Dear Mr. Morgan:
This letter is to confirm the joint meeting of the Newport Beach Parks, Recreation and Beaches
Commission with the Costa Mesa Parks and Recreation Commission on Tuesday, October 2, at
5:30pm, in the Fire Conference Room in the City of Newport Beach.
The only item we would like to "officially' agendize is a discussion of field use for those leagues
whose organizational boundaries fall in both cities, currently AYSO 97 and Newport Harbor Baseball
Association (NHBA). In addition, it would be informative if staff from each City could provide
information about current and upcoming park development projects.
• We appreciate and look forward to the opportunity for our commissioners to get together.
Please call me at (714) 754 -5654 or Bill Morris, Public Services Director at (714) 754 -5343 if you have
questions or additional items to agendize.
Sincerely,
Jana M. Ransom

To: Parks, Beaches fi Recreation Commission
From: Andrea McGuire, Recreation Superintendent
Re: Recreation Division Monthly Activities Report
ADULT SPORTS
BASKETBALL - Eighty -four adult hoop teams tipped off during September and played at 4 sites
throughout the City. The popular adult basketball program continues to reach capacity, as many
teams register all 4 seasons in this year round program. The new Newport Coast Community Center
will be a welcome addition to Adult Basketball program as the City will be able to accommodate
more teams in what is already the most popular adult basketball program in Southern California.
SoFrBALL - Ninety -one teams began play during the September with 46 men's teams and 45 coed
teams taking the field. The puzzle of field allocation is complex in the fall season as softball shares
fields and facilities with Junior All - American Football, Flag Football and AYSO soccer. Assisted by
the Park Patrol staff, all groups are working together to make the facility sharing go smoothly.
In an effort to improve participant safety, 48 different non- approved softball bats are illegal during
adult softball play. The non - approved bats can increase the speed in which the ball is hit toward
• fielders, resulting in minimal reaction time.
Also, a new rule effective for the 2006 fall season is in play for games at CYC /Grant Howald Park.
Any player hitting a ball over the right field fence will be ejected from the game and suspended for
the next scheduled game. The 3 out "carryover" rule remains in effect. This will greatly reduce the
number of balls flying over the fence, resulting in a safer atmosphere for the residents on 5th
Street and Goldenrod Ave in Corona del Mar.
SOCCER - The City's coed adult soccer program continues to pack them in with a full 22 teams
shooting for the goal. This program is given the late evening slots during the fall sports season, with
many games beginning at 8:30pm and ending at 10pm. Games are played at Bonita Creek Park,
Lincoln Athletic Center, and Arroyo Park.
YOUTH PROGRAMS
YOUTH FLAG FOOTBALL - Staff has been preparing for the kick -off of the Youth Flag Football league
scheduled for October 6. There are a 18 teams with a total of 280 participants that will take the field in
3 divisions this year! Children entering grades 3 through 8 will have fun in a non - competitive atmosphere
with a focus on learning the essential fundamentals of Flag Football, with an emphasis on sportsmanship,
teamwork, and Fun! Coaches attended a hands -on clinic in the City of Azusa on September 9 to help
learn the rules of the game. A second training was held September 20 that covered a variety of topics
including sportsmanship, coaching fundamentals, officiating and City policy.
The 4 -week Tiny League Flag Football Clinic for I" and 2nd grade youth will begin October 7 and
• conclude on October 28. The Clinic is held on Saturdays and will introduce boys and girls to the
game of flag football with a focus on the basics. This program is a great way for the young athletes
to develop motor skills and learn the FUNdamentals of the game.

AFTER SCHOOL AND CAMPS
• SUMMER DAY CAMP - This year's Summer Day Camp was a
great success, generating $97,000 in revenue with 847
campers having the time of their lives this past
summer. Some of the highlights inicluded new field
trips to ClimbX Indoor Rock Climbing and the Ringling
Brothers Circus! This year's rashguards were an
excellent addition as they improved the quality of

safety. Hang loose until next summer!
AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM - The KidScene After - School Program began September 5 and will operate
daily from school dismissal time until 6pm. Daily activities include homework, arts and crafts,

maximize registration by attending Back to School Nights and setting up meetings with principals.

Newport Beach residents, Harbor and CdM High School students are eligible to apply. The Council
• will be selected at the end of September with the first meeting to be held on October 16.
FIELD TRIP - The 4th annual NAC Day on the Bay is scheduled for October 11 from 2- 4:30pm at the
Newport Aquatic Center. The 7th and 8th grade students will walk from Ensign Junior High to the

AFTERNOONS ON THE BAY - Staff is gearing up for the second year of the program to begin September
25. This collaborative program with the Newport Sea Base continues to offer Junior High aged youth
the opportunity to fish the Newport Bay on Monday and sail on Wednesday afternoons.

FRIENDS FUNDRAISER - The Friends held their annual Boutique and Rummage Sale on September 29 -30
from 9am to 2pm each day. Many volunteers worked very hard collecting, sorting and pricing items
before the sale. The sale was scaled down quite a bit in order to make it more manageable and to
prevent the enormous amounts of leftovers at the end of the sale.
SPECIAL EVENT - The Fashion Show and Tea, held September 22 was a huge success with over 180
people. Jay's Catering served tea sandwiches and desserts, a variety of teas and our own seniors
were used for models. Drapers and Damons, a local dress shop, donated their time and clothing.
The event was very popular and the seniors appreciated seeing models with clothing that they
could actually wear.

Cholesterol in Check ". She defined what cholesterol is, reviewed the different types of cholesterol
and interpreted what your blood cholesterol results mean. Lifestyle changes were also discussed.
