APPROVED MINUTES January 18, 2011
VI. CONTINUED BUSINESS
A. PALM DESERT AQUATIC CENTER OPERATIONS — Draft of
Operating Schedule and Budget (presented in conjunction with the
YMCA)
Mr. Stendell stated that staff is currently working with the YMCA of the
Desert to create a schedule that can be submitted to the City Council.
Mr. Rob Ballew of the YMCA stated that they are in the process of
recruiting a director for the Aquatic Center. It is a national search that
will close on January 28, 2011, and staff has received approximately
15 applications. Mr. Ballew also stated that one of the requirements
for the new director is to have experience in programming in order for
the event rooms to be used to their maximum potential. Following the
City Council's approval of new director, the YMCA will start the search
for staff while researching the interest of the community.
Commissioner Housken commented that it will be interesting to see
what interest the baby boomers will have on using the facility and at
what times. Responding to Commissioner Dash's inquiry, Mr. Stendell
stated that any school can use the facility and staff is meeting regularly
with the College of the Desert in order to identify their needs of the
Aquatic Center. In response to Chairman Guyer's inquiry, Mr. Ballew
stated that there is no overlap on what the YMCA and COD will offer,
since COD offers classes only and the YMCA is more recreational. In
response to Commissioner Barnard's inquiry on office space, he stated
that the offices at the YMCA are almost full; therefore, some of the
rooms at the Aquatic Center will be used as office space. Councilman
Spiegel asked if COD was planning to create a competitive swim team.
Mr. Dean Dowty of COD responded that are planning to create one,
but it will take at least a year for it to go through the process.
On a separate note, Mr. Ballew informed the Commission that the
concession stand will be run by the YMCA and the hours of operation
are still being identified.
B. 5-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN DISCUSSION
Mr. Stendell informed the Commission that between the Park Fund
Reserve and Park Fund account, there is approximately $1.4 million
budgeted. He continued by stating that the skate park project is
currently being analyzed and staff has determined that the fence at
University Park can be done at a fair cost. On the other hand, the
construction of a restroom at Cahuilla Hills is estimated to be very
expensive, since there are no sewer lines in close proximity. Mr.
Stendell stated that staff could downsize the skate park improvements,
3
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
APPROVED MINUTES January 18, 2011
if necessary, but asked for the Commission's thoughts regarding its
construction.
Mr. Stendell stated that he has reviewed the plans of the nearby
church and he believes they are on septic tank. He added that a septic
tank cannot be installed because of the City's ordinance and the idea
of setting portables has been dismissed due to the potential of
vandalism. Commissioner Housken asked if the church would allow
the park visitors to use their restroom facilities. Chair Guyer added
that the City could offer to share the cost to pump their septic tank. Mr.
Stendell responded that he believes it will be best if the pickelball
group approached the church with the request. Mr. Ballew asked if
there was a large need for improvements in the skate park, since he
has not seen many skaters in park. Mr. Stendell responded that the
park is heavily used during the evening hours and they have received
a number of requests for upgrades. Mr. John Wohlmuth noted that the
City Council has approved the feasibility study for the skate park only,
not the actual improvements. Commissioner Hall stated that the
Cahuilla Hills Park is being used regularly and there seems to be a
need for a restroom; therefore, staff should continue to look for
alternatives.
Mr. Stendell stated that the intent of the worksheet is to show how
adding new projects affect other projects and asked the Commission's
acknowledgement of the CIP Plan in order to be able to submit it to the
City Council for approval. Vice Chair Dawson asked if the worksheet
needs to reflect any potential addition of amenities to Aquatic Center.
Mr. Stendell stated that a study could be added to fiscal year 2013-14,
which could determine if there is a need to add amenities. Mr.
Wohlmuth stated that the Commission needs to review the list every
year in order to identify new projects and/or omit unneeded projects.
Commissioner Thomas asked staff to continue researching the
potential installation of restroom at Cahuilla Hills or any alternatives
since there seems to be a public need for it.
No motion; the Commission formally acknowledged the CIP plan.

Mr. Ballew stated that the YMCA information will be provided to the
Commission prior to the meeting. He then reported that the Easter
Egg Hunt will be held the Saturday before Easter. Flag football is
going well, but Christmas Day Camp had low attendance. The Y-Be-
Fit program has been added to all their facilities.
Commissioner Dawson asked if cost could be a reason why the
Government Program has low attendance. Mr. Ballew responded that
the YMCA is researching if cost is an issue.
B. DESERT RECREATION DISTRICT
Mr. Jeff Ronci stated that 18 participants have completed the Cycling
101 Class and the second session is expected to sell out. The
Community Center has been closed for about a week for
improvements and preventative maintenance. The DRD distributed
20-25 bags of toys to needy families during the holidays. The
International Sports Festival has been advertized in the PD Style
Magazine and Brightside and flyer detailing the event has been
distributed. Mr. Ronci extended the invitation to the Commission to
attend the International Sports Festival Opening dinner on February 4,
2011, which will be held in Community Center. Councilman Spiegel
asked why the dinner was not held at the Country Club as in previous
years and Mr. Ronci responded that the DRD is trying to take a
different approach by making the dinner less formal. At the event
vendors will be displaying their equipment and dinner will be catered
by the Soup Plantation. Commissioner Thomas complimented the
DRD on promoting the soap box derby. Councilman Spiegel asked if
the first derby had 22 participants, how will the advertisement help
improve the number of participants. Mr. Ronci stated that they are
looking at ways to reduce cost, but have a more effective
advertisement that hopefully lead to an increase of participants. Mr.
Stendell stated that a full report will be given when the derby closes.
Mr. Jeff Ronci presented the monthly facilities and programming

VIII. STAFF AND COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
- FEBRUARY MEETING
Mr. Stendell will be in the Park and Recreation Liability Training the first
week of February; therefore, staff asked the Commission's preference to
cancel or postpone the meeting of February 1, 2011. Since there are no
pending items that require Commission's immediate address, the
Commission recommended cancelling the meeting. The next meeting is
scheduled for March 1, 2011.
- PARK INSPECTION FOLLOW-UPS
Since the new assignments for 2011 were not distributed, there were no
inspection reports to address; therefore, Mr. Stendell reviewed one
pending item on the action log. The Senior Softball League will be held
accordingly with the help of the Desert Recreation District. The DRD fees
were waived and the league will be doing their own preparation. If they
cannot do their own maintenance, the DRD will sponsor the league.
- The damage at Palma Village Park has been repaired by City staff.
Because vandalism on the benches seems to be a recurring issue, Mr.
Spencer Knight is replacing the benches with vandal proof material.
- Councilman Spiegel informed the Commission that the City Council held a
special meeting to address Governor Brown's proposal to close the
redevelopment agencies. He stated that this will especially affect the
available funds for a new park at the north end of the City.

PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
APPROVED MINUTES January 18, 2011
- The Petanque Club has been notified that the Petanque Court will be in
construction for one to two weeks.
- Vice Chair Dawson requested an update on Terry Schukart, which there
was none, and asked for a round of applause for Commissioner Dash's
service as Chairman.
- Commissioner Thomas informed the Commission that the opening of the
new aquatic center in Riverside has been postponed until May. He
mentioned that the information is listed on their webpage, including the
fees, and asked the YMCA to consider doing the same for the Palm
Desert Aquatic Center.
- Mr. Knight stated that incase the Commission hears of any complaints the
Civic Center Dog Park is overused and staff is having a difficult time
keeping the turf green. Commissioner Housken suggested replacing
some of the turf with boulders, as she saw at a park in New York and
considers it a great idea.
- Mr. Knight has met with DRD staff to start planning for this year's
overseeding. Due to the number of events held in the park, staff realized
that scheduling needs to start earlier in the year.
- Chairman Guyer asked if there were any potential candidates that have
applied to serve on the Commission. Mr. Wohlmuth stated that there are
few applications that will be presented to the City Council at the meeting of
February 10 and 24, 2011, for consideration. The new commissioner(s)
should be appointed by the meeting of March.
- Commissioner Dash thanked the Commission for allowing him to serve as
Chairman and Mr. Stendell for his assistance and guidance during the
past year.
- Mr. Wohlmuth stated that at the City Council retreat, the City Council took
a look at their relationship with staff. They asked what the current
condition of the parks is in comparison to last year. Mr. Knight did a
presentation and staff was complemented on the work they've done.
IX. ADJOURNMENT
With no further business or discussion, and with the Commissioners'
unanimous concurrence, the meeting was adjourned at 9:45 a.m.

Attached please find a letter from the Palm Desert Youth Sports Association (PDYSA)

John,
On behalf of Palm Desert Youth Sports Association and all of its two thousand children,
parents, coaches and extended family I would like the city to consider honoring the
memory of Mike Gates. Mike lost his battle with cancer(please see attached link for
news article)recently and the league would like to rename one of the fields at Civic Park
"Mike Gates Field". Mike was a valued member of the baseball community and served
the league as a coach, mentor and board member. He also was a coach and teacher at La
Quinta High School. More importantly, he was the quintessential role model for children
of all ages. He always supported the league in any way he could and always did it in a
caring way.
The board and I are willing to do whatever it takes to make this dedication happen.
Signatures can be obtained and I would be happy to appear in front of the city council to
make this request formally. I would like to be able to make this presentation at opening
day on March 12th. The league is planning on inviting the Gates family(Mike's wife and
three children)to opening day to honor Mike and unveil the field.
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your consideration.
Best,
Richard Weintraub

To Whom it may concern,
Not often do we have the opportunity in the public arena to recognize a person who has greatly
and genuinely impacted the youth of our community. This week we have just that opportunity.
Mike Gates, father of three, loving husband, and long time resident of Palm Desert, volunteered to
help mold Palm Desert youth for ten years through sports and teaching. His coaching through the
Palm Desert YMCA sports programs and Palm Desert Sports Association touched literally
thousands of kids and many more families. His coaching included youth from kindergarten
through high school that spanned the gamete of sports. He tirelessly invested in the character of
kids on and off the field. Each season of coaching he found a waiting list of parents lobbying to
get their kids on his team. And there wasn't a coach that didn't know Mike by name as we
laughed on the sideline.Mike was known as the player's coach and the coach's friend.
This past year Mike was diagnosed with stage four cancer. It was a testimony to his character and
his larger than life and most beloved personality that the entire community came around him and
his family. As a high school teacher, colleagues throughout Desert Sands School District donated
him their sick days to encourage and support Mike and his family in his fight. Sadly Mike's battle
ended this past week.
On Monday, January 17, our community will gather at the Southwest Community Church to
celebrate the life of Mike and his impact on so many people. It is anticipated that more than
1,000 people will fill the church to give thanks, share stories, and memorialize the gift Mike was
to each of us and our community.
On behalf of the our community, his family, and the PDYSA Little League board on which
he tirelessly served, we would like to officially name one of the baseball fields at the Palm
Desert Civic Center baseball park the "Mike Gates Memorial Field" to be dedicated at his
memorial service this coming Monday, January 17 and at the March 12, 2011 Open Day
Ceremonies on behalf of the City of Palm Desert. It will stand as an encouragement to the
entire community to continue in his steps. This comes as a unanimous recommendation from the
PDYSA Board.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Rev. Christopher Hushaw
Lead Pastor, Cornerstone Covenant Church
and PDYSA Board Member

To: Parks and Recreation Commission
From: Ryan Stendell, Senior Management Analyst
Date: March 1, 2011
Subject: Placement of Hoppy's Creed to the Hopalong Cassidy Trail
At its December 7, 2010, meeting, the Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed this
item as directed by the City Council. The City Council requested that the Parks and
Recreation Commission create a subcommittee to review and make a recommendation
regarding the placement of Hoppy's Creed to the Hopalong Cassidy Trail.
Commissioners Guyer and Dawson agreed to act as the subcommittee on this item.
Staff met with Commissioners Guyer and Dawson in February of 2011 and presented all
of the potential options for adding the Hoppy's Creed to the trail system. Staff's
recommendation was that the most cost effective option to incorporate the Creed is to
revise the kiosk panels that currently exist at the four main trailheads. The kiosk panels
currently provide information regarding Hopalong Cassidy, Randall Henderson and
Herb Jeffries. Staff has revised the image (see attached copy) to show the creed can be
incorporated into the existing kiosk panel.
After reviewing the potential options, Commissioners Guyer and Dawson agreed that
the revision/replacement of the existing panels to include Hoppy's Creed was the
appropriate action.

New "foam" around play structures looks great!
Of the four gates that allow entry into the park, only the south gate on Lantana
was open. The other three (two on Chicory, one on Lantana) were chained
closed. Is there a reason?
Grass looking dark green and lush, but very long and clumpy. How often
mowed? Great place for an egg hunt.

Appears there is a missing park sign (probably the brown one with the rules)
on the tall post near the playground closest to the restrooms.
Although the restrooms are "paper towel free" (air dryers), I still think there
should be trashcans in the restrooms...particularly the womens.
Wow. Dog park was packed. All parking spaces, and street spots were taken.
Is there any area to add parking?

1. Most pavilions have left-over tape all around the roof line on the inside of the pavilion.We need to enforce a
requirement that users clean off the tape after use.Also, it looks like the paint was the wrong type and pulls off
when the tape is removed-- since they will need to be re-painted soon, maybe we can find a better paint?
2. One missing swing at the tot-lot
3. Disc Golf signs are starting too look dirty/water logged. May be time to start discussing more durable
replacements.Also, the sign plastic cover at
#2 is broken.
Over-all Comment
When any park sign that includes a telephone number is replaced,we need to include the area code (760) with
the number such as "To Report a Concern" .
Yours for great parks,
