Figures 3 and 4. OVERVIEW Graded Areas A 6.0 acre portion of the project graded area will be revegetated with CSS. This includes the slope above San Joaquin Hills Road, which will be stabi- lized, and the flat area and gentle slopes at the top of the bluff and at the south end of the project. These areas are to be planted with container 11ro7M(I:.sr0501.rssnESULN) 0 • xA g I )I" J 11'in�l�l� Ai if I r Yu \ if I )0 t` :i 1 11 Iluli it 1 R ?� ft ft R R IR R R p ?� p p R" R A 0 0" p i I f�� R Rf! 1� ?I 1� R 0 E • UZI ft A " " p " R R m R R p p ft p " r* R ".

Preserved Scrub Above San Joaquin Hills Road r This area will receive supplemental planting following the removal of invasive exotic plants, which will leave bare areas in the existing vegetation. Neuporter Knoll Establishing CSS on the Newporter Knoll will be accomplished by installing container plants in scattered groupings throughout the site followed by hand seeding of those areas. Although the gross area of this site is 12 acres, the plant establishment area will be less, because only 8.8 acres is covered with annual grasses. The remainder of the area is existing CSS and wetland. The strategy for this site is to get some CSS started, with widespread estab- lishment occurring over a longer term than on the other areas in the project. Site preparation for these areas will consist of cutting and removing the annual grasses and scarifying each planting location. It is recognized that a sizable seed bank of the annual grasses exists on these areas. For this rea- son, installing container plants along with the sowing of some seed on a portion of the area was chosen over the use of seed only. The seed of native perennial species does not compete well with non - native annuals. PLANT PALETTES ® The plant palettes for the CSS revegetation were selected to replicate as ® closely as possible the existing CSS community that will be lost to grading and CSS found on the adjacent slopes and bluff. For this reason, the 6.0 ® acres of replacement in the graded area has been broken into two separate treatment areas: 1) the slope above San Joaquin Hills Road; and 2) the grad- ed areas behind the bluff and road slope. 1 Graded Slope Above San Joaquin Hills Road Coastal Sage Scrub Container Plants The plant list for the container plants to be used in the 2.5 acre slope above San Joaquin Hills Road is as follows: 11/07M(L.sr0501%CSS EST.rtty) 6 s a 1� s Scientific Name Common Name Dudleya lanceolata Isocoma menziesii Baccbaris pilularis Nassella pulcbra Sambucus mexicana Leymus condensates Isomeris arborea Suae,da taxifolia Artemisia californica Encelia caltfornica Total Number of Plants rst,tmocraus, au.

For those species that do not exist in large enough quantities within this area to provide adequate seed for the project, it will be necessary to use seed collected from other areas within a three mile radius of the restoration site. Seed for this region was limited during 1994 due to the October, 1993, Laguna Canyon fire; however, it is hoped that availability will be greater for 1995. Limitations in seed availabili- ty will be accommodated by off -site seed collection, and possibly the propa- t gation of some species from cuttings, if necessary. Provisions will be made with a seed collection contractor as soon as possible to ensure that plant and seed materials will be collected from sites as close to the revegetation area as possible. The required nursery stock shall be contract grown by a coastal nursery that has experience in growing native plants (e.g., Tree of Life Nursery or Village Nursery), to ensure that propa- gules used are collected from approved sites. All planting stock shall be grown in the nursery for a period of at least four, and preferably six, months. With the exception bf the cactus, all plants shall be delivered for planting in s� D40 containers in a healthy growing condition, with roots filling the con- tainer but showing no tendency toward being roothound. The cactus shall be grown from cuttings in one gallon containers. i Recommended Planting and Seeding Times i The normal germination period for native vegetation and the best season for plant root development and establishment in Southern California occurs during the winter rainy season. For this reason, the planting and seeding of 1w7 vs(T.�SP050 1•cssnPST.PIN) 12 i � M A%Wdab{ 1n the CSS revegetation should be done between approximately October 15 and February 15. However, optimal results will likely be obtained from Novem- ber and December plantings and seeding, depending on the timing of sea- sonal rains. Normally, no revegetation or remedial planting and seeding would occur between February 15 and October 15, because germination is unlikely to occur and plants will likely die due to a lack of moisture. Irriga- tion should not be used to lengthen the planting window. If anything the use of irrigation to lengthen the planting season will be detrimental by favor- ing the growth of annual weeds, which will surpass the growth of the native, plants. However, where CSS is installed on manufactured slopes such as is the case for this project, irrigation helps, over time, to loosen the compacted soil through the wetting and drying process, which causes the soil to swell and shrink. Site Preparation Requirements Graded Areas The slopes of the graded revegetation areas should be finished in a manner that provides a good (e.g., scarified) substrate, with minimum soil compac- tion. The surface of the large regraded slope immediately above San Joaquin Hills Road should be finished with a sheepsfoot roller (as opposed to grid rolling) or trackwalked to provide a surface that offers 'safe sites' for seed to germinate and reduce surficial erosion. Following grading the gentle slope of the graded area at the top of the bluff shall be ripped to a depth of 18 inches. This will be done prior to the replacement of the topsoil. S J9 Weed Control In order to maximize the probability of successful revegetation in graded is areas, the seed bed and the planting site must be as weed free as possible. If for some reason it is not possible to complete the planting and seeding immediately following grading it will be necessary to remove all weeds that may become established between the completion of grading and the seeding and planting of the site. This weed eradication is required prior to the 39 weeds going to seed and/or implementation of the plan. Control will employ mechanical methods and/or EPA labeled herbicides; no pre- emergent herbi- if fides may be used. In order to prevent unnecessary competition with the native plant communi- ty to be established, no grasses shall be seeded or planted as erosion control measures prior to the native vegetation. In case of heavy rainfall conditions, non - vegetative erosion control measures (i.e., sandbags, jute netting, etc.) are to be used on the graded slopes between the completion of the grading and the installation of the planned native plant community. 11m7.s5(r:.sro5011cssaesr.rrrr) 13 1 All of the woody species shall be cut clean, as close to the soil surface as possible, avoiding breakage of the remaining stem. Immediately after cutting, /. the sawdust is to be brushed or wiped off the stump, and the stump is to be 11ro7M(r:.sr0501.tssnrsrrtr) 14 tsn wvocwns, 1n Soil Relocation/Soil Treatments �. The spreading of CSS topsoil onto the revegetation sites is very valuable in reestablishing the native species. This topsoil contains the spores of mycorrhizal fungi, and many seeds and roots of the desired plant species. In the coastal sage scrub areas (on the fiat, not the slope above the road) to be cleared and grubbed, the top six inches of topsoil will be removed, stock- ! piled, and subsequently placed on the finished slopes to be restored to CSS. This is to be done only to those areas above the San Joaquin Hills Road slope that are deemed practicable by the Revegetation Specialist after consul- tation with the contractor. The boundaries of the topsoil recovery areas, as well as the stockpile areas, will be designated by the Revegetation Specialist before or at the time of grading. Prior to recovering the topsoil, all vegetation In the recovery area is to be shredded in place. The topsoil is then to be picked up (preferably with pad- dle scrapers, but windrowing and picking up with a front end loader may be used), and stockpiled for placement on the finished slopes of the project. The recovered topsoil is to be placed as a top dressing on the restoration sites to an approximate depth of three to six Inches. It is to be spread loose- ly, minimizing compaction by equipment (e.g., truck and scraper tires), and is to be bonded to the relocation site with a sheepsfoot roller. �. Removal of Exotic Vegetation In Preserved CSS Area The slope above San Joaquin Hills Road between Back Bay Drive and the Project limits of grading is covered with CSS that has been invaded by exotic vegetation over the past 20 years. Most of this exotic vegetation has become established as a result of the moisture that has been added to the site through the storm drains that empty onto the Newporter North flat. This added moisture Is conducive to the germination and growth of such plant species as pampas grass (Cortader a selloana), Brazilian pepper (Scbinus terebintbifolius), myoporum (M"porum laetum), and tamarisk (Tamartx i sp.), which require more moisture than the native CSS. All of these species plus artichoke thistle (Cynara cardunculus), tree tobacco Q tcotiana glaura), and yellow sweet clover (melilotus indica) are present in this dis- turbed plant commilnity. The pampas grass is to be removed mechanically, making certain that enough of the root system is removed so that it does not have the ability to resprout. All of the artichoke thistle shall be sprayed to wet with a two percent solu- tion of Roundup (glyphosate) to which a dye or colorant shall be mixed in order to identify the treated individuals. 1 All of the woody species shall be cut clean, as close to the soil surface as possible, avoiding breakage of the remaining stem. Immediately after cutting, /. the sawdust is to be brushed or wiped off the stump, and the stump is to be 11ro7M(r:.sr0501.tssnrsrrtr) 14 LLt Aaodaa; Inc treated with Roundup or Rodeo, painted on at full strength. An approved • dye or colorant shall be mixed with the herbicide to Identify sprayed stumps. Delay in painting the stumps may result in less than optimum results. All vegetative material resulting from the treatment of these species shall be disposed of off site. Nothing need be done about the sweet clover because this species should disappear as a result of the grading, which is expected to reduce the amount of moisture reaching this slope. Neuporter Knoll The existing vegetation on the knoll is mainly annual grasses with some artichoke thistle, curly dock (Rumex crispus), western ragweed (Ambrosia psilostacbya), and a very occasional California sagebrush in the northwest corner. In the grouping areas to be planted with container plants, which will be staked by the Revegetation Specialist, the annual grasses and any other non - native species that might be present are to be cut and removed by hand. All of the artichoke thistle shall be sprayed to wet with a two percent solu- tion of Rodeo (glyphosate approved for use near bodies of water) to which a dye or colorant shall be mixed in order to identify the treated Individuals. Fencing and Signing In order to prevent the public from walking through the restoration areas, it will be necessary to install temporary fencing in those areas where perma- nent fencing is not to be installed. A six foot high temporary chain link fence with gate Is to be installed along the bottom of the slope bordering San Joaquin Hills Road to the junction with Back Bay Drive. In addition to potential damage from human trespass, abundant rabbits, pocket gophers and ground squirrels in the area may be expected to browse on plantings. If the revegetation monitor determines that the plantings are being jeopardized by wildlife, corrective measures such as temporary rabbit fences or plant cages shall be installed. The standard silt fence will work well for this purpose; otherwise, a three foot high chicken wire fence shall be used. Silt fence fabric fastened to the chain link or chicken wire fence should help deter ground squirrels; this can be implemented if necessary. If these measures are impractical due to topographical irregularity, ground squirrel poison bait stations may be necessary to decrease herbivory. In addition to fencing, small signs labeling the site as a native plant restora- tion area will be placed on all sides of the site. 11ro7 (1. %Srosot.cssxsr.PLN) 15 LSA AuadaM4 Inc Soil Amendments A soil analysis shall be done to determine fertility and agricultural suitability, and to test for salt and boron toxicity. Soil samples shall be taken prior to site preparation so that a different site can be chosen, should boron or salt toxicity be present. Sampling shall be done under the supervision of a Revegetation Specialist; It shall include at least one test unit from each sur- face soil type present on the site, and should be a composite of at least six samples from the top sic to eight inches of each soil type. The soil samples shall be analyzed by a qualified agronomist, who will submit a written report of his recommendations based on the completed soil testing. If soil treat- ment is required, It will be implemented under the direction of a Revegetation Specialist before the placing of the relocated topsoil. Hydroseeding Technique The graded slope adjoining San Joaquin Hills Road shall be hydroseeded between November 1, 1995, and December 31, 1995. The standard hydroseeding technique will be employed, but with two applications applied as follows: First Application 500 lbsJacre of wood fiber mulch. 150 lbs. Of Ecology Control binder (or comparable product). Specified seed. Second Application 1,500 Ibs./acre of wood fiber mulch. CD Prior to seeding, all plants shall be covered with paper bags or other suitable Ce cover that is acceptable to the Revegetation Specialist. These covers are to be PM removed within 24 hours following the completion of the hydroseeding. Hand Seeding Technique On all of those areas outside of the San Joaquin Hills Road slope that are to receive seed, seed shall be applied by hand. This is to be accomplished following the installation of the container plants. The entire area is to be hand seeded with the seed mix described above. Before broadcasting, the seed shall be mixed with a dispersal agent such as rice hulls, bran, or some other acceptable medium that will aid in good seed dispersal and coverage. After broadcasting, the seed is to be lightly raked into the soil surface to ensure good seed contact with the soil. 11ro7 vs(l. %SPO501.CSSRPSr.P1.t) 16 LM Azsadwe; Inc Planting Tecbnique With the exception of those species noted in the plant list, container plant- ings shall be used to supplement the revegetation achieved with the initial seeding. The total number of plants shown in the container plant list is the maximum expected number required to meet the performance standards with supplemental coverage. The exact number and location of these plants will be determined by the Revegetation Specialist. The actual number of supplemental container plantings that will be required is expected to be significantly lower than the total number shown. The container plants that are to be planted immediately following seeding shall be spaced In natural looking patterns to replicate the character of the adjacent CSS community as closely as possible. The supplemental plantings will be installed one year following seeding. Both the initial plantings and the supplemental plantings shall be set out on the site under the supervision of a Revegetation Specialist and monitor, with consideration given to the microclimate for each plant. All shrubs and small flowering plants, as well as native grasses, shall be plant- ed according to the following directions: • The size of the planting hole shall be 1.5 times the height and 2.0 times the width of the rootball, and shall have vertical sides with roughened surfaces. • Any roots wrapped around the sides of the container shall be pulled loose from the rootball. The sides of the rootball shall be scarified to promote new root development. • Plants shall be planted with the roots untangled and laid out in the planting hole to promote good root growth and prevent the plant from becoming rootbound. • Roots shall be adequately protected at all times from sun and/or dry- ing winds. • The planting hole shall be backfilled with thoroughly broken up na- tive topsoil. • Plants shall be set in the planting hole so that the crown of the root ball is 0.5 inch above finish grade. The crown of the plant shall not be depressed. • A watering basin 24 inches in diameter shall be provided around each plant. • Each planting hole shall be filled with water before planting and, immediately following planting, each plant is to be watered with sufficient water to reach the lower roots. Ili W s(t:.strosor.GsSRr+sr.?LN) 17 El F] IRRIGATION tSA Awadaa; Inc The CSS revegetation does not require permanent irrigation. However, on manufactured slopes the use of irrigation Is advisable because it helps to loosen the soil through the expansion and contraction caused by the wetting and drying of the soil. For this reason, the use of irrigation is recommended on the manufactured slopes. Irrigation Is to be applied to the site infre- quently but with sufficient water to reach below the lowest roots. This shall be done under the direction of the Revegetation Specialist. MAINTENANCE Maintenance of all plantings and seeding shall be the responsibility of Stan- dard Pacific of Orange County, on a year to year basis as necessary to meet the performance standards (estimated to be three years). Maintenance will include any activities required to meet the performance standards set forth in this plan, in the estimation of the Revegetaion Specialist. These include, but are not limited to, supplemental planting, weeding, and the maintenance of signs and fencing for protection from both humans and herbivores. Weed Control For a minimum of three years following installation and major remedial efforts, or until performance standards have been met, weeds shall be con- trolled in revegetation areas to the extent necessary to prevent detrimental competition with container and seeded plantings for water, nutrients and light. All non -native invasive weeds shall be removed employing mechanical methods and/or EPA approved herbicides. No pre-emergent herbicides may be used. This shall be done at the direction of the restoration specialist monitoring the installation. Weed species to be removed Include, but are not limited to, the following: 1IM7M(L•.sr0501 .xSSRJM.rtM) 18 Mustard (Brassica and Herrcbjeldia spp.) Selloa Pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana) • Pampas grass (Cortaderia jubata) • Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon) • Hottentot -fig (Carpobrotus edulls) • Garland chrysanthemum (Cbrysantbemum coronarlum) • French broom (Genista monspessulans) • Scotch broom (Cyttrus scoparius) • Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.) • Bermuda buttercup (Oxalis pes- caprae) • Radish (Rapbanus spp.) • Castor bean (Ricinus communis) • Russian thistle (Salsola tragus) • German ivy (Senecio mikanoides) • Pink periwinkle (Vinca major) 1IM7M(L•.sr0501 .xSSRJM.rtM) 18 LSAAauaIan; Inn • Gorse (Ulex europaeus) • Wild oats (Avena sp.) • Brome grasses (Bromus sp.) • Cardoon (Cynara cardunculus) • Curly -dock (Rum= criapus) • Crystalline iceplant (Mesembryantbemum crystallinum) • Small- flowered iceplant (Mesembryantbemum nody7orum) • Australian saltbush (Atriplex semibiccata) • Sweet fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) • Horehound (Marubium vulgare) • Tocolote and Yellow star thistle (Centaurea sp.) • Sweet clover (Melilotus sp.). PERFORMANCE STANDARDS Graded Slopes and Preserved Scrub The goal of the CSS mitigation will be to replicate the existing distribution patterns and relative proportions of key coastal sage scrub species within existing, high quality habitat on the site. Detailed tcansects of each restoration site will be performed to determine the existing frequencies of those species as measured by percentage of cover. Performance will be assessed based on the restoration area's developing a trend of vegetation cover diversity and species dominance that is similar to the reference area habitat. Establishment of habitat after five years will be considered successful if one or more of the following criteria are met: 1. The ranges of percentage of cover and species diversity of the plant species in the reestablished habitat shall be statistically Inseparable, as determined by multivariate analysis from the percentage of cover and species diversity in existing, high quality habitat (i.e., habitat occupied by nesting California gnatcatchers). 2. The habitat supports (for foraging or nesting) California gnatcatchers. 3. There is mutual agreement by USFWS, CDFG and SPOC biologists that restoration areas provide habitat for the California gnatcatcher. Neuporter Knoll The goal of the planting and seeding on this site, as requested by the USFWS, is to establish CSS over a long period of time at a minimal cost. This to be achieved by establishing some "islands" of plants that will, over time, regen- erate, expand, and eventually form a canopy of CSS vegetation over much of the site. Consequently, performance for this area will be assessed based on 60 percent of the plants surviving at the end of a five year period, rather than overall vegetative cover. IIM7M(r:.SPOSm.csstusrstrr) 19 LSA Anodah; Inc Progress Toward Performance Standards During the five years following installation, the following observable features may be considered to represent progress toward successful establishment of healthy functional habitat: • Attainment of 60 percent ground cover at the end of three years, with species diversity similar to existing habitat on the adjacent bluff area (except Newporter Knoll.) • Germination and growth of a variety of the seeded plant species (total area coverage may be somewhat sparse after the fast year). • Presence of young shoots for seeded species/noticeable growth and new branching for container plantings. • Good root development of desired (native) species, which will be checked by a pull test conducted by the revegetation monitor. • lack of significant erosion. • Low percentage of invasive weeds/non -native grasses (0-25 percent cover). • Low mortality rate for container plantings (0-20 percent). The goal of the revegetation program is to make progress toward the enu- merated performance standards throughout the monitoring period. All necessary steps will be taken to meet this goal. Specific performance stan- dards may be waived by the appropriate governmental agencies if monitoring indicates good growth towards a functional habitat, or if all reasonable cor- rective actions have been identified and implemented. MONITORING In order to assure that the revegetation performance standards are met, the entire revegetative process, from the collection of seed to a minimum of three years following the installation, shall be monitored. The site monitor will be an experienced restoration specialist, biologist, native landscape horti- culturist, or other professional qualified to assess the performance of the revegetation effort and recommend corrective measures, if needed. The monitoring program will consist of the following: Overseeing the propagule collection process, including the collection and germination testing of seed. Initial and remedial planting and seeding operations monitoring as frequently as twice a week, depending on the conditions. 11/07,95(L,SP0501 .cssRESr.PUO 20 LSA ASOda jo Inc • Initial monitoring (e.g., during plant establishment and at 30 and 90 days after initial planting) to determine success of establishment. A survey of the site will be performed if it is apparent that survival and/or gemination is poor and remedial measures are necessary. The survey will identify the number and species of plants lost and requir- ing replacement. • Monitoring for survival, appearance, and function. Monitoring will occur on a semiannual basis for three years following installation (2/96 through Z/99) and annually thereafter until the performance standards are met. A survey of the site to determine plant species composition and percentage of cover will be performed at this time. However, the project shall be considered successful if the perfor- mance standards are met any time prior to the end of the three year period, and no further monitoring would be required. Documentation The first report will be prepared immediately following installation, and will include the dates of all subsequent reports. Throughout the monitoring period, annual reports that include evaluation of survivorship, appearance, development of the habitat, and actions taken will be prepared by the site monitor, and will be submitted to SPOC, the City of Newport Beach, USFWS and CDFG. Monitoring and reports will include photo documentation at specified locations. In the reports, the site monitor should state conclusions regarding the success or failure of each restoration area, including specific evidence supporting the conclusions reached. REMEDIAL MEASURES The purpose of the remedial measures is to remedy unsuccessful restoration efforts, as indicated by non -native species or bare ground. Remedial mea- sures, as identified in the monitoring report, include weed eradication, re- placement of dead or diseased container plantings, and/or reseeding in areas as necessary to meet the performance standards. Such actions will be takers immediately upon the identification of problems, and will occur as often as necessary to meet the performance standards. The removal of dead and/or diseased container plants is left to the discretion of the site monitor. 11A7M(1.%SP0501 %CSSRES- r.PLI) 21 (Item 9) May 2, 2000 COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT Arts Et Cultural - Library - Recreation - Seniors 49 To: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission From: LaDonna Kienitz, Community Services Director /City Librarian Re: Temporary Installation of Netting at Lincoln Athletic Center RECOMMENDATION At the Lincoln Athletic Center, install removable posts, with baseball netting attached, over existing fence on the edge of the field bordering Bayport Apartments. Height of proposed screenings is 18 feet; length, 75 feet. Estimated cost, $2,000. The City will assume responsibility for half of the initial cost. Newport Beach Little League has indicated that their organization will assume responsibility for the other half of the cost, for installing, removing and storing of the netting each year, and for any subsequent repairs. BACKGROUND The City of Newport Beach leases the Lincoln Athletic Facility from the Newport -Mesa Unified School District for youth and adult sports activities. Newport Beach Little League uses fields 2, 4 and 5 exclusively in the spring season. • The Bayport Apartment complex, 1 Baywood Drive, contains a sizeable parking lot adjacent to fields 2, 4 and 5. Historically, there have been some problems with flying balls landing in the parking lot and damaging cars. Newport Beach Little League has handled these claims with their insurance carrier. This year there has been an increase in the number of incidents. This has raised the concerns of the Bayport Apartments management and residents, and resulted in complaint calls to the Community Services office. Staff has been onsite on several occasions to investigate the problem. The current fence is the property of the School District. However, it is not effective in this instance because of the ground level of the fields. There does not appear to a solution that will totally eliminate the problem without building a very tall fence. A compromise solution of providing temporary netting has been proposed. ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION • The raised elevation of the field negates the value of the 6 -foot fence between the field and the parking lot. • The backstops on fields 4 and 5 are temporary and cannot be raised or increased without compromising safety. • The problem is seasonally. • Notices of this public hearing were mailed to Bayport Apartment Manager Stacy Galardo and homes within 300 feet of the area. • Addendum to — (Item 10) May 2, 2000 COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT Arts Ft Cultural - Library - Recreation - Seniors To: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission From: LaDonna Kienitz, Community Services Director /City Librarian Re: National Junior Basketball Co- sponsorship Status REVISED RECOMMENDATION Recommend reinstatement of co- sponsorship of National Junior Basketball pending receipt of the Players Roster.

C. Dear Mr. Della Grotta, W 28 Sao This letter is in reference to numerous property damage incidents to my personal motor vehicles involving little league baseball players from Boras Field located at Lincoln Elementary School. My family and I reside at 2690 San Joaquin Hills Road, Bayport Apartments. We have lived in the complex for 13 months. Our apartment is located directly over the fence from the Boras Field. We have been assigned one covered parking place (#64) where my wife usually parks, and my vehicle is usually parked outside in one of the first four reserved parking places parallel to the field. • We have sustained damage to our vehicles from baseballs, rocks, dirt clots and other projectiles coming over the fence on numerous occasions. Last year alone we have had to pay for repairs from numerous baseball dents on the hood and roof of my 1997 Dodge Ram P/U and the hood on my wife's 1999 Toyota Camry. I have personally paid over $1,000.00 of my own money to have these repairs completed. I have had to pay because thus far I have not been able to get anyone to accept responsibility. Enough! My patience has reached its end and I refuse to pay another dime for repairs from anything that comes over that fence. The latest incidents happened the weekend of March 3d when a ball came over the fence and broke the drivers side mirror on my 2 week old 2000 Dodge Ram P /U. The very next weekend my wife's Toyota Camry was hit by yet another ball in the center of the hood and it will require more body and paint work. I am estimating that the repairs for both vehicles will be in excess of another $1,000.00. To add to our frustration, on opening day a group of kids hit my wife in the side with a piece of ice, then taunted her when she confronted them. Someone also threw a piece of tree bark and hit my truck while it was parked in our carport. And in a separate incident someone threw large clumps of grass over the fence splattering three cars with dirt. You will see that I have photo documentation on all of these incidents attached to this • document. • 1 am requesting the following from the Newport Beach Little League. 1. I want payment for the damages that my vehicles have suffered in the last 2 incidents. I would require payment for all of them, but the 1997 Dodge Ram P/U has already been traded in on my new vehicle and I have no evidence other than my word that the damage occurred. The hood on the Camry was painted as a part of the deal I made with the bodyshop at the same time the 1997 P/U was repaired. 2. 1 want a policy in place so that we may expedite the process should this happen again. I have wasted many hours with the city of Newport Beach, Bayport Apartments and the Lincoln Elementary school to try to resolve these matters and I do not have the time to dedicate to this anymore. 3. 1 want it known to the coaches, parents and teams and players that this is unacceptable behavior and completely intolerable. I understand that accidents happen, but not all of the damage has been an accident. It is my opinion that these kids are running wild with little or no supervision and they do not value anyone else's personal property. This behavior must stop immediately. 4. 1 want the fence that divides the field and our complex to be raised to a level that will sufficiently stop balls, rocks and other matter from easily being hurled across and damaging out vehicles. • 1 feel that these are valid requests and are not out of line. I am driving a $32,000 vehicle with a broken mirror. My wife is driving a $20;000 vehicle with a big dent in the hood. It upsets me every time I get in the car. Please resolve this problem immediately so I do not have to take matters any further than this. I sincerely hope you understand my problem and can empathize with my situation and we can come to a swift resolution. I look fgrward to your reply with great interest. ai 1�1 I' 1 (Item 10) May 2, 2000 COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT Arts Et Cultural - Library - Recreation - Seniors To: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission From: LaDonna Kienitz, Community Services Director /City Librarian Re: National Junior Basketball Co- sponsorship Status RECOMMENDATION Review the co- sponsorship status of the National Junior Basketball (NJB) and reinstate co- sponsorship when all documentation is complete, including submittal of a plan for facility care and proper usage. BACKGROUND The National Junior Basketball (NJB) was granted co- sponsorship status in 1993.

There is no up -to -date insurance on file. 2. There are no roster listings or resident compliance information. 3. NJB has not attended any Youth Sports Commission Meetings in the past three years. 4. Requirements for use of City property have not been met. There have been instances where gymnasiums have been used by NJB when not scheduled or have been left open after use. There are also unverified reports that NJB has, on occasion, charged admission for spectators at City facilities. Apparently the current NJB officials were unaware of the requirements for co- sponsorship. The team must meet the criteria to have co- sponsorship by the City to have favored status for the use of City facilities. Requirements of co- sponsorship are attached. They were also provided to Taras Young, Team Liaison for NJB on April 17. 0 COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT Arts & Cultural - Library - Recreation - Seniors To: Youth Sports Group • From: Andrea McGuire, Senior Recreation Manager Re: Criteria for Co- Sponsored Youth Sports Group Policy This Community Services Policy, approved April 4, 2000 by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission, sets forth the procedure for determination of co- sponsorship of a youth sports group.

BACKGROUND Spyglass Hill Park playground equipment is scheduled for replacement in FY 2000/01. Currently this playground area is split by a wooden bridge and areas of concrete. Staff have developed a plan which will provide a more effective use of the space: It involves demolishing and removing the wooden bridge and areas of concrete around the bridge, • moving the water fountain to the other side of the sidewalk, and other hardscape changes. New equipment will be installed including swings and a playground structure. A diagram is attached. Funds are available in the FY 1999/00 budget to initially undertake the changes in the configuration and enlargement of the area. Funds for replacement of the playground equipment should be available in the FY 2000/01 budget. An onsite meeting was held Tuesday, April 25, 2000, with neighbors to discuss the plan. One hundred notices of the onsite meeting and the public hearing were mailed.

I have attached a completed Tree Removal Request. The reason for this request is the damage being done by this tree's invasive root system which seems to be growing daily. On November 24, 1999 I informed you of the sewerage spill at my home that was caused by the Ficus when its roots blocked the City's portion of my sewer line. I was fortunate that my home repair insurance that I buy annually covered most of the cost of removing this sewer blockage. Because the blockage is beyond our property line the bill should have much more than my insurance service call co -pay. The plumber and the insurance company have told me that the insurance will not apply the next time my sewer gets plugged up because this blockage isn't within the property line. The plumber said to expect more problems in about • six months. As far as the overflow mess, my wife and I spent several hours cleaning it up. The roots have also grown under the sidewalk and through my old five -foot block retaining wall in at least one place that I can see. Our porch is only 4 feet from the retaining wall and I am afraid of what could happen to the house if the wall gets blown out due to these tree roots growing behind it. In addition the roots have taken over a lot of the grass and makes it difficult to mow and keep neat. The concrete sidewalk beside the tree has been replaced so I assume this tree has caused prior problems. Several of the larger roots have traveled along the curbing (towards the sewer) and I would imagine that they will eventually ruin the curbing. It seems to me that this tree is a liability to the city that will only increase as it grows larger. It certainly will block up my sewer again and could cause my old block wall to fail and threaten my home's foundation. It most likely will cause problems with the sidewalk and curbs. Please consider my request to remove this Ficus and call me at 675 -7292 if you have questions or wish to discuss this further.

Each time that it has backed up, a black residue comes up in both of our bathtubs and both of our toilets overflow onto the carpeting. In the past we have called a plumber out each time to snake our house and temporarily fix the problem. In every case, the plumber has attributed the stoppage to the roots of the ficus tree in front of our home on the City's property. Our home is situated on the corner of Mariners Drive and Pembroke Lane. In front of our home and at the side of our home are two large ficus trees on the City's property. In April 1998, the city replaced our sidewalk and our driveway as the roots from one of the trees had lifted up the sidewalk and our driveway making it impossible for us to close our garage door completely. Due to the many stoppages, the City also replaced our carpeting which had been stained and was now harboring mold beneath it. • On February 12, 2000, our main sewer line backed up again, unfortunately neither of us were home at the time and the toilets overflowed continuously for an extended period of time flooding the carpets in both bathrooms, our child's room and our hallway. Our plumber was unable to clear our main line so we called the City. We were so pleased that the City responded so quickly. The City then ripped out the sidewalk and found our main sewer line with several very large ficus tree roots penetrating the pipes. Incidentally, we found that our main line is situated just 5 feet away from the trunk of the tree. Due to the very close proximity of our sewer's main line to the ficus tree with its known quick and extensive root system, we are requesting that this tree be removed as soon as possible. If it is not removed quickly, the roots will inevitably penetrate our pipes again thus compounding the internal damage that has already occurred in our home.

I flagged John Conway down as he was driving by. We talked about the two liquidambar trees on the Highland Drive side of our house. John said that they should never have been planted in a five foot parking strip: they need at least a ten foot wide strip to grow properly. John then took a paint can and marked the paving on both sides of each tree. He agreed that the trees should be removed. John also said that city procedures had to be followed. He asked me to FAX a note to him requesting that the trees be removed. I FAXed him as he requested that afternoon. In the FAX I also requested that after the trees are removed that no replacement trees be planted. Other than our lot, none of the lots in our block on either side of the street have any trees in the parking strip. Removing and not replacing the trees would not be out of place in our block.

C� • • March 9, 2000 Mr. John Conway, Urban Forester City of Newport Beach General Services Department P.O. Box 1768 Newport Beach, CA 92658 -8915 Dear Mr. Conway: M.fin 1342L!3 Attached is my request for removal of one (1) eucalyptus tree located at 2100 Windward Lane, Newport Beach. This tree presents a significant hazard to people and property in the immediate vicinity of it. This winter, and the past two winters that I have lived at 2100 Windward Lane, large branches have broken off of this tree, some over two inches in diameter. The tree appears to be over fifty feet tall, with its canopy above all obstructions to winds. Thus it is subjected to the full direct force of the wind. Branches typically break off during high wind periods, though this past fall the heavy summer growth began breaking off unexpectedly. About a year ago a eucalyptus tree of the same age and species fell during the fall winds severally damaging the roof and sidewalk at 2121 Windward Lane. The tree in question leans about fifteen degrees off center, with its center of gravity over the street. Normally strong winds blow broken limbs into the street; however, at times downed limbs fall toward my house and that of my neighbor (the tree almost straddles the property line). The root system has begun to lift the sidewalk joint adjacent to the tree. I can not say that this is an immediate threat to the local infrastructure, but the process of damage has begun. The brittle nature of this tree, it's distinct lean and it's history of wind breakage justify its removal. It is simply a matter of `when' that the very significant damage done to 2121 Windward Lane will be repeated. I respectfully request that this tree be removed for the safety of people and property in the community. C� a It M-41 J*n W.
