VI. CURRENT BUSINESS A. Bonita Creek Synthetic Turf Maintenance Update For information only. Director Detweiler stated that when the synthetic turf project was installed and completed that the Commission had asked for an update on the maintenance and other aspects of the project in six months. Director Detweiler introduced Manager Schmillen to provide the update. Manager Schmillen provided a PowerPoint presentation that included slides related to the installation of the synthetic turf in August 2015. He noted that the synthetic turf has provided increased opportunities for additional groups to play including high school sports, adult leagues, and open field time. One of the pivotal parts of maintaining the fields is preventative maintenance and education. There are specific rules that apply to synthetic turf fields. He went on to say that Park Patrol has done a great job with public contact and providing information to youth sports groups and individual users and the substantial participatory care from the public and the Youth Sports Commission has been extremely helpful. With respect to maintenance Manager Schmillen said the fields are swept weekly or twice a week based on usage and that the groomer is run every four to six weeks across the field which takes two to three hours. Manager Schmillen explained that there were a number of new groups using the fields and presented the distribution of usage between the groups and provided several photos of the field both before and after and highlighted features of the field. Manager Schmillen noted that staff was able to offer a winter season for the first time because of the new turf. Grass fields are closed from December 12th to January 31st for rest, recovery, and maintenance purposes which are not necessary with synthetic turf.. Commissioner Englebrecht asked Mr. Schmillen about overuse of the synthetic fields especially with adult users. Manager Schmillen said that the installer, Field Turf, advised that with routine maintenance and normal use the typical life of a field is between 8 and 11 years and that the size of the players is not a factor. Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Minutes April 5, 2016 Page 3 Commissioner Englebrecht asked if the Department was getting more revenue because of the increased use. Director Detweiler said they received increased revenues with increased rentals, but stated that the intent was never to recoup the cost. The intent was to increase usage which they have done. The field is costly with installation around $1M, but a great investment for the community. Commissioner Englebrecht stated that the 466 additional use hours was tremendous. Vice Chair Marston said it was a good report and thanked the staff. Commissioner Hayes confirmed that every group except for the schools paid for the usage of the field. Manager Schmillen stated that Commissioner Hayes was correct. Fee structure for the youth sports open groups is $1 per hour. The YSC club groups rate is $15 per hour. Commissioner Hayes asked if the school groups had priority over non-school groups. Manager Schmillen said that the school groups do have priority and indicated they were in Class D which follows Class C which is open youth sports groups and off season groups. Commission Hayes asked if private instructors giving private lessons without paying the City a fee was an ongoing issue. Manager Schmillen indicated it was something they saw, but noted that Park Patrol educated people about policies and procedures and that usually it is a onetime offense. Director Detweiler said there is a lot of self-policing that goes on. She also noted that there was a mated osprey couple that was courting at the field, and explained that the City built the osprey a platform on the middle light standard. Commissioner Englebrecht asked if the high schools received a special rate Specifically, if the schools were charged less than a public entity who wanted to rent the field. Manager Schmillen said that under the joint use agreement that no fee is charged. Commissioner Englebrecht stated that the taxpayers of Newport Beach gave the Newport-Mesa School District special treatment for the use of the field yet the Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Minutes April 5, 2016 Page 4 Newport-Mesa School District was going against the taxpayers to build a football stadium at Corona del Mar High School. Director Detweiler explained that the joint use agreement has been place for a long time and that the City receives great benefit from use of school facilities in order to offer a well rounded recreation program to the community. Chair Howald complimented the staff on the report and requested further updates in six months and a year. He asked if there was signage related to dogs near the field. Manager Schmillen confirmed there was signage near the field and along the pathway. There are no doggie bags near the field, but there are in other places as well as adequate trash receptacles. Chair Howald asked Director Detweiler if there were contingencies in the budget for replacement of the turf in the future. Director Detweiler explained the condition of the field would be monitored. She expects to get the full useful life of the field due to diligent maintenance efforts. Eventually the rug would be replaced, but this would be substantially less than the initial installation. It would be much less than the initial $1M and would go through the CIP process. Chair Howald opened the public comments; hearing none the public comments were closed. VII. ANNOUNCEMENTS / FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS Chair Howald has heard from a number of people related to the dog beach issue. He advised people that it was a County property, but that signage would be added. Director Detweiler said they were moving forward with the Commission’s directives, but needed time to work through the process. Chair Howald asked about the timeline related to Poppy. Director Pisani said the design stage had taken longer than expected, but the contract would be on the next Council meeting. The project is on track to begin construction in September; with PB&R Commission review in June or July. He stated that there would be a complete reconstruction of the street, curb, gutter, sidewalk on Poppy along with the planting of 64 trees. Director Pisani announced two free bags of compost would be given out on April 9th between 9 and 11am at the OASIS Auxiliary Parking lot. Chair Howald inquired about the new Corona del Mar Library and the fire station, but the staff did not know if the start date was determined. Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Minutes April 5, 2016 Page 5 Director Detweiler stated that Marina Park hosted their first Movie in the Park at Marina Park with about 350 attendees. She noted that the Mayor’s Spring Egg Roll event had been well attended. She stated that the pickleball courts had been included in the CIP update to the Council. She announced that each year the City takes applications for special event support from the City Council; the process is open until May 2nd and nonprofits are encouraged to apply. Director Detweiler commented that the Department is preparing for their summer program and introduced Supervisor Stephanie Brown. Supervisor Brown addressed the Commission about summer camps and that registration is up 49% to date from 2015. She provided three promo videos on aquatics, afterschool classes (ACE) and the 2015 track meet and reminded the Commission that the 2016 track meet is scheduled for April 15. VIII.

An inspired celebration of Arbor Day! Thank you, Eastbluff Elementary School, for hosting the event. Drought Tolerant Landscaping Installed Last month, our Parks Maintenance Crew coordinated the enhancement of the landscape at Kings Road Park. Due to the incline at that location, it had been difficult to make use of the area. It is now a beautiful, drought tolerant planter filled with a magnificent variety of succulents. Projects such as this will keep our water usage down while beautifying the City. 33rd Annual Newport-Mesa Spirit Run On Sunday, March 20, the 33rd Annual Newport-Mesa Spirit Run was held at Fashion Island. This event included a Family Walk, Toddler Trot, Elite Mile, 5K and 10K run. Parks Maintenance crewmembers set up traffic control and road closures to create a safe environment for the participants. Great job to everyone who assisted with this event! Parks, Trees, and Beach Maintenance Divisions – Activities Report June 7, 2016 Page 3 San Miguel Park Turf Renovation Landscape Division staff have identified several redundant turf areas near parking lots or other hardscapes where irrigation run-off can be an issue. These areas have been placed on a list for future renovation. One such area is San Miguel Park where our crew recently replaced the parking lot median turf with drought-tolerant, colorful plants. These plants included Fire Sticks, Aloes, Creeping Sage, and Sedge Grass. Additionally, the irrigation was modified with low-precipitation, precision nozzles. Before After TREES: As part of the City’s overall grid and annual trimming schedule, in March and April, the City’s tree service contractor pruned trees within the Corona del Mar, Cameo Highlands, Cameo Shores, and Lido Isle areas. Additionally, pruning has occurred at various Palm tree locations. Month of: Trees Trimmed: Trees Removed: Trees Planted: March 1,469 82 35 April 909 100 26 BEACH MAINTENANCE: Red Crabs Back at the Beach Over the weekend of May 13, a blanket of red crabs washed onto the beaches with the 6-foot tide. The heaviest concentration of crabs was at China Cove, Corona del Mar State Beach, and Balboa Island. Unlike previous years, the crabs also washed up on the south facing beaches between Newport Pier and Balboa Pier. Throughout the following week, Field Maintenance crews raked and hauled these tiny red crabs to the Corporation Yard for disposal. Staff estimates the amount of crabs removed from our beaches will exceed 20 tons this year, compared to 60 tons in June 2014. Parks, Trees, and Beach Maintenance Divisions – Activities Report June 7, 2016 Page 4 Recent El Niño Rain Event The March El Niño rain event brought unusually high surf and strong winds to Newport Beach. MOD Crews from numerous divisions reported to work earlier than their usual shift as high tide occurred early in the mornings. There was a time when staff operated pumps to remove rainwater from the streets as the rain and high tide occurred simultaneously. The pumping prevented flooding to both private and public properties. Several beach locations, including the Lifeguard Station at Newport Pier, experienced erosion due to the high tides. Additionally, Field Maintenance crews set up berms during the high surf to prevent parking lot flooding. The boardwalk and street ends at the Newport Pier area were inundated with sand from the strong winds. Sand Removal on Newport Shoreline Last fall and again in March, County forces moved sand from the Santa Ana River to the beach in West Newport. This increased the height of the sand by four feet, which blocked the ocean view for many residents. Last week, Field Maintenance staff hired Tight Quarters to redistribute the sand. Over the course of four days, they returned the grade back to normal. Beach Maintenance Supervisor Joe Delgado was the lead on this project and did a great job coordinating the contractor’s efforts and responding to concerned residents. Parks, Trees, and Beach Maintenance Divisions – Activities Report June 7, 2016 Page 5 From: Danielle Friedman Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2016 4:06 PM Subject: Sand dune leveling I want to say thank you from all the residents near the Newport Beach river jetty for leveling off the sand that the County of Orange dumped in front of our homes. The sand was so high that it blocked our view to the ocean. I really appreciate all of your hard work and efforts in lowering the level of sand and allowing us to see the waves again. It means a lot to all of us that you took the initiative to make things right and lower the level of sand on the beach in front of 68th street all the way to the river jetty. I am very pleased to have my view back. Thank you again for making the residents of Newport Beach get there beach back to normal!

Marina Park Appreciation From: Nick Colonelli [mailto:ncolonelli@sbcglobal.net] Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2016 9:51 AM To: Detweiler, Laura Subject: My Marina Park experience Hello Director Detweiler, My name is Nick Colonelli, my wife and I spend last weekend as guests in slip #19 of the new marina and I wanted to take a moment to send you a note regarding how wonderful it was. The facility is beautiful, we enjoyed the view of the bay, the sandy beaches and had a very nice dinner at the lighthouse cafe our first night there. The boater restrooms were very nice and clean, and the laundry room is a nice touch (even though we didn't have a need, its great that you provide that service). As a local boater, who enjoys short weekend trips to the many near by marina facilities, I must say yours is the best around. Most importantly, and the reason I took the time to write this note, is that I wanted to express my gratitude for the service provide by Ryan Stanford, the Dockmaster. His communications with me both online and via phone in the weeks prior to our trip was very prompt and succinct, making me very comfortable with what to expect, especially having never been to the marina before. On my day of arrival, Mr. Stanford was very helpful, ensuring we had all that we needed and making sure I was comfortable getting into the slip (even letting me move to a different slip upon my request). I also observed him providing prompt dock line assistance to another boater who was departing the following day. In all, his efforts and customer service really made a difference regarding our experience in the marina and we look forward to a return visit very soon. Please express my gratitude to Mr. Stanford and the remainder of your staff responsible for maintaining the Marina Park facility, it truly is a beautiful park. Nick Colonelli 5 KID TALK! Kids from our programs sharing their insight on important and fun topics. This month Amelia, a kindergartener in our gymnastics classes shared her thoughts on a few questions. Q. What is the best thing about being a kid? A. Getting to have a lot of fun. A lot of free time to be in fun classes like swimming and surfing. Q. What is the most important rule? A. To not litter. The world would be trash and smell yucky. Water would make dirt from the trash stick to everyone. Q. Why do people grow old? A. They keep growing and they get white hair. White hair means old. Q. What is the greatest thing ever invented? A. Ice cream Mind Booster Program Concerned about memory loss?

Program at the UCI Ropes Course The Recreation & Senior Services (RSS) Training Task Force hosted a Department wide retreat with the Team Up! Program at the UCI Ropes Course. Through various activities, The Team Up! staff provided opportunities for RSS staff to improve team work, build trust and support, enhance problem solving skills and communication. The most challenging of the activities was the 50ft Odyssey course, where teams were required to work together to navigate obstacles (like wire walking and hopping along small planks) and overcome challenges (keeping eyes closed, while staying linked together at all times). Rotary Dinner 2016 The Newport-Balboa Rotary Club hosted their annual recognition dinner at the Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club to honor outstanding athletes from the Newport Beach Youth Track & Field Championships, last month at CdM High School. Over 470 athletes competed in this year’s meet and 20 athletes were selected to attend the dinner based off outstanding individual performances in multiple events. Their combined results include 32 First place finishes. The night included a keynote speech from Coach Bill Sumner and the athletes in attendance received the coveted Okazaki Friendship medal from our Sister City in Japan. Meet records are based off the year that the athletes are born in and this year we had two records broken.  Zinone Hudson broke the 2009 Boys Long Jump record with a jump of 9 feet 8 inches. This record was originally set in 2002 by Brandon Metzger with a jump of 8 feet 10 inches  Owen Lucas broke the 2003 Boys 400 Meter Run record with a time of 59.80 seconds. Michael Andraszczyk set this record back in 2003 with a time of 1 minute 2 seconds. 7 The Whirlwind Traveling ISOpod The ISOpod (Interactive Sealife Outreach) has been whirling around town to educate and encourage the public to protect the local tidepools and wetland habitats. Within the ISOpod’s recent travels, the Earth Day Celebration and Davis Magnet School Eco Night are memorable events to highlight. The Office of Natural Resources took part in the Earth Day Celebration hosted by the Newport Bay Conservancy and O.C. Parks. This free event, held at the Peter and Mary Muth Interpretive Center, attracted around 1,500 community members to learn about actions that are having a negative impact on the environment and ways each person can make a positive change. The ISOpod emphasized tidepool species and the importance of Marine Protected Areas. Many visitors awed at the mobile aquarium and the hands on displays. Visitors learned about how each tidepool species plays an important part in maintaining a balanced intertidal ecosystem and proper tidepool etiquette. Another recent event was the Davis Magnet School Eco Night. This annual event brings environmental clubs from different schools (elementary to high school) together for an open house style event. Booths were set up to display student’s environmental projects to teach about various environmentally related issues. The ISOpod was an excellent tool to teach students, staff, and parents about the importance of protecting our oceans specifically our tidepools. Visitors asked many questions and had a thirst to make a difference to better the environment. The ISOpod had a busy schedule the past few weeks and has encouraged many visitors of all ages to care for the quality of our waterways. With many upcoming events, the Natural Resource staff is eager to continue with ISOpod outreach programs. For more information on the ISOpod please e-mail nbmarineeducation@newportbeachca.gov Congratulations Jessica! Please join me in congratulating Jessica Velasco for her promotion to Senior Recreation Leader at Marina Park! Jessica has been with us since the opening of Marina Park (her first day was our move-in day) and has been a valued member of the team since day one. In six months, Jessica has gained firsthand experience with facility procedures, rentals, contract classes, and assisting with the scheduling/oversight of the Newport El ACE program. Jessica brings years of recreation related experience to the position from her previous employment as a Recreation Leader with the City of Moreno Valley and has worked at the Mission Inn Restaurant, and Hotel Irvine. Jessica enjoys soccer, snowboarding, mud runs, the Dodgers (Clayton Kershaw), and is excited to further her career in recreation. 8 Event Time is Here! Marina Park is the hot new place to host events in Newport Beach. This past weekend the facility was rented for a corporate retreat and two weddings. Friday’s reservation transformed our event room into a getaway for businessmen and women as most guests were transported straight from the airport to Marina Park. A steel drummer played background music as the guests socialized, enjoyed food and beverages provided by Lighthouse Café. Lawn games, rented beach cruisers, and paddleboards were a great addition to this event. Marina Park hosted two weddings this past Saturday and Sunday. What made these events special was that both groups are local neighbors of Marina Park and watched the facility come to fruition from the construction stage to their wedding venue. Our busy event weekend was a great test run for staff and the facility. It was a preview of what the upcoming summer months will look like at Marina Park! 9 Park Patrol The following patrol checks/public contact numbers reflect the Park Patrol daily calls for service as well as issues discovered during normal patrol activities. Due to the timing of the meeting, these monthly summaries will be two months behind (i.e. in June you will receive April summary).

The Newport Beach Arts Foundation has offered to purchase the piece and donate it to the City. At their April meeting, the City Arts Commission approved the acceptance of the piece, pending the approval of the Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Commission to site the piece in Civic Center park, per the guidelines in Council Policy I-11, Acquisition of Art by the City of Newport Beach. RECOMMENDATION: The City Arts Commission requests consideration by the PB&R Commission for the permanent placement of Sphere 112 in Civic Center Park; if approved, the recommendation will then be forwarded to the City Council at a future meeting. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: Sphere 112 will be purchased privately by the Newport Beach Arts Foundation at a cost of $15,000 and donated to the City. The piece is currently in place adjacent to Avocado Avenue just north of the intersection with San Miguel Drive. Maintenance, estimated at $250 annually, will be expensed from the Cultural Arts account #10160603-811008, Professional and Technical Services. DISCUSSION: Sphere 112 by Ivan McLean (see Attachment A) is one of the works featured in Phase 1 of the Inaugural Newport Beach Civic Center Park Sculpture Exhibition. The piece was named for the size of its diameter, 112 inches. Mr. McLean assembled the piece from stainless steel rods of various shapes and sizes selected randomly and welded together. Currently installed adjacent to Avocado Avenue just north of the intersection with San Miguel Drive (see Attachment B), Sphere 112 was voted as the People’s Choice for best sculpture at the Grand Opening of the Sculpture Exhibition in Civic TO: Item VI-A June 7, 2016 PARKS, BEACHES, AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: Library Services Department Tim Hetherton, Library Services Director 949-717-3810, thetherton@newportbeachca.gov TITLE: Request to Permanently Site Sphere 112 Sculpture in Civic Center Park. NEWPORT BEACH PB&R COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CITY OF Request to Permanently Site Sphere 112 Sculpture in Civic Center Park Page 2 Center Park on September 13, 2014. Mr. McLean is an acclaimed sculptor who has many examples of public and private art on display throughout the country. The Newport Beach Arts Foundation, upon City Arts Commission approval, expressed interest in purchasing Sphere 112 and donating it to the City. An initial concern, however, was the durability of the piece in Newport Beach’s coastal environment. Cursory inspection in January 2015 revealed that the piece had oxidization present where the stainless steel rods were welded together as well as some oxidation on the rods themselves. Discussions with the sculptor, Ivan McLean, indicate that Sphere 112 was fabricated from 304 grade stainless steel which is durable in most situations but does not fare well in a corrosive marine environment. In response to this concern, the City Arts Commission in March 2015 agreed to authorize Mr. McLean to create, at his own cost, a replacement piece for Sphere 112 with a similar piece fabricated from a more durable 316 marine grade stainless steel. The refabricated piece was installed in December 2015. In January 2016, the City Arts Commission listed the purchase of Sphere 112 as a potential funding opportunity for the Newport Beach Arts Foundation on the condition that the replacement piece demonstrated that it was resistant to oxidization. Staff has monitored the condition of Sphere 112 closely, and the replacement piece has fared well through the rainy season, with no signs of oxidization (see Attachment C). The piece meets the criteria as established in Council Policy I-9, Art in Public Places (Attachment D), and Council Policy I-11, Acquisition of Art by the City of Newport Beach (Attachment E). The Fine Arts Ad Hoc Subcommittee has reviewed the Application for the Review and Consideration of Art submitted by Mrs. Carmen Smith of the Newport Beach Arts Foundation and has approved the acceptance of the donation. The City Arts Commission will recommend that City Council accept the donation of Sphere 112 from the Newport Beach Arts Foundation, pending the approval from the PB&R Commission to place the piece in Civic Center Park.

DISCUSSION: Staff recently received a request to designate a single species of a City street tree along the 100 block of Pearl Avenue on Balboa Island. The most recent revisions to City Council Policy G-6 (Maintenance and Planting of Parkway Trees) by the PB&R Commission in December of 2014 and ultimately by the City Council in September of 2015, included two tree lists for planting of City trees: - Street Tree Designation List: contains a designated street tree for individual streets within certain neighborhoods with active homeowner associations, the Fashion Island area, and other streets with a specifically designated streetscape; - Parkway Tree Designation List: applies to the majority of the residential streets in the City and includes a choice of trees based on parkway width and tree availability. There are several reasons for giving the property owners a choice based on parkway width and availability: o Arborists recommend against having a single species of tree in a neighborhood. Many trees of the same variety can be infected by insects or disease, causing death to a number of trees in a row; o Many of the trees on the previous list were not appropriate for the parkway size on the individual streets, leading to hardscape or utility damage; and o A varied list provides property owners a choice based on their landscape interests. TO: Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission FROM: Municipal Operations Department Mike Pisani, Municipal Operations Department Director 949 644-3055, mpisani@newportbeachca.gov TITLE: Designation of Single Street Tree Species – 100 Block of Pearl Avenue Designation of Single Street Tree Species – 100 Block of Pearl Avenue June 7, 2016 Page 2 This request, if approved, will move the 100 block of Pearl Avenue on Balboa Island to the Street Tree Designation List, with one tree designated for that section of Pearl Avenue. Therefore, in the future when sidewalk, curb, or gutter work or the death of one of the existing trees necessitates the removal of the tree, it would be replaced with the Magnolia “Samuel Sommers” tree. Staff has determined, for the purpose of gauging neighborhood interest in designating a single tree species, that the petition process included in Council Policy G-1 be followed. Applicant Joseph Yee, property owner and resident at 115 Pearl Avenue, requested the designation of Magnolia grandiflora ‘Samuel Sommers’ tree for the 100 block of Pearl Avenue. He has petitioned and received support of property owners within the area defined for his request. Mr. Yee has provided the signatures of 17 property owners on his petition, which meets the required minimum of 60% to begin the process. Staff is satisfied with the number of signatures submitted in favor of this street tree designation request. If the Commission approves the designation of the single tree species, the recommendation would be forwarded to the City Council for inclusion on the next City Council Policy G-6 update. NOTICING: Council Member Edward Selich, Balboa Island Improvement Association, and Joseph Yee have received a copy of this report.

DISCUSSION: City Council Policy B-17 establishes criteria for parks, facilities, and recreation program donations within the City. The policy is structured to establish a fair and uniform procedure for making gifts to the City, and to make the donation process easier for staff and donors. The City has received the donation request from Phil McNamee to donate a Victoria Style (w/ back) bench and an Elkay drinking fountain with bottle filler and dog bowl at Inspiration Point. The cost of the donation, slightly over $19,000, will include the 10% maintenance fee required by Council Policy B-17. The placement of the bench will require the extension of the small concrete retaining wall. The donation request and proposed location were approved by the Municipal Operations Director. Since the value of the donation is greater than $1,000, the donation items are eligible to receive dedicatory plaques. The submitted plaques verbiage, which complies with City Council Policy B-17, is “In Memory of George McNamee”. Dedication information is provided as Attachment E.
