Ortega, Acting City Manager From: Sheila R. Gilligan, Acting Assistant City Manager Subject: Consideration of Park&Recreation Commission Recommendation to Eliminate the Requirement of Wrist Guards at the Skate Park. Date: July 13, 2000 /44,51 The Public Safety Commission had considerable involvement in the creation of the ordinance establishing the rules and regulations for the Skate Park which the City Council adopted in December. Because of this involvement, I would like to recommend that the Council continue consideration of this ordinance amendment to its meeting in August so that I can agendize it for Public Safety Commission review at its July meeting. I will invite Jeff Winklepleck and representatives from the Park Commission to participate in this meeting as well. CITY COUNCIL/ACTION: DENIED APPROVED W-6 RECEIVED OTHER SHEILA R.

I. RECOMMENDATION: A. By minute motion, that the City Council direct staff to draft an ordinance amending Ordinance No. 930 Sections 8.85.030 and 8.85.060 making wrist guards optional for skateboarders II. DISCUSSION: Since the opening of the skate park in September of 1999, the park has seen a great deal of use and provided a tremendous amount of enjoyment for skaters from Palm Desert and surrounding communities. However, there has been a steady decline in attendance since Ordinance 930 was adopted in December which included the requirement that all skaters (inline and skateboard) wear wrist guards. Specifically, the number of teenage skaters has declined sharply. Staff has discussed the situation with several of the people who monitor the park for Coachella Valley Recreation and Park District and they concurred that the number of older skaters (13 and over) has dropped and the park is used primarily by the younger skaters (12 and under). Staff has also spoken to Dallas Williams from the YMCA and Rick Vincent from Sports Fever who confirmed that many skaters have decided to return to the streets and business frontages to skate rather than wear wrist guards at the park. Mrs. Colleen Commito has gathered a petition consisting of businesses and skaters requesting that the City change the ordinance to include wrist guards as optional for skateboarders as opposed to mandatory. The concerns that have been expressed regarding the need for the wrist guard requirement include the following: 1 1. The State law does not require wrist guards. 2. No empirical data has been presented showing the effectiveness of wrist guards. 3. The additional requirement for wrist guards has significantly lessened the effectiveness and benefits of the skate park. The number of skaters at the park are down and many skaters have returned to the streets. 4. The City's insurance carrier does not include wrist guards as one of its requirements The sections of Ordinace 930 dealing with wrist guards are as follows: Section 8.85.030 (D) D. The City has determined that wrist guards afford a significant measure of injury prevention. Therefore, in addition to the safety requirement required by the State, the City hereby requires any person using the skating area to wear wrist guards. Section 8.85.060 (A) A. Any person using the skating area must wear a helmet, elbow pads, knee pads and wrist guards. The Parks and Recreation Commission discussed this matter at its February 23, 2000 meeting and recommended to the City Council that Ordinance be changed and the wrist guard requirement be made optional for skateboarders subject to City Attorney concurrence.

He noted that the group can . .ply for a fee waiver to reduce their tsts, and added that they were only charg-. $900. Chairman Tan stated that Mr. Kerns indicate- their costs were $4,700, and CVRPD chars-d $1,700, to which Mr. Martin r-:•onded by clarifying that the .' sup was only arged $900. Chai an Tanner commented that .

Com ' sioner Guyer suggested that a ture agenda include a discussion/update on . BMX park. Commissioner Barnes suggest-d that the Commission's bylaws be updated. IV. NEW BUSINESS A. SKATE PARK Mr. Winklepleck reported that wrist injuries are more common among in-line skaters than skate boarders, but wrist guards inhibit skate boarders from performing some moves. Colleen Commito stated that her 15-year-old son is rated 2nd in California skate boarders, and it seems that the wrist guard requirement has turned many boarders off to the park; so now many of them are back on the streets and parking lots, especially the older boys. She is currently working on getting signatures for a petition requesting the City to eliminate the wrist guard requirement for skate boarders. She has visited many other skate parks and knows of no others which require wrist guards. She would be 2 PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION FEBRUARY 23, 2000 MINUTES interested in knowing statistics regarding injuries. Mr. Winklepleck noted that there are two other skate parks in California which require wrist guards. Mr. Martin felt that requiring wrist guards of on-line skaters, but not skate boarders would present enforcement problems for the skate park staff. Mr. Williams reported that attendance at the park has dropped tremendously. Commissioner Babcock felt that skate boarders should be allowed to skate without wrist guards. Commissioner Bats stated that the park was built for the kids, and if attendance has dropped because of this requirement, the requirement should be eliminated. Mr. Winklepleck agreed that it would be preferable not to lose the serious skate boarders. Chairman Tanner commented that the drop in attendance may or may not be because of the wrist guard requirement, and it could well be that many of the skaters have mastered the course, while others have found it too difficult. Commissioner Munson felt that it should be possible to enforce the wrist guard requirement for in-line skaters while allowing skate boarders to use the park without wearing wrist guards. Commissioner Scheurer indicated that he has had conversations regarding this issue with some of the users, and he feels the reason attendance has dropped is because of the wrist guard requirement. Councilmember Spiegel commented that part of the reason for the drop in attendance could be the $5 charge for an identification card, and suggested that the Commission make a recommendation to the City Council. Commissioner Barnes noted that paramedics prefer maintaining the wrist guard requirement. Commissioner Bats noted that skate boarding and in-line skating are two different sports, and it should be possible to require wrist guards for in-line 3 PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION FEBRUARY 23, 2000 MINUTES skating, but not skate boarding, with which Commissioner Munson concurred. Mr. Martin felt that it would be difficult to enforce for one group, but not the other. Mr. Winklepleck noted that the JPIA conference established guidelines requiring helmets, knee pads and elbow pads, but the requirements did not include wrist guards. He added that staff is concerned about losing the users for whom the park was built. Action: Commissioner Scheurer moved, seconded by Commissioner Bats, to recommend to the City Council amending the existing ordinance, as long as the City Attorney concurs, such that wrist guards are optional for skate boarders. The motion carried unanimously. B. PUBLI ENNIS COURTS Mr. \ nklepleck reported tha ere has been a problem h one or two of t tennis c s being r- erved by a professional - nis instructor, and hese rts are for . .lic use and/or use for tea ing through CVRPD or MCA, not le :ons for individual private fi :ncial gain. Commissi. er Bats noted that the cow are first come, first se -d, so it can't be ontrolled. Mr. Martin clarif' d that it can be controlle.. Mr. Winklepleck noted that if t - problem continues, enf.' ement measures can be taken, but if the pro. em ceases, then there i- no issue. V. CONTINUED BUSINESS None. VI. UPDATES A.
