MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETINGS OF TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2013 AND TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2013 Commissioner Dawson moved to approve the consent calendar. Motion was seconded by Guyer and carried by 9-0 vote with Hall, Jutovsky, Kelly, Thomas, Dowty, Rodriguez and Housken voting AYE; none dissenting. V. NEW BUSINESS A. NONE VI. CONTINUED BUSINESS A. PARKING AT UNIVERSITY DOG PARK Ryan Stendell, Senior Management Analyst, stated that he met with staff members regarding the parking situation at University Dog Park. It was determined that the City is lacking a regional facility to take the load off of the smaller parks. The goal is to have open space in our current parks for picnicking and other uses. There was a discussion about the dog park at Freedom Park and the consensus was that it wasn't big enough for the users, therefore, it was suggested that it be expanded so that it's slightly larger than the University Dog Park. The expansion won't impact the residents in the area because it was designed to handle the load and has plenty of parking. It was also thought that perhaps the University Dog Park users wouldn't want to drive to Freedom Park. Another idea would be to utilize the 27-acre parcel located at Interstate 10 and Portola to be used as a dog park and mirroring the rules and regulations of the current dog parks. Commissioner Rodriguez moved to approve the proposed expansion of the dog park located at University Park. Motion was seconded by Kelly, carried by a 9-0 vote with Dawson, Dowty, Guyer, Hall, Jutovsky, Thomas, d Housken voting AYE; none dissenting. A motion was made by Commissioner Guyer to consider leaving the parking situation as it is now at University Park, until it becomes a problem when the homes are being built. The motion died for lack of a second. VII. OLD BUSINESS A. NONE 2 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION DRAFT MINUTES NOVEMBER 5, 2013 VIII. PRESENTATIONS AND UPDATES A. PARK USE REPORT - Magnesia Falls Park (Housken-Kelly-Rodriguez) Chair Housken reported that the Magnesia Falls Park had lots of use for such a small park and inquired about the bicentennial flag base. Mr. Stendell stated that this item will be on the City Council agenda in December. Commissioner Guyer commented that Magnesia Falls Park was the first ADA park in California. Mr. Stendell stated that the platform width is wider than any other park and was designed for wheelchair use. He also mentioned that weekend soccer use is very intense and is very popular. B. PALM DESERT AQUATIC CENTER Karen Creasy was present after a six-month absence and announced two upcoming events which will be held at the Aquatic Center. Underwater Christmas Tree Decoration with Scuba Santa will be held between the hours of noon and 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 7th. Unwrapped gifts are being collected and will be distributed to needy families. The Polar Bear Plunge will take place on Tuesday, December 31st between 12-3:00 p.m. Food, ice cream, sno cones and hot chocolate will be available for purchase. Mr. Stendell stated that the September revenues were down, most likely due to poor weather throughout the month; including humidity, wind and rain. Numbers dropped off for recreational swimmers. Revenues were up during the month of July and about even for August. C. FAMILY YMCA OF THE DESERT Rob Ballew was present and reported on the Youth in Government Program. He stated that 45 kids from the Coachella Valley went to Sacramento to learn about bills and the State Assembly and were able to utilize the actual State and Assembly Chambers during their stay. The Flag Football Program is very popular, with 225 kids enrolled. They play at the soccer fields and it's turned into a whole family experience. The after- school programs are underway at Carter, Ford, Lincoln and Ronald Reagan Elementary schools. Mr. Ballew announced that the YMCA fundraiser, the Ho-Down, will be held this weekend. He reported on the Chamber of Commerce Golf Cart Parade and stated that the VIP area was full with over 300 people. There was a shaded area for the seniors that included chairs, lunch and water, which was very popular with approximately 325 seniors utilizing this area. Councilman Spiegel commented that it was a terrific idea and helped to get seniors out for the parade. 3 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION DRAFT MINUTES NOVEMBER 5, 2013 D. DESERT RECREATION DISTRICT Kevin Kalman was present and stated that he's changed the format of his report and would appreciate any feedback from the Commission. The Wheelchair Basketball Program has begun on Tuesday evenings from 6- 7:30 p.m at the Community Center. There were four wheelchair-bound players on the first night, but now have seven wheelchair-bound players participating along with students from COD. The City has provided two specialized chairs, which cost $2,500. each and stated that they now have ten chairs, but would like two more. Commissioner Rodriguez asked Mr. Kalman if he would consider sponsorship opportunities, as he knows a lot of people who would like to help. Mr. Kalman stated that he was able to secure financing for the additional chairs. The Desert Recreation District is forming an Adaptive Sports and Recreation Council to be in touch with groups that are already providing services to people with special needs. Hand Cycle Clinics are currently being held at the Indio Center. Mr. Kalman reported that the Disability Sports Festival will be held at Civic Center Park in January. Loma Linda University and Cal State San Bernardino have a very large festival and Mr. Kalman has been working with the organizers to get one started here in the desert. There were approximately 120 participants last year and he's hoping to double that number this year. Councilman Spiegel asked Brenda Nutcher, from the Desert Recreation District, if our skate park is in need of any work because Palm Springs just underwent a renovation of their skate park. Ms. Nutcher commented that the Palm Desert Skate Park is the best one in the valley and doesn't need any repairs at this time. Ms. Nutcher reported that the DRD tried to start a girls volleyball program, but it wasn't successful. Ultimate Frisbee is very popular. The after-school programs are full. The DRD brochures are no longer being mailed out due to the cost of postage and Ms. Nutcher asked for suggestions for advertising and distributing information without spending too much money. Currently, the brochures are available at places like the Palm Desert Visitor Center and the library. The DRD is offering cooking classes, which is a free, fun program and a Sunday concert series held at the Community Center. E. CAHUILLA HILLS PARK TRAIL MAINTENANCE DAY Mr. Stendell stated that fifteen people volunteered their time to work on repairing the trail system that was damaged during the storm. They broke into groups and got a lot of work done. There were significant ruts that were filled in so several hours were spent working on them. Photos were 4 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION DRAFT MINUTES NOVEMBER 5, 2013 shown to the Commission of the work crew. Commissioner Jutovsky commented that hikers are voluntarily filling in ruts on their own. Mr. Stendell stated that the Desert Trails group has a crew working on the trails every week so that they're easier to hike and mountain bike on. IX. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS Commissioner Thomas reminded the Commission that today is the two- year anniversary since voting on adding more pickleball courts at the parks in Palm Desert. He's requesting that this be an agenda item for the next meeting. Chair Housken reported on the Envision Palm Desert meeting and the micro-parks and pocket-parks. She asked how the City measures success and how we evaluate park usage. She wondered if there was any information on how the various parks are used. Mr. Stendell stated that he uses data from the YMCA and the Desert Recreation District and there are other agencies that produce an annual report card. Chair Housken inquired about the "Bombshell Betty's". Mr. Stendell stated that this roller derby group has been in the media several times. They were using the basketball courts and tennis courts at Civic Center Park but we were concerned that their skates would damage the surface. Trying to find an appropriate location for them has been a challenge. A parking lot area had previously been offered to them, but there were too many obstacles. The group submitted their insurance information and pay a fee to use the basketball court at University Park. X. ADJOURNMENT With no further business or discussion, and with the Commissioners' unanimous concurrence, the meeting was adjourned at 9:47 a.m. Donna Evans, Recording Secretary 5 CITY OF PALM DESERT PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION REPORT SUBJECT: Pickleball Use Assessment SUBMITTED BY: Ryan Stendell, Senior Management Analyst DATE: January 14, 2014 At the November 2013 meeting, Commissioner Thomas requested that the Commission review the future needs of the pickleball community. In speaking with Commissioner Thomas, he is requesting that the City study the potential of adding 6-8 dedicated pickleball courts in Civic Center Park adjacent to the tennis courts (south). In reviewing Commissioner Thomas' request, staff has identified several constraints as follows: 1. Original Approvals of Civic Center Park: The original approval of the Master Plan for Civic Center Park shows expansion areas for both the Palm Desert Community Center and the Family YMCA of the Desert. The expansion areas were approved by the City Council and each agency has expressed interest in pursuing their plans. Placing any improvements in these areas would require the City Council to amend the original Master Plan for the park. 2. Current Demand for Pickleball Space: Before we add any new facilities, staff should analyze current use to determine if there is sufficient need. The City currently has nine pickleball courts spread throughout our various parks. Currently five of those courts are dual-striped courts and four are dedicated courts. The heaviest pickleball use is during the morning hours (9am-12noon) at Cahuilla Hills Park only. Staff has had no requests to switch out the nets so that the courts could be used for pickleball at either Civic Center Park or Freedom Park. At this time, staff does not believe that there is enough demand on existing facilities to justify building 6-8 courts in any park. The area suggested by Commissioner Thomas would require an amendment to the original Civic Center Park Master Plan. Staff's intent/recommendation is to analyze the growth of pickleball in the design of the North Sphere Regional Park and determine how many courts might be needed at that time. SAN PA'..
