BRIGHT SIDE ARTICLE Ms. Steele commented that the articles were included in the agenda as informational items. VII. NEW BUSINESS A. DISC GOLF PROPOSAL Discussion and a recommendation to the City Council for a proposed disc golf course at Ironwood Park. Ms. Steele introduced Mr. Nathan Somers who will give a brief presentation on disc golf. Mr. Somers circulated a disc that is used for disc golf. He communicated that he and friends have been using different parks in Palm Desert for disc golf, and that they are requesting from the City of Palm Desert an area of open space where they could install a disc golf course. He explained that the sport is similar to regular golf. Discs are used instead of golf clubs, and the target is steel baskets. Mr. Somers noted that there are lots of young adults interested in the sport. Commissioner Dawson asked Mr. Somers if they have played at other places besides Ironwood. He responded that they have played at the Civic Center and Hovley Soccer Park. 2 W IAgenda ltems12006-Mar 231Parks & Rec 2-1-06 m1n doc PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES FEBRUARY 1, 2006 Commissioner Barnes commented that he was not familiar with disc golf, and asked if there are disc golf videos. Mr. Somers replied that he did not have videos. He noted that pictures were provided for the agenda packets. Ms. Steele stated that Mr. Chad Dean, who could not be present for the Commission meeting, has approached other cities in the valley. She explained that Staff met with Mr. Dean, and visited a couple of potential locations for disc golf in Palm Desert. Ms. Steele commented that she informed Mr. Dean that she would present a disc golf course to the Commission. Commissioner Babcock asked Mr. Somers if he knew if there is a disc golf course at Balboa Park in San Diego. He responded that he does not know about Balboa Park, but does know that there are other courses in San Diego. Commissioner Babcock asked Mr. Somers how much area is needed for a disc golf course. He replied that they are proposing a nine - hole course with a dual tee box and nine metal catchers, but is not sure of the exact acreage that would be needed. Mr. Somers commented that the courses in Orange County are quite large. He noted that the Civic Center is too busy, and that Ironwood has been working out for them fairly well. Commissioner Babcock asked if the area could be isolated from children or people walking through the course. Mr. Somers responded that they have been playing at Ironwood that is not used very much by residents, and that they set the tees away from the playground equipment. He also noted that they do wait for people to walk by before throwing a disc. Commissioner Limont communicated that a major part of the design for Ironwood was the natural habitat that surrounds the park. She expressed concern of having a disc golf course at Ironwood, which she thought is to be kept as a natural area. Chairman Guyer mentioned that he has seen disc golf played at an actual golf course. He asked if there is anyway to incorporate with a golf course. Mr. Somers replied that Mr. Dean did look into using a golf course, but he was not sure which golf course he contacted. He believes that he did look at the golf course by the Palm Desert High School near the wash. Commissioner Schukart stated that the courses he played at in Oregon were very large grassy parks. He has a concern with people waiting for a disc to be thrown, and feels the current venue is small. Mr. Somers responded that they are working with what they could and would rather use the Civic Center, but he indicated that it is too busy. 3 W IAgenda ltems12006-Mar 231Parks & Rec 2-1-06 m1n doc PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES FEBRUARY 1, 2006 Chairman Guyer asked how many people are playing. Mr. Somers responded that currently there are 15-20 people playing, and on normal days about 10-12 play. Vice Chair Munson stated that a disc golf course is a great idea and there is a need for one. Chairman Guyer asked if the tees have to be set in concrete. Mr. Somers replied no. He explained that there are other materials that are used, such as rubber mats. He noted that they would prefer to have something more permanent so they would not have to remove the temporary tees each time they play. Mr. Somers briefly described the course in Orange County, and noted that their tees are graded. Commissioner Babcock asked if they have to pick up the tees after a game, and would they have safety or vandalism issues. Mr. Somers responded the tees could withstand some vandalism since they are made of metal and if the tees were set in concrete, they would not be able to be pulled out. He indicated that if the park is dark, the tees are easy to see. The tees stand approximately five feet tall, but there might be a chance someone might run into one if it is really dark. Commissioner Barnes asked Mr. Somers if they are requesting money. Ms. Steele interjected that Staff gathered the cost information based on nine baskets and eighteen tees. Commissioner Babcock affirmed that the disc golf group is requesting land, and asked if lights would be needed. Mr. Somers responded that it would not be a problem. He indicated that they usually play before the sun goes down. Commissioner Limont suggested looking for a location by Cal State. Councilman Spiegel commented that it would be a while before the parks by Cal State would be built. Commissioner Barnes asked if they have looked at Homme/Adams Park. Mr. Somers responded that they have not, but they are willing to work with any location. Commissioner Schukart asked if the tee signs would be set in concrete and would they be made out of wood. Ms. Steele directed the Commission to page 11 of the agenda to see a sample of the sign. Mr. Somers commented that the tee sign is ideal, but that an arrow painted on the ground would work. 4 W IAgenda ltems12006-Mar 231Parks & Rec 2-1-06 m1n doc PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES FEBRUARY 1, 2006 Commissioner Dawson moved for City Staff to look into locations for a disc golf course with a recommendation. Motion was seconded by Commissioner P. Babcock and carried by an 8-0 vote. B. PALM DESERT COMMUNITY CENTER WEIGHT EQUIPMENT Discussion on the proposed weight equipment. Ms. Steele reported that the agenda packet has a copy of the proposed layout, and cost for the weight equipment at the Community Center. She introduced Craig DeWitt, CVPRD, to provide more information on the equipment. Mr. DeWitt reported that there have been many changes done at the Palm Desert Community Center in the past six to eight months, and that they are receiving positive comments from the community. The comments came from a short five -question survey along with a comments area that is done twice a month. He explained that through the survey, they have had comments and suggestions that the weight equipment could be improved. He commented that the Indio Community Center replaced the equipment with the proposed equipment for Palm Desert, and the Indio Center has received great reviews. Mr. DeWitt requested assistance from the City of Palm Desert for the replacement of the equipment and resurfacing of the floor. Commissioner Barnes asked how much a Palm Desert resident would pay to use the Community Center. Mr. DeWitt replied that it would cost $10 a year. The cost varies depending on the person's location in the valley. Commissioner Barnes asked how many people are currently using the Center. Mr. DeWitt responded that the usage is up, but he could not give an exact number. Commissioner Schukart asked if there is a daily log that records how many people have used the Center and would it show peak periods, etc. Mr. DeWitt responded that their staff counts manually on an hourly basis. He indicated that they would be installing a new tracking and card system. Commissioner Schukart requested to see data on the usage of the equipment at the Palm Desert Community Center. Councilman Spiegel asked CVRPD if they had any Redevelopment funds available. Mr. Stan Ford, CVRPD, responded that the District has a deficit budget this year. He indicated that out of the $1.3 million Redevelopment funds from the City, the district only sees 25% of that money. He also indicated that the tax base they generate is committed. Mr. Ford mentioned that the City Manager, Carlos Ortega, has approached the 5 W IAgenda ltems12006-Mar 231Parks & Rec 2-1-06 m1n doc PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES FEBRUARY 1, 2006 CVPRD to spend money on the swimming pool and new ball fields. He is not sure if more money could be spent. Commissioner Dawson asked if the floor space at the Community Center is adequate. Mr. DeWitt responded that there is space at this time, but in the future there would not be enough. Commissioner Dawson asked if trainers are available to show people how to use the equipment. Mr. DeWitt responded that they do have staff to show people how to use the equipment, but they are not certified trainers to provide a workout for them. Commissioner Dawson commented that he has heard good things about the Indio Community Center, and asked who built the building. Mr. DeWitt replied that the City of Indio built the building. Mr. Kalman explained that Indio has an additional assessment district that funds the Indio Center. He indicated that part of the assessment pays for the debt service and the remaining amount goes into the maintenance and operation for the Center. Mr. Kalman noted that the Indio Center has a separate funding source from any of the other operations in the district. Mr. Ford stated that the District owns the Indio facility but not the Palm Desert facility. Commissioner Barnes stated that the District was going to have a building built at Freedom Park, which is no longer in the plans. He asked the District if they still have plans for another building. Mr. Ford responded that he has had several discussions with the City. He explained that the District was going to contribute money towards the building at Freedom Park for a couple thousand feet of office space. Mr. Ford commented that a building at Freedom Park was not going to be practical. He noted that the money that was going towards the building is now going towards the Golf Center. He stated the District bought a building in Indio that is 8000 sq. ft. for their administrative offices. Commissioner Dawson asked if the money that Mr. Ford mentioned for the Golf Center was used to purchase the triangle piece of land. Mr. Ford replied that the money was used to purchase the golf course/driving range. Chairman Guyer asked if the survey is done every two months. Mr. DeWitt responded that it varies, but that the District tries to have a survey twice a month, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. He mentioned that some of the questions on the survey are on the service, weight room, and other miscellaneous items. 6 W IAgenda ltems12006-Mar 231Parks & Rec 2-1-06 m1n doc PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES FEBRUARY 1, 2006 Chairman Guyer asked if they do the same survey at the Indio Community Center. Mr. DeWitt replied yes. Chairman Guyer asked if the District receives different survey results from the Indio Center. Mr. DeWitt responded that there are more positive comments concerning service at the Palm Desert Center than in Indio. Chairman Guyer asked if there is a difference in demographics on the two facilities. Mr. DeWitt responded that there is an age difference. The Indio facility has more ethnics and younger people, and Palm Desert has more adults. Commissioner Barnes asked Commissioner Schukart if there is an attendant at the College of the Desert's weight room. He replied yes. Mr. Kalman stated that the District has a full-time attendant at the Indio weight room, and that the Palm Desert facility does not have enough floor space for another body. Mr. Ford commented that the subject of the weight equipment has been addressed because the patrons are requesting new equipment. He noticed that with the new equipment in Indio, he has seen more usage by patrons. The usage in the Palm Desert facility is not quite as high due to the old equipment. Commissioner Barnard asked how many members are in the District. Mr. Kalman responded that at any given time the District could have 10,000 active members. Commissioner Barnes asked if the District has looked at raising the membership fee. Mr. Kalman responded that they have. Mr. DeWitt mentioned that through the survey, it has been commented that the District has the best deal. Commissioner Limont stated that the City of Palm Desert budgets a certain amount of money for CVRPD. She asked the District if they are requesting additional money from the amount that they already receive to purchase the equipment. Mr. DeWitt responded yes, but noted that the District operates the Palm Desert Facility and operates at a loss of $250,000.00 a year. Commissioner Limont asked if the City should be taking a look at the loss or is it the cost of doing business. Councilman Spiegel responded that it is the cost of doing business. The City takes pride that someone could use the facility to do jazzercise for a minimal price. He commented that the golf course operated and owned by CVRPD also runs at a $250,000.00 deficit. He feels that for $50,000.00 for equipment is a good investment, but that the City does need to know what is the usage. If the Indio facility usage is up, the usage in Palm Desert should go up too. 7 W IAgenda ltems12006-Mar 231Parks & Rec 2-1-06 m1n doc PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES FEBRUARY 1, 2006 Mr. DeWitt commented that there are about 400 people an hour using the weight room in Indio. Commissioner Schukart asked what is the difference in square footage between Indio and Palm Desert. The District responded that Palm Desert is approximately 1/3 the size of Indio. Commissioner Barnes asked what the turnover time is for weight equipment. Mr. DeWitt responded that it would eventually need to be replaced. He mentioned that District does maintain the equipment so it could last longer. It also depends on the usage and if it is good quality equipment. Commissioner Barnard asked if there is any value in the current equipment to offset the cost. Mr. DeWitt replied no. Commissioner Barnard asked if the equipment would be purchased or leased. The District responded that it would be purchased. Commissioner Dawson asked if the Commission agrees to purchase the equipment, would it go to the City Council as a recommendation. Ms. Steele replied yes. Chairman Guyer stated that he has a concern with the demographics the equipment is designed for since there are older people using the Palm Desert facility. His other concern is where the money would come from. Councilman Spiegel answered that it would come from the General Fund. Chairman Guyer asked the Commission if they wanted to make a recommendation. Commissioner Schukart responded that he would like to see data on the usage. Mr. DeWitt stated that he is confident that usage would increase with new equipment. The Commission recommended continuing the purchase of weight and cardio equipment to the next Park & Recreation Commission meeting, and that additional information on equipment usage is provided. Ms. Laura McGalliard addressed the Commission that they are welcome to visit the Indio facility. Councilman Spiegel asked the District how many people were participating in the Senior Games. Mr. Kalman responded that the there is little fewer than 800 participants. He mentioned that there would not be a 8 W IAgenda ltems12006-Mar 231Parks & Rec 2-1-06 m1n doc PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES FEBRUARY 1, 2006 men's volleyball team due to lack of organization, but that Pickle Ball was added to this year's activities. Mr. Kalman informed the Commission that the Senior Games dinner is scheduled for February 10, 2006. Let him know if they did not receive an invitation. The dinner will be a luau theme. Ms. Steele asked Mr. Kalman if he had a schedule of events for the Senior Games. He responded that he did not have any with him, but could send some over to the City. He also said that information could be found on the CVRPD website at www.cvprd.orq. He noted that their website will soon be changing to www.cvprd.ca.gov. Councilman Spiegel suggested that the District e-mail the schedule to Ms. Steele, and she will forward it to the Commission. He asked if there were lawn bowlers for the Senior Games. Mr. Kalman indicated that they anticipate having approximately 30 bowlers. Chairman Guyer commented that the past couple of years the men's volleyball team has not been very well organized, and the reason for the repercussions this year. Mr. Kalman added that the District's volleyball coordinator backed out this year. VIII. CONTINUED BUSINESS - None IX. OLD BUSINESS - None X. REPORTS AND UPDATES A. AQUATIC CENTER Ms. Steele reported that interviews for the Aquatic Center design went well. She noted that Commissioner Schukart and Commissioner Barnes participated representing the Commission. There were two firms that scored the highest. A selection was made; Ms. Steele and Mr. Alvarez will be meeting with the firm concerning the fee schedule. City Staff hopes to have the contract approved at the second City Council meeting in February. Councilman Spiegel asked if the contract is approved, what is the timeline. Ms. Steele responded that the design should be completed by May 2006, the construction documents completed by Fall 2006, and then move forward. 9 W IAgenda ltems12006-Mar 231Parks & Rec 2-1-06 m1n doc PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES FEBRUARY 1, 2006 Commissioner Barnes asked Commissioner Schukart if there are any updates concerning the site location. Commissioner Schukart responded that parking is still being negotiated and researched. Commissioner Barnes voiced his concerns concerning the site, parking, and money that would be spent. Councilman Spiegel stated there would be plenty of parking available adjacent to the Public Safety Academy when it is built (north of the pool). Mr. Martin Alvarez commented that the project is not going to happen overnight. There is input that needs to be received from the City Council, Parks & Recreation Commission, Planning Commission, and the community. He explained that there is a long process that has to happen, and there will be an opportunity for everyone to look at the challenges and issues. Ms. Steele also commented that the design team is being hired. The firm will do studies for the City. She stated that the City would not build something that does not meet the parking standards. B. FREEDOM PARK Ms. Steele reported that an addendum was issued to extend the opening to February 15, 2006. C. ICE ARENA Ms. Steele stated that she was directed by the Commission to request business plans from the three different groups that have approached the Commission. She indicated that she has not received a plan from the Desert Hockey Association. I.C.E. Empire has a "confidential" plan, but they are requesting a letter stating they have land from the City so they can pursue fundraising efforts. Ms. Steele stated that she has received a business plan from Desert Ice along with letters from Olympic athletes. She mentioned that Staff has brought maps to look at possible locations. Mr. Niemczak commented that the maps are small and that the Commission might have to move closer to view them. He indicated the brown areas are Redevelopment property and the green indicates City property. Councilman Spiegel suggested that the Commission make a decision if they would like to proceed with Desert Ice House, and direct Staff to add maps to the agenda packets for the next meeting. 10 W IAgenda ltems12006-Mar 231Parks & Rec 2-1-06 m1n doc PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES FEBRUARY 1, 2006 Ms. Steele requested that Commissioner Barnes let her know exactly the area that he is referring to for the ice arena. Once Staff knows which area, a larger map could be shown. Commissioner Dawson asked where the new hotel would be located. Councilman Spiegel stated that it is located in the complex of Desert Willow close to the clubhouse. Commissioner Barnes asked if a conference center is still going to be built. Councilman Spiegel replied that is it not. Commissioner Guyer asked the Commission if they have had a chance to look at the pro forma for Desert Ice. Commissioner Barnard inquired about the ice rink in Cathedral City. Ms. Steele replied that the group from Cathedral City has approached the Commission. The group built a rink in an old furniture store, which is not a full size rink. She informed Mr. Barnard that Desert Ice House currently has a rink in Ontario, and they are carpooling people from the Valley to Ontario to skate. Commissioner Barnes commented that Desert Ice House seems to be the best group. He asked Councilman Spiegel what is the next step. Councilman Spiegel responded making a recommendation to the City Council that a program is developed between the City and Desert Ice House with the group building the arena and the Commission recommending several locations to the City Council. Commissioner Barnes asked if Staff would have to check the information the group provided to the City. Ms. Steele responded that Staff has visited their arena and talked to their architects who are a very reputable firm out of Minnesota. She feels comfortable saying that this group is serious and that they the financial backing. Chairman Guyer stated that the Commission needs to decide if they want to move ahead with an ice arena, which group does the Commission want to recommend, and find a location. Commissioner Dawson asked if the City should wait for a response from Desert Hockey Association. Ms. Steele responded that she requested the information from them in November of 2005. Chairman Guyer recommended that the ice arena be continued to the next Parks & Recreation meeting and Vice Chair Munson 11 W IAgenda ltems12006-Mar 231Parks & Rec 2-1-06 m1n doc PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES FEBRUARY 1, 2006 recommended contacting Desert Hockey Association one last time requesting a business plan. Commissioner Barnard asked which group runs the Cathedral City ice rink. Ms. Steele responded Desert Hockey Association. D. CIVIC CENTER PARK PROJECTS Mr. Niemczak reported that the columns at Legends Fields and the development at the Date Grove are requiring architectural designs and plans, which will delay the projects. He mentioned that he spoke to the original builder of the columns, and he showed some interest, but is too busy with other jobs. Mr. Niemczak asked the builder for the original plans for the columns, but that the builder told him that he no longer had them. He commented that the columns would have to be redesigned. Commissioner Barnes asked if there are any copies of the plans in the archives. Mr. Niemczak replied no. There is a local architect that is willing to do the design. E. DOG PARK ISSUES Ms. Steele stated that the staff report on the dog issues would be going to the City Council on February 23, 2006. There will be two separate items. First would be presenting to the Council the card system along with other options and request a recommendation. The second item would be not allowing dogs at the Soccer Park. She also reported that she has contacted Riverside County Animal Control. They are now out of the new Animal Campus. Councilman Spiegel announced that on Thursday, February 9, 2006, the Campus would have a grand opening. He mentioned that the facility is state of the art, and that the Commissioners should stop by for a visit. Ms. Steele indicated that the Riverside County Animal Control is no longer out of Indio, but out of the new Animal Campus. They have a new number and will be posted at the dog parks soon. She mentioned that Code Enforcement has called Animal Control to catch dogs off leash or defecating at the Soccer Park, but that it has been difficult to catch them in the act. Ms. Steele stated that Animal Control would continue to monitor the Soccer Park. She also requested Animal Control to go around to the dog parks and randomly check for tags. Ms. Steele feels that Animal Control will be more responsive. 12 W IAgenda ltems12006-Mar 231Parks & Rec 2-1-06 m1n doc PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES FEBRUARY 1, 2006 Commissioner Dawson asked if the new phone number is a cell phone. Ms. Steele responded that the new number is for animal control in Palm Desert, and after hours they will have an answering machine that will page them. Commissioner Barnes shared that a doctor commented to him that he does not like to see dogs running loose at the Soccer Park, and that he feels the same as the Commission. Commissioner Babcock asked Ms. Steele if she talked to the City Attorney regarding a law that prohibits dogs on sport fields. She responded that she has not been able to get a hold of him, but that she will try to contact him. Commissioner Babcock shared his story about his father involved in passing a law in the early 1930's prohibiting animals on athletic fields. He commented that there are other areas in parks that are being used for soccer games and football practice. He asked if those areas should also be considered in prohibiting animals. Councilman Spiegel remarked that there is a leash law. Commissioner Babcock replied that people still have to pick up after their pets. Ms. Steele stated that she has notified the City Attorney, and she would check back with him. Commissioner Barnes commented that there is a lot of good information in the "Pooch Park" packet that was included in the agenda. Ms. Steele responded that Staff would like to have an educational publication made for dog park users. Commissioner Babcock mentioned that he has not seen doggy sacks on the trail. Mr. Niemczak responded that Staff installed bag holders at Homme/Adams and Cahuilla Park. The one at Cahuilla Park was pulled up, and Staff would have it reinstalled with concrete. Mr. Niemczak indicated that the bag holders have not been installed on the trails. F. PARK INSPECTIONS Ms. Steele stated that the January inspection list was provided in the agenda packet, and asked the Commission if they had any questions. Commissioner Dawson mentioned that he saw a piece of land on the right hand side of the driving range on Cook Street that had a For Sale/Sold sign. Commissioner Spiegel responded that there is a small corner of the driving range that is not part of the golf course. He indicated that the 13 W IAgenda ltems12006-Mar 231Parks & Rec 2-1-06 m1n doc PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES FEBRUARY 1, 2006 person that bought the land did not know that they only had access off Cook Street, and is not sure what is the current status of the land. Commissioner Barnes asked Ms. Steele how many ballparks are in Freedom Park. She responded that there would be two, and that she is checking on the cost for a third field. XI. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS Commissioners had no comments. Ms. Steele stated the lawn bowlers were not able to make it to the Commission meeting, but wanted to thank the Commission for all they have done in making lawn bowling possible for the next couple of years. Ms. Steele indicated that she has had difficulty contacting Mr. Pasarell's assistant. She did finally talk to his assistant, but was told that Mr. Pasarell is in Europe and is suppose to be returning on February 11, 2006. His assistant is going to work on changing his schedule. Commissioner Barnes asked if it is too late to cut him out. Councilman Spiegel commented that one year they had the wife of Don Drysdale participated since Mr. Drysdale was no longer living. The Commission recommended contacting Mr. Pasarell's wife to attend the Senior Games award dinner in Mr. Pasarell's place. Commissioner Dawson stated that he has been in many organizations in his life, and preparing minutes is one of the most difficult things to do. He commented that Ms. Loredo does a super job at preparing minutes. XII.
