STAFF REPORT
To: Parks and Recreation Commission
From: Jay Niemczak, Parks Facilities Manager
Date: October 21, 2008
Subject: Civic Center Tennis Parking
During baseball and football seasons in the Civic Center Park, the parking areas near
the ball fields get quite congested. The Public Works Department suggested that the dirt
area west of the tennis courts be converted to parking stalls.
In early October, Parks Staff removed and relocated a 6" water main that ran through
the area. Following the main line relocation, the Public Works Department began the
demolition of the existing curb and gutter. The week of October 6, 2008, crews poured
and finished the concrete. The concrete should be sufficiently cured for use and striped
by the week of October 20.
Attached are pictures of the construction project.

To: Parks and Recreation Commission
From: Jay Niemczak, Parks Facilities Manager
Date: October 21, 2008
Subject: Civic Center Tennis Shade Structures
One of the frequent requests made by users of the tennis courts at the Civic Center
Park was the addition of shade structures. In early spring of this year, Parks Staff
secured bids for the project. The bid was awarded to Shade Structures Inc., and the
contractor submitted plans to the Department of Building and Safety. Plans were
approved, and installation was scheduled for early summer.
During the installation, the contractor found that the tennis court light footings would not
allow installation of the structures per the plans. The contractor then submitted revised
plans to the Building and Safety Department. The new plans were approved, and the
new shade structures were ordered by the Contractor.
The new shade structures for the tennis courts at the Civic Center Park were installed
the week of October 6, 2008. Benches will be installed beneath the structures. The
portable shaded benches currently at Civic Center will be moved to the Cahuilla Hills
tennis courts.
Attached are pictures of the construction and the completed project.
