He noted that the major problem birds are the seagulls and ducks. The Commission asked what they could do to help. Deputy City Manager Kiff responded that it would be most helpful to urge the City Council to revisit the issue of feeding the birds and to find ways to better educate the public. Commissioner Beek suggested a Volunteer Ranger program but stated that more information is needed. Chair Skoro opened the public hearing Jan Vandersloot asked Deputy City Manager Kiff if he was able to tell by the testing that was done if it was caused by animal or human. Deputy City Manager Kiff stated that there was some tests that were able to ascertain that information but the interpretive value is not worth the money in the long run. Mr. Vandersloot stated that the basic question is whether bird droppings are harmful to people; it is premature to blame the ducks. • Chair Skoro closed the public hearing Chair Skoro asked that this item be added to a future Rec Et Open Space Element Committee meeting. Commissioner Beek stated that as Chair she would take care of it. 8. Presentation by Ed Selich - Mr. Selich, Plan Coordinator for Vision 2004 — A Plan for Corona del Mar's Centennial made a presentation on their concept plan to the Commission. 9. Demonstration of Recreation Online Registration System - Senior Recreation Manager Andrea McGuire and Recreation Manager Kristin Carey demonstrated the new online registration system via the Internet which provides the additional access for customers to register for class. 10. Tree Removal - Director Niederhaus stated that Pamela Cromer has requested the removal of one Pittosporum tree at 1708 Newport Hills Drive West. He stated that staff recommends that the tree remain as they believe it can be saved and treated and that because of the roots the tree will not cause a hazardous situation. Chair Skoro opened the public hearing • Mr. Niederhaus stated that the applicant was not present. Jan Vanderslott urged the Commission to follow staffs recommendation. 9 Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Regular Meeting January 2, 2001 • Page 3 Chair Skoro closed the public hearing Discussion ensued regarding the possibility because of the leaning of the tree for failure. Chair Skoro stated that if the tree were in his front yard, he too would request its removal. Director Niederhaus noted that he has suggested private reforestation but that the applicant is not willing to pay for its removal and replacement, but he would recommend this to him again. Motion by Commissioner Allen to deny the request for the removal of one Pittosporum tree by Pamela Cromer at 1708 Newport Hills Drive West. Motion carried by acclamation. 11. Reforestation Request - Director Niederhaus stated the reforestation request is for the removal of one Coral tree located at on the slope behind 2901 Ebbtide and replace with a Bronze Loquat tree at the expense of the Cambell Family. Mr. Niederhaus stated the Homeowners Association has presented the appropriate petition and all paperwork as required by G -1 Policy is attached to the report. • Chair Skoro opened the public hearing Jan Vandersloot stated that the reason reforestation does not work is because anyone can decide that they don't like their tree and ask to reforest it, and that by approving the request it will set a precedent. Director Niederhaus stated again that staff have reviewed the paperwork and that it meets the requirement of the policy. John Orr, representing the Harbor View Hills Community Association, stated that the request for removal of the tree was made because of the extreme disruption of electricity to the house and the view plane and not because of any dislike for the tree. Discussion ensued regarding the notification of Southern California Edison. Chair Skoro closed the public hearing Discussion ensued regarding reforestation issues, view protection, responsibility of replacement costs by resident, etc. Commissioner Franklin stated that he was incline to vote no, because he had voiced his opinion on reforestation requests being at the desire of the homeowner because they • did not like the tree. I� U Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Regular Meeting January 2, 2001 Page 4 Motion by Commissioner Allen to approve reforestation request from one Coral tree to a Bronze Loquat tree on the slope located behind 2901 Ebbtide Road, with removal and replacement costs at owners expense.

ADJOURNMENT - 9:02pm Submitted by: Teri Craig, Admin Assistant • 0 C� u Bus iness January, 2001 C11�m I) 'L/to�ol Improvement Mr. Val Skoro, Chairman Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission City Of Newport Beach 1601 Bayadere Terrace Corona Del Mar, Ca 92625 Dear Val: District At the Tuesday, January 1, 2001 P.B. &R. meeting, the Corona Del Mar Business Improvement District was allowed to present the CDM BID Vision 2004 proposed plan of improvements, along East Coast Highway, through our business district. Ed Selich articulated the plan details and presented full color sketch boards illustrating each segment. For this opportunity, we are grateful and thank every member of the Commission Because this is such an historic and important city project, and because every commissioner seemed rightfully impressed, we are requesting a letter of endorsement from this organization. That letter will be included in our presentation portfolio when the CDM BID goes before the City Council with our progress report in February. At your next scheduled meeting, would you propose this idea to the full Commission, call for a vote, and then return to us that letter of support? (Assuming there is a unanimous vote) Thank you, and your colleagues, for all your interest and support. We are committed to producing a plan proposal that will make all citizens of Newport Beach proud of the Business District of Corona Del Mar forever. Sincerely, Donald H. Glasgow, Chairman Corona Del Mar Business Improvement District PO Box 2295 Newport Beach, Ca 92659 -2295 i� • January 5, 2001 Recreation Activities Committee Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission City of Newport Beach Ref: Agenda for the Recreation Activities Committee Meeting, Tue. 1/12/01, Noon in the Central Library Con£ Room Dear Andrea McGuire, Sr Recreation Mgr, amcguire @city.newport- beach.ca.us: Per your request, I am writing to you to voice my concerns about Item -3 of the Agenda for the Referenced Meeting. I cannot attend the meeting and you therefore assured me that you would read my comments and enter them into the minutes for presentation to the PB &R Commission at the Feb 6, 2001 meeting. My wife and I are residents of the Canyon Crest Estates Condominium complex, which is located on Pacific View, across the street from the Lincoln Athletic Center. We have lived there since 1982. We object to the Little League's request for Saturday night Lincoln Field usage for the following reasons: 1. Approximately 2 years ago, the Little League made a similar request that was elevated to the City Council where the request was denied as a compromise to the surrounding communities. There is no need to revisit this issue. • 2. Saturday evening usage of the Lincoln complex creates undo stress on the surrounding communities because it results in a greater level of lights, noise and traffic then when the field is not in use. 3. The field lights can presently be used from M -Th until l OPM and can also be used on Friday. As a good neighbor consideration, the surrounding communities deserve a respite from this activity on Saturday and Sunday evenings. 4. The State and the City are in the midst of a power crisis. We are being threatened with "rolling blackouts" and large rate increases. Under these conditions, it is irresponsible for the Little League to ask for extended lighting periods and it is irresponsible for the City to even consider the issue. 5. Given the current power crisis, we suggest that the Recreation Dept investigate means for more efficient use and consolidation of the lighted periods and also consider eliminating lighted hours or even entire lighted evenings in the interest of conservation. With regard to the issue of a "funding request for the Newport Beach Little League" we request that you send us more detail on this issue. If this request concerns the City providing funding to the Little League, then we would have to voice our strenuous objections. The Little League is a special interest group that should be funded and staffed solely by its participants and independent donations. It should not be funded by the City in any part. Consider, if we fund the Little League today, why not the AYSO, Rugby and even Churches tomorrow. I believe that there would be legal issues raised. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

OTHER INFORMATION Recreation Services Division Mission Statement - In early summer of 2000, the Recreation Division staff began a process to develop a mission statement for the Division. Over several meetings, lasting until early December, staff classified expectations for the community and staff in regards to Recreation Services. As staff explored the different ways to serve the community, they agreed upon five areas or categories of expectations and discussed ideas in each of those areas. The categories are Public Benefits, Quality Customer Service, The Best Facilities Possible, Diversity in Programming and Innovative Administration. After much fine - tuning and tweaking, the consensus was that the Recreation Division mission statement should be: Our mission is to enhance the quality of life in Newport Beach by providing • diverse recreation opportunities in safe, well - maintained facilities and parks. We strive to provide experiences that create connections between people and community. Our purpose is to provide quality services, to efficiently utilize resources and to respond to community needs. 13 Monthly Activities Report Recreation Services (Item 3) February 6, 2001 18 . TrendSCAN - A copy of the December TrendSCAN is included in your packet this month. • • Staff met with resident Denise Moon, who is concerned about lack of Recreation programs for developmentally disabled youth and adults in Newport Beach. Another meeting is planned to discuss possible special events in the future. The City has conducted for many years staff participation of Beach the Orange County Special Olympics Basketball Tournament which the City has conducted for many years. J� DECEMBER 2000 Focus & Features: What's Ahead in 2001 Generation Z Golden Years - What's In and Out Patterns & Preferences 5 What's Ahead http://www.cprs.org/MembersOnly/trendscan/tsl2OO.htm rend trackers like this time of the year because forecasters from a variety of organizations usually •issue their perceptions and projections of what lies ahead. This year is no exception to that practice. The editors of Trend Letter identify only four trends for the coming year as follows: Trend #1 - From Information to Innovation: The Pace Quickens Trend #2 - From Unbridled Enthusiasm to Cautious Optimism Trend #3 - From "Winner Take All" to Sharing The Wealth and Trend #4 - From IPOs to Management and Marketing This publication goes on to add additional insight and information related to the four trend categories. Many of these contain suggestions for what might lie ahead for parks and recreation as well. • Recent breakthroughs in biogenetics as well as other areas of science are providing everybody from individuals to policy makers with the power and the possibility of changing human destiny. • Changes and accelerations in computing power will lower costs of production and operation. Use of computers has lowered Ford Motor's cost of test crashing a car from $60,000 to $100 through simulation. Similar reductions are happening in the oil industry as well. The cost of oil discovery in 1991 was $10 a barrel and has fallen to $1 a barrel thanks to technology. • The speed of communication rises and the cost of that communication drops. If you wanted to down load the entire contents of the Library of Congress you could do so for about $40. While the Internet really got into gear with the World Wide Web in 1990 and the browser in 1993, we are already up to more than 350 million users worldwide. • Information will become the driving force of the economy and profitability. . Concerns about the digital divide result in fears of a growing economic divide. In 1998, the top earning 1% of Americans had as much income as the lowest earning 100 million Americans rso� 1 of 6 1/8/20017:08 PM DECEMBER 2000 http://www.cprs.org/MembersOnly/trendscan/ts1200.ht[n according to Fast Company. This new divide changes the makeup of ethnically diverse cities and impacts upon rural communities once isolated from such changes. Watch for communities to pass . living wage laws and work towards mixed - income housing. . The ever -rising cost and concern about health care is going to roar into high speed as the aging of the population, increasing longevity, and medical advances places a burden on both providers and those footing the bill. . Citizens may continue to take on 'BIG" business. A recent issue of Business Week stated that 72% of Americans say business has too much power over many aspects of life. Whether it's the community groups trying to keep out Wa1Mart and/or Home Depot or the French farmer who took on McDonalds for endangering the local culture, there will be more efforts in this area. • As the Trend Letter states "the corporate world is learning an invaluable lesson: it is possible to do well by doing good ". • This trend results in companies becoming far more environmentally conscious and responsible. The list of companies incorporating ways that the environment can positively impact upon their bottom line is growing. • Venture philanthropy, a new model for bringing services to the disadvantaged and disenfranchised, is alive and growing. Some differences between this approach and the old way of donating funds or creating foundations is that the people doing the donating want to have a say in where the money is directed; how the organization is managed; and what performance standards will be set. • We can expect some form of private /public nonprofit model or group to be formed that will move venture philanthropy to its next level. . . Hard to imagine what IPOs and dotcoms have to do with parks and recreation, but there are a number of implications. One of the implications is the convergence of "point and click" and "brick and mortar ". Consider the possibilities for parks and recreation as we try to converge in reverse moving our "bricks and "mortar" to an augmented role with "point and click ". Management Changes and Challenges • Watch words for the new year include People, Productivity, Profitability, and Catering to Core Customers. This results in a renewed focus on hiring and retaining good employees, ongoing development of core focus through training and development, as well as managing the growing generation gap in the work place. • Out with the old and in with the new may become a slogan over the next couple of years as growing numbers of employees especially in more traditional companies and organizations decide to retire. • It is projected that between 1996 and 2006, the labor force in this country will increase by 11% while the demand will jump by 19% for that same time period. • The new wave of immigration is on as the United States struggles to find workers at two opposite ends of the spectrum: skilled and unskilled. Some states such as Iowa have positioned themselves as the "Ellis Island of the Midwest" as they strive for the economic renewal that can be created by this new population surge. • "Going for the gold" takes on a new meaning as organizations across the country are either actively recruiting older workers or trying to encourage older workers not to retire. Older staff are being offered incentives such as good assignments, a chance to mentor younger staff, and less stressful assignments as they transition into retirement. • Life Stage Perks surface everywhere as organizations try to attract and retain younger workers • who don't necessarily value what their older, retiree -bound colleagues want. The new menu of benefits include such things as day care, stock options, time off to volunteer, paid sabbaticals, transportable retirement benefits, and financial assistance for home purchasing. What's the number one perk being requested? Company funded education and training. I (4 2 of 6 1/8/20017:08 PM DECEMBER 2 0 0 0 http:// www. cprs. org/ MembersOnly /trendscan/ts1200.htm . Human recycling prevails as organizations try to retain and renew long time employees who may be bored or burnt out . They do so by offering these long established employees a chance for a • challenge with a new job or set of responsibilities. Marketing Chances and Challenges • The marketplace becomes increasingly more diverse and the demand for one -to -one marketing becomes a reality as we try to reach and serve fragmented markets. The suggested strategy is to build customer share rather than market share. • Opportunity marketing such as billboards on the side of barges in San Francisco Bay which can be viewed by captive consumers bored as they commute will grow in popularity. Other examples include stickers on fruit, ads in rest rooms and on the back of doors in physicians' examining rooms, and logos on cars, silos, and hot air balloons. • Permission marketing holds its own as we invite consumers to communicate (and connect) with the organization and its products or services primarily through email. • Get ready for "stealth" marketing to hide its head in the coming new year. Companies like Ford and Boeing are spending money on ads to convince their employees about their market position. "Educommerce" which is really education infused with advertisements and marketing will grow in popularity as well. Educating and engaging consumers about their hobbies and interests speak to higher order needs and will become a valued marketing technique. • The two cohorts with the most spending clout are children, particularly teens and "tweens ", and the newly wealthy. Both groups are challenging for organizations to reach. The newly wealthy may buy an expensive new watch but drive a VW. Kids are so media savvy that they blow off banner ads and are attracted to experiences such as concerts and sporting events. . 5 Generation Z `r` hat do we know about this new generation group that is piling into classrooms in ever larger numbers. Well according to numbers compiled by HOSTS, Help One Student to Succeed, an educational materials company out of Dallas, Texas, we can and should know the following: • between 2001 and 2010, the number of non - Hispanic white elementary school students will drop by 2.1 million which represents a decrease of 8% for children ages 5 to 9 and a decrease of 9% for children ages 10 to 14 • there will be a decrease of 400,000 black children in elementary schools which translates into 3% fewer 5 to 9 year olds and 10% fewer 10 to 14 year olds. BUT, and here's the big BUT. Since enrollment in school is increasing steadily, the decline in white and black students will be offset by children from other racial and ethnic groups. This will result in the following: • between 2001 and 2010, the percentage of Hispanic children ages 5 to 9 will increase by 21% and the Hispanic children ages 10 to 14 will increase by 29% • during that same time period, Asian students ages 5 to 9 will increase by 22% and Asian students ages 10 to 14 will increase by 31 %.

Fun, Excitement, and Make Believe (for adults ?) A recent survey conducted by Yankelovich Monitor found that 37% of respondents wanted to "go places that are so different from my daily experience that they feel like make- believe ". More than half of those surveyed, 55 %, expressed a desire to have more fun. Of Americans with an income of $75,000 or above, 63% feel the need to "find more excitement and sensation in life" and 58% of this same group would like to have more romance and mystery in their lives. •How do you define happiness? A recent study by Taylor Nelson Sofres Intersearch found that for the majority of people they surveyed, personal relationships with partners, family, friends, and community are the most important factors contributing to their overall sense of well - being. The 2,298 adults in the survey were asked to rate on a 4of6 1/8/2001 7:08 PM DECEMBER 2 0 0 0 http:// www. cprs. org/ MembersOnly /trendscan/tsl20o.htm scale of 1 to 10 their perceptions on five aspects of their lives: relationships, health, personal fulfillment (defined as personal growth and job satisfaction), financial status, and leisure activity. • The statistical analysis used by this firm resulted in the creation of a percentage impact for each factor. The overall results included the following: Relationships 28% Health 22% Personal Fulfillment 22% Financial Status 16% Leisure Activities 13% Findings of surprise and/or interest included: • Men ranked relationships higher than women did (29% to 25 %) • Health is more important to women than men (27% to 17 %) • As we age, personal fulfillment (personal growth and job satisfaction) become less important and leisure becomes more of a priority; under 45 resulted in 25% for personal fulfillment and 9% for leisure while those over 45 indicated 18% for personal growth and 16% for leisure • Health is more important based upon geographic region of the country. The West ranked health at 35% while the other areas of the country ranged from 20 to 22 %. • Money and leisure are of greater concern to married or committed couples than to singles. Golf Numbers Participation in golf has increased with a reported 26.4 million players in 1999 which reflects a 8.7% increase from 1994. Much of the growth comes from the younger set. For the first time since the National Golf Foundation has been keeping records, there are more golfers under the age of 40; 47.7% •of golfers are between the ages of 18 and 39. In addition, the number of junior golfers has increased 19.5% since 1994. It is sometimes called the "Tiger Effect." The impact of GenX and Gen Y has already made a difference on the game with things like extreme golf and there is likely more to come. 5of6 TIPS (Trends In Practice) et ready for a different kind of TIP in this version.

The service was advertised in the January OASIS newsletter and already six people have submitted requests. The program requires that the person served has some financial Limitations and that the service requested falls under a category of minor repairs. As the program grows, new volunteers wit[ be sought. Public Access Defibrillation Trial to Start at OASIS - The Public Access Defibrillation Trial, commonly referred to as PAD, begin at OASIS in January. PAD is a collaborative study between the Orange County Emergency Medical Services and Mission Hospital Regional Medical Center. Thirty hospitals across the country are participating in the PAD trial sponsored by the National Institute of Health (NIH). Mission Hospital was chosen as the participating site. The OASIS Center is only one of the approximately 40 highly populated locations in Orange County where the trial will be conducted. The purpose of the study is is to compare survival rates from sudden cardiac death in the community for those who receive an automatic external defibrillator in addition to the standard of 911 and CPR — compared to individuals who only receive 911 and CPR. On January 17, OASIS staff were trained to use the defibrillation machine and on CPR. The Fire Department Emergency Medicine Division and the City Manager have approved this program. L Participants Over 80 are Celebrated - This City's seniors over 80 years of age were honored at a special celebration at OASIS on January 24. The exceptional entertainment for the afternoon was the California's Cloggers Unlimited, a local group that presents a form of Irish step dancing. Only those who have obtained this special age were invited; one hundred and seventy guests attended. Free Tax Preparation Begins - The AARP sponsored tax assistance program begins February 1. The OASIS Center will have 7 IRS trained volunteers available to complete both federal and state returns. Last year volunteers prepared 649 total tax returns, spending over 600 hours. It is anticipated that more returns will be completed this year than ever before.

Anderson School was the meeting location for several public hearings regarding the development of Bonita Canyon Sports Park. Additionally, meetings between Commissioners and staff relative to proposed amenities for the park concluded with direction for staff to select manufacturers, and products, which were included in the contract specifications presented for bid. Staff's selection of the Victoria style bench manufactured by Quick Crete was taken from the City's Official Bench List (Attachment A, and photo). The Victoria style bench was selected for beauty of design, and durability. The bench and trash receptacle style match, and both are made of recycled concrete, with reinforced steel, and a coating resistant to damage from graffiti. Subsequently, a contract for the construction of the park was awarded by the City Council in May 2000. Staff made a final approval of the bench proposal submitted by the park contractor in August in consideration of the significant time requirement to order all necessary equipment. The benches will be strategically installed throughout the park, and on concrete pads. Informationally, benches may be added, by way of donations, in the future. Very respectfully, David E.

The lights will be programmed to shut off at 6:30pm. In addition, should the City direct that further energy conservation measures be taken, this program will be reconsidered. BACKGROUND The Recreation Activities Committee met January 12, 2001 to discuss the request from the Newport Beach Little League for use of the Lincoln Athletic Field Lights on Fields 1 and 2 on Friday nights until 9:45pm beginning February 9 and on Saturday nights until 8pm beginning February 17 (letter attached). In accordance with City Council Policy 1 -27 Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission Decisions — the Commission must consider the Saturday night usage as it falls outside the policy guidelines. Residents were notified about the meeting Recreation Activity Committee meeting. An e -mail from Robert and Karen Kopicki is attached. In addition, Mrs. Kopicki attended the meeting on January 12. Also the Committee instructed staff to further communicate with youth sports coaches that they must turn off the key activator, even if the lights go out and to shut off lights if games are over before 6:30pm, not waiting for the automatic shut off, in the spirit of saving energy. As a further action, the Commission could consider a moratorium on new requests for use of night field lights until the energy crisis is alleviated. • Attachments 7149791921 PHJJ LLP. 862 Poe DEC 15 '00 01:48 I-I -e.• -m 1) • Jan , a-D 0 / NEWPORT BEACH LITTLE LEAGUE 1280 Bison Avenue, Suite 89 -491 Newport Beach, California 92660 (714) 668 -6210 December 14, 2000 Via Facsimile (949) 644 -3155 Mr. Darin Loughrey Senior Recreation Manager Community Services Department The City of Newport Beach • 3300 Newport Boulevard Newport Beach, California 92660 Dear Darin: Re: Friday Night and Saturday Night Field Usgge for the 2001 Season Frift Evenings Field Light Request On behalf of the Newport Beach Little League and pursuant to your request, I hereby make our yearly request to the PB &R Commission and the Community Services Department to use the fields at Lincoln 1 and Lincoln 2 until 9:45 p.m. from February 9, 2001 through the third week in June 2001 for games and practices. As you and the members of the PB &R Commission are aware, this is not a new request.

This season our need is as compelling as last year because without scheduling night games on Fridays, we simply do not have the fields to accommodate the number of players at the AA, AAA and Major Division levels. We already have scheduled games on every available field at every available time Monday through Saturday, leaving only Sundays for practice. Without the Friday night games and occasional Friday night practices, we cannot make it. Regyest to use the Lights on a Limited Ba i on t rd Early Evening Prior to the Start of Daylght Saving, As noted above, we have scheduled games on every available field on Saturdays. For our Upper Division, our games at Lincoln 1 and Lincoln 2 are scheduled at 8:30 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 1:30 P.M. and 4:00 p.m. For years, we have been struggling to complete the 4:00 p.m. game on Saturdays before Daylight Savings Time begins. At times, we are playing in the dark because games get backed up; sometimes because of ties, other times because of field problems or umpires not being on time. Accordingly, we request that from Saturday, February 17, 2001 through and including Saturday, March 31, 2001, the Newport Beach Little League be allowed to use the lights on Saturdays until 7:00 p.m., the maximum time that we generally use the fields on Saturdays during Daylight Savings Time. Of course, if the 4:00 p.m. games on Lincoln 1 and Lincoln 2 are over before that time, we would not need to use the lights until 7:00 p.m. and we would commit to turn them off. 31 CJ Page 3 7149791921 PHJW LLP. 862 PO4 DEC 15 100 01:48 .. As the PB &R Commission is aware, we have been self - funding field improvements for years. We understand that budgets are tight; however, we respectfully request that the pW Commission and the Department of Community Services consider allocating available funds to assist our organization to improve the parks which we use. We recognize and thank you for your yearly allocation of brick dust to us for use on all of the fields at Lincoln, Buffalo Hills, Andersen and San Miguel. Although we would be receptive to funds for any purposes that you or the PBdR Commission deems appropriate, we call your attention to the following three projects which we would like to discuss with you. 1. Snack Bar at the "Banana Fields." This project is important to both Newport Beach Little League and Soccer. 2. Handicap Access walkway at Lincoln Athletic Fields. We have constructed the walkway from behind home plate at Lincoln 2 to the end of the batting cages. We need funds to complete the link to the kindergarden play yard at Lincoln. In connection with securing the permission from the Division of the State Architect to install the electronic scoreboard at Lincoln 2, we secured permission to build such a walkway at Lincoln 2. Perhaps the City could assist us in obtaining Federal Grant Funds for this worthwhile project. Again, this project would also benefit AYSO because it would provide handicap access to their fields as well. 3. Portable Snack Bar at Lincoln 2. Our former trailer had to be replaced because of wear and tear. We are in the process of purchasing a new trailer similar to the old one. • KIM EEM • 0 L Page 4 7149791921 PHJW LLP.

Room Dear Andrea McGuire, Sr Recreation Mgr, amcguire @city.newport- beach.ca.us: Per your request, I am writing to you to voice my concerns about Item -3 of the Agenda for the Referenced Meeting. I cannot attend the meeting and you therefore assured me that you would read my comments and enter them into the minutes for presentation to the PB &R Commission at the Feb 6, 2001 meeting. My wife and I are residents of the Canyon Crest Estates Condominium complex, which is located on Pacific View, across the street from the Lincoln Athletic Center. We have lived there since 1982. We object to the Little League's request for Saturday night Lincoln Field usage for the following reasons: I. Approximately 2 years ago, the Little League made a similar request that was elevated to the City Council where the request was denied as a compromise to the surrounding communities. There is no need to revisit this issue. 2. Saturday evening usage of the Lincoln complex creates undo stress on the surrounding communities • because it results in a greater level of lights, noise and traffic then when the field is not in use. 3. The field lights can presently be used from M -Th until IOPM and can also be used on Friday. Asa good neighbor consideration, the surrounding communities deserve a respite from this activity on Saturday and Sunday evenings. 4. The State and the City are in the midst of a power crisis. We are being threatened with "rolling blackouts" and large rate increases. Under these conditions, it is irresponsible for the Little League to ask for extended lighting periods and it is irresponsible for the City to even consider the issue. 5. Given the current power crisis, we suggest that the Recreation Dept investigate means for more efficient use and consolidation of the lighted periods and also consider eliminating lighted hours or even entire lighted evenings in the interest of conservation. With regard to the issue of a "funding request for the Newport Beach Little League" we request that you send us more detail on this issue. If this request concerns the City providing funding to the Little League, then we would have to voice our strenuous objections. The Little League is a special interest group that should be funded and staffed solely by its participants and independent donations. It should not be funded by the City in any part. Consider, if we fund the Little League today, why not the AYSO, Rugby and even Churches tomorrow. I believe that there would be legal issues raised. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 124, as introduced, Johnson. Department of Transportation: property transfer: Department of Parks and Recreation: City of Newport Beach. (1) The California Constitution authorizes the Legislature, by statute, with respect to state surplus property located in the coastal zone and acquired by the expenditure of certain tax revenues, to transfer the property, for a consideration at least equal to the acquisition cost paid by the state to acquire the property, to the Department of Parks and Recreation for state park purposes. This bill would require the Department of Transportation to transfer a certain parcel of land in the City of Newport Beach to the Department of Parks and Recreation, for use as a park. The bill would authorize the Department of Parks and Recreation and the City of Newport Beach to enter into an operating agreement whereby the city would agree to perform all or a portion of the responsibilities related to the construction, operation, and maintenance of the park and its improvements and to assume liability. (2) The bill would declare that, due to the special circumstances concerning the Department of Transportation property in the City of Newport Beach, a general statute cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution, and the enactment of a special statute is therefore necessary. (3) To the extent that the bill would impose new duties on the City of Newport Beach, the bill would impose a state - mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State - mandated local program: yes. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. (a) The Department of Transportation shall transfer to the Department of Parks and Recreation, upon payment of consideration at least equal to the acquisition cost paid by the state, pursuant to Section 9 of Article XIX of the California Constitution, the state -owned real property described in subdivision (b), for state park purposes. (b) The property to be transferred pursuant to subdivision (a) • consists of approximately 15.05 acres, located in the coastal zone of the City of Newport Beach, adjacent to Superior Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway, identified by Director's Deed 4040766 -01 -01 and known as "Caltrans West." SEC. 2. The Department of Parks and Recreation may enter into an 1 of 2 2/2/200111:45 AM SB 124 Senate Bill - INTRODUCED http: / /info.sen.ca.gov /pub/bill /se..._ 124 _bill_20010125_introduced.html operating agreement with the City of Newport Beach which would require the city to perform all or a portion of the responsibilities • related to the construction, operation, and maintenance of the park and its improvements, and to assume all or a portion of the liability associated therewith. SEC. 3. Due to the unique circumstances concerning the Department of Transportation property in the City of Newport Beach, the Legislature finds and declares that a general statute cannot be made applicable within the meaning of subdivision (b) of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution, and that this special statute is necessary. SEC. 4. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district are the result of a program for which legislative authority was requested by that local agency or school district, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code and Section 6 of Article XIITB of the California Constitution.
