IV. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Stan Ford distributed the Coachella Valley Recreation and Park District's (CVRPD) fall catalog. He announced that the CVRPD will be hosting the Disney Institute on September 22-23, 2008, at the Indian Wells Conference Center. Mr. Ford stated that after reading the minutes from the last meeting regarding the Gus Macker, he was concerned with the bad communication. He explained that their board had to make a tough decision, and noted that they could come back with an update since it is not an agenda item. Mr. Ford stated that he could have dialogue with the City so that there are no misunderstandings or hard feelings. Chairman Dawson told Mr. Ford that it would be a good idea for them to update the Commission periodically. Ms. Steele announced that at the last meeting, the Commission asked Staff to come back with the 2007 Legend Fields nominees list. She mentioned that she was very sick before she left on vacation, and the item was left out of the agenda while she was out. She apologized to the Commission. Ms. Steele noted that the list had Billie Jean King, Rosie Casals, Tom Flores, and Steve Garvey. She stated that the Commission could add it to the agenda or Staff could bring back later. Mayor Pro Tem Spiegel commented that.after talking to a couple of people on the Council, they would prefer to have people in baseball until they run out of names since the columns are located at the ball fields. Ms. Steele indicated that the only baseball player left would be Steve Garvey. Commissioner Hall asked if he is local. Mayor Pro Tem Spiegel suggested that Staff contact last year's recipient, and find out if he knows anybody. Ms. Steele asked if Staff could bring this item to the next meeting. She asked the Commission to let her know if they think of anyone else. Vice Chair Barnard mentioned Don Baylor, and believes he lives in La Quinta. 2 G:IDevServiceslMonica LoredolWord DatalParks&ReclMinutes12008 Minutes19-2-08.min.docx PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES SEPTEMBER 2, 2008 Ms. Steele commented that he was on the list a couple of years ago. Chairman Dawson stated that they will finalize a decision at the next meeting, and if anyone has additional names to please give them to Ms. Steele as soon as possible. V. PRESENTATIONS - None VI. NEW BUSINESS - None VII. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. PETANQUE COURTS AND OTHER AMENITIES AT HOVLEY SOCCER PARK Discussion and recommendation to build petanque courts and other amenities at Hovley Soccer Park. Mr. Niemczak reported that this item has been back to the Commission several times. He reported that on May 6, the Commission requested for Staff to get a cost estimate to design/build petanque courts, pickleball courts, community gardens, and horseshoe pits. Staff received an approximate cost from Larios Builders, Inc. Mr. Niemczak noted that it does not include engineering costs. The petanque courts, pickleball courts, and horseshoe pits would cost approximately $75,000. In addition, the community gardens would cost an additional $59,000, which would be paid by the Community Services Department. The overall cost for the entire project will be $120,000. Commissioner Housken inquired if a pickleball is fenced in. Mr. Niemczak answered yes. Commissioner Housken asked if the same soil is going to be used for petanque. Mr. Niemczak replied that decomposed granite (DG) is used; it is not cement or grass. Commissioner Housken asked if petanque needs to be watered down. Mr. Niemczak answered that a hose bib will be available for the players. Mayor Pro Tem Spiegel asked why Staff is not going out to bid. Ms. Steele responded that Staff has to go out to bid. Staff only wanted to bring an approximate cost back to the Commission. 3 G:IDevServiceslMonica LoredolWord DatalParks&ReclMinutes12008 Minutes19-2-08.min.docx PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES SEPTEMBER 2, 2008 Commissioner Guyer inquired if Staff still has the contact information for the petanque court representatives, and has Staff talked to them about the design. Ms. Steele replied that she does have the contact information. Mr. Niemczak interjected that Staff initially did talk to them about the location and size. Commissioner Hall inquired if Staff is requesting to approve the amount or to go out to bid. Ms. Steele responded that Staff is requesting the Commission's recommendation to go out to bid, and take it to the City Council for their approval to request bids as well. Mayor Pro Tem Spiegel asked if there is plenty of room at the Soccer Park. Ms. Steele replied yes. She noted that the Community Services Department would like to get started on the community gardens. If possible, Staff is going to try to get it on the next City Council agenda if the Commission is in favor. Commissioner Hall asked if these amenities would finish up the area since it was done in pieces. Mr. Niemczak responded that the only section left will be the west section of the parking lot. He noted that the Community Services Department mentioned that they may have enough funds to add a picnic area. Commissioner Guyer asked if part of the section is a retention basin or is the soccer field considered a retention basin. Mr. Niemczak answered that the soccer field is a retention basin. He indicated that there is a little wash area along the parking lot, which they will be able to build an ADA accessible pathway. Vice Chair Barnard inquired if bocce ball could be played on the same courts. Mr. Niemczak responded that if bocce ball requires turf, no. Vice Chair Barnard noted that he does not remember how popular it was, but that ten petanque courts seems like a lot. Mr. Niemczak replied that he would check on it. Commissioner Hall moved to recommend to the City Council to go out to bid for the installation of petanque courts and other amenities at the Hovley Soccer Park. Commissioner Schukart seconded the motion, and carried by a 9-0 vote. 4 G:IDevServiceslMonica LoredolWord DatalParks8ReclMinutes12008 Minutesl&2-08.min.docx PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES SEPTEMBER 2, 2008 VIII. REPORTS AND UPDATES A. ACCESSIBILITY UPGRADES FOR PARK PLAYGROUNDS Ms. Steele reported that in October 2005, the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board developed some accessibility guidelines for newly constructed and altered play areas. The guidelines are a supplement to the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines. She noted that most of the Parks Staff attended the Parks Inspection Certification workshop. Ms. Steele mentioned that after attending the workshop, she felt it was important to start budgeting into the Capital Improvement Projects for some of the things they might have to change or do to the City's playgrounds to meet the new accessibility guidelines. She stated that Mr. Niemczak and Mr. Torres have gone out and completed some initial inspections in the playgrounds. Staff has made some recommendations on what they thought they should do priority wise. She noted that some of the recommendations do not have to be done at this time, but they are being proactive. Ms. Steele mentioned that the Public Works and Building & Safety Departments are also evaluating City buildings and sidewalks. She mentioned that Mr. Juan Hernandez, Parks Inspector, is present to discuss their findings and recommendations. Mr. Hernandez reported that at Hovley Soccer Park they will be installing two additional accessibility features to the 5 to 12-year old playground. The features include a balance board and power pedaler. If the two components are added, an accessible rubber mat needs to be installed or the sand needs to be replaced with ADA approved wood chips. The surFace needs to be changed so that the two features are accessible. At Joe Mann Park playground, the spacing was tight since swings have a six foot non-overlapping use beyond the posts. In addition, spring toys have their own non-overlapping use zone. Therefore, the only way to comply with the request is to have free standing play equipment that requires the user to have their feet on the ground. Staff's recommendation is to add a music maker rated for ages 2 to 12, and cat's den rated for ages 2 to 5 (pictures provided in agenda packet). . Chairman Dawson asked if the music maker is a maintenance problem. Mr. Hernandez responded that the equipment is made very hardy. The equipment will have a warranty as does any other piece of equipment. Mr. Hernandez continued with the Civic Center Park. As with the Hovley Soccer Park at the 5 to 12-year old playground, two ground accessible features are needed. Staff's recommendation is a bouncy bounce and 5 G:IDevServiceslMonica LoredolWord DatalPa�ks&ReclMinutes12008 Minutesl9-2-08.min.docx PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES SEPTEMBER 2, 2008 power pedaler. For the 2 to 5-year old playground, it was not required since there are spring toys. He mentioned that while inspecting the playground, Staff found concerns that they need to address. In the small playground, there is a small elephant that has to be removed and there is no other place to install it. The problem is the non-overlapping use zone, and the elephant is too close to the swing structure. In addition, the trunk of the elephant poses a head entrapment hazard. Mr. Hernandez mentioned that the monkey bars need to be moved a few inches to be in compliance. He noted that all the benches around the playground have a head entrapment hazard. Staff will have someone come in to cut the arm rests off, which are not bolted on. There is currently a broken see-saw near the elephant, and Staff's recommendation is to remove it. Staff has recommended replacing both items with a tot town. Chairman Dawson asked what type of material is the cat's den. Mr. Hernandez responded that it is recycled plastic. Commissioner Babcock inquired how strong the plastic is. Mr. Hernandez replied that the plastic is very hard and cannot be bent. Chairman Dawson commended Mr. Hernandez for his knowledge and recommendations. Mr. Niemczak mentioned that the requirements change yearly. Mr. Hernandez added that they all have to be re-certified every three years. Commissioner Hall asked how popular the musical toys are. Mr. Hernandez responded that he did not know, and did not have any statistics. He mentioned that he can call the company, and ask them how well they sell. Commissioner Hall wondered if there are other parks where they have been installed, and if there is a way to find out if it gets a lot of use. Commissioner Guyer asked what the surface requirement is for accessibility to different types of playground equipment. Mr. Hernandez responded that most of the City's playgrounds meet the accessibility requirements because they have the ADA approved wood chips. The only park that would need matting is the soccer park. The only way around it would be by taking out the sand, and adding the ADA approved wood chips. He stated that you have to be able to push a wheelchair through a playground even if they can or cannot access the playground. 6 G:IDevServiceslMonica LoredolWord DatalPa�ks&ReclMinutes12008 Minutes19-2-08.min.docx PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES SEPTEMBER 2, 2008 Ms. Steele added that a rubber surface is very expensive and does not do well in the desert. Staff has tried to stay clear of it. Commissioner Guyer commented that requirements could be changed from wood chips to rubberized matting. Mr. Hernandez responded that wood chips are specifically engineered to hold up to wheelchairs. Ms. Steele commented that the Parks Inspectors have all done a great job with the attached report and recommendations. Mr. Hernandez interjected that he will not take sole credit, and that it was all a team effort. Ms. Steele stated that she added the accessibility guide to the agenda packet as an informational item and reference guide. Commissioner Housken referred to a news article in the newspaper that displays a special swing that a quadriplegic child can use. She asked if this type of swing can be used. Mr. Hernandez responded that if they were to add a swing of that nature, they would have to add a whole special area for it. He explained that due to the size of the swing, kids tend to run right in front of them and cause head injuries. For that reason, it would need to be installed away from the playground where kids are not running near it. B. ANNUAL OVERSEEDING SCHEDULE Mr. Niemczak reported that the overseeding schedule is in the agenda packet as an informational item. Overseeding will begin around September 18. Ms. Steele added that some parks are kept open during overseeding. Staff will be putting out a press release to inform people. Chairman Dawson asked if Staff has tried putting up signs. Mr. Niemczak replied that they need to because Staff gets a lot of calls, especially from people using the Civic Center Park. Commissioner Schukart inquired if the schedule is the same as previous years' time wise. Mr. Niemczak responded no due to Palm Desert High School and their need to utilize fields in City parks; the schedule has been adjusted a little. C. COMMUNITY CENTER UPDATE Ms. Steele requested that this item be discussed last because it will take longer. Chairman Dawson moved on to the next item. 7 G:IDevServiceslMonica LoredolWord DatalParks&ReclMinutes12008 Minutes19-2-08.min_docx PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES SEPTEMBER 2, 2008 Ms. Steele reported that a meeting is scheduled with gkkworks for an update on progress made to date. The gkkworks contract went to the City Council last week for ratification. At the City Council meeting, one of the Councilmember's requested that the consultant schedule meetings with each individual Councilmember to get their feedback. She noted that a disc was provided to all Commissioners with information received from Facility Design School. She briefly mentioned information that is on the disc. She noted that she will also provide the City Council with a copy of the disc. Ms. Steele apologized again because she was not feeling well before she left on vacation. She commented that she put a slide show together of the facilities that were included in the tour. She apologized that the pictures were not very organized. Before displaying the slides, she mentioned that she was trying to get a copy of the contract for operational services from Platte County Parks and Recreation District. Platte County was the only facility that had a contract with another agency to run their facility. She mentioned that she received a copy of the contract the day before she left on vacation. After reviewing the contract, she felt it was a very good contract. The contract includes a lot of pre-construction material. Platte County approached the YMCA since they operated 13 successful centers in the Kansas City metro area, and have the experience of running centers. Platte County and the YMCA began discussions two or three years before construction started. The Director of Platte County told her that it is very important to have trust between the two agencies to be successful in serving their citizens. The two agencies would communicate weekly. Ms. Steele stated that the contract was set up with a goal to recover all costs of the facility. The contract was set up with a three-year period allowing the YMCA to get to the full cost recovery, not including the opening year if they opened for a partial year. In year one, Platte County planned on subsidizing the facility by fifteen percent (15%). The incentive is if the YMCA's revenue was higher than 15%, the YMCA could bank into an operating surplus up to $500,000. Once they reached that amount, the remainder amount would go into a capital improvement fund that the County has for the community center only. The funds would be available for major capital improvements and any facility expansions. She noted that the facility had not been open for three years, and they had $500,000 in their operating surplus and $700,000 in their capital. So Platte County never had to subsidize those amounts. The contract also had an administrative fee of eleven percent (11%). For this fee, the YMCA will provide accounting, management of information services, human resources, management, program innovation, and senior administrative management expertise to operate the facilities. s G:IDevServiceslMonica LoredolWord DatalParks&ReclMinutes12008 Minutes19-2-08.min.docx PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES SEPTEMBER 2, 2008 Ms. Steele stated that it is really good contract, but not the only one they are going to look at. She noted that she included in the agenda packet information of the Platte County Community Center. Mayor Pro Tem Spiegel asked if the Platte County center was the one she favored. Ms. Steele responded that it was probably one of their least favorite ones. Vice Chair Barnard communicated that Platte County and the YMCA were really open with each other. They did their budgets together, regular monthly meetings, and disclosed audits and financial information. He noted that it was a good relationship befinreen Platte County and the YMCA. There was never any hiding anything from anybody. Commissioner Guyer clarified if Ms. Steele picked the Platte County contract because it was the only one that had joint management contract. Ms. Steele replied yes. She chose the contract to share with the Commission because all the other centers they visited had city staff running their facilities. Ms. Steele noted that the agenda packet has more information on the Platte County Community Center. Information is also provided on the disk. Commissioner Guyer asked Ms. Steele if there is an increased ability to recover costs as a result of having a joint partnership with someone else running the facility. She replied no because everyone would probably say that it is more expensive to contract operational services. However, Platte County was a very small district that did not have many facilities or parks. Platte County completed a master plan and survey, and determined what their citizens wanted with a community center and parks rating high. Being a small district, they did not desire nor have the experience in running a facility such as this. They had no desire to take it on. Commissioner Guyer asked if Platte County had the population. Ms. Steele responded yes. Platte County did not mind taking care of the parks, but were not interested in running the community center. Commissioner Guyer inquired if the surplus was an addition to the administrative fee. Ms. Steele answered yes. She explained the administrative fee was part of their operational expenses. Ms. Steele presented pictures of the community centers they visited during their trip to Missouri for Facility Design School. 9 G:IDevServiceslMonica LoredolWo�d DatalPa�ks&ReclMinutes12008 Minutes19-2-08.min.docx PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES SEPTEMBER 2, 2008 Mayor Pro Tem Spiegel interjected that he had to leave to another meeting. He commented that at the last City Council meeting, the Council approved the $25,000 for the feasibility study. He noted that one of the Councilmember's requested that the consultant talk to each Councilmember. He also noted that Ms. Steele will be giving the disk to the City Council, but they are not going to look at it. Mayor Pro Tem Spiegel suggested having a study session showing the City Council the pictures so they can see what is being done at othsr cities. Commissioner Babcock asked how many swimming lanes is the City thinking of building. Ms. Steele replied at least eight for competitive swimming. Commissioner Hall inquired if there is a standard for competitive pools. Ms. Steele responded that all high school and colleges are 25 yards. The long course meets and Olympics swim in a 50-meter pool. Commissioner Hall also inquired about the number of lanes. Ms. Steele answered that you could probably get by with six, but eight is the minimum we are looking at. Commissioner Babcock asked Ms. Steele if she is going to show all the pictures to the City Council. She replied that she will be showing portions of it, and in a more organized order. Ms. Steele noted that she is showing the slides so that they can get ideas from other community centers. Commissioner Dash inquired about the areas in Missouri. Ms. Steele replied that it is mostly suburban areas. Vice Chair Barnard commented that all the community centers were fairly close to each other. They were approximately within a 50 to 75 mile radius. Commissioner Babcock asked if there is a chance that the City will be working with the YMCA. Ms. Steele responded yes. She stated that the City has not chosen anyone, but there is a chance. Commissioner Babcock asked what the Commission is selling to the City Council. Ms. Steele answered an indoor community center with an aquatic complex or components. 10 G:IDevServiceslMonica LoredolWord DatalParks&ReclMinutes12008 Minutes19-2-08.min.docx PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES SEPTEMBER 2, 2008 Commissioner Babcock inquired about the location of the community center and aquatic complex. Commissioner Schukart responded that the location has not been determined. Ms. Steele interjected that the consultants are working on a location. The consultants were hired to look at and present a site plan and design, preferably around the Civic Center Park area. Commissioner Babcock voiced his concern about adding more buildings to the park. Vice Chair Barnard commented to Commissioner Babcock that he should wait to see what the consultant comes back with. Commissioner Housken clarified to Commissioner Babcock that there is no plan to take anything from the park. She remembered discussion of incorporating and redirecting some of the street (San Pablo). Chairman Dawson asked Ms. Steele if she will be preparing a study session presentation. She responded that it will not happen right away. She explained that Staff is currently working on the site master plan. She understood that Staff first has to go back to the City Council with site options, costs for the site, and recommendation for one site. Vice Chair Barnard stated that he understood Mayor Pro Tem Spiegel wants the City Council to see the slide presentation to give them a vision before giving them a site plan. Ms. Steele stated that she will clarify with Mayor Pro Tem Spiegel on how to proceed. Commissioner Dash asked if the site recommendation will go to the Commission before the City Council. Ms. Steele replied that Staff will bring to the Commission first. D. CONSTRUCTION OF THE PARKS INSPECTORS WORK AREA Mr. Niemczak communicated that after the Parks Maintenance workers were reclassified to Parks Inspectors, Staff decided to look at their work area so that they can get their job done. Staff had Prest Vuksic Architects redesign the inspectors work area, and took it out to bid. The bid went to the last City Council meeting, and was awarded to Simon Contracting of Indio, California, with a bid price of $123,000. Staff hopes construction will begin in about three weeks. 11 G:IDevServiceslMonica LoredolWo�d DatalParks6ReclMinutes12008 Minutes19-2-OB.min.docx PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES SEPTEMBER 2, 2008 Ms. Steele interjected that the bid price was under budget. Staff had $340,000 budgeted; however, the price does not include furniture. With the new remodel of the inspectors work area, they hope to keep rodents out, and have air conditioning installed. Commissioner Housken inquired where the Parks Inspectors area is located. Ms. Steele responded that it is located behind the Palm Desert Community Center. E. I-10 BICYCLE PATH Mr. Niemczak stated that the I-10 bicycle path is an informational item to keep the Commission updated. He stated that City Staff interviewed consultants to select one who will be hired to perform a feasibility study for the area from Washington Avenue to Aqua Caliente Casino (includes Freedom Park and railroad area). Staff looked at proposals and evaluated them according to qualifications of the firm, management approach, technical approach, and completeness of proposal. Staff agreed on the qualifications from a firm named R, R, and Design Group of San Clemente. Staff is currently contacting the firm's references, getting approval, and a formal quote. Mayor Pro Tem Spiegel asked if this is the bike path where the City has a grant. Ms. Steele replied yes. Mayor Pro Tem Spiegel inquired if there is going to be way to get across Monterey. Ms. Steele responded that would be part of the feasibility study. They will also be looking at easements, and determine what the City is going to need to do to make it work. Mr. Niemczak mentioned that the firm is very experienced in bicycle paths and easements. Chairman Dawson inquired if the firm is going to assume that Portola is an I-10 connection. Ms. Steele responded that she believes so. Mr. Niemczak communicated that the biggest obstacle will be working with the railroad company and private land owners. Commissioner Babcock asked if this is the same trail that the mayor of Rancho Mirage did not know anything about, and the same trail that will go through Rancho Mirage. Ms. Steele responded that the firm who will be performing the feasibility study will include the City of Rancho Mirage in the discussions. 12 G:IDevServiceslMonica LoredolWord DatalParks&ReclMinutes12008 Minutes19-2-08.min.docx PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES SEPTEMBER 2, 2008 Mayor Pro Tem Spiegel noted that the area in Rancho Mirage is a very small piece. Commissioner Babcock commented that if it works, he would like to see the bike path go the other direction as well. Mayor Pro Tem Spiegel responded that if Palm Desert gets it started other cities may join the plan. Mr. Niemczak stated that the feasibility study will also suggest alternate routes, if unable to get easements. Commissioner Guyer mentioned that the firm should also look at a combined trail; a trail that is paved and off road. Mr. Niemczak responded that he will let the Public Works Department know. Commissioner Dash inquired if there has been any additional information on being designated a Bicycle Friendly City. Ms. Steele answered that she will bring additional information to the next meeting. Commissioner Guyer commented that in the weekend USA Weekend magazine there was an article on the Bicycle Friendly Cities Association, and listed the top ten cities in the nation. F. PALM DESERT SPAY & NEUTERNACCINATION CLINIC Ms. Steele stated that the Riverside County Department of Animal Services is planning a vaccination clinic for Saturday, October 18, 2008, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., at the Palm Desert Middle School. The County is also planning on offering spay and neutering services. Information will be in the City's Brightside and posted at the City's dog parks. Mayor Pro Tem Spiegel clarified if the clinic is going to be at the Middle School. Ms. Steele responded that originally the County wanted to have the clinic in the Civic Center Park, but they chose a date that is set in stone. They chose a date when the Heart Walk is scheduled; therefore, it was decided to have the clinic at the Middle School. In addition, the playground may be finished and could be showcased. Commissioner Babcock asked if they will have licensing. Ms. Steele responded yes. She believes they will have licensing and micro chipping. She also noted that pricing will be reasonable. Commissioner Munson inquired if it is too late to add the information to the Brightside. Ms. Steele answered that it is not too late, and believes Staff 13 G:IDevServiceslMonica LoredolWord DatalParks&ReclMinutes12008 Minutes19-2-08.min.docx PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES SEPTEMBER 2, 2008 was getting information to the Staff person that handles the articles in the Brightside. Commissioner Guyer asked if the clinic is for Palm Desert residents only. Ms. Steele replied no. Chairman Dawson returned to Item C, Community Center Update. IX. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS X.
