CONSENT CALENDAR A. MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2012 Approve as presented Upon a motion by Commissioner Kelly, second by Commissioner Thomas, and 6-0 vote of the Commission Board, the Consent Calendar was approved as presented. V. NEW BUSINESS A. USER FEES FOR YOUTH SPORTS LEAGUES Mr. Ryan Stendell reported that sports leagues user group fees have been a large topic of debate within local jurisdictions. The City of Indio charges a small users fee and the City of La Quinta recently adopted a policy that allows them to collect a non-resident user fee per player within each league to offset expenses. City staff recently discussed this topic with the City of La Quinta, City of Indio and Desert Recreation District for youth sports, which includes baseball/softball, soccer, and football. Staff believes that parents/leagues that cannot afford and/or wish to pay the additional fees may decide to bring their children to Palm Desert. The leagues keep no record of resident and non-resident participation, but the DRD roughly estimates that half of the Palm Desert field usage is from non-residents. In effort to identify the direct maintenance costs of our sports facilities, Mr. Spencer Knight created separate line items in the maintenance contracts for FY11/12. Therefore, the fixed costs for running these facilities can be easily estimated. However, staff is still accumulating and tracking the indirect costs. Indirect costs include City staff time, assisting sports leagues with minor repairs and/or scheduling support by the DRD. Currently, the sports leagues pay for none of the everyday repairs. The City pays for many of normal repairs (i.e. snack bar's ice machine), but does not reap from the benefit of the revenue taken in during operations. With recent staff reductions, staff is attempting to make the leagues more self-sufficient by giving them the responsibility of minor maintenance occurrences. This will help our bottom line and provide a certain level of responsibility to each league. 2 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION APPROVED MINUTES APRIL 3, 2012 Commissioner Kelly requested for additional information on what the expected cost will be for parent, if user fees are implemented. She stated that the leagues help children stay off the streets; therefore, they are very important to our community. Commissioner Rodriguez added that the City built the parks; therefore, the City has the responsibility to support them. He expressed concern on the cost for families with multiple children and cautioned staff to tread lightly since the sports fields are the heart and soul of the community. He noted that most of the people involved with the leagues are volunteers and turning volunteers into professional budget monitors is usually not a good idea. He suggested making it a contribution rather than a mandatory fee. Mr. Stendell stated that each league offers sponsorship for families that cannot afford to pay on an as needed basis and the leagues do understand why user fees are being considered. Rob Ballew agreed that implementing a fair user group fees is the right approach, especially with today's economy. He recommended doing more research and starting by staggering the fees to make them reasonable. Mr. Knight noted that the sports leagues have different expectations and usage of the facilities. He added that the facilities are heavily used and the concession stands are very expensive to maintain. Commissioner Housken requested any cost data available, but staff responded that this will require additional staff time; therefore, the Commission concurred that it will be more effective to provide the data at the end of FY 2012-13. The Commission suggested that staff schedule a special meeting with the sports leagues to see if an agreement can be reached and staff agreed. In addition, staff will continue to monitor actual costs, gather data and communicate to the Commission in time for FY 2013-14 budget preparations. VI. CONTINUED BUSINESS A. CAHUILLA HILLS PARK PICKLEBALL COURTS Commissioner Thomas presented an exhibit of how the Cahuilla Hills Park tennis court can be painted for pickleball usage when tennis is not being played. He stated that he understood that it might not be practical, but he was asked by the pickleball players to present it. Commissioner Rodriguez expressed his concerns with allowing this, since pickleball players can arrive early and tie up the tennis court. He reminded the Commission that the original intent was to have a tennis court available at all times at the Cahuilla Hills Park. 3 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION APPROVED MINUTES APRIL 3, 2012 Commissioner Thomas stated that the sport of pickleball is growing, so ideas to accommodate its growth are being presented. Due to the socialization factor of the sport, he would like the Commission to consider a pickleball complex that accommodates at least eight courts. He noted that during the International Sports Festival there were 210 pickleball participants; last year there were 173. He added that although Freedom Park was considered for additional pickleball courts, he believes more tennis players play there than in Cahuilla Hills Park. In addition, the courts have four California corners, which make it difficult for pickleball play. Hovley Park is no longer considered since it is too close to residents and noise could become an issue. Commissioner Rodriguez noted that it could be less expensive to square off the Freedom Park tennis court corners than building a new pickleball complex. He also asked if data of Freedom Park tennis play can be gathered before continuing with the topic. Following a brief discussion, the Commission concurred that there are 16 pickleball courts available in the Coachella Valley; therefore, the previous direction of continuing to gather pickleball play data and looking for a new location to create a future larger pickleball complex should remain in place. On a separate note, the Commission was informed that the Cahuilla Hills Park restroom is under its 90-day manufacturing period. VII. OLD BUSINESS NONE VIII. PRESENTATIONS AND UPDATES A. DOG PARK USERS GROUP MEETING Mr. Stendell reported that the Dog Park Users Group Meeting was very successful. The attendees submitted a list of the additional amenities they would like to see added in the parks and stated that they are willing to raise the money for them. On top of the list was a misting system; however, staff's concern is with the maintenance a misting system requires. Staff also reported that the turf fertilization process has started, the irrigation system at Civic Center needs to be fixed, and they are considering closing the dog parks on Wednesdays for maintenance. Mr. Jim Foote of the Bureau of Land Management presented a number of articles regarding allowing dogs on the trails. He stated that the number one request is to allow dogs access to the Cross on the end of 4 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION APPROVED MINUTES APRIL 3, 2012 the Hop-A-long Cassidy Trail. Consequently, there are plans to revise the trail plan and allow dogs to reach the cross; however, they will still be required to be on a leash. Since dogs without on a leash is another large topic, he presented a number of reference materials regarding the importance of having dogs on leash and restated his position against allowing dogs without a leash on the trails. He added that the City of Palm Desert is the only City that has a line item in their Municipal Code with the multiple species plan. Mr. Foote stated that a service dog has to be trained for a specific disability in order to justify them in all the trails. B. PALM DESERT YOUTH SPORTS ASSOCIATION LEAGUE Mr. Stendell reported that the opening ceremonies for the Youth Sports League were a great success, with Mayor Spiegel speaking and the Palm Desert High School Band performing. It is one of the busiest events that are held in the park with the City contributing $3,000 to the event. C. PALM DESERT AQUATIC CENTER Mrs. Karen Creasey reported the Aquatic Center's punch card sales and visitor numbers are continuing to rise. The booth at the Date Festival and marketing at the Rancho Las Palmas Health Fair was a great exposure and success. In addition, two marketing literature pieces have been produced: a two-sided rack card and a college training camp brochure. The Piranhas have signed a rental contract that begins in March and COD has begun the spring semester. On February 28 and 29, 2012, every lane in both pools was rented with assorted programs. Water aerobics is well under way and the program is growing. Staff will be hosting a tour of the center for physical therapists in April in hopes of holding therapy sessions. There are currently five aerobic classes per week, but will increase to six in March. Underwater Easter Egg Hunt is Sunday, April 8, 2012. The YMCA is currently pursuing Grant LA84, which offers $10,000 for swimming lessons. Also, the Aquatic Center is now a Red Cross Authorized Provider, which is an important step to offering safety classes at the facility. Mr. Stendell reported that bleachers will be purchased and the budget is still ahead of projection; sitting at a 47% recovery. 5 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION APPROVED MINUTES APRIL 3, 2012 Mrs. Creasey presented the following end of the month report: Daily Admission Numbers Transaction Type Description February 1-29 100— Resident: 13-59 328 101 — Non Resident: 13-59 430 102— Resident: Youth/Senior 222 103— Non Resident: Youth/Senior 186 104— Resident: 2-5 18 105— Non Resident: 2-5 38 Total Admissions 1222 Income $2,369 Rental $12,183 Admission $3,114 Program $1,049 Food $623 Beverage $213 Retail $19,551 Total Income D.

Easter Egg Hunt and Healthy Kids Day will be held Saturday, April 8, 2012. E. DESERT RECREATION DISTRICT Mr. Jeff Ronci stated that walk-in and registered reports will be combined. Membership usage is approximately 4,000; Spring Camp is in process with 36 children; Surf Camp is underway for the summer; and the ROC (Recreational Outdoor Camp) was a great success. The Facebook page for the Desert Recreation District has been launched and the Library Series has concluded for this season. In addition, their lifeguard training will be done at the Aquatic Center. This year's International Sports Festival was one of the most successful with 1153 participants. The ISF dinner had about 103 attendees. Councilman Spiegel requested getting the guest speaker in advance so the name can be included in the catalog. Commissioner Guyer asked if the event can be scheduled on a non-holiday weekend, so visitors can receive better hotel rates and extend their stay. 6 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION APPROVED MINUTES APRIL 3, 2012 Mr. Jeff Ronci presented the monthly facilities and programming reports as follows: Program / Activity Residents Non- Total Residents Participation Salsa Aerobics 3 3 6 Golf Strength &Conditioning 1 0 1 Tiny Tots 12 19 31 Yoga 2 2 4 Afterschool Clubhouse 34 33 67 Progressive Line Dancing 2 1 3 Zumba 1 0 1 Princess Party 14 6 20 Tae Kwon Do 11 9 20 Dance, Play& Pretend 1 0 1 Cycling 201 1 0 1 Beginning Ballet 7 2 9 Beginning Guitar 1 1 2 Belly Dancing 3 4 7 Beginning Belly Dancing 4 1 5 Membership/ Facilities Reservations Amphitheater 5 Pavilion 1 8 Pavilion 2 4 Pavilion 3 4 Hovley Soccer Fields 86 Freedom Park Soccer Field 20 Freedom Park Softball Field 81 Olsen Soccer Field 22 Civic Center Softball Field 108 VIII.

ADJOURNMENT With no further business or discussion, and with the Commissioners' unanimous concurrence, the meeting was adjourned at 10:05 a.m. 7 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION APPROVED MINUTES APRIL 3, 2012 Bertha A. Gonzalez, Recording Secretary ,iceimily tilitilli e i 8 CITY OF PALM DESERT DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION REPORT SUBJECT: MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO PARKS AND PARK RULES / POLICIES AND PROCEDURES SUBMITTED BY: Ryan Stendell, Senior Management Analyst DATE: June 5, 2012 Attached is a copy of the sections of the Palm Desert Municipal Code that pertain to the City's parks as well as the new rules that were previously implemented. Staff has reviewed these sections and found some antiquated rules that had good purpose when implemented, but need to be modified so they can reflect the City's current needs. One good example is Section 11.01.080 (G) Prohibited Conduct: Make or kindle a fire except in a picnic stove, brazier, fire pit or other appropriate device provided or approved for that purpose by the public authorities, which prohibits the use of portable barbeques in the parks. Busy weekends like Easter Sunday lead to long days of attempting to enforce this rule from both the City's Code Enforcement and DRD's Park Patrol. Staff has discussed this particular issue with the Fire Marshal's office and they do not have any safety concerns with allowing the use of portable or camping style barbeques in the park. However, they have suggested not allowing traditional household barbeques. Staff believes that this section of the Municipal Code could be amended to specifically allow the use of portable barbeques in the park. Staff suggests a trial period likely during 2012/2013 winter/spring season prior to making any permanent adjustments. If the Commission concurs, staff will submit the recommendation to the City Council. The above is only one example of modifications that need to be made in order to reflect the current needs and wants of the park users. Staff is providing these materials to the Commission so, as we move forward with our Park Use Inspections, we can be cognizant of the current rules set by the City Council.

We propose that two or three Commissioners visit one of the City's parks once a month and log how it is being utilized. Attached is the proposed schedule for each month. An item will be placed on the agenda to review the past month's inspection. For example, in June, Commissioners Barnard, Ballew and Dawson are scheduled to inspect the Civic Center Park; therefore, an oral report will be provided in July's meeting. Chair Dawson and I agree that this is the best way for the Commissioners to know each park, along with its usage, facilities and needs. Stendell, Ryan From: Jan &Jerry Dawson [jdawson@dc.rr.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2012 3:59 PM To: Stendell, Ryan Cc: Jerry Dawson Ryan, Good meeting today -- thanks for all your good work and diligent efforts. While thinking through our By Laws, it seems to me that we need to put more emphasis on the way we analyze how well we are doing regarding the "activities and facilities" responsibilities we have as a commission. To help fulfill that responsibility, I recommend the following to start the discusson: About three time a year, each commissioner would be assigned a park in which to make a "User Review" of activites and facilities. The Review would analyze how well we are doing in providing the activities and facilities, in that location, that will satisfy our constituent's needs now and in the future. We would, of course, want to emphasis that we are not looking for maintenance issues that would duplicate the work for which the staff and others are already responsible. I recommend that we make the commissioner reports verbal at the meetings and stay away from written reports that become time consuming for you and others. We should assign three or four commissioners to one park for each month. Commissioners would independently conduct their review. With three or four verbal reports regarding a specific park at each monthly commissioin meeting, we will be enhancing the analysis and discussion at the meeting. Using this schedule, each commissioner would review a park about three times each year - not every month. At this pace, we would cover all parks over about a year and a half, or we could limit our reviews to only selected parks and cover each one once a year. This plan would enable each commissioner to BE IN each park, and get to know it, as well as becoming more engaged in the current and future "activities and facilities" offered in each park. Pleae give this some thought. Jerry 1 Park Inspection Assignments 2012 Parks Jan Feb Mar April May June July Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec Ballew 1. Civic Center Park Barnard Dawson 2.

Joe Mann Park Guyer Hall Housken 11.Washington Charter Kelly School Rodriguez Ryan, At our last Park and Recreation Commission meeting you asked the commissioners to pass suggestions on to you regarding potential updates to our By Laws. I have the following ideas for you to consider: ARTICLE IX: Order of Business Section 1,Agenda It may not be important,but we do not seem to follow this agenda for our order of business. I don't have a personal preference, but I recommend we should either change our By Laws or change our normal order of business. Section 3. Roll Call It seems to me to be a good idea to include a statement that, optionally, the Secretary can record the observed attendance. Calling out the names of each commissioner seems needless to me and a bit like elementary school. Section??? Oral Communications Maybe we should add a description of how we conduct oral communications. It could follow the basic script we use at the beginning of each meeting for people to talk about items NOT on the agenda. (give their name, town and limit comments to five minutes, etc.) ARTICLE X: Addressing the Commission Section 1. In Person In addition to limiting remarks to the agenda topic under discussion—I believe we should add that the person is limited to 5 minutes. This follows the opening scripted at the beginning of each meeting, for people to talk about items NOT on the agenda. ARTICLE IX; Duties Section 1. Master Plan I suggest we add definition to the word `maintain' by stating that the Commission shall review the master plan for parks and recreation at least once every five years. Section 4. Commissioner Inspections I suggest that this heading be changed to Commissioner Recommendations. Section 4. (Renamed) Commissioner Recommendations (Replace the current paragraph with something like the following:) Each Commissioner will periodically examine specific Park and Recreation activities and/or facilities to become familiar with how well the current and future needs and desires of the citizens of Palm Desert are being satisfied. The aim of these efforts is for the Commissioner to then recommend to the Park and Recreation Commission, matters pertaining to the creation, planning, acquisition, operation, maintenance, coordination, management and control of all parks and recreation activities and facilities within the City of Palm Desert. (This should give us the latitude to do about anything, such as going with you to 'user group' meetings, or other great ideas that come along.)

The term "legislative body" includes not only the governing body of the local agency (City Council), but also members of a commission, committee, board, or other body of a local agency, whether permanent or temporary, decision-making or advisory. All of you fall under this designation at the City of Palm Desert and are subject to the mandatory training requirement. Additionally, some of you are newly appointed and are now subject to this training as well. We are asking both newly appointed members and those with certificates due to expire to either attend a live session or take the AB 1234 training course online, which is provided by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) at htto://localethics.fppc.ca.gov (see enclosed screen prints). If you decide to take the online course, please provide the signed original printable certificate you receive to my office as proof of your compliance with the training. The City of Cathedral City will be hosting two live training sessions on Monday, May 7, 2012, from 1:30 p.m. — 3:30 p.m., and Tuesday, May 15, 2012. from 5:30 p.m. — 7:30 p.m., which are open to City of Palm Desert Committee/Commission Members at no charge. Please see enclosed flier for directions. If you decide to attend one of the live sessions, please contact my office (760-346-0611, ext. 487) to reserve your seat. After attending one of the sessions, please provide the signed original certificate of compliance to my office for our files. If I can answer any questions or provide any further information,just let me know. Sincerely, RA ELLE D.
