Ord 963 Rescinding Wrist Guards Skakeborders PD Skate Park
MEMORANDUM TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: JEFF WINKLEPLECK PARKS & RECREATION PLANNING MANAGER DATE: AUGUST 24, 2000 SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION TO AMEND ORDINANCE NO. 930 RESCINDING THE REQUIREMENT FOR WRIST GUARDS AT THE PALM DESERT SKATE PARK. RECOMMENDATION: By minute motion, that the City Council waive further reading and pass to second reading Ordinance No.963amending Ordinance No. 930 Sections 8.85.030 and 8.85.060 removing the requirement for wrist guards. 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. The skaters have indicated that many tricks, especially grabs, can no longer be performed because of the wrist guards limiting mobility. Effectively limiting the types of tricks by requiring wrist guards has made the park less fun. 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. 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. 3. The City's insurance carrier does not include wrist guards as one of its requirements The sections of Ordinance 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 skaters subject to City Attorney concurrence. The Public Safety Committee reviewed the matter at its July 19,2000 meeting and unanimously recommended to the City Council that the ordinance be amended removing the wrist guard requirement for skaters. Councilman Spiegel recently circulated information that was obtained at the latest League of California Cities regarding skate park As indicated, all of the cities reporting require helmets, elbow pads and knee pads, but none require wrist guards. The cities included Alameda, Mountain View, Santa Clara, Pleasanton, San Mateo, San Ramon, Antioch, Dublin and Fremont. The City Council also expressed some concern on proceeding with the construction of the beginners skate park based on observations of the skate park usage. Coachella Valley Recreation and Park District staff has been conducting peak attendance counts in the morning, afternoon and evenings since the beginning of June. According to the data provided, the numbers were highest in the evenings with peak numbers ranging from 39 to 110 skaters and an average of approximately 66 skaters. The morning and afternoon numbers were similar with average peaks of 8 and 10 respectively. The numbers of skaters in any one evening totals approximately 100 per the CVRPD staff. 2 As can be seen, the numbers indicate that the skate park is still the most used park facility in the city on a daily basis but the decrease in older skaters still needs to be addressed. These numbers can be used for comparison purposes should the wrist guard requirement be rescinded and the City Council wish to delay going out to bid for the construction of the beginning skate park to see if attendance improves. Staff recommends that the City proceed with the bidding process for the beginning skate park because a less advanced learning area is still needed and the restroom facility which is part of the addition is also needed. A delay in sending the project out for bid to see if usage increases will, most likely, result in construction not beginning until early 2001. If necessary, the City Council has the option to delay awarding the construction contract. A copy of the amended ordinance has been attached for the City Council's review and is available should the Council wish to proceed with an action on the matter.

Chairman Tan stated that Mr. Kerns indicates their costs were $4,700, and CVRPD chars-d $1,700, to which Mr. Martin r-:.onded by clarifying that the .o sup was only arged $900. Chai an Tanner commented that .

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 parkinglots, 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 t MCA, not le ons for individual private fi ncial gain. Commissi er Bats noted that the cou► are first come, first serv-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 no issue. V. CONTINUED BUSINESS None. VI. UPDATES A.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council From: Councilmember Robert Spiegel Subject: City Skateboard Park Date: August 2, 2000 I have attached information distributed at last week's League of California Cities meeting in Monterey concerning skateboard parks. You will note that all of the cities reporting require helmets, elbow pads, and knee pads be worn when using the skateboard park. These cities include Alameda, Mountain View, Santa Clara, Pleasanton, San Mateo, San Ramon,Antioch, Dublin, and Fremont. They do not require wrist guards. I have been told that the wrist guard requirement has had a negative effect on the usage of our skate park. I suggest we reconsider this requirement if that is the case. .0°- ROBERT A.

DEAR PARENTS OF SKATEBOARD AND ROLLER BLADE ENTHUSIASTS: The Alameda Recreation and Park Department (ARPD) is excited about opening Alameda's hottest new attraction providing first rate recreational opportunities for non-traditional sports enthusiasts, the Alameda Point Skate Park. This is the first community built skate park ever constructed. More than 500 volunteers and thousands of dollars and materials and supplies were donated to help build this state-of-the-art 15,000 square foot skate park. This has been a wonderful experience for the people who participated in building the facility and for our community. As with all new facilities and parks, there are some growing pains that interested park patrons need to help the City address. Details of our concerns and how you can help are as follows: BICYCLES: Bikes are not allowed. The mix of bicycles and skaters is extremely dangerous. An enormous amount of research went into this decision. If you would like further explanation,please contact the Recreation Office,748-4565. Please do not ride your bike at the skate park. PARENTS- PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW YOUR CHILDREN TO RIDE THEIR BIKES AT THE SKATE PARK! - SAFETY GEAR: Helmets,elbow pads,and knee pads are required and must be worn..We also suggest wrist guards as wrist injuries are the number one reported injury in skating. HELMETS HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO REDUCE THE RISK OF HEAD INJURY BY AS MUCH AS 85% AND THE RISK OF BRAIN INJURY BY AS MUCH AS 88% (as reported by National Safe Kids Campaign). Of those who reported wearing a helmet,98%said they wore it for safety reasons, 70%because a parent or spouse insisted on it,and 44%because the law required it. PARENTS-PLEASE INSIST THAT YOUR CHILDREN WEAR THEIR HELMETS! SUPERVISION: It is strongly suggested that children under the age of 14 never be left unsupervised at the skate park. The park is open to the public and extremely busy. • . More than 75 enthusiasts have been seen using the park at the same time. The ages of users range from 5 to 45 years of age(and possibly older). It is important that parents supervise their children to ensure that they are as safe as possible by insisting they wear their safety gear,to make sure they are not interacting with potentially harmful strangers,and that they do not wander away from the park where they may encounter some type of trouble. VANDALISM& GRAFFITI: Skate Park users have been respectful of the park. However,vandalism and graffiti has become a major problem in the areas surrounding the skate park. Skating is not allowed outside or inside hallways of any building at Alameda Point. It is trespassing to do so. Trespassing skaters are ruining several buildings that are considered to have historical significance to Alameda and are important buildings for our community to preserve. PLEASE DO NOT SKATE ANYWHERE AT ALAMEDA POINT OUTSIDE OF THE SKATE PARK (with the exception of coming and going to the park). - LITTER: Please help us keep the park clean for safety,as well as appearances. If everyone cleans up after themselves and assists in cleaning up for those less thoughtful,our park will continue to be an attractive and enjoyable skate park for everyone. PLEASE -WE NEED YOUR HELP IN MINIMIZING THESE PROBLEMS! If the skate park users and their parents do not follow these guidelines voluntarily, the City may feel enforcement is required_by the City.
