V. NEW BUSINESS A. PALMA VILLAGE PARK - EASTERN PASSIVE AREA An aerial map of Palma Village Park was included in the commissioner's packets for their review. Mr. Ryan Stendell spoke about the eastern portion of the park and commented that transients have been seen in the circular, passive area. The police have been notified and have confronted the transients and had them sign letters stating that they won't loiter in the park. Mr. Stendell stated that this is a very busy neighborhood park and asked the commissioners if they had any ideas about changes that could be made to the passive area to make it more active so that transients don't hang out there. The budget is minimal and he suggested adding a BBQ and picnic tables.

Spencer Knight, Landscape Manager, stated that Freedom Dog Park will be closed for about three weeks during construction of the fencing. C. VOLUNTEER EFFORTS — HIKING TRAILS The California Conservation Corps were in the valley for three weeks and they did a lot of work on the trails.

D. 2014 SPRING CONCERTS IN THE PARK The flyer for the 2014 Spring Concerts in the Park was included in packets for the commissioners to review.

PARK USE REPORT -University Dog Park (Kalman-Thomas) -University Park East (Ballew-Dawson-Jutovsky) A discussion was held regarding the fencing that's currently in place and intended to be used in the future for community gardens at University Park East. Staff is recommending that the fencing remain in place so that future homeowners could take advantage of this benefit. A report was presented by Kevin Kalman, DRD, regarding both the University Dog Park and University Park East commenting that the fly traps should be re-baited at the dog park and the paint is corroded next to the gate. Otherwise, the parks look really good overall and people were enjoying them. Mr. Stendell addressed the commission and spoke to them about possibly doing a Parks Spotlight so that all the commissioners visit the same park during the same month. A schedule will be provided to the commissioners before the next meeting. G. PALM DESERT AQUATIC CENTER Karen Creasy was present and addressed the Commission and presented the Palm Desert Aquatic Center report. She stated that winter activity has been very strong. The water aerobics classes are very popular with about 45 participants per class. Land exercise classes are underway with Yoga, Zumba Gold and Silver Sneakers Classic. The snack bar started selling nachos during Spring Break and they sold 249 nachos in nine days. Birthday parties are being booked and swim lessons have begun. The PDAC is advertising on Facebook, a blog, their website and CV Weekly. Ms. Creasy invited the Commissioners to help with the kids at the pool on Easter Sunday (April 20th) at the Underwater Easter Egg Hunt. May 10th is Community Swim Lesson Day. There are eight Olympians participating this year. At the event last year, there were 2,000 people on the pool deck. Full facility rentals are going well. H. FAMILY YMCA OF THE DESERT Karen Creasy stated that Spring Break Camps were full with 60 kids participating. The Y Rookies program is very successful. The Palm Easter Egg Hunt/Healthy Kids Day will be held at Civic Center Park at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 19th. This is a no cost event and is very popular. The 2014 Charity YMCA Golf Tournament will be held at the JW Marriott on Thursday, May 1st 4 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION DRAFT MINUTES APRIL 1, 2014 I. DESERT RECREATION DISTRICT -International Sports Festival Report -Program Updates -Facilities Use Kevin Kalman introduced Maureen Archiletta, who has been promoted to Community Services Supervisor. The Master Plan was presented to the Board of Supervisors and was approved. The installation of the new clubhouse for the First Tee has been postponed because the facility has been so busy. They're hoping to have the new clubhouse in place by the end of June. Brenda Nutcher stated that there were 1,054 athletes who participated in the Senior Games, which was similar to last year. There were 193 residents and 861 non-residents. The most popular sport was pickleball, but track and field had good participation as well. Councilman Spiegel wondered why they don't offer 18-hole golf during the Senior Games. Mr. Kalman stated that the cost to the participant would be fairly high and they haven't seen the participation that they had hoped for in the past. They had gotten a good deal from Del Webb Sun City previously, but the DRD hasn't had that arrangement in many years. Councilman Spiegel suggested that they contact Palm Desert Country Club, as their green fees are reasonable and they're looking for people to play there. IX. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS A discussion was held regarding the remaining two un-built parks within University Park. Mr. Stendell stated that the parks will be paid for by the developers in the University Park area. The parks are funded by the Community Facilities District that was formed to pay for infrastructure in the area. The remaining parks will be built when the surrounding homes are constructed. Questions were asked about the coyote issue at Ironwood Park. Mr. Stendell stated that residents have seen the coyote population go up and down and were concerned that the native area at Ironwood Park could be an area where they could be denning. They've hosted two neighborhood meetings to teach the residents how to discourage coyotes. No evidence has been found of denning as vegetation is being removed. It was suggested that the Commission look at the resident survey that was performed seven years ago to see if the City has fulfilled the items that were addressed at that time. Mr. Stendell commented that he would provide the executive summary for the commissioners to review at the next meeting. 5 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION DRAFT MINUTES APRIL 1, 2014 It was asked that a future agenda item be added with regard to Cahuilla Hills Park and the addition of low-cost aluminum bleachers with a shade awning at the pickleball courts.

The survey was designed to obtain statistically valid results from households throughout the City of Palm Desert. The survey was administered by a combination of mail and phone. Leisure Vision worked extensively with City of Palm Desert officials in the development of the survey questionnaire. This work allowed the survey to be tailored to issues of strategic importance to effectively plan the future system. In April 2006,surveys were mailed to a random sample of 2,500 households in the City of Palm Desert. Approximately three days after the surveys were mailed, each household that received a survey also received an electronic voice message encouraging them to complete the survey. In addition, about two weeks after the surveys were mailed, Leisure Vision began contacting households by phone, either to encourage completion of the mailed survey or to administer the survey by phone. The goal was to obtain a total of at least 600 completed surveys. This goal was accomplished,with a total of 641 surveys having been completed. The results of the random sample of 641 households have a 95% level of confidence with a precision of at least+/-3.9%.

Total time to present these items would be 5—7 minutes: • INCIGHT demo: I've attached two slides from this event held on 4/16 at 6 PM at the Civic Park tennis courts. • Cahuilla court improvements: I've attached four slides. The first two, 583 and 584, show the holes in the shade structure. The second two, 587 and 588, shown view from inside PB court on the south/west corner, and from outside that court. Would like to have an aluminum bleacher, say three rows,for folks to watch PB. I'm not asking for a shade structure over these bleachers. It would be too costly. Hikers come out almost daily and stop to watch the sport and ask questions. This way, it would be more comfortable for them. Also, if we were to conduct any group events, such as demos, then they could sit and receive initial instructions, etc. • PB Study Group: Would like to invite commissioners to join myself and Ray in forming a PB study group. This group would explore issues and initiatives such as: o Creating a mechanism to support a private/public partnership to raise funds for PB facilities o Researching how to attract "benefactors" and supports to hold fund raising events o Working with the school district and PE teachers to introduce and support PB classes and/or after school activities (example: PE teacher Brent Murphy at Gerald Ford Elementary). Thanks, Chris From: Chris Thomas To: Stendell, Ryan Cc: gavilan59Caaol.com Subject: June Parks Commission Meeting Date: Tuesday,May 27,2014 2:37:00 PM Hi Ryan. I'll be out-of-town on 6/3 attending my HS 50 year reunion. Ray and I have met and discussed the PB agenda items. Please them on the agenda. Most are merely informational with photos, such as Incight demo and the mayor's visit. Ray can speak to most of these. Anything else that would require my presence can be tabled until next meeting. Thanks. PS Ray—I sent an email to Ryan re: the flat piece of grassy land, immediately south of the skateboard park at PDCC. This would be a possible site for 8 PB courts. Ryan said that there doesn't appear to be any future plans to develop this land, and that it could hold 8 PB courts. The cost of course would be around $200K or more. I told Ryan I understand that. As you know, we are working on developing a fund raising committee to explore fund raising activities. ••J .• • • f : ' - :;' i.; . r. : •• .•..,•J,',,,•••' ,•';-:,,••3.,..•..L.• ;.--••• •:' •,:. , • .

This annual report is submitted for the period of July 1,2013 to June 30, 2014 to coincide with the City's current fiscal year,and in advance of payment by the City for said period.A courtesy statement/invoice is concurrently submitted to the City for$40,000.00 per stipulations II.A. of the Contract. H.A.The City of Palm Desert shall provide funding not to exceed $40,000 annually to the BLM for the following: (1)Law Enforcement Ranger patrols of roads,trails,trailheads,facilities,and lands within the National Monument—patrols conducted with funds contributed by the City will occur on lands within the City; and(2)management of the trails within the National Monument where located on City lands.Of these funds,no less than$30,000 is to be allocated by the BLM for law enforcement patrols,and no more than$10,000 is to be allocated for trail management. Should the BLM incur costs less than$10,000 for trail management,the difference between $10,000 and the costs of trail management will be allocated for law enforcement patrols on City lands within the National Monument Report During the reporting period,the BLM expended more than $10,000 to repair trails in the City of Palm Desert, principally using volunteers and a crew of military veterans(see below).As a result, none of the $10,000 allocated for trail management was used for law enforcement patrols; law enforcement patrols, therefore,were funded by the City at the$30,000 level. Law enforcement: Patrol days/hours and citations/arrests recorded within the City of Palm Desert by BLM Law Enforcement Ranger Wesley Miller 2013 2014 2013' Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Total days 5 2 8 11 4 4 11 8 14 15 5 5 92 hrs 17 11 28 52 19 21 46 29 48 65 18 18 372 con 13 9 26 32 18 9 42 35 54 96 -- -- 334 warn 0 1 2 3 0 0 0 0 0 1 -- -- 7 cite 0 0 1 3 2 1 9 3 3 1 -- -- 27 arst 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -- -- 0 days=days of patrol:hrs=hours of patrol;con=contacts;warn=written warnings:cite=citations;arst=arrests Approximately 120 hours of additional law enforcement patrols on trails and at trailheads were conducted by Rangers Hambright, Titus, and Kotlowski when Ranger Miller was on leave or in training, or to provide additional coverage. TOTAL PATROL HOURS: 492 ' In lieu of actual figures for May and June 2014,which are not available at this time,figures for patrol days and hours reflect a per-month average from records for the"summer"period of July through September 2013. Page 1 of 3 Law enforcement ranger support costs,prorated for patrol hours identified above, which comprise 28 percent of a standard work-year as determined for administrative purposes (1,760 hours): $962 radio 495 vehicle 83 uniform $1,540 COST TO CITY PER PATROL HOUR $60.98 (includes ranger support costs) ***** Trail management: Significant rainfall events occurred in August 2013,resulting in considerable damage to trails in the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains, including trails on City of Palm Desert lands.Volunteers, BLM staff, and a crew of military veterans spent a combined total of about 1,400 man-hours in trail repair and data gathering efforts on City trails.2 Hours Worked Hopalong Art Smith Tr.

In addition,the BLM constructed a new trailhead parking lot for the Randall Henderson Trail,completed in May 2014. Total cost was approximately$300,000($50,000 for planning, engineering, and design; $250,000 for construction). The new parking lot enhances safety—when the existing parking lot was full, visitors would park across the highway from the Monument visitor center and walk across busy Highway 2 Data gathering to ascertain levels of trail use is a requirement of the trails management plan element of the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan,for which the City of Palm Desert is a signatory.The gathering of these data was conducted by BLM staff and volunteers;hours spent on City lands are included in the figures. Hours reported for the crew of military veterans are for trail repair activities only. Page 2 of 3 74—the new parking lot can accommodate much of the overflow parking. It will not be open for use until fall 2014,thereby giving the asphalt ample time to set up during the summer when low visitation typically occurs. COST TO CITY PER HOUR FOR TRAIL REPAIR AND DATA GATHERING $7.13 Page 3 of 3 Park Spotlight: Palma Village Neighborhood Park Arbor Day Celebration The 2014 Arbor Day celebration was held on April 11 at Palma Village Park. This year, Girl Scout Troop #1176 helped plant two Tipuana tipu trees and one Acacia pendula tree. The ceremony began with Landscape Manager Spencer Knight introducing Troop Leaders Jayme Fakehany and Sarah Kraft, as well as Mayor Pro-Tern Susan Marie Weber, who gave an interesting presentation to the Girl Scouts and the other event attendees. Approximately 10 girls assisted with the tree planting. The girls had previously made Arbor Day and tree-themed posters that were proudly displayed as part of the event. 67 11. _ �; -- ^ vier, Ni-,_ f .� 1 i r i R,,$) Pof+er 4 F III **0.
