I support the overall master plan as presented, but would like to discuss the idea of reconsidering the golf course element. In order to do formally reconsider the issue of the Huntington Central Park Master Plan, the City Attorney has indicated that the January 18 motion to approve the master plan must be overturned by a simple majority vote of the Council members present tonight. Then, Council can consider a new motion to approve the master plan with the exception of the golf course. To be consistent, City Council should schedule an administrative public hearing on March 7, 1994 if Council decides to overturn the approval of the master plan tonight. 'K H- ITEM Under Mayor Moulton Patterson: SUBJECT: Request for reconsideration of the Central Park Master Plan a/c, . L . �-A"iff CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH COLJ INTER-DEPARTMENT COMMUNICATION HUNTINGTON BEACH -y III To City Council via City Administrator From Ron Hagan, Director, Community Services Date August 31, 1992 Subject HCP Specific Use Plan Pursuant to the City Council action adopting a land use designation plan for Huntington Central Park and directing staff to proceed with the development of a specific use plan consistent therewith, attached is a preliminary specific use plan that includes the following elements: Family picnic areas Turf and tree areas Open space and urban forest Preservation of vista and lookout points Equestrian and pedestrian trails Tennis courts Gymnasium Swim complex Youth sports complex Golf driving range Fishing lake Large group/corporate picnic facility Therapeutic horseback riding center Rest room and parking facilities HCP Specific Use Plan Page two Although the adopted master plan of land use designations would allow for some higher intensity uses, staff feels that the above types of use reflect what was requested in all of the surveys by both the city and the HCP Task Force. Such uses as camping, bungy cord jumping, skateboarding, bowling, RV areas, etc., were not included in the specific use plan due to their impact on both the park and surrounding neighborhood. It should be noted that approximately 70 percent of the specific use plan maintains a passive, open space character and that the 30 percent`of organized, recreational uses is located within an area which would minimize any impact on both the passive areas and neighborhood. Attached is the preliminary specific use plan. A full sized plan will be presented at the Council study session. Funding sources and cost of development and operation as well as projected income will be analyzed upon review of the preliminary specific use plan by Council.

Uberuaga, City Administrator'A" Prepared by: Ron Hagan, Director, Community Serr�­Rv AgP$ D BY CITY C U IL a-a, Gz� Subject: YOUTH SPORTS COMPLEX _ a S 19 Consistent with Council Policy? [ ] Yes [ ] New Policy or Exceptio Statement of Issue, Recommendation,Analysis, Funding Source,Alternative achm STATEMENT OF ISSUE There is a need to develop a final master plan for Huntington Central Park in order to resolve issues related to the youth sports complex so that this project can be prepared for voter approval under Measure C. RECOMMENDATION 1. Instruct the Director of Community Services to complete the /1 HCP master plan by forming a Master Plan Task Force made up. vff *-- 4,-i-cso c o f 1'n n t I- Q �� ► Mom'"_ and set a time of November, 1991 for the -- task force to submit a final master plan report, including citizens survey results to Council for approval at a public hearing; 2 . Instruct the Director of Community Services to analyze alternative sites for the youth sports complex simultaneously with the Central Park master plan process and present this analysis to Council by August, 1991 ; and 3. Instruct the Director of Community Services to develop cost estimates and funding alternatives for both development and ongoing operation of the youth sports complex and submit this information for Council review by October, 1991 . ANALYSIS The sports complex idea evolved into a "youth sports complex" when supporters of Ocean View Little League came to the city because it was going to lose its home fields at Rancho View School . Little League joined forces with soccer and football to convince the city to build a multi-purpose sports facility. It was suggested that this facility be put on a portion of vacant land at Central Park. Council agreed and directed staff to develop a plan for the youth sports complex at Central Park. Un- PIO 4/84 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Page two fortunately, there was opposition to the facility. This, along with other beach and park projects that residents felt the city was not following a proper public input and approval process for, resulted in the passage of Measure C. Staff was directed to prepare appropriate resolutions for putting the youth sports complex before the voters in a special election in June, 1991 . Before proceeding with this direction, staff has prepared a list for Council to consider of the latest issues and alternatives. CURRENT SITUATION AND ISSUES During and after the last election in November, 1990, several issues have come up that the city will have to have answers for if it is going to be successful in gaining voter approval under Measure C for the youth sports complex project currently planned for Central Park. They are as follows : 1. Is Central Park the best location for the youth sports complex? There has been much discussion among staff and Ocean View School District (OVSD) officials as to the possibility of development and utilization of the now closed Park View School for the youth sports complex. This site was originally the home field for Ocean View National prior to consolidation of Ocean View National and Ocean View American at Rancho View School . Since this site already has turf, irrigation and backstops , and is next to a city park site with lighted fields, development costs would be substantially less. If acquisition or long term lease of the site could be negotiated with OVSD to insure a permanent home for Ocean View Little League, this location may be more acceptable to the voters or may not require approval of the voters under the provisions of Measure C. It has been used as sports field space in the past. It would be prudent for the city and sports user groups to pursue this alternative with OVSD so that it can be determined if this is a viable alternative or not feasible at all . 2 . If Central Park is chosen as the site, is the current area designated in Central Park the best area in Central Park for the sports complex? A. Opposition has centered around the current designated location west of Goldenwest near Talbert. Issues include changing the existing terrain, active vs passive use, impact of lights and noise on residential and nature center, and amount of area needed to pave for parking. B. Other projects for Central Park, including the gym/pool/ SCATS center complex, possible golf facility, and the Central Library parking project, all need to be looked at in relation to J REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Page three the sports complex. For example, the sports complex might be softened by putting parking on the east side of Goldenwest in conjunction with the library parking project. This would require an overpass for Goldenwest. Also, can the gym/pool/SCATS complex share parking with the sports complex? What happens to the currently existing Frisbee golf course? How will the nature center be impacted and made to be compatible with the sports fields? What impact does the methane migration have on these projects? 3 . How will the youth sports complex be paid for? It will take all of the existing Park Acquisition and Development Funds and probably more to build the sports complex. Are there alternative funding methods, such as state park bond monies, G.O. Bonds, or C.O.P. ' s that could be used? What priority is the sports complex in the capital improvements program? How will the city pay for the ongoing maintenance and operations costs? Can the youth sports complex generate any revenue to offset these costs? 4 . What must be done to get project approved under Measure C? A. The cost and time frame of a special election in June, 1991 , vs a general election in June or November, 1992, need to be analyzed. B. A comprehensive plan to gain community support for the project needs to be developed. C. Should the youth sports complex be combined with other projects at Central Park that will require Measure C approval? 5 . What will happen to Ocean View Little League if no youth sports complex is developed this year? The OVSD Superintendent indicates that Little League will have to be out of Rancho View School by the 1993 season. Park View School could serve as an interim site until the development of the youth sports complex at either Central Park or at Park View. PROPOSED COURSE OF ACTION Because of the circumstances and questions and issues stated above, staff is proposing the following course of action: 1 . Complete the Huntington Central Park master plan. Form a master plan committee, appointed by Council , made up of representatives of user groups, adjacent homeowners, commissioners, and staff. Set a time certain for the committee REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Page four to submit a final master plan report including citizens survey results to Council for approval at a public hearing. 2 . Analyze alternative site for the youth sports complex. Simultaneously with the Central Park master plan process, staff and the sports user groups should research the feasibility of using Park View School for the youth sports complex. 3 . Once location and cost estimates are completed, a funding plan should be developed for both development and ongoing operations. 4. After 1 , 2 and 3 above have been completed, a public hearing should be held to: a) approve the Central Park master plan b) approve the funding plan for the sports complex c) adopt the resolutions to put the project on the ballot pursuant to Measure C. 5. If Council approves the items in 4 above, a Central Park Measure C support committee should be established to work for successful passage of the Central Park master plan. FUNDING SOURCE No additional funds needed until Council approves final master plan for Central Park, at which times funds would need to be appropriated to hire a consultant to develop plans and specifications for the youth sports complex .

These funds would have to be appropriated from current General Fund reserves and Council would have to adopt special election resolutions. .

I appreciate the time you took to meet with me. I must tell you Ron, I came out of our meeting very enthused at our discussions. I feel, and I will communicate to our member groups, that we have a committed and persistent ally in City Hall. You appeared to have a firm grasp of nearly all the issues we've been dealing with the last eighteen months and, more importantly to us some strategies for accomplishing our goals. I am impressed! As I understood the summary of our discussions, you feel that a complete Master Plan for the development of the balance of Central Park must be accomplished in the Community mind before smaller component projects will ever be successfully accepted. As such, you are putting together the necessary information to take before the City Council, tentatively scheduled for the March 18 meeting, to put this process into motion. As a community, the Youth Sports Coalition will support you in this effort, including making comment before the Council. We very much want to be included i:: this process . Simultaneously, you will begin discussions with the Ocean View School District, and in the Rancho View case, Cal Mark Developers to explore a mutually beneficial development proposal for a permanent home for Ocean View Little League either at Rancho View or perhaps Park View School sites. Again, OVLL would very much want to be involved in these discussions to the extent you feel is appropriate.

RECOMMENDATION Approve the development concept in Huntington Central Park west ' of Golden West at Talbert of a swimming pool , recreation center with a multipurpose gymnasium that can accommodate a variety of sports and recreation activities AND a separate gymnastics center for gymnastics training and competition, as well as the, outdoor youth sports complex. ANALYSIS City Council took action on July 2 to approve an outdoor youth sports complex as part of the development concept for Huntington Central Park. There is a need to clarify with City Council the intended scope of the other facilities proposed. Council discussion has centered around three types of facilities. The first is a recreation center with a multipurpose gymnasium that can be used for a variety of sports and recreation activities. The second concept is a gymnastics center that would be used for the single purpose of gymnastics training and competition. A multipurpose gymnasium and a gymnastics center require different types of gymnasiums, but could share such facilities as locker rooms. The third concept is a swimming pool complex that could be used for lessons, recreational swimming, and by local swim teams. FUNDING SOURCE Not applicable. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Approve a concept that eliminates one or more of the facilities proposed in the recommendation. ATTACHMENTS / Location map. PIO 4/84 Huntington Central Park Proposed Site,.,.,::.

Over 900 competitors from California and Nevada competed. I also want to thank the City Council and City staff for their support, especially the staff from Community Services Department and Public Information Office that did the Cable tele- vision coverage. Mayor Mays, I am sure you have a feeling for the need and possibilities for a com- plex of swimming pools as part of the proposed Athletic Complex in Central Park. I am urging the City Council to consider is a complex of pools that will give Huntington Beach presetigious swimming facilities equivalent to or better than those currently enjoyed by our sister communities of Irvine, Mission Viejo, and most recently Pasadena with its new swimming complex at the Rose Bowl. In addition to the economic benefits that such a complex can generate in bed tax, sales tax, gas tax, etc, swimming is the most universal athletic activity on earth. Unlike soccer, its closest competitor, swimming is an activity in which people of all ages can participate for life whether it be competitively or just for recreation. For instance, The Golden West Swim Club has participants as young as 4 to 6 as well as some over 80 in its Master Program. Those in the Masters Program are mostly there for the "health of it." Yet some are still very competitive as evidenced by the num- ber of national records held by the Golden West Swim Club Master members. The Golden West Swim Club is but one dimension of the swimming activities in Huntington Beach. I believe our case illustrates the magnitude of the need in the com- munity. With over 300 swimmers, we struggle for sufficient access to pools. It is only through the graciousness of Golden West College and its relationship with local high schools that we have managed to date. However, our potential for future growth will be limited by this situation. I believe that Huntington Beach has a rare opportunity as part of its ongoing com- munity development to ensure that it has a full and complete set of recreational and competitive resources available to its citizens. The Central Park Athletic Complex is a worthy objective. Within that complex, the needs of a variety of sports must be accom- modated not only for our youth, but for citizens of all ages. We believe swimming to be an integral part of the well-being of this.community and we urge your serious consider- ation to include swimming facilities as part of this new Central Park Athletic Complex.

I am urging you to consider a pool complex that will give Huntington Beach swim- ming facilities equivalent to, or better than, those currently enjoyed by the communities of Irvine, Mission Viejo, and, most recently, Pasadena with its new swimming complex at the Rose Bowl. Swimming is the most universal athletic activity on earth. Unlike soccer, its closest competitor, swimming is an activity in which people of all ages can participate whether it be for recreation or competition. In addition to the economic benefits that such a complex can generate in bed tax, sales tax, gas tax, etc, I believe that Huntington Beach has a rare opportunity as part of its ongoing community development to ensure that it has a full and complete set of rec- reational and competitive resources available to its residents. The Central Park Athletic Complex is a worthy objective. Within that complex, the needs of a variety of sports must be accommodated not only for our youth, but for people of all ages. We believe swimming has been an integral part of the well-being of this community and we urge your serious consideration to continue the tradition by including_swimming facilities as part of this new Central Park Athletic Complex. The Golden West Swim Club would certainly be interested in working with the City to support and assist in hosting local, re- gional, state, national and international events at this complex.

Over 900 competitors from California and Nevada competed. I also want to thank the City Council and City staff for their support, especially the staff from Community Services Department and Public Information Office that did the Cable tele- vision coverage. Mayor Mays, I am sure you have a feeling for the need and possibilities for a com- plex of swimming pools as part of the proposed Athletic Complex in Central Park. I am urging the City Council to consider is a complex of pools that will give Huntington Beach presetigious swimming facilities equivalent to or better than those currently enjoyed by our sister communities of Irvine, Mission Viejo, and most recently Pasadena with its new swimming complex at the Rose Bowl. In addition to the economic benefits that such a complex can generate in bed tax, sales tax, gas tax, etc, swimming is the most universal athletic activity on earth. Unlike soccer, its closest competitor, swimming is an activity in which people of all ages can participate for life whether it be competitively or just for recreation. For instance, The Golden West Swim Club has participants as young as 4 to 6 as well as some over 80 in its Master Program. Those in the Masters Program are mostly there for the "health of it." Yet some are still very competitive as evidenced by the num- ber of national records held by the Golden West Swim Club Master members. The Golden West Swim Club is but one dimension of the swimming activities in Huntington Beach. I believe our case illustrates the magnitude of the need in the com- munity. With over 300 swimmers, we struggle for sufficient access to pools. It is only through the graciousness of Golden West College and its relationship with local high schools that we have managed to date. However, our potential for future growth will be limited by this situation.

The Golden West Swim . Club would certainly be interested in working with the City to support and assist in hosting local, re- gional, state, national and international events at this complex. I want to thank you for your consideration and efforts to.enchance our community. Sincerely, Address: August, 1990 Dear Honorable Mayor Mays and members of the City Council, As a permanent resident of Huntington Beach, I am writing you concerning the de- velopment of Central Park and to specifically request the athletic complex include swim- ming facilities appropriate for both the recreational and competitive aquatic needs of this community. I am urging you to consider a pool complex that will give Huntington Beach swim- ming facilities equivalent to, or better than, those currently enjoyed by the communities of Irvine, Mission Viejo, and, most recently, Pasadena with its new swimming complex at the Rose Bowl. Swimming is the most universal athletic activity on earth. Unlike soccer, its closest competitor, swimming is an activity in which people of all ages can participate whether it be for recreation or competition. In addition to the economic benefits that such a complex can generate in bed tax, sales tax, gas tax, etc, I believe that Huntington Beach has a rare opportunity as part of its ongoing community development to ensure that it has a full and complete set of rec- reational and competitive resources available to its residents.

Sincerely, ,_,-,R2 005SV,4LE Cl Address: HyA1T/^4�7DIJ �3E/fal August, 1990 Dear Mayor Mays and Members of the City Council, As a member of the Golden west Swim Club Support Group, I want to thank you Mayor Mays for taking time from your busy schedule to participate in the Southern California Swimming Long Course Junior Olympics Championships hosted by our Club this week. Over 900 competitors from California and Nevada competed. I also want to thank the City Council and City staff for their support, especially the staff from Community Services Department and Public Information Office that did the Cable tele- vision coverage. Mayor Mays, I am sure you have a feeling for the need and possibilities for a com- plex of swimming pools as part of the proposed Athletic Complex in Central Park. I am urging the City Council to consider is a complex of pools that will give Huntington Beach presetigious swimming facilities equivalent to or better than those currently enjoyed by our sister communities of Irvine, Mission Viejo, and most recently Pasadena with its new swimming complex at the Rose Bowl. In addition to the economic benefits that such a complex can generate in bed tax, sales tax, gas tax, etc, swimming is the most universal athletic activity on earth. Unlike soccer, its closest competitor, swimming is an activity in which people of all ages can participate for life whether it be competitively or just for recreation. For instance, The Golden West Swim Club has participants as young as 4 to 6 as well as some over 80 in its Master Program. Those in the Masters Program are mostly there for the "health of it." Yet some are still very competitive as evidenced by the num- ber of national records held by the Golden West Swim Club Master members. The Golden West Swim Club is but one dimension of the swimming activities in Huntington Beach. I believe our case illustrates the magnitude of the need In the com- munity. With over 300 swimmers, we struggle for sufficient access to pools. It is only through the graciousness of Golden West College and its relationship with local high schools that we have managed to date. However, our potential for future growth will be limited by this situation. I believe that Huntington Beach has a rare opportunity as part of its ongoing com- munity development to ensure that it has a full and complete set of recreational and competitive resources available to its citizens.

Over 900 competitors from California and Nevada competed. I also want to thank the City Council and City staff for their support, especially the staff from Community Services Department and Public Information Office that did the Cable tele- vision coverage. Mayor Mays, I am sure you have a feeling for the need and possibilities for a com- plex of swimming pools as part of the proposed Athletic Complex in Central Park.. am urging the City Council to consider is a complex of pools that will give Huntington Beach presetigious swimming facilities equivalent to or better than those currently enjoyed by our sister communities of Irvine, Mission Viejo, and most recently = Pasadena with its new swimming complex at the Rose Bowl. In addition to the economic benefits that such a complex can generate in bed tax, sales tax, gas tax, etc, swimming is the most universal athletic activity on earth. Unlike soccer, its closest competitor, swimming is an activity in which people of all ages can participate for life whether it be competitively or just for recreation. For instance, The Golden West Swim Club has participants as young as 4 to 6 as well as some over 60 In Its MEastor Program. Those In the Masters Program era moutly there for the "health of it." Yet some are still very competitive as evidenced by the num- ber of national records held by the Golden West Swim Club Master members. The Golden West Swim Club is but one' dimension of the swimming activities in Huntington Beach. I believe our case illustrates the magnitude of the need in the com- munity. With over 300 swimmers, we struggle for sufficient access to pools. It is only through the graciousness of Golden West College and its relationship with local high schools that we have managed to date. However, our potential for future growth will be limited by this situation. I believe that Huntington Beach has a rare opportunity as part of its ongoing com- munity development to ensure that it has a full and complete set of recreational and competitive resources available to its citizens. The Central Park Athletic Complex is a worthy objective. Within that complex, the needs of a variety of sports must be accom- modated not only for our youth, but for citizens of all ages. We believe swimming to be an integral part of the well-being of this community and we urge your serious consider- ation to include swimming facilities as part of this new Central Park Athletic Complex. Thank you for yoyr-colsidera 'on of this need.

We believe swimming to be an integral part of the well-being of this community and we urge your serious consider- ation to include swimming facilities as part of this new Central Park Athletic Complex. Thank you for your consideration of this need. Sincerely, < August, 1990 Dear Mayor Mays and Members of the City Council, As a member of the Golden west Swim Club Support Group, I want to thank you Mayor Mays for taking time from your busy schedule to participate in the Southern California Swimming Long Course Junior Olympics Championships hosted by our Club this week. Over 900 competitors from California and Nevada competed. I also want to thank the City Council and City staff for their support, especially the staff from Community Services Department and Public Information Office that did the Cable tele- vision coverage. Mayor Mays, I am sure you have a feeling for the need and possibilities for a com- plex of swimming pools as part of the proposed Athletic Complex in Central Park. I am urging the City Council to consider is a complex of pools that will give Huntington Beach presetigious swimming facilities equivalent to or better than those currently enjoyed by our sister communities of Irvine, Mission Viejo, and most recently Pasadena with its new swimming complex at the Rose Bowl. In addition to the economic benefits that such a complex can generate in bed tax, sales tax, gas tax, etc, swimming is the most universal athletic activity on earth. Unlike soccer, its closest competitor, swimming is an activity in which people of all ages can participate for life whether it be competitively or just for recreation. For instance, The Golden West Swim Club has participants as young as 4 to 6 as well as some over 80 in its Master Program. Those in the Masters Program are mostly there for the "health of it." Yet some are still very competitive as evidenced by the num- ber of national records held by the Golden West Swim Club Master members. The Golden West Swim Club is but one dimension of the swimming activities in Huntington Beach. I believe our case illustrates the magnitude of the need in the com- munity. With over 300 swimmers, we struggle for sufficient access to pools. It is only through the graciousness of Golden West College and its relationship with local high schools that we have managed to date.

RECOMMENDATION 1. Direct staff and the Community Services Commission to work with the organizations involved to do an in-depth analysis of the youth sports complex and Southern California Acro Team (SCATS) gymnastics facility within Huntington Central Park; and 2 . Direct staff to proceed with a general obligation bond for Huntington Central Park Alternative II in the amount of c c $22, 230,000 (Attachment 5, Alternative Bonding Levels) . z N : ANALYSIS .2-'n r YOUTH SPORTS COMPLEX AND SCATS GYMNASTICS FACILITY: h, �`'rn�'", At its June 4, 1990 meeting, City Council directed staff to review potential sites within Huntington Central Park for an o _•, outdoor youth sports complex and a SCATS gymnastics facility. The possibility of including those facilities with a community center was also noted. Attachment 1 gives pros and cons for four areas within HCP. A definite recommendation cannot be made until an in-depth analysis is made of the youth organizations' needs and commitment of manpower and money for development and maintenance, along with site constraints, such as methane gas, mobile homes, land settling, oil well abandonment, and the impact of these on available acreage at each site. Also, the impact of a complex on each site has to be determined. This includes overflow lights on surrounding residential , errant baseballs on traffic and horses, and parking requirements. Based on Daryl Smith' s June 4, 1990 memo (Attachment 2 ) , the issue of a multi- use sports complex also needs to be evaluated as to feasibility. a . PIO 4/84 N July 2, 1990 Page two . Ocean View Little League desires to use the site on the west side of Golden West and Talbert. It is currently planned for passive/ picnic area with additional parking and rest rooms to help alleviate existing problems on the already developed parkland immediately to the west. Changing the proposed use from passive to active will have to be evaluated based on the above concerns and Council direction to continue the passive/picnic theme on this sixteen acres as demonstrated by its direction to staff to apply for three grants for this site to be passive/picnic. The grants received total $1 .1 million; projected development cost is approximately $2 million. There is also an element of the community that desires this property to be passive/picnic. The 1986 and 1988 surveys had passive park with picnic and tot play equipment as the top choice. GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND: At its June 25, 1990 meeting, City Council directed staff to explore alternatives for a general obligation bond. A report was also requested regarding the potential of a bond and a timeline for the steps involved in preparing a bond for the November election. An assessment bond which is a possible alternative to the general obligation bond is also discussed in Mr. Franz ' s memo (Attachment 4) . Council is presented with several development scenarios with associated costs. Staff is recommending Alternative II because it creates primarily a passive park while providing modes of active recreation to meet the desires of several special interest groups and a wider spectrum of the community. The costs incorporated into these alternatives are estimates. It will be necessary to have a detailed cost analysis of each project prepared before the city goes to the public with a bond measure. Also, an environmental review of Huntington Central Park has been prepared. The review period will - have to be extended so that the alternative chosen ,by City Council can be included.

Engle City Administrator Acting Direct Community Ser ces Subject Youth Sports Complex Date June 20, 1990 Pursuant to City Council direction at its June 4 meeting, possible locations within Huntington Central Park are herein evaluated as potential sites for the proposed youth sports complex. This complex is defined by the youth sports organizations as six lighted baseball fields, four lighted soccer/football fields, a 1 , 500 square foot rest room/snack bar building , and a 149 space parking lot. Ocean View Little League is the lead organization, but other local little leagues, Junior All American Football , and American Youth Soccer Organization Regions are also involved. Councilman Silva also requested that staff include an evaluation of the potential for a gymnastics building of 20, 000 to 30, 000 square feet for Southern California Athletic Training Society ( SCATS) . There was also mention of a community center at the Council meeting. This report evaluates areas of the park that are not developed currently. It deals with the physical requirements of a proposed site. An in-depth study would be needed of the youth sports complex, including commitments from all parties (financial , manpower, etc. ) relative to development and maintenance; existing uses for specific areas that are currently proposed (e.g. mobile homes, open/passive/picnic, etc.. ) ; and site problems of methane gas, water quality, and oil well -abandonment.. There are four potential sites within the park that are examined. They are a sixteen acre area west of Golden West at Talbert (Alternative A) , the southwest corner of Talbert and Gothard (Alternative B) , the northeast corner of Golden West and Ellis , known as the mushroom farm (Alternative C) , and the northwest corner of Golden West and Ellis, known as the A. C. Marion property (Alternative D) . There are other potential sites within the park, but they have major grading or methane gas problems . Currently developed land is not included in the analysis . The points listed below are from the Community. Services Commission and/or staff. Alternative A - Sixteen acres west of Golden West at Talbert Pros : 1 . Within lower basin area, with a bowl effect so as to protect fields from wind and reduce number of errant balls . 2 . The sixteen acres would meet the size requirements for the outdoor sports complex as proposed by the groups , though parking may still have to be addressed as an additional area required for that purpose. June 20, 1990 Page two 3 . The stoplight at Golden West and Talbert would assist in providing traffic ingress/egress to the site. Cons: 1 . It is perceived that the general public views this site as a continuation of the existing passive/picnic area that is currently developed to the west of this site. 2 . Commission feels that this use is too intense compared to the surrounding park uses and, therefore, incompat- ible. 3 . Staff has $1 .1 million in grants to develop the site as passive/picnic. This park scheme would cost over $1 . 9 million. The state would probably give the city permission to change the project to active sports but this would have to be determined by the state. 4 . The passive/picnic design includes additional parking and rest rooms to alleviate existing problems on the currently developed area west of this site. On busy weekends , park patrons now park their vehicles in the residential area. 5. Overflow lighting from a sports complex could nega- tively impact residents to the west and north of the site. 6 . There would be insufficient space for a gymnastics building and its associated parking on this site if it were developed as an outdoor sports complex without expanding the site to include currently developed parkland. Naturally, there would be sufficient area for the gymnastics complex if the site were not used for the outdoor sports complex. Alternative B - Southwest of Talbert and Gothard Pros: 1 . Overflow lighting should not be a problem in this primarily industrial area, though shields may be re- quired on some of the lights if a mobile home park were developed on the southwest portion of the quartersection. 2 . The site is the city' s controlled landfill , so methane gas should not be a direct problem. There may be some methane gas mitigation to address if additional acreage to the west of the current landfill is needed to provide the necessary overall acreage for a sports complex . June 20, 1990 Page three 3. There are 206 spaces at the Central Library' s over- flow parking lot south of Talbert. This reduces the acreage needed and the development costs because less or no parking would be needed. Exact parking re- quirements of the sports complex and Phase I of the library expansion would have to be analyzed if both projects were to come on line. 4 . The Class III landfill will still settle and open sports fields are a good use for such a site. Edison Community Park has softball fields on a landfill . 5 . The site is not immediately adjacent to the existing passive park and should, therefore, reduce the amount of public resistance to this development. 6 . Errant balls would not go out onto Golden West which is the main arterial to be widened with an additional lane of traffic each way. Of course, the site would have to be designed in such a way to minimize balls flying onto Talbert or Gothard. Cons: 1 . The snack bar and rest room building would have some location limitations on the site due to the settling but the building should be feasible adjacent to Gothard and Talbert where firmer land would be avail- able. 2 . Exact acreage available would have to be determined based on county landfill dimensions and migration of methane gas. Further analysis of site would be needed. 3 . Gymnastics building and outdoor sports complex pro- bably would not both fit on this site. Further analysis as noted in 2 above would be required. Alternative C - Mushroom Farm Pros: 1 . Up to 25 acres are available if existing mobile homes are relocated and Driftwood Mobile Home Park is not relocated here. 2 . Site is big enough for outdoor sports complex , gymnas- tics building, and community center with swimming pool . June 20 , 1990 Page four 3. Site facilities. would be designed so that sports lighting does not impact proposed residential south of Ellis, i.e. , construct buildings on south portion and ball fields on north section. 4. Would create an "active recreation" mode, especially with a community center on the southern edge of the park and not impact existing HCP acres that are primarily open/passive/picnic. This would greatly multiple the number and types of recreational opportunities available to the community at this park. 5 . Site not immediately adjacent to existing passive park and should, therefore, reduce the amount of public resistance to this development. 6. There is a traffic signal at Ellis and Golden West to facilitate ingress/egress of traffic . Cons : 1 . There is some migration of methane onto the northern section of the mushroom farm. This would have to be addressed in the design through location of buildings on the southern half of the area. 2. The issue of errant balls onto Golden West would have to be addressed through the design process. Alternative D - Former Marion property and adjacent area Pros: 1 . Gymnastics building and parking would fit on this area along with a community center with swimming pool OR the outdoor sports complex could use this site with some grading required to the west of the Marion property. All facilities would not fit on this site. 2. There is a traffic signal at Ellis and Golden West to facilitate ingress/egress of traffic. Cons: 1 . Gymnastics building and outdoor sports complex would not both fit on this site without a considerable amount of grading and fill . 2 . Sports complex would run along Ellis and,. therefore, be across the street from homes . Overflow. sports lighting would impact residents . June 20, 1990 Page five 3 . The liability issue of errant baseballs and traffic would have to be addressed. 4. As in 3 above, the liability issue with regard to errant balls hitting horses at the equestrian center and on park trails would have to be addressed. Alternate Locations: Huntington Central Park was evaluated at the specific request of City Council . The city could also address alternative sites. ( 1 ) There are closed schools that could house an outdoor sports complex and a gymnastics center. There are examples of cities going into partnership with school districts to create youth sports complexes. ( 2) The H.B. City School District has asked the city to consider joint use and renovation of the City Gym and Pool . Expansion of this facility could include a gymnastics center with a sharing of locker rooms and showers by the city, school and gymnastics center. ( 3 ) Langenbeck Park encompasses eighteen acres. It could serve the neighborhood and Ocean View Little League, but there would be insufficient acreage for an entire youth sports complex. Conclusion - Each site has positive and negative points. There are also variables that need to be addressed regarding the projects (outdoor sports complex, gymnastics center and/or community center with pool ) before an in-depth analysis can be made and a final site selected. The concept needs to be pinned down. Some of the negative points of the alternatives can at least be partially mitigated in the design process, but this can't be done until the specifics of the project are determined. The Community Services Commission has offered its services as an advisory group to help analyze sites and to assist with the design of the project if that is City Council ' s desire. But, Commission feels that prior to that task, City Council needs to define the scope of the project -- outdoor sports complex and/or gymnastics center and/or community center with pool .

Smith, Superintendent Community Services Park, Tree and Landscape Division Subject Proposed Sports Complex in Date June 4, 1990 Huntingtpn Central Park Per your request, please find below my comments regarding subject matter as it relates to maintenance and overall feasibility. Feasibility After review of the site plan, I believe the proposal is to ambitious and it will not be possible to satisfactorily meet the intended functional uses and demands of the users. our experience in parks such as; Edison Park, Worthy Park and Murdy Park, has shown there are tremendous conflicts of use and interest between soccer/football and those of softball/baseball. Overlap of fields simply does not work. We had to install a six (6) foot high chain link fence around the perimeter of the softball fields at Edison Park to stop damage to outfield caused by soccer/football leagues. Because of overlap in user seasons and an almost continuous (12 months) of play by both soccer and softball, there is no time to maintain the fields or rehabilitate both out fields and infields of the ball diamonds. My recommendation is that only the baseball/softball fields be placed in the proposed location. Should it be necessary that all programs be located in the proposed area, the fields should be located and developed so as not to overlap, but be independent of each other. This recommendation will require a new and less intense design. Maintenance The contractual agreement between the parties should require that the leasee be responsible for all maintenance and liability of the leased property, including any buildings and/or restrooms. It is almost impossible to maintain a facility of this size and nature when others are managing/controlling the functional use of the complex. We do not have a specific ball field maintenance program as I perceive this complex will require. Therefore, I have called the City of Anaheim, and had telephone con- versations with Purkiss-Rose Associates, Landscape Architects. All indications are that softball/baseball fields will cost approximately $15,000 per year/per field, to operate. The football/soccer fields will cost approximately $8,000 per year/ per field to operate. (This maintenance cost is for fields which do not overlap. ) Memorandum to Jim Engle June 4, 1990 Page Two i I believe the general proposal for the sports complex is great, however, the site requested is not large enough for the programs as proposed. I suggest the area on the east side of Golden West/ south of Talbert would be a better site if the methane gas problem can be resolved. A study of soil conditions, etc, should be worth while, based on community needs for the proposed complex. In past memorandums to prior Directors of Community Services, I suggested the City could pay for installation of lights or other improvements necessary, on existing ball diamonds located at school sites. We already do this for soccer programs. As I remember, there was a report some years ago that identified over (100) sport fields in the City of Huntington Beach. The tax payers have paid for the school property and existing improvements; "why not leverage that investment with additional improvement costs and satisfy some of the identified needs and request for ball fields?" Should you have any questions regarding the above, please call me. DDS:ss cc: Louis Sandoval Jim Jones o ATTACHMENT 3 • Ocean View Little, League Y ' Post Office Box 1033 Huntington Beach, California 92647 Honorable Councilman Don MacAllister City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92647 May 21, 1990 Good Evening Councilman Don MacAllister: Thank you for taking your time to read and listen to our proposal for the creation of a new Youth Sports Complex for all the citizens of Huntington Beach. Although the letterhead on this sheet may say Ocean View Little League, we bring this proposal before you as representatives of twelve different organized Youth Sports organizations currently serving all the youth of Huntington Beach. In total, we represent over five thousand kids and their ten thousand parents. The proposal before you is a result of over one year of intense and unprecedented planning and cooperation of these Youth Sport organizations with just one goal. . . .to make Huntington Beach a better place to grow up and live. We hope that you will find our proposal well conceived and to the best of our abilities and resources, well planned. "But most of all, we sincerely hope that you will agree with us that in an environment of higher crime, lower test scores and the necessity of "Just Say No" , Youth Sports is the one outlet that all kids can participate in for enjoyment and health while becoming better citizens in our community. Again, thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Tom Duchene Vice President Ocean View Little League i C PROPOSED PROJECT OVERVIEW For over thirty years organized Youth Sports have been a part of Huntington Beach life. Little' League Baseball, Youth Football, American Youth Soccer Association, Senior League Baseball. . .all of these and more have been the fabric of growing up in our beautiful city. Traditionally, these youth activities have been self funded and independent for the most part from City responsibility and control. Site availability was generally worked out between the Youth Organization and our fine school districts: This arrangement worked out pretty well for almost three generations of Huntington Beach Youth, many of which are parents involved in Youth Sports today with their own children. However, as we enter the 19901s, the landscape of Huntington Beach has changed dramatically. No longer a sleepy beach city, we boast current "youth" population approaching 80,000. And as we've grown, much of the open space we once boasted has been developed. Fortunately, our city fathers forsaw our future needs and established a city park system that, even through today's council, is the envy of every community in Orange County. The jewel of this forward thinking crown is our own Central Park. As Huntington Beach has grown, so have our Youth Sports organizations. In 1990 over 10 ,000 kids in our community will �... participate in organized Youth Sport groups. Unfortunately, playing site availability in our community have not kept pace with the growth. With school sites closing and being developed and general lowered expectations in the post-Proposition 13 era, our Youth Sports programs have reached a crises stage. In this environment, a number of Youth Sports organizations have joined together to find solutions to the pressing need of more playing sites. These groups include: Ocean View Little League - Robinwood Little League Huntington Valley Little League Seaview Little League District 62 Senior Little League American Youth Soccer Assoc. Area K AYSO Regions 143 & 156 Huntington Beach Jr. All American Football League. With cooperation never before seen in our community, these groups tonight propose a new, centralized Youth Sports Complex to serve all Huntington Beach Youth and all citizens of our community. i i SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The Youth Sports Complex we propose to be located on appx. 17 acres of presently undeveloped land in Central Park. The specific site is a former non-organic land fill on Go�denwest Street at the Talbert Intersection. It is bordered on three sides by existing .developed parkland and is at least �00 yards from any private home or business with mature tree growth screening the entire area. The site itself is a natural amphitheater that leads itself very well to athletic playing fields. The site access is quite good from Goldenwest. The coalition of Youth Sports Organizations proposing the complex have retained the services of a noted landscape architect and municipal planner, Heimberger Hirsch and Associates, who have made an initial site plan design (Addendum A) . HHA has been instrumental in developing over fifty four municipal parks, including twelve Youth Sports Complexes similar to our proposal. Our goal is to create a first class sports complex that every citizen can take pride in. With such a facility, Huntington Beach Sports Groups will be able to host area, regional, statewide and perhaps even national events that will bring positive notoriety and business to our community. As you can see from the proposed site plan, more than E adequate parking has been taken into account. The latest technology employed in the choices of playing surfaces, irrigations systems, public use design and lighting. Modern recreational land use techniques have been designed to take advantage' of three major field sports on one single,. compact location. 7 Public facilities include a 1500 square foot restroom/snack concession building. This building could easily be expanded into a full sized community center to serve the needs of all the citizens in. our community, including those in the soon to be developed Mobil Home Park and Holly-Seacliff residential areas. Even the needs of young children attending athletic events with their families have been accounted for with the inclusion of a small child play area. We strongly feel that inclusion of a community complex such as this in our Central Park will actually increase the usage of this beautiful facility as families explore other areas of the park such as the Nature Center, Frisbee Golf Course, etc. In short, more Huntington Beach citizens will discover the joys of spending "a day in the park" . t i.: PROPOSED FACILITY FUNDING & MANAGEMENT As currently proposed, the cost of developing the Youth Sports Complex is estimated at between $1.5 million and $ 2. 0 million, exclusive of land cost. In the post-Proposition 13 era s thi s is indeed a very significant cost. However, our coalition of Youth Organizations have come up with a variety of funding options. The first of course is our own organization fund raising abilities. In addition, we've explored funding sources from private non-profit organizations such as the Orange County Sports Hall of Fame, as well as public monies available through the County of Orange and theoffices of Supervisor Harriet Weider. Developers doing business in Huntington Beach are another potential funding resource. An initial pledge from Cal Mark Development Corporation has already been received. Finally,' a more traditional funding resource originally used by our City Fathers to fund the aquisition and development of present Central Park might also be used. This resource is a Public Bond issue put before the citizens of Huntington Beach as a ballot measure. We propose that the Youth Sport Complex be managed by a bi- partisan commission made up of members of each of the participating entities, as well as council and staff . participation. The goal of this commission will be to manage and maintain this facility at little or no cost of the City. CONCLUSION In closing, we offer the Huntington Beach City Council an opportunity to make our community a better place to live and serve the pressing needs of Youth Sports by allowing the Huntington Beach Youth Sports Complex to be developed on City owned land in Central Park. We offer ourselves, our efforts and our boundless energy to . improve the quality of life for all of us in Huntington Beach. Thank you for your consideration.

FRANZ City Administrator Deputy City Administrator Subject BALLOT MEASURE - Date JUNE 27, 1990 GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND This memorandum will outline a time schedule for placing a measure on the November 6, 1990 ballot for voter approval of General Obligation Bond, as well as other factors regarding a potential G.O. Bond measure. TIME SCHEDULE We must file a request with the County at least eighty-eight (88) days prior to the election, or by August 10, 1990. This is to consolidate with the County election. Since an ordinance is required, the City must have the second reading of the ordinance by August 10, 1990 ordering the submission to the voters of the City of the proposition of using bonds for the specific municipal improvements. Following is a schedule that would meet this deadline. July 2. 1990 - Council approves projects to be included on ballot measure and requests staff to proceed with necessary actions to place on November 6, 1990 ballot. July 17. 1990 - Planning Commission (and subsequently the City Council) is required to determine whether the proposed projects are properly consolidated into a single plan for submission to the voters. This Government Code requirement is vague but is apparently intended to insure that multiple projects on a ballot measure are part of a coordinated "City Plan". July 23. 1990 - (No later than 7/30/90), City Council Meeting (Special Meeting). After the Planning Commission action, the. Council can adopt: (1) a resolution describing the improvements and declaring necessity to issue bonds (required to be adopted by 2/3 vote). We previously advised that only a majority vote was necessary, however, Bond Counsel has rioted that the resolution of intention requires 2/3 vote. (2) have the first reading of the Ordinance calling bond election and ordering that it be consolidated with the general election. August 6. 1990 - (No later than 8/10/90) regular Council Meeting: Second reading of the ordinance and adoption of resolution pertaining to conduct of election. The above information was obtained from the Bond Counsel firm of Jones, Hall, Hill and White. SUCCESS MODEL - VOTER-APPROVED BOND MEASURES We have been working with the consultant firm of Kelling, Northcross and Nobriga, Inc. (KNN) as financial advisor on the Waterfront Financing Project. This firm also has extensive experience working with cities on general obligation and other voter approved ballot measures. I discussed with KNN the City's investigation of placing a ballot measure on the November 1990 ballot for voter approval of the General Obligation Bond Measure. BALLOT MEASURE - GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND They have advised of the following steps that they have seen utilized by cities in successful General Obligation (G.O.) Bond Measures where voter approval of 66.7% or greater has been obtained: 1. Timing - Cities where there have been successful G.O. bond measures approved by the voters have normally started at least a year prior to the vote in planning for the bond measure. 2. Pre Ballot Measure Analysis - Most successful G.O. bond measures have started with the hiring of a consultant to do an opinion poll that will answer two critical questions as follows: a) What projects will the voters support? b) How much are the voters willing to pay for the projects? 3. Sizing - Once information is obtained from the opinion poll as described in#2, the City decides the size of the bond measure to be presented for voter approval. KNN has advised that bond measures with an average annual cost to the homeowners of less than $10 can normally obtain 2/3 approval. Conversely, measures with an average annual cost greater than $50 are normally defeated regardless of the public's support for specific projects. Given supportable projects, an average annual cost of $25 to $40 has a good chance of success. In Huntington Beach, assuming an average assessed value of $200,000 this would mean a $15 to $20 million bond measure would have good chance of approval if it is for projects the public supports. 4. Facilities - As indicated, successful G.O. bond measures typically finance only those facilities for which the opinion poll has shown a high level of community support. There have been only a few successful parks and recreation facilities G.O. bond measures. The cities of L.A. and San Francisco have obtained 2/3 voter support for library facilities, but those bond issues and a recent bond issue in south Orange County are exceptions to the general rule that a 2/3 approval is extremely difficult to obtain on parks and recreation or library facilities bond measures. KNN has advised that including several improvement projects in the bond measure can create synergistic support from a variety of support groups. Sometimes, however, the support groups "split" and do not work enthusiastically due to projects being included that they do not wholeheartedly support. S. Campaign Manager - Cities with successful G.O. bond measure approval have usually hired a professional campaign manager to assist during the months prior to the vote. Although KNN advises this is not always an extensive or expensive part of the process, it is extremely helpful to have a professional manager to assist the City in getting the correct materials prepared and distributed. 6. Type of Election - Conventional wisdom on-whether to conduct a bond measure at a general or special election has changed over the years. Special elections are now considered to be the most successful approach in terms of gaining the 2/3 approval necessary for passage of a G.O. bond measure. Although this adds to the expense of placing this question before the voters, the likelihood of success is enhanced. -2- BALLOT MEASURE - GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES KNN has also been involved with cities who have issued bonds for financing public facilities using an alternative to the general obligation bonds. This 'alternative involves obtaining an advisory vote from the public on the issuance of Assessment Bonds under the 1972 Street Lighting and Landscaping Act. If the advisory vote is successful in gaining majority approval of the voters, then the city proceeds with the establishment of a city-wide assessment district for the improvements. (Again, this process typically involves opinion polls prior to placement of the measure on the ballot.) Notices must be published, public hearings are held, and then protests are heard. Although there may be large public hearings and vocal opponents to the levying of an assessment and establishment of the City-wide assessment district, the city also has the public input from the advisory vote to consider in terms of the decision to establish the district or not. This model is becoming more common in cities. Another alternative is for a majority-vote increase in excise taxes, followed by City issuance of Certificates of Participation. Examples of excise taxes include utility taxes, taxes on garbage collection, etc. For example, the City of San Ramon had an election to raise a surcharge on the gas and electric bill sent out by PG & E: The City of Vacaville recently passed an increase in various excise taxes to finance library improvements. Please let me know if you would like any further information on this subject. Btlltl.

ALTERNATIVE II - This is a new approach to the design of the park since the last master planning of the park in 1988 . The aquatic complex is reduced to an indoor or outdoor swimming pool with the intent to possibly close the City Gym and Pool , which is on leased land ( short term lease) , transfer the staff to this community center/pool , and continue with the program of swim lessons and recreational swim instead of creating a full competition aquatic complex. Also, this scheme creates natural areas with trees and paths instead of the passive areas with grass, picnic and tot play areas, "thereby requiring less methane mitigation. There would be a grass buffer with meandering paths on the perimeter to improve the aesthetics of these two areas. The 16 acres west of Golden West at Talbert would continue the theme of the surrounding area by being passive/picnic area with grass, parking and rest rooms.

BOND Date JUNE 22, 1990 ON BALLOT To place a General Obligation Bond proposal on the November 6, 1990 ballot, the following is required. 1. We must file a request with the County at least eighty—eight (88) days prior to the election, or by August 10, 1990. This is to consolidate with the County election. Therefore, the City must have the second reading of the ordinance by August 10, 1990 ordering the submission to the voters of the City of the proposition of using bonds for the specific municipal improvements. 2. Because our issue is for multiple facilities, Government Code Section 43603 requires that the plan goes to the Planning Commission to declare that it is part of a common plan. 3. After the Planning Commission declaration, the Council can make its declaration, pass a resolution determining the public interest of the improvements, and have the first reading of the Ordinance at the same meeting. 4. State law permits placement of such an issue on the ballot by a majority vote of the City Council. I know of no City Charter requirement that would require more than a majority vote. 5. There is a regularly scheduled Council Meeting on August 6, 1990 which is the latest time which the second reading of the ordinance could occur. All other actions would need to be included in July meetings. This information was obtained from our Bond Counsel firm of Jones, Hall, Hill and White. Attached is a projection of the cost to the taxpayers of a General Obligation Bond Issue assuming three different size of issues. OBERT .

Uberuaga From Jim B. Engle City Administrator Acting Directfce Community Ser Subject Potential Bond Projects Date June 22, 1990 Per your request, I am. providing you with a list of potential city projects that could be included in a general obligation bond. As we discussed in our meeting of Junk 20 , this list is limited to the pier, library, and Huntington Central Park. As supplemental information, the appropriate Huntington Central Park items from the budget are attached. They include brief descriptions of these proposed park projects. The cost of methane gas mitigation is unknown until a development scheme is identified. The potential bond projects list includes a figure of $10, 200, 000 which is a maximum anticipated cost if park, golf, .or sports fields are developed. The Klienfelder study gives a range of $9, 400, 000 to $10, 200 , 000 for open turf areas, such as park or golf. Due to ongoing discussions about the pier and library, you are aware of the scope of these projects and, therefore, did not request descriptions of these. The only exception to that is the new information regarding the possibility of having to retrofit the existing library with sprinklers. We -are meeting with Fire Department staff now, but anticipate needing to do this as part of the expansion at some point in time. Please note that many of the cost figures herein are estimates, though most of these estimatesare made by architects, landscape architects or engineers. More specific figures are not possible until a detailed cost analysis is prepared on each project. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
