The firm RJM Design Group, Inc. has prepared a comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master plan for the City's parks and facilities, which is presented for Council review and approval. Financial Impact: Adoption of the Plan does not authorize immediate expenditures. Implementation will occur through future budget processes and capital project approvals. Funding strategies include Park Impact Fees, developer contributions, grants, and public-private partnerships. Recommended Action: Adopt the 2025 Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update as the City's strategic planning roadmap for parks, recreation, and open space planning with the direction to have the Plan reviewed by the Community & Library Services Commission every five years. Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: The City of Huntington Beach Parks and Recreation Master Plan (Plan) Update (2025) serves as the City's guide and implementation tool for the next 10-15 years of park, facility, and program development within the City's boundaries. This update builds upon the foundation of the 2016 Master Plan and integrates the community engagement, facility inventories, and demographic analyses conducted in 2021 and 2024. City of Huntington Beach Page 1 of 3 Printed on 11/12/2025 powered by LegistarT" 144 File #: 25-872 MEETING DATE: 11/18/2025 The updated plan reflects extensive community participation, including: • Over 3,000 community interactions through surveys, workshops, and interviews • A statistically valid multimodal community survey representing all neighborhoods • Input from 21 sports organizations, community stakeholders, and advisory commissions The plan identifies top program priorities such as affordable and inclusive programming, senior and fitness opportunities, beach-based activities, and top facility priorities including pickleball courts, trail connectivity, open space preservation, playground renovations, and aquatic facilities. The 2025 Master Plan emphasizes the following key goals and strategies: • Equitable Access: Ensure all residents have access to high-quality parks and recreation services within a 10-minute walk • Sustainability and Stewardship: Enhance the City's open space network, native habitats, and tree canopy • Active Living and Wellness: Expand facilities and programs promoting fitness and health across generations • Community Partnerships: Strengthen joint-use agreements with schools and partnerships with nonprofits and private operators • Fiscal Responsibility: Prioritize capital investments through a phased, data-driven approach aligned with community demand and available funding In alignment with the General Plan (2017) and Environmental Resources and Conservation Element, the 2025 Master Plan provides a coordinated framework for land use, recreation, and mobility planning. It also complements related efforts such as the Huntington Beach Mobility Implementation Plan (HB in Motion) and the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The Plan builds on previous planning efforts and provides an up-to-date understanding of the current and future recreation and program needs, as well as and opportunities for parks and other open space and undeveloped areas within the City. While the Plan is intended to be flexible as the City responds to changes in needs and City priorities, it will serve as a tool in developing the annual CIP list.

This document represents a summary of extensive community input, investigations, and professional analysis. The culminating result is a community inspired plan for the future of parks and recreation in Huntington Beach. The Master Plan Update Process The Master Plan Update process began with a comprehensive review of the 2016 Master Plan and a strategic selection of key elements for inclusion in the 2021 update. This update focused on evaluating the City's existing parks, recreation facilities, programs, and other recreational opportunities to gain a thorough KK understanding of available resources. In 2021 , innovative methods were employed to engage the community, including crowd-sourcing and virtual communication strategies. A combination of qualitative consensus-building techniques and quantitative, statistically valid surveys provided a well-rounded perspective, establishing a clear "community voice." This community voice shaped the facility and program priorities for recreation development. These priorities were carefully assessed alongside facility usage patterns, local recreation standards, and population projections, resulting in a data-driven foundation for determining the facilities required to meet community needs and for shaping recommendations for future recreation development. The 2021 update reflected the evolving needs of the Huntington Beach community, emphasizing the importance of thoughtful planning and active engagement. In 2024, the City further advanced the Master Plan by updating critical components, including a detailed inventory of parks and facilities, current demographic trends, updated sports organization surveys, and strategic capital improvement planning. Through this iterative process, Huntington Beach demonstrates its commitment to meeting the community's evolving needs and aspirations while delivering a vibrant, high-quality parks and recreation system. These efforts enhance quality of life and highlight the essential role of parks and recreation in promoting health, wellness, and community connection. Huntington Beach Recreation Resources The City of Huntington Beach owns, manages, and maintains 79 parks, encompassing 737.44 acres of developed parkland. Since the original Parks and Recreation Master Plan was established in 2016, the City has made significant strides in enhancing its parks and recreation offerings. These include the completion of the 37,563-square-foot Senior Center in Central Park, the addition of popular pickleball courts at Worthy Park, trail enhancements at Bartlett Park, practice soccer fields with lighting at Murdy Park, and the development of 17th Street Park at the former Rodgers Seniors' Center site. 1 I City of Huntington Beach • Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update 154 The Community Voice To reach out to the whole community, an extensive community outreach campaign was developed. Live online video presentations, one on one stakeholder interviews, public online surveys, direct website feedback, and a statistically valid multimodal survey were conducted to clearly analyze the community recreation demand in the City. The initial community outreach was conducted in 2016 then updated in 2021 . Throughout the process, project updates and summary results were posted to the project website for the duration of the project.

Through these parks and recreation facilities people can exercise, socialize, experience California's premier beach waterfront and connect with nature. In pursuit of the Community and Library Services Department mission statement, values, and established goals, this Master Plan Update has been developed for the sound management and governance of City resources. Good governance encompasses balancing an equitable park system both financially and socially. The Community and Library Services Department has developed a framework for sustainable management of the recreation facilities and programs in Huntington Beach. Mission Statement The City of Huntington Beach Community [and Library] Services Department provides outstanding programs, services and facilities that enhance and enrich the lives of our residents and visitors. -2017 Community Services Department Strategic Planning Retreat The National Parks and Recreation Agency (NRPA) has published guiding principles that impact our community's health and well-being, park equity, and environmental sustainability. These three pillars set the foundation for developing sound recreation planning. The community outreach process provides a clear understanding of the community's desires and needs for parks and recreation. Having such an understanding enables strategic expenditures and improvements within the recreation system maximizing the community impact. In pursuit of these guiding principles and in concert with the Community and Library Services Department Mission Statement for recreation in Huntington Beach, this report was developed in part to ensure the resources dedicated to sustaining recreation in Huntington Beach is continuously in line with the community expectations and desires. The Master Plan Update is designed to be adaptable, with a recommendation for evaluation and/or modification every five (5) years to address unforeseen opportunities, constraints, and evolving resident needs in the context of other City priorities. Initially assessed in 2016, the plan was updated in 2021, with the most recent segments revised in 2024 and 2025. Each section of the report includes the corresponding dates when the studies were conducted.

Huntington Beach is known for its long stretch of sandy beaches, mild climate, excellent surfing, and beach culture. The ocean waves are enhanced by a natural effect caused by the edge-diffraction of open ocean 0 swells around the island of Catalina. Swells create consistent surf all year long, thus the nickname "Surf City". Copyright© 1995-2021 Esri. All rights reserved. Exhibit 1.3-1: City of Huntington Beach Regional Setting City of Huntington Beach • Parks and Recreation Master Plan JJdate 16 1 .4 Local Setting Huntington Beach's recorded history stretches back to 1784 with a 300,000 acre Spanish Land Grant. Formerly called "Shell Beach" in the early 1900's then changed to Pacific City by P.A. Stanton who purchased 40 acres along the beach on either side of Main Street with the vision to build a town on the Pacific Coast. Today that vision has grown into a City of almost 200,000 residents and hosts the U.S. Open of Surfing, the world's largest surf competition.

Due to the extent of the community outreach conducted the data is anticipated to be consistent for the next 5 to 10 years. Throughout the process, project updates and summary results were posted to the project website. This website enabled community members to review updates and provide immediate feedback at any point in time. This resource enabled anyone in the community to have a voice in the process regardless of when and where meetings were held. The purpose of gathering community input through a variety of methods is to ensure that the Master Plan Update is as inclusive as possible and that it reflects the views, preferences, and recreation patterns of Huntington Beach residents. Within this section, community feedback has been recorded in three (3) separate categories: Category One: One-on-One Stakeholder Interviews Direct one-on-one interviews with key stakeholders and elected officials were conducted in a format where participant's discuss key issues and opinions on facility needs and programmatic recommendations that should be researched in the Master Plan Update. Category Two: Community at Large Public Workshops Public community consensus-building workshops were held via virtual town hall meetings. Meetings were open to the public where community members could learn about past survey results, ask questions of the design team, and participate in live follow up surveys. Category Three: Statistically Valid Surveys Direct survey responses were collected through a statistically valid, multimodal survey. This survey was conducted via telephone (land lines and cell numbers), text, and email to ensure the population demographic was represented. 17 I City of Huntington Beach • Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update 170 :° ,l', w Total Combined Participants Reached: 0 0 Am Immix J L R-I-R 2021 2021 Update Total Website Views Update Stakeholder Interviews , f 2021 Total Website Feedback 2021 Total Facebook Update Comments Update Likes io O7 ._ 1 2021 Total Online Surveys 2021 Total YouTube Video Update Completed Update Views -------14 - a 0 [ 5 , 4 I, Residents Represented in ,t Players Multimodal Survey of NO04 Represented by 1 400 21 2021 Households Sports Organizations Update 2024 Update Surveyed City of Huntington Beach • Parks and Recreation Master Plan Umdate 118 Stakeholder Interviews: The following summarizes the results of the seventeen (17) stakeholder interviews conducted as a part of the public outreach effort to assist in the preparation of the Master Plan Update.

Interviews were conducted with respondents on both landline (34%) and mobile phones (66%) and were offered in English (95%) and Spanish (5%) languages. For the online survey phase, we invited participation via email (50%) and text message (50%). Security measures precluded individuals from completing the survey more than once and allowed only the designated respondents to complete the survey.

Each of these modes represents a specific segment of the community outreach methodology. The community voice is developed through synthesizing all the data into a single summary representing both program and facility needs. Since each of the input modes is directly or indirectly based on community input (qualitative and quantitative measures), it is fair to say that all of the needs identified are significant and important to some portion of the community. However, it is generally helpful to attempt to determine which needs have the highest priority as perceived by the largest number of residents (identified as the area of maximum community impact). To achieve this analysis each response recorded from the community is cataloged in a matrix. As an individual program or facility need is brought up (swimming, sports facilities, trails, shade, etc.) it is recorded for frequency in the specific outreach tool and mode in which it was received. Needs that have been identified in each of the three modes have a higher impact across the community than needs identified in only one of these modes. The recommendations are developed from the planning tools and outreach modes in which the community's voice was recorded and evaluated. Both qualitative and quantitative measures are combined to illustrate where improvements will have the maximum impact across the entire community. Exhibit 2.3-1 and 2.3-2 illustrates the classification of these categories as Frequent (3 modes), Apparent (2 modes), and Identified (1 mode) and the respective needs within each category and the number of times the need was listed across all categories. The top needs in each category have been outlined as an area of maximum community impact. There is an inherent priority of needs based on the number of times a need comes up in each category. For example, Pickleball Courts (4) is ranked higher than Beach (amenities/rentals) (3) because it was identified in each of the three outreach modes. However, cost implications should take precedence if the City does not have the funds for higher-ranked needs but does for a lower-ranked need the priority for implementation may shift.

The City has 77.8 miles of bike lanes, the vast majority are Class II and Ill. The ocean-front path that runs along Huntington Beach's coast is considered to be a multi-use path. It is open to all non-motorized uses and is heavily traveled by runners, walkers and in-line skaters. These paths are separated from roads where cars drive. While the City has 8.8 miles of multi-use paths, the Huntington Beach Bike Trail runs a total of 12.8 from Sunset Beach to Newport Beach. The 2013 City of Huntington Beach Bicycle Master Plan identifies 9 Class I Bicycle Trail projects including improvements to the current bike trail along Bluff Top Park. The City has an excellent opportunity to design trails to double as transportation routes for bicycles. The additional development of a shared use pathway could include both paved and decomposed granite surfaces, providing opportunity for both the casual walker and utilization of the trail as a transportation route.

Exhibit 3.1-8: Service Area Gap Analysis Map 47 I City of Huntington Beach • Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update 200 To analyze the distribution of existing City parks, a service area radius map is created for City-owned mini, neighborhood, and community parks (see exhibit 3.1-8). When areas zoned for residential use fall outside of these service area designations, they are identified as an underserved neighborhood or "gap area". The City has excellent coverage providing park space that is geographically distributed throughout the community. There are however some gaps as identified in exhibit 3.1-8. 1 This area of the community is bisected by the interstate 405 freeway, a rail road line, and major arterials. These barriers make it difficult to provide any significant trails to connect parkland to this neighborhood. There is however a John Land Park in the City of Westminster that does service this community within a '/2 mile radius. #2 There are neighborhood areas to the east and west of Beach Blvd that lie just outside the City neighborhood parks service radius. Within these areas the private HOA communities have local pool and park spaces available that serve their communities as well as Westmont Elementary School within a 1/2 mile radius that has playground and active turf for recreation opportunities. #3 While this specific area does fall outside the typical mini park and neighborhood park radius it is within a 1/2 mile radius of Huntington Central Park (a large Regional Park) as well as borders access to the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. #4 This area has a segmented neighborhood bordered by the Talbert Channel on the west, south and east sides. This community is served by Cordata Park, an adjacent neighborhood park in the City of Fountain Valley. #5 This area however identified as residential is a commercial nursery and electrical grid station. The adjacent neighborhoods surrounding this location are close in proximity to Lamb Park and Arevalos Park, both parks are located in and owned by the City of Huntington Beach. City of Huntington Beach • Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update 148 Custom Park Standards Calculations (CPSC's) 3.2 Custom Park Standards Calculations & Facility Demand A key element in any planning strategy is an understanding of the nature of "demand" for parks and recreation facilities. This report assesses the demand for recreation facilities by the participants of organized sports within Huntington Beach, and participation data from the statistically valid, multimodal community survey. Without this understanding, a policy can only be based on general standards of supply and demand, such as population ratios (acres per thousand population) or service area (distance to a park). Such standards are useful guides lacking specific detailed planning and assessment. "The 2024 NRPA Agency Performance Review does not present park and recreation "standards", nor do the benchmarks represent any standards against which every individual park and recreation agency should measure itself. The reason for this is simple: there is not a single set of standards for parks and recreation because different agencies serve different communities that have unique needs, desires and challenges. Agencies also have diverse funding mechanisms." - 2024 NRPA Agency Performance Review The Custom Park Standards Calculations TURN (CPSC's) for the City of Huntington Beach �JSN°NRF are based on the 2024 Esri population 1 Alevel of 194,978 and participation data §lYl� gathered in the 2024 Sports Organization C,PS C Survey.

SECTION FOUR: • • 11 11) • The City currently meets established standards for providing park and recreation facilities. However, demand for increasingly diverse and ever changing recreation programs and facilities should be re-assessed every five to ten years. Demand is strong for parks that feature active recreational facilities and support team sports as well as those that provide access to natural environments. Since much of Huntington Beach has been developed, park space must be used efficiently and strategically added as part of new developments or reuse of existing facilities, such as closed schools.

This approach will help guide future park development and focus on coordinating recommendations for the Master Plan Update, General Plan, Park Impact Fee review, and other planning documents. Below is a review of the Huntington Beach General Plan, with most elements adopted on October 2, 2017 by the City Council. This review will include areas pertinent to park and open space development and delivery of recreation services. The General Plan serves as a blueprint for the community through the year 2040. Proposed amendments, deletions, and modification are shown by either ctrikcout or bold underlined italics, as appropriate. All proposed modifications are needed to fully implement the goals and objectives of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update. Following are experts from the General Plan with recommended modifications. The Land Use Element guides future development and designates appropriate locations for different land uses including open spaces, parks, residences, commercial uses, industry, schools, and other public and community-serving uses. The Land Use Element establishes standards for residential density and non-residential building intensity for lands within the planning area. The element also establishes the City's long-term community design and economic development goals related to beach city culture and identity, neighborhoods and districts, economic trends, and job development and retention strategies. Page 2-32 Goal LU-1. New commercial, industrial, and residential development is coordinated to ensure that the land use pattern is consistent with the overall goals and needs of the community. Policies A. Ensure that development is consistent with the land use designations presented in the Land Use Map, including density, intensity, and use standards applicable to each land use designation. B. Ensure new development supports the development, protection,and maintenance of park facilities and environmental and open space resources. C. Support infill development, consolidation of parcels, and adaptive reuse of existing buildings. Tool 2: Existing Documentation 7 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update D. Ensure that new development projects are of compatible proportion, scale, and character to complement adjoining uses. The Circulation Element defines the transportation network and describes how people move throughout the planning area, including the streets, railways, transit routes, bicycle paths, and sidewalks. The transportation network is a major determinant of development form and land use. Factors such as, but not limited to, traffic patterns and congestion, access to transit, and ease and safety of walking and biking may determine where people choose to live, work, and visit. Page 3-34 Goal CIRC-6. Connected, well-maintained, and we/I-designed sidewalks, bike lanes, equestrian paths, and waterways allow for both leisurely use and day-to-day required activities in a safe and efficient manner for all ages and abilities. Policies A. Provide pedestrian and bicycle routes that integrate with local and regional transit, connect destinations, and provide end-of-trip facilities. B. Improve and create connections between schools, recreational facilities, and neighborhoods, increasing the safety of the bicycle, equestrian, and pedestrian trails system. C. Designate and improve pedestrian enhancement zones (PEZs) at appropriate locations. D. Require new commercial and residential projects to integrate with pedestrian and bicycle networks, and that necessary land area is provided for the infrastructure. E. Implement and operate appropriate traffic control devices to reduce conflicts between pedestrians, bicycles, and motor vehicles. F. Ensure that bicycle and pedestrian facilities comply with accessibility provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act. G. Increase bicycle parking in or near Downtown, near the beach, and throughout the planning area. Identify opportunities for a pilot bikesharing program in Downtown. H. Encourage the use of easements and/or rights-of-way along flood control channels, public utilities, railroads, and streets, for use by bicyclists and/or pedestrians, where safe and appropriate. Maintain an equestrian trail network that supports horse properties and local stables, and link trails to regional facilities that can be combined with hiking trails. J. Maintain navigable waterways in Huntington Harbour and Sunset Channel for both recreational and commuter use. The Environmental Resources and Conservation Element describes the conservation, development, and use of natural resources (including open space), as well as parks and recreation opportunities, in Huntington Beach. This element also addresses key issues related to environmental resources and conservation, including biological resource areas, energy and water conservation, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and coastal resources.

Tool 2: Existing Documentation 9 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Conservation (OS-C) areas constitute the largest open space use category at 1,662 1,456 acres. Much of this area is located in the Bolsa Chica Wetlands, which is considered part of the planning area, but is not currently incorporated as part of the city. The other major concentration of conservation land is located in the Huntington Beach wetlands near the southeast edge of the city. The Conservation designation provides for environmental resource conservation and management (e.g., wetland protection) and supporting ancillary uses (e.g., maintenance equipment storage). Habitat conservation lands are exposed to environmental degradation due to upstream water quality issues, ecological connectivity problems, and increasing tidal variability. This element includes goals, policies, and programs to protect these resources such as restoring and enhancing habitat resources, enhancing habitat connectivity, and naturalizing flood channels. Page 4-6 Parks (OS-P) make up the second largest land area among open space uses, accounting for 701 764.62 acres. The Parks designation provides for public parks and recreational facilities and supporting ancillary uses (e.g., maintenance equipment storage) and consists of uses ranging from mini parks to larger regional parks. Central Park accounts for about half of the parkland. The Parks and Recreation discussion below addresses challenges, opportunities, and the City's desired future for parks. Recreation (OS-R) areas are the third largest Open Space land use designation, covering 2-38 198acres. The Recreation designation provides for publicly or privately operated recreation facilities, such as golf courses. This designation also provides for supporting ancillary uses (e.g., food stands, recreational equipment rentals, maintenance equipment storage). Recreation uses in the planning area face numerous challenges including competing user needs, surrounding land use compatibility issues, and environmental quality challenges. Goals, policies, and programs in this element seek to mitigate these challenges by providing for diverse recreation facilities and evaluating potential incompatibilities. Water Recreation (OS-W) accounts for 239 acres of the planning area. The Water Recreation designation provides for water bodies used for recreational purposes, such as boating, fishing, swimming, and water sports. Currently the OS-W designation is used in the Huntington Harbour waterways. Shore (OS-S) accounts for 434 acres of the planning area. The Shore designation provides for coastal beaches operated by the City and the State, and publicly or privately operated ancillary uses (e.g., food stands, recreational equipment rentals, maintenance equipment storage). Lands located in the Shore designation face many challenges including conflicting user needs, and erosion and physical impacts associated with coastal storms and increasing tidal variability. The City seeks to protect and enhance these economic and ecologically important land resources through goals, policies, and programs that maintain the recreational and cultural identity of the beach while improving and enhancing the overall habitat value of coastal areas.

Tool 2: Existing Documentation 15 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update •,r NtiNcro2 ' .~o . ,.. Community Inspired Spaces ,, = Park Development Impact Fees Review DESIGN GROUP FCUUhTV0>#4 and Recommendations RM City of Huntington Beach (2021 ) Executive Summary Current assessment rates park impact fees are currently well below the actual costs for acquisition and development of parks within the City of Huntington Beach.The fees were last adjusted in 2016 and thus are essentially 5 years out of date. Due to substantial increases in acquisition and development costs over the past 5 years, it is recommended that: • All park development fees be raised; and • To keep pace with ever rising costs,these fees should be reviewed annually and tied to an acceptable real estate and construction cost index as appropriate,such that they would be automatically adjusted annually, as permitted per Resolution 2012-23, Item 10. Introduction Background Impact fees are one-time charges assessed by a local government against a new development project to help pay for new or expanded public facilities that will directly address the increased demand for services created by that development.These impact fees may only be imposed for"system improvements" - public capital facilities in a local government's capital facilities plan that are designed to provide service to the community at large (not private facilities), are reasonably related to the new development, and will benefit the new development. Park impact fees must be used for"publicly owned parks, open space, and recreation facilities"that are addressed by a capital facility plan element of a comprehensive plan. Most cities and counties in California only charge park impact fees to residential construction or the residential portion of a mixed- use building or development, but a few also charge commercial or industrial developments, since employees(and not just residents) can directly benefit from nearby parks and recreational facilities. Over the past 20 years the city has completed several plans related to and in support of the current Park Impact Fees. These plans are identified and summarized below. This report utilizes these plans as a building point and in support of recommended changes to the current fee structure. Park Strategy and Fee Nexus Study 2001 In 2001,the city retained a consultant to assist in the development of a long-term strategy for park and recreation facilities. An important component of this study was the evaluation of the nexus between development fees and park expenditures. The plan covered: • Factors Affecting Demand • Operational Overview • Portfolio Analysis • Use and Opinion Research • Impact Analysis • Priorities for the Future • Evaluation of the Existing Park Fee Ordinance • Nexus and Public Policy Options Tool 2: Existing Documentation 16 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Master Facilities Plan 2011/Amended 2012 This extensive plan completed in 2011 and amended in 2012 was a long-range program identifying infrastructure and physical needs for the City of Huntington Beach to meet the service demands of a growing population and business community. City function areas evaluated Included: • Park Land Acquisition and Park Facilities Development • Public Library Facilities and Collection • Storm Drain Collection System • Circulation System • Fire Suppression/Medic Facilities,Vehicles, and Equipment • Law Enforcement Facilities,Vehicles, and Equipment Development Fee and Nexus Report 2012 This important follow up to the Master Facilities Plan completed the identification of the capital projects and acquisitions necessary to accommodate a new demand for municipal service based on the growing population and business community. Importantly, the Report calculated the development impact fees necessary to fund those required projects necessary to maintain the existing level of service. As with the Master Facilities Plan the same city services were evaluated with impact fees calculated for each. City of Huntington Beach General Plan 2017 The City of Huntington Beach General Plan (General Plan) was adopted on October 2, 2017, by the City Council. Several elements of the General Plan were not included in the 2017 revision. These include: • Coastal Element-2011 • Historic and Cultural Resources Element-2015 • Housing Element--2020 The General Plan serves as a blueprint for the community through the year 2040.The plan provides a roadmap for new housing and job growth, while protecting those characteristics and values that make Huntington Beach a desirable and distinctive place to live, work, and visit. The City of Huntington Beach maintains and operates public park grounds and landscaped areas. In total, 78 parks consistingof 1,198.62 developed park acres. Based on the existing population of 198,725 in 2020,there are approximately 6.03 acres of parkland for every 1,000 Huntington Beach residents including parks, open space areas, City-operated beaches, a public golf course, and the City Gym and Pool. Park and Recreation Master Plan 2016 This master plan was developed as a guide and implementation tool for the management and development of park and recreational facilities and programs for the city. The extensive process included inventory and evaluation of recreation resources, community participation, stakeholder interviews,workshops, sports organization survey,telephone survey, and financial evaluation. Tool 2: Existing Documentation 17 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Development Impact Fee Report Fiscal Year End June 30, 2020 This report complies with California Government Code Section §66000 et seq. which defines specific reporting requirements for local agencies that impose AB 1600 Development Impact Fees on new development. Further, this annual report identifies how the Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities Development Fee shall be used. The report states: "Per HBMC 17.76.090, the funds collected from Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities Development Impact Fee shall be used to fund the "costs of providing the acquisition, relocation and expansion of parkland and park facilities development, attributable to new residential and nonresidential construction."Therefore, the expenses included in this report represent all costs associated with the planning, design, and construction stages of an eligible project, including staffing and professional design consultant costs. Specifically, the fees may be used as summarized below. 1) The acquisition of additional property for the expansion of parkland and community facilities Development. 2) The construction of new parks and park facilities and community use facilities. 3) The funding of a master plan to identify capital facilities to serve new parkland and park facilities and community use facilities development. 4) The cost of financing, projects identified in the City's General Plan, the Master Facilities Plan included in the Nexus Report, the City's Capital Improvement Plan, the adopted annual City of Huntington Beach budget, or City Council approved park acquisition and development projects. Since the City's CIP generally includes projects and upgrades to existing facilities of$50,000 or more, all eligible park improvements may not meet the minimum qualifications required to be included in the City's CIP. However,projects and improvement less than the$50,000 threshold are still eligible park expenses as long as they are included in the documents referenced in item 4 above of the City's adopted annual budget. Examples of these types of expenditures include the City's annual park license fees with Southern California Edison. Since these expenses are included in the City's budget, they are eligible and included in this report." Park and Recreation Master Plan Update 2021 The current update will reaffirm information gathered in recreation resource inventory,funding opportunities, phasing, community priorities and other data as needed. Revised recommended levels of recreation and park facilities will be developed demonstrating equal level of service and opportunity. As part of the update, evaluation of impact fees and review of the City's General Plan related to park and recreation facilities, shall be completed. Statutory Framework Stemming from the Mitigation Fee Act (California Government Code §66000 et seq.) local agencies may charge development impact fees to finance the cost of public facilities or services needed to serve (or mitigate the effects of)the development. Impact fees are a commonly used and well-accepted means of mitigating the impacts(or facility needs) created by future growth. Public agencies regularly levy impact fees on new development to fund a variety of public facilities, including roads, sewer and water facilities, libraries, parks, and schools. Huntington Beach's Park Impact Fee was developed and has been utilized in accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act. Tool 2: Existing Documentation 18 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Prior to establishing, increasing, or imposing an impact fee, the Mitigation Fee Act requires the local agency to make the following findings: • Identify the purpose of the fee (Government Code §66001(a)(1)). • Identify the use for the fee and the facilities to be built(Government Code §66001(a)(2)). • Determine a reasonable relationship between the fee's use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed (Government Code §66001(a)(3)). • Determine a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility and the type of development project (Government Code §66001(a)(4)). • Determine a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the facility attributable to development (Government Code §66001(b)). Standards Based Program Impact fee programs are often designed utilizing one of two methodological categories, plan-based programs, or standards-based programs. Plan-based programs are driven by a defined set of projects, whereas standards-based programs are focused on achieving a defined standard or level of service. Although both methodologies are equally valid, one may have certain advantages(or disadvantages) as compared to the other depending on the unique circumstances involved in the city including type of improvements, state of current infrastructure, projected growth remaining, etc. Huntington Beach's Park Impact Fee has been developed under a standards-based methodology, using the standards set forth in the General Plan of 5.0 acres of developed parkland per 1,000 residents.The benefits of using a standards-based methodology include: • Greater flexibility to adapt to change. • Validity not tied to a static list of projects. • Citywide standard objectively measured. Tool 2: Existing Documentation 19 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Comparable Park Impact Fees Impact fees can vary greatly from one jurisdiction to the next. Factors that contribute this wide variety of fees are based on those variables utilized in the calculation of the fee. This includes the jurisdictions population density, current inventory of park and recreational facilities, adopted park standards, land values, definition of property categories, and local construction cost. Table 1 displays a sampling of local jurisdictions comparable to Huntington Beach.

Calculation of this standard does include park acreage of other agencies including the beaches which is included in the developed park acreage total. Overall, with a current estimated population of 198,725 and total park acreage of 1,198.62,the City of Huntington Beach currently has a standard of 6.03 acres of parkland per 1,000 population. Under the California Government Code,the City may charge new residential development based on a standard of 3 acres per 1,000 population. If the City has a higher rate (up to a maximum of 5 acres per 1,000)then they can charge new development at that rate. As stated,the city standard is currently 6.03 acres of parkland per 1,000 and thus they can charge new development at the rate of 5 acres per 1,000. Tool 2: Existing Documentation 22 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Impacts of Future Development Future Park Needs The Environmental Resources and Conservation Element of the General Plan maintains an established citywide parkland level of service goal of 5.0 or more acres of parkland per 1,000 residents.The General Plan anticipates a buildout population of 211,051 residents by 2040. Under this population scenario, assuming no net loss of parkland acreage, the city would have a parkland level of service of 5.67 acres per 1,000 residents. This results in an overall decline of the current level of service, although still meeting the goal of the General Plan. Table 3 Calculation of Required Park Acres per Allocated Standard Projected Buildout Population 211,051 Current Estimated Population 198,725 Future Population Added 12,326 Population Stated in Thousands 12.326 Allowable City of Huntington Beach Park Standard 5.0 Acres per Thousand Park Acres Required to Maintain General Plan Standard 61.63 Acres Current City of Huntington Beach Park Acreage Ratio 6.03 Acres per Thousand Park Acres Required to Maintain Current Level of Service 74.32 Acres With a population close to 200,000, Huntington Beach is largely a built-out city but as Table 3 shows, the City will still need to acquire and develop over 60 acres of new parkland to maintain the standard established by the General Plan. To maintain the current 6.03 acres per thousand, the city would need a total of 74.32 acres. This will make the development of new parks a difficult task. Prioritizing new park facilities in underserved areas in a way that equitably serves neighborhood and community needs, meeting the General Plan standards for new development, and the constraints of budget will be a difficult balancing act. Tool 2: Existing Documentation 23 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Nexus Findings Background New development in the city will create the demand for additional park and recreation facilities to serve future residents.The Park Development Impact Fee program will provide funding for the construction of park and recreation facilities to serve future development in accordance with the policies and goals set forth in the Park and Recreation Master Plan of 2016 and the 2021 update.As required pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act,the Park Development Impact Fees calculated in this Nexus Study, meet the nexus requirements of the Act as outlined below. Purpose of the Fee The purpose of the Park Development Impact Fees is to fund park and recreation facilities in accordance with the level of service prescribed in the Master Plan and General Plan to serve future residents within the City. Use of the Fee The Park Fee will be used to fund the construction of neighborhood, community,special use parks regional/reserve parks,and trails including the acquisition of the land required to serve new development.The fee will also be used to fund those facilities consistent with HBMC 17.76.090. In addition, the fee will fund the administrative expenses associated with implementing and administering the Park Fee program. A local agency may not collect and spend impact fees to cover deficiencies, maintenance, or rehabilitation or improvement of existing facilities. Capital costs to maintain and renovate existing facilities for the existing population, must be funded through other sources. In contrast,the Quimby Act allows use of receipts for rehabilitation of existing facilities. Under the Subdivision Map Act fees can only be charged on new, subdivided residential development. Reasonable Relationship Exists between the Fees Use and the Type of Development Project New residential development in the city will generate additional residents who will require park and recreation facilities.These additional park facilities will be funded by the Park Development Impact Fees primarily collected from residential development in the City since this type of development create the demand and benefit from these facilities.The collection and use of fee revenues to fund the construction of new park facilities ensures that the level of service identified in the Master Plan of 2016 and the 2021 update will be maintained for future residents. Reasonable Relationship Exists Between the Need for the Facility and the Type of Development Residential development in the city will generate residents that will require park and recreation facilities.As part of the Master Plan of 2016,the City's consultant conducted resident surveys and workshops to determine the type of facilities that are desired.These results are summarized in the 2016 Park and Recreation Master Plan. Tool 2: Existing Documentation 24 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Reasonable Relationship Exists Between the Amount of the Fee and the Cost of the Facility Attributable to New Development The Park Fee program provides funding for the park and recreation facilities needed to serve new development in the city.The cost to provide new facilities was estimated based on a cost per capita to serve new development.An estimate of the number of residents in each type of dwelling unit was then used to convert the cost per capita into a fee per unit. In addition, any existing deficiencies were identified, and new development is not funding the cost beyond their fair share.The administration fee was calculated as a percentage of the park fee component. Periodic Reporting • Provisions set forth in §66001(c) and §66006(b)(1)) of the Mitigation Fee Act require that each agency imposing an impact fee make specific information available to the public annually within 180 days of the last day of the fiscal year.This information includes the following: • A brief description of the type of fee in each account or fund. • The amount of the fee. • The beginning and ending balance of the account or fund. • The amount of the fees collected, and the interest earned. • An identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended and the amount of each expenditure. • An identification of the approximate date in which the construction of the public improvement will commence. • A description of any inter-fund transfer or loan and the public improvement on which the transferred funds will be expended. • The amount of the funds made and any allocations of unexpended fees that are not refunded. In addition,the provisions set forth in §66001(d) of the Mitigation Fee Act require that each agency imposing an impact fee make specific findings every five years following receipt of monies, to the extent that such monies are deposited and remain unspent. Supplemental Funding The development impact fee recommended in this report is set to cover park and recreation facility development that will maintain the current park standards, as new park development occurs. Any service level increase, loss of existing resources, or increase operational cost,will require supplemental funding. This could come from several sources including: • State and Federal grant monies • General and special taxes including o Property taxes o Sales taxes o Special District Assessments o Transient Occupancy Tax • Foundations, non-profit support, and other private giving • Collaborative financing • Naming rights Tool 2: Existing Documentation 25 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Local Park Fees The City of Huntington Beach has a total of 1,198.62 acres of local parks, including developed and undeveloped neighborhood, community, and city-wide or special-use parks. Table 4 provides a summary of local park acreage. Table 4 Local Park Acreage Summary Total Mini/Neighborhood Parks 188.04 Total Community Parks 168.68 Total Regional (Developed) 841.90 Total Developed Park Acreage 1,198.62 Total Open Space Categories 1,893.00 Current Population 198,725 Population/1,000 198.725 Current Acres/1,000--Neighborhood 0.95 Current Acres/1,000--Community 0.85 Current Acres/1,000--Regional 4.23 Current Acres/1,000—Developed Parks Total 6.03 1,000 Population Standard 5.0 General Plan Requirement With a current population of 198,725,the current combined park acreage,yields 1.80 acres of developed parks per one thousand residents of local neighborhood and community parks per thousand. The current standard for local parks,which has been adopted by the city, is three acres per thousand. Although the City has a shortfall of neighborhood and community parks, Development Impact Fees of developed parkland are not designed to be used to address this shortfall, but rather to ensure the development of new parks at three acres per thousand, as new users are added to the city as population increases through residential development. It further ensures that the existing park facilities do not become overburdened by the demand created by new residents and ensures that future development bears its fair share of responsibility in creating new park facilities. These fees are to be applied at the current standard of three acres per thousand. Local Park Acquisition Cost To calculate the impact per resident,the cost of acquisition and development of new parks must be established. In 2012,the city utilized a figure of$871,200, or$20 per square foot for land acquisition costs. This figure was derived from the 2012 Development Fee and Nexus Report. The current land acquisition cost within the city was derived by taking$871,200 acquisition cost and applying the consumer price index for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area, as determined by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics,for the period 2012 to June of 2021. Table 5 summarizes the CPI for each year and the growth of acquisition costs for an acre of parkland. Tool 2: Existing Documentation 26 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Table 5 Parkland Acquisition Costs CPI Growth from 2012 to June 2021 Year CPI Acquisit oosts r' 12 Month%Change AcreAgLaand 2012 _ $871,200 2013 1.1% $880,783 2014 1.3% _ $892,233 2015 0.9% $900,263 2016 1.9% $917,368 2017 2.8% $943,054 2018 3.8% $978,890 2019 3.1% $1,009,236 2020 1.6% $1,025,384 2021 2.6%* $1,052,044 *Only thru June 2021. The cost for acquisition is calculated to be $1,052,044 per acre. This means that today's acquisition costs are 1.2 times higher than average prices since 2012, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area. The$1,052,044 acquisition costs should be considered very conservative. If only housing inflationary figures are utilized, there would be a 2.45%increase for the same period resulting in a figure of $1,083,191. Another method would be to utilize comparable real estate to establish value. At the time of this report only two commercial properties were listed for sale, both significantly higher than the $1,052,044 figure. (Research was not completed on recent sales.) These are: • 18662 Florida St.--.37 acre--$2,350,000 • 413 20th St.-5,850 sq.ft.--$1,900,00 For this report, a figure of$1,052,044, or$24.15 per square foot, will be utilized. Local Park Development Cost Several costs arise that need to be covered in these calculations, including advance planning, preliminary design, surveying, bid document preparation, plan, and permit fees and processing, construction testing and management, street improvements, and utility hookups, as well as the construction of the various facilities. The Development Fee and Nexus Report in 2012 estimated the average base costs to develop an acre of parkland at$310,168. This figure was then increased by 15%to account for park architectural, another 24%for project administration, plan check, engineering, inspection, etc., and finally an increase of 15% for project contingency. Overall,the costs to develop one acre of parkland was estimated at$508,644 per acre. When all these costs are included, the average cost to develop an acre of parkland, based on recent park construction bids is currently determined, for the purposes of this nexus study, to be $1,000,000.This amount is based on the average cost of a ten-acre neighborhood park and a twenty-acre community park. Tool 2: Existing Documentation 27 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Community Facility Cost As shown in Table 2 the City has 383,547 square feet of developed community facility space. Divided by the City's 1,198.62 acres of developed park land and the result indicates an average of 319.99 square feet of community facility space per acre of developed park. The Development Impact Fee Calculation Report of 2012 utilized a figure of$480 per square foot for community center space. For this report, a figure of$700, based on recent construction projects, is utilized to estimate the development cost of community facility space. Multiplying this figure by the number of community facility space per acre of parkland, provides a figure of$223,993. This number represent the future cost to maintain the existing square feet of community facility per acre of parkland, and as a result, per capita. Summary Updated to 2021, combining estimated acquisition cost of$1,052,044 per acre, estimated community facility costs of$223,993 per acre, and development cost of$1,000,000 per acre provides a total of $2,276,037 for a developed acre of parkland. Table 6 outlines the calculations for total park costs per acre per resident. Table 6 Calculation of Local Park Fee per Resident Estimated Acquisition Cost $1,052,044 Estimated Community Facility Cost $223,993 Estimated Development Cost $1,000,000 Total Estimated Cost $2,276,993 Total Cost Per Resident =3 x(Average cost for acquisition and development)/1,000 $6,830.97 Local Park Cost per Resident and Types of Residential Units Using numbers of$1,052,044/acre for acquisition, $223,993 for community facility costs, and $1,000,000/acre for development yields a total average cost per acre of$2,276,993. Multiplying this number by three acres and dividing by 1,000 residents yields a total recommended impact fee per resident of$6,830.97. Based on this cost per resident, the average number of residents per dwelling unit is then used to determine the assessment rate per dwelling unit. Currently the city utilizes four categories of housing, detached dwelling unit, attached dwelling unit, mobile home dwelling unit, and accessory dwelling unit. Therefore,the percentage increase in the fee is different for each type of dwelling unit, based on number of residents per dwelling.The calculations for Detached Dwelling Unit,Attached Dwelling Unit, and Mobile Home Dwelling Unit are shown in Table 7. The preliminary calculation for Accessory Dwelling Unit is also shown in Table 7 but this fee is further modified in Table 8, utilizing a previously adopted method.

The City of Huntington Beach has adopted a modified approach for Accessory Dwelling Unit based on the average size of the units rather than basing the fee upon impacts to public infrastructure and municipal services stemming from residents per dwelling. A 2018 report to the city by Revenue and Cost Service stated that the "average size for all dwelling units in Huntington Beach is 2,386 square feet...The average size ADU applied for in Huntington Beach is 729 square feet. The average size of an ADU in Huntington Beach is approximately 31%of the average sized dwelling unit in Huntington Beach." Table 8 follows this previously accepted logic with a modification of the development impact fee based on the size of the unit rather than the impact to municipal services based on residents per dwelling. The 2018 report utilized a conservative 25%of the fee, but this report will utilize the 31%figure for the average size of the dwelling unit compared to the average size for all dwelling units in Huntington Beach. This leads to a new fee of$4,779.72. Table 8 Park Development Fee—Accessory Dwelling Unit Calculated Percent of Adopted Recommended DIF Impact Development DIF Impact Percentage Cost per Impact Fee Previously Fee/Unit ADU Imposed Accessory Dwelling $15,438.01 90.5% $13,971.39 31% $4,331.13 Unit Local Park Fees— Non-Residential Business/Commercial Development The Development Impact Fee Calculation Report of 2012 utilized the following method to determine Parkland acquisition fees for businesses. (Please note that the acreage, cost, and ratios are updated to 2021 figures.) All private development benefits from the acquisition of land that is never developed, and exists, at a minimum, as a buffer from all other businesses.... the city owns 1,073.53 acres of park space which at a minimum acts as open space for all land uses. There are 10,401.6*acres of privately held developed land within the City's limits. The city owns 764.62 acres of developed parkland which serves as open space for all land users. As a result, there is 0.0735 acres of park/open space for each developed privately held acre. The 0.0735 acres of city owned developed parkland per privately held acre is the recommended standard to be applied to the development of vacant parcels zoned for the business uses of commercial and resort lodging, commercial/office, and industrial/manufacturing uses. The open Tool 2: Existing Documentation 29 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update space land acquisition cost will be limited to 25%of the$24.15 per square foot(or$1,052,044 per acre) acquisition cost based upon the premise that business use benefits largely open space component and does not require the benefits of developed parks and that open space land acquisition costs are less than land appropriate for parks. The costs to acquire that 0.0735 acre of park land would be$77,325.23. Again, the cost is limited to only land acquisition but does not include the development component of that land as a park. That would fall to the developers of residentially zoned land that will generate park users or residents. Business acres benefit from the parks as open areas that make the city a desirable location for that business. *General Plan Distribution of Land Uses Table LU-1 This report will support the arguments previously made for the calculation of local park fees for the non- residential sector. Updated numbers include: • City owned acres of open space park land 764.62 Acres • Privately developed land within the city 10,271.8 Acres • Park/open space and privately developed land ratio 0.0735 Acres • Open space land acquisition cost $1,052,044 • Per square foot cost $24.15 Tables 9 and 10 identify the cost for parkland acquisition for the business type land-uses and recommended fees. The fee for commercial and resort lodging was originally calculated on a per room basis and several years later converted to a square foot fee. Huntington Beach Municipal Code Section 17.76.070—Calculation of Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities Impact Fee, states that the lodging fee can be based on square foot of the floor area or number of lodging units. This report will utilize number of lodging units.

Fee is currently based on a modified percentage of dwelling unit size compared to average dwelling unit size in Huntington Beach. Quimby Parkland Dedication The "Quimby Act" enables local governments to exact the dedication of land or in-lieu fees for parks as part of the subdivision approval process.Although the Act has provided for the acquisition of land for parks in new subdivisions; it has limitations when an area is built out. It can provide funds for improvements, but not maintenance.The dedication or fee is based on the local agencies adopted park standards per thousand population. Local cities and counties must pass an ordinance to enact Quimby provisions. It is also only applicable to residential subdivisions and does not address park demands created through in-fill development, condominium conversions, or commercial and industrial developments. The in-lieu fees are based on the cost of land and do not provide adequate funding for park development. Historically, the fees could only be used for improvements,with that use restricted to the area where the fee was collected. In 2013 the state Quimby ordinance was amended to permit cities and counties to use developer paid Quimby Act fees to provide parks in neighborhoods other than the one in which the developer's subdivision is located. The amendment required certain conditions to be meet prior to utilization of the funds including documentation that park acreage in the other neighborhood is less than 3.0 acres per thousand and the fees are used within a specified radius that complies with the city's ordinance and are consistent with the adopted general plan or specific plan of the city or county.This amendment based on Assembly Bill 1359, provided cities and counties with opportunities to improve parks and create new parks in areas that would not have benefited before. Tool 2: Existing Documentation 31 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update The Quimby Act has long been used by public agencies to develop parkland and recreational facilities, but public agencies were limited in that the fees collected could only be used within the proposed subdivision. Several requirements were put in place guiding the use of fees outside the subdivision. These are: • The neighborhood where the city or county is proposing to use the fees to provide parks must have fewer than 3.0 acres of park area per 1,000 members. • The neighborhood where the proposed subdivision is located must have at least 3.0 acres of park area or more per 1,000 members. • The city or county must hold a public hearing before using the fees in another neighborhood. • The city or county must find it reasonably foreseeable that the new subdivision's residents will use the park facilities in the other neighborhood. • And finally, the city or county must use the fees in areas consistent with the city or county's local Quimby Act ordinance and General Plan. Huntington Beach adopted the current Quimby Ordinance in October of 2012, modeling the State of California Quimby Act. Under this ordinance,the park dedication requirement may be met either by actual dedication of land to the city of land within the development for parks or the payment of a fee in- lieu of the dedication of land, which fee must be used for parks. The in-lieu fee base value is$871,200 per acre. As an example, the City of Temecula has a Quimby Ordinance in which the in-lieu fee base value is $310,000 per acre. The fee is calculated using the following format: Type of Dwelling Average Density/Dwelling Unit Single Family Residential (Detached Garage) 3.12 Single Family Attached (Attached Garage) 2.85 Multi Family Attached (2-4 Units) 2.48 Multi Family Attached (5 or More Units) 2.43 Mobile Homes 2.00 Example Calculation of Single-Family Dwelling Unit Avg.

Huntington Beach has a history of providing community services and activities to meet the needs of various age groups. The Senior Program is currently hosted at the Rogers Senior Center built during World War II. Recently the City broke ground on a $21 million 45,000 square foot facility to be located in Central Park.This new facility is partially supported by a $3.7 million donation from Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian. The donation will not only help build the new senior center at Central Park but also establish programs to improve the health and wellness of Orange County's seniors by supporting programs such as free health screenings, home delivered meals for seniors in Huntington Beach and Surf City Seniors on the Go, a transportation service for seniors to access medical and senior services. Existing Programs and Activities As part of the 2014 Community Needs Assessment Survey for the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, 50%of the residents chose "Physical Fitness, Health and Well-being" as the most important benefit when seeking recreation. Further, nearly 96%of the residents polled stated they are very or somewhat satisfied with existing park and recreation facilities and programs in the City of Huntington Beach with more than nine of every ten (93%) residents polled stated they are very or somewhat satisfied with Tool 4: Programming Assessment(2016) 118 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update existing maintenance of parks and recreation facilities in the City of Huntington Beach. Showing high satisfaction levels, 28%stated they desired no program additions. The most often reported desired recreation programs were "Yoga, Meditation, or Stress Relief," "Dance," and "Aerobics, Spinning or Fitness." Nearly two-thirds of the residents polled (63%) stated they were frequent users (at least 3 times per month) of parks and recreation facilities in the last year. The share of residents polled who were frequent users of parks was somewhat below the highest reported in other California community surveys. Huntington Beach resident were well above the average of 63%frequent users vs.44%for the other cities surveyed. The share of City of Huntington Beach residents who reported no recreation facility use in the past year was below the average of the forty-three municipalities (8%vs. 14% median). Huntington Beach offers a wide variety of sports activities and classes for all ages. There is an extensive Aquatics Program at City Pool and Gym and a variety of programming at Edison and Murdy Community Centers. Active programming occurs at the beach with surf lessons and fitness programs. In addition, numerous organized sports groups and leagues for soccer, softball, and baseball utilize park fields on a regular basis. Revenue Rate Revenue rate describes the percentage of income that is produced from fees and charges contrasted with total direct expenditures for each program. Direct expenditures do not include general overhead and City administration and in the case of Aquatics does not include pool maintenance or utility costs. The table below identifies the revenue rate for several of the major programs based on fiscal year 2013/2014 contrasted with the two previous fiscal year actuals. HUNTINGTON BEACH Revenue Rate Program FY 13-14 FY 13-14 FY 13-14 FY 12-13 FY 11-12 Budget Revenue Revenue Revenue Revenue Rate Rate Rate ma— Youth Sports $ 57,149 $ 60,909 106.57% 96.69% 101.07% Adult Sports $ 715,315 $ 602,935 84.29% 116.92% 115.95% Tennis $ 196,282 $ 127,997 65.21% 107.96% 89.77% Aquatics $ 190,731 $ 268,617 140.83% 171.15% 177.87% Classes $ 1,417,512 $ 1,663,765 117.37% 141.14% 136.84% Rec Events $ 28,811 $ 20,474 71.06% 52.27% 84.48% Adventure Playground $ 24,017 $ 38,400 159.88% 79.42% 114.73% Art Camps $ 74,583 $ 99,978 134.04% 147.43% 128.26% **Fiscal Year 2013/14 displays budgeted numbers. All other Fiscal Years display actuals. Since 2011/12, revenue figures for Adult sports, Aquatics,Tennis, and Adult Sports have shown a steady decline. Other categories have experienced minimal fluctuations both positive and negative. Youth Sports showed a 21%decline in revenue due to the loss of Flag Football but also saw a corresponding Tool 4: Programming Assessment(2016) 119 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update 25%decline in expenses. The Aquatics revenue rate is unique among the park and recreation industry and reflective of expenses which only include lifeguarding and instructor hours. Industry standards varying greatly in the aquatics category depending on facility size, scope, and age but almost always in the negative. As an example, Pleasanton has a revenue rate for aquatics ranging from 67-77%over the past few fiscal years, Pleasant Hill has been in the upper 50's, and Livermore Recreation and Park District ranging from 47%to 59%. It is typical for community swim pools to be subsidized, especially due to the high cost of staffing, water, and utilities. Although there has been a decline in revenues and increase in expenses, several programs continue to fully cover their costs including Classes,Adventure Playground, and Art Classes. Aquatics A recent study ! .0r�w�a�r ,�` commissioned by the USA �.�*�,._ .ol•�••elp Swimming Foundation • and conducted by the • • University of Memphis I s * - found that nearly 70%of 11 I A.__ _ African American children i'; . • and nearly 60%of , Hispanic children have � ;\ low or no swim ability, compared to 40%of " Caucasians, putting them , - at risk for drowning. Another study found that participation in formal swimming lessons can 4E-. reduce the risk of ES drowning by 88 percent among children aged one to four years. (Source: Pediatrics&Adolescent Medicine 2009) While swimming is considered one of the more important activities in many communities, Huntington Beach Area residents revealed a mixture of responses.The survey conducted for the Park and Recreation Master Plan in 2014 showed that only 3%identified City Gym and Pool as a most used facility. Further, only 18%of the residents indicated they participate in swimming compared to 51% in California as found in a 2012 statewide survey by California State Parks. When asked "what is the one recreation facility you would most like to see added in the City of Huntington Beach to meet the needs of your household",the highest ranking facility was swimming pools at 13%. Huntington Beach's Aquatics Program provides opportunities for public and private swim lessons, adult lap swimming, water exercise classes, and a summer recreation swim team. Classes are offered to age six months through adult and include Parent and Child, Preschool Aquatics, Learn to Swim up to level 4, Exceptional Swimming lessons for those with disabilities, and Adult lessons. Lifeguarding and Water Safety Instructor training is also conducted at City Gym and Pool. Staff reports that registration for swimming lesson often fill within two hours of opening. Tool 4: Programming Assessment(2016) 120 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Table 1 summarizes the number of swim lessons taught at City Gym and Pool.

This could include: o City funding and operation of aquatic facility. o Joint funding of project to construct a new aquatic facility. o One-time contribution towards the private development of an aquatic facility in exchange for guaranteed public use. • Evaluate options to partner with one of the school districts serving Huntington Beach to pursue funding for the development of an additional aquatic facility. • Explore the opportunity to schedule during slow periods advanced aquatic programming including level 4 swimming lessons and up, lifeguard training classes, SCUBA, water polo, and kayaking. Children and Youth Services Huntington Beach offers recreation activities and classes, special events and childcare services geared towards a variety of grade levels: preschoolers, middle and high school. Population changes from 2000-2010 reveal a declining population among the younger age groups. For those 5 and under experienced a decline of 18%while and those 5 to 9 years of age declined by 16%. Thus,the number of children less than 10 years of age has declined, an indicator of potential change in needs for programs and facilities for this age group. Similar age group declines were noted Countywide. Despite these numbers, childcare needs which serve a valuable community and recreation service continue to be in short supply.There is a particular need for before and after school childcare services. Overall, Orange County has an estimated shortage of child care slots, with the vast majority of the gap in care occurring during before and after school times.The widest gap, both countywide and in Huntington Beach, is in the school age category. Preschool Huntington Beach offers a large variety of parent-participation preschool programs for children between 5 months and 6 years. Currently these programs are primarily at Edison and Murdy Community Centers, Tool 4: Programming Assessment(2016) 121 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Huntington Beach Arts Center,and City Gym and Pool. A variety of programming is offered including dance, ballet, creative learning activities, afternoon and morning preschool, and a variety of art classes. For the younger babies and toddlers, Huntington Beach offers parent-child a Play and Practice program at the City Gym and Pool for ages 10 months to two years. The same program is offered at Murdy and Edison Community Centers for ages 10 months to three years. These classes incorporate motor and social development, movement, songs, music, children's literature, and play Classes for tots under the age of 4 are generally classes geared toward developmental needs, incorporating theme-related play, social experiences, and opportunities to make choices. Preschool classes are for 4-year-olds who are getting ready for kindergarten.The class is designed to allow the child to develop social, physical,emotional, and language development through arts, music, science, and literature. After School Programming While Huntington Beach does not provide after school day care at school sites they do offer limited after-school programming for school age children. There are several private providers of after school care within the city limits including Ajello After School Programs of Huntington Beach, Childtime, La Petite Academy,and KinderCare. One of the oldest after-school programs located in Orange County is the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, located within McCallen Park. There are several benefits of after-school programs. The primary benefit is to keep children out of trouble and off the streets. Numerous research projects have found that the period directly after school is the most crucial time of the day and children who are not supervised by an adult for extended periods of time are at elevated risk for engaging in problem behavior. A second benefit is to provide learning assistance by helping students improve upon the lessons they learned during school hours. Finally, the third benefit of after-school programs is the exercise children get when they partake in recreational programs. These programs let children use their energy, relieve stress, and reduce the possibility of childhood obesity. In addition to exercise, recreational activities can also provide culture to a child's life with art, music, and dance based programming. The Huntington Beach Children's Library provides access to information and resources for children including a selection of children's literature, computers,which students can use to access the Internet, and software applications to assist with schoolwork. The Central Library and Oak View Library offer a homework club throughout the school year and the Programs and Youth Services Division offers a variety of story times six days of the week, special monthly programs, and a fall and summer reading program for children. Teen/Youth Activities/Events Huntington Beach provides numerous classes, special activities, and events which are grouped as teens/adults. There is limited programming specifically for teens. Both Edison and Murdy Community Centers are converting their"Game Rooms" which featured pool tables to rental space. Community Service Programs (CSP) of Orange County has developed several gang prevention programs, many concentrated in the Oak View area. The programs work in conjunction with the Huntington Beach Police Department for early intervention services, as well as provides after school programs,youth development, workshops,job career readiness and outreach services, as well as organizing the annual Tool 4: Programming Assessment(2016) 122 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Oak View Pride Day event. There is an anti-graffiti and vandalism program, "Save HB Kids" where youth participate in community services at the Shipley Nature Center and Bolsa Chica Clean-Up programs. Youth Board Huntington Beach sponsors, in coordination with the local High Schools,the Huntington Beach Youth Board Commission,for high school age youth. The Youth Board brings together youth and adult, private and public sectors of the community to address responsibility for the care, health, safety, welfare and education of Huntington Beach's young people.The Huntington Beach Youth Board keeps the City Council apprised of youth and community needs and interests, with the following objectives: • To promote Council/City Staff and public understanding of the achievements, problems, and needs of the city's young people. • To enable young people to participate in various City activities and make recommendations to the Council. • To Promote and encourage increased interest and participation among young people in community. The Board promotes youth involvement in the Huntington Beach community and communication between City leadership and the young people of the City while creating a forum for ideas, interest, and concerns of the youth. The Commission reports its issues and concerns to the Huntington Beach City Council.The Commission has nine youth members, one representing each of the four high schools and five at large members. Although holding regular meeting, over the past year there were limited agenda items including Youth in Government Day, Be a Buddy, and various fundraising efforts. Recommended Actions • Expand the role of the Youth Commission and involvement from Department staff so that they advise the City Council on all matters affecting the youth of Huntington Beach. Examples of additional programs or activities could include joint meetings with Youth Commissioners from adjoining cities and hosting a Youth Town Hall with the City Council. • In conjunction with the Children's Needs Task Force, school districts, Boys and Girls Club, and private providers of after-school programs evaluate the need for additional programming located at school sites. Grants are available from the Department of Education to fund after- school programming. • Examine the opportunities, potential locations, funds required, costs per parcel, and steps necessary to develop a home location for teens, either as a stand-alone center or in conjunction with development of a Community Center. • Consider expanding Huntington Beach's role in teen programs offering an array of programs that might include social recreation,tutoring, mentoring and non-sports activities. • Work cooperatively with school districts, local police, public health, and social service organizations to develop recreation, prevention, and education programs for youth development. • Consider expanding Huntington Beach's role in teen programs offering an array of programs that might include social recreation,tutoring, mentoring, and non-sports activities. • Work with health care associations,to incorporate healthy eating and exercising habits into after-school recreation programs and camps for young children that model healthy living. Tool 4: Programming Assessment(2016) 123 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update • Consider providing healthy snacks at City sponsored programs, day camps, and special events that meet state nutritional standards. • Explore the creation of alternative sports programming that is of interest to youth such as laser tag and rock climbing. • Collaborate with the various school districts in the area to ensure state standards for physical education are implemented and supplement school programs with physical activity and skill development in recreation offerings. • Provide indoor and outdoor spaces for supervised but unstructured free play for youth. • Continue/develop financial assistance support for youth who cannot afford program fees. • Continue cooperative efforts with youth sports organizations to provide safe and accessible programs that develop sports skills,good sportsmanship and provide youth experiences in organized sports such as the popular baseball, softball, basketball and football. New sports interests to be addressed include cricket, badminton, rugby, and lacrosse. • Consider programming "high risk" adventure activities such as kayaking, mountain biking,scuba diving, and rock climbing. • Develop a training and volunteer program of Play Stewards who would receive training and instruction on the aspects of play and recreation. Play Stewards would then coordinate with city staff on the delivery of recreation programming for youth and teens. Classes Huntington Beach offers a full range of classes and recreation activities for all age groups. Class and activity sessions occur year round and provide activities, programs and special events in over 50 topic areas, including arts and crafts, science, music, language, and various sports programs and activities. Last year through marketed class registration and program information using the SANDS Community Services Guide and social media on a quarterly basis generated over 35,000 class enrollments. Most classes and programs are fee based. In order to offset costs, it is and has consistently been a goal of the City that programs be self-supporting to the greatest extent possible,through user fees as well as non-traditional funding methods. Classes and programs are funded primarily through the fees they generate,with occasional grants and donations. The majority of the classes are held at city-owned facilities such as the Community Centers, City Gym and Pool, and City Beach. Partnerships with private businesses help support many programs such as ice skating and hockey which are held at The Rinks in Westminster. In 2012/13 the City remodeled delivery of the tennis program and entered into a partnership with the Rusty Miller Tennis Academy. A wide variety of classes are offered for ages 3 to adult including: • Clinic Lessons. • Tots--Introduces children age 3 to 5 to the sport of tennis. • Mod Squad--Clinic lessons offered for children ages 5 to 8 with a limited class size of four students. • Competitive Academy Play--A junior development program for kids at the Intermediate to Advanced level of play. • Semi-Private Lessons • Drop-in Drills Tool 4: Programming Assessment(2016) 124 City of Huntington Beach 1 Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update • Private Lessons--Private lessons are available for one or two students at Murdy Park, Marina Park, LeBard Park, or Edison. Revenue for the tennis program continues to decline from $172,306 in fiscal year 2011/12 to $127,997 for fiscal year 2013/14. Huntington Beach has a large number of"bootleg" classes which utilize city-owned park and recreational facilities without the benefit of contractual arrangement nor the payment of fees. Surf lessons and fitness classes held at the city beach are common example. The impact of these programs are a loss of revenue to the city and competition with city-sponsored programs. Recommended Actions • Initiate a part-time Park Ranger program similar to Newport Beach where the primary purpose is to assist the public and enforce city rules and regulations. Park Ranger's should have completed PC 832 and be under the direct supervision of the Police Department. • Continue to monitor the tennis program to determine marketing needs and/or venue changes to improve attendance. • Provide greater access to arts programs by offering them at venues close to home: neighborhood facilities such as park clubhouses, parks, churches, museums,the library,and shopping malls. • Continue to monitor existing programs and activities to maintain high quality and diverse recreation classes and programs. Ensure that instructors continue to meet high standards established by the City. • Huntington Beach should continue to monitor demand, partially through regular surveys,for programs and classes to determine and address changing needs and usage patterns. • Develop a line of healthy eating cooking programs in conjunction with the local business community. • Develop multi-cultural arts programs and activities that promote personal connections among participants and allow the community to highlight and share its diverse customs, celebrations, and diversions. • Annually survey current participants and non-participants to determine their preferences for additional kinds of classes, and determine if there are any deterrents to their participation,such as transportation or child care. • Collaborate with regional arts organizations to maximize resources and expertise to bring additional cultural programs to residents. • Expand cultural events and creative experiences through community partnerships with merchants, businesses,Chamber of Commerce, and other community organizations. • Showcase different cultures in special event programming to enhance cultural understanding and unity. Community Centers The City of Huntington Beach currently has three facilities that serve community center functions: • Murdy Community Center-11,905 square feet with four meeting rooms, kitchen, lounge, and game room. • Edison Community Center-17,631 square feet with four meeting rooms, kitchen, lounge, and game room. Tool 4: Programming Assessment(2016) 125 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update • City Gym and Pool-20,500 square _ feet with space for classes, small swimming pool, and full-sized aw basketball court. x � = v z t� All three facilities are utilized on a regular �°`" � - 'I - - basis fora variety of programs including 2_ alb" 1.1 classes, adult and youth sports activities, 7/ • 1 basketball, and volleyball leagues, special �,, ` ': -I. • ,;' events, and rental by the general public. op?,f1 '_m IV-.4 Starting in 2015 the Community Services -` =' Department will run a 4 week day camp for ages 6-12 from 9am to 5pm at Murdy ' 'v.. - Community Center. The program has a capacity of 96. Day Camps were cancelled during the Great Recession and this marks the restart of this program. Edison and Murdy Community Centers are both older facilities, poorly designed interiors and exteriors, lacking sufficient space to fully program for both passive and active recreation, and under-utilized by the residents of Huntington Beach. Nationwide, new Community Center design and construction has placed more emphasis on the scale of development,the use of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles, and the pursuit of LEED certification. Large multi-purpose centers, usually 40,000 to 65,000 square Feet, could help increase cost recovery, promote retention, and encourage cross-use. Recommended Actions • The City should evaluate the potential replacement of Edison and Murdy Community Centers of sufficient size, approximately 40,000 to 60,000 square feet,to provide space for a variety of functions and groups including teens, athletics, community organizations, and performing art groups. • Develop advisory Community Center Boards at each site, composed of community members, representatives of non-profits, and youth representatives. • Modify existing contracts to require that all concession operations and vending machines sell at least 75%of the product that meets state nutritional standards. • Expand the Day Camp program to Edison Community Center. Huntington Beach Art Center The Huntington Beach Art Center(HBAC) is a community arts and cultural center serving Huntington Beach and the Southern California region.The Center presents the works of artists producing in all media.Through exhibitions, performances,film/video screenings, lectures, and educational programming, the HBAC serves to advance public awareness and understanding of cultural, historic, and contemporary perspectives. Tool 4: Programming Assessment(2016) 126 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update The Community Needs Assessment for the Park and Recreation Master Plan found that one in four 1 residents (26%) would like to see fine arts or performing arts facilities and programs improvements. The HBAC is supported by a non-profit foundation the Huntington Beach Art Center Foundation. The Foundation was founded in 1989, in an effort to raise funds for the HBAC construction and program endowment.The annual Summer Classic Equestrian event is the primary fundraiser. Historically the Foundation generated over$2 million for the HBAC's renovation, programs, and operations. Unfortunately,the Foundation has had limited fundraising success since the start of the Great Recession. In addition to the gallery exhibitions the HBAC offers a wide range of fine art classes for youth and adults taught by professional artists. Classes include instruction in drawing, painting, watercolor, jewelry, and photography, Polynesian dance classes for youth and adults and specialized workshops. Additionally the HBAC conducts Art at the Beach art camp for children ages 6-12 years old. This week- long camp explores the visual and performing arts. Huntington Beach City Council appoints the 9 member Allied Arts Board to encourage and promote cultural activities and events within the city and provide advice to the City Council on matters pertaining to the growth of the arts and cultural affairs in Huntington Beach. The Allied Arts Board was established in July 1979, and played a major role in the completion of the Cultural Arts Master Plan, last updated in 1994. Currently the Board is reviewing goals and objectives for the last Cultural Plan Element, last updated in 1993. Huntington Beach also features over 30 pieces of art located throughout the city with many located within parks and at the beach. Recommended Actions • The City should prioritize the development of a Cultural Arts Master Plan to replace the existing 20-year old document. J Work to revitalize the Huntington Beach Art Center Foundation with support from both the Community Services Department and the Allied Arts Board. • Continue to expand the public art program with the development of a rotating"Art in the Park" program. Tool 4: Programming Assessment(2016) 127 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Organized Team Sports The City of Huntington Beach offers youth sports programs for Asp , youth from 3 years old to eighth grade. Programs include pee wee161 and junior basketball, pee wee and I 101 junior soccer, coed indoor ie volleyball,t-ball, baseball/softball, and flag football. These programs - are held primarily at Murdy and z a Edison Community Centers and u ( City Gym and Pool. Last year the Department enrolled over 1,400 participants in youth sports programs. While enrollment among the various groups has fluctuated over the last five years, the flag football program has declined due to the development of several privately operated programs, such as Friday Night Lights and Boys of Fall. The City operates a number of adult sport leagues including senior, men's,coed, and women's softball, arena soccer, and this year at Worthy Park is pickleball. There are currently 42 regular participants, with a steady increase in demand. In 1999, the City, working jointly with the four elementary school districts, hired a consultant to complete a Community Sport Facilities Inventory and Needs Assessment Study that divided the city into 30 subareas. The Needs Assessment tabulated the amount of open space (City and School)available in each subarea and compared it with the General Plan parkland standard of five acres of parkland per 1,000 persons.The Needs Assessment concluded that although the City met this standard overall, there were some subareas that were deficient. Completed during the period of 2003-4,the Huntington Central Park Sports Complex is a 45-acre facility that added eight softball fields overlaid with seven soccer fields. Also available are three open artificial turf fields and one artificial arena turf field. Other amenities include parking, batting cages, concession facilities, playgrounds, and restrooms. These facilities are heavily utilized by non-profit local sports organization, city sponsored events,and local and national sports tournaments. The City of Huntington Beach received a Southern California Municipal Athletic Federation (SCMAF)Award for best new sports facility in Southern California. Community Services staff indicates that the city has a shortfall in available fields for both youth and adult sports. This has historically been complicated by school districts closure of school sites and the potential sale or lease of school sites and corresponding loss of sports facilities. The City has utilized a California State law called the Naylor Act, which make surplus school property available to a city at less than fair market value under certain conditions. Tool 4: Programming Assessment(2016) 128 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update 1. Either the whole or a portion of the school site consists of land,which is used for school playground, playing field, or other outdoor recreational purposes, and open-space land particularly suited for recreational purposes. 2. The land described in#1 has been used for one or more of the purposes specified therein for at least eight years immediately preceding the date of the governing board's determination to sell the school site. 3. No other available public-owned land in the vicinity of the school site is adequate to meet the existing and foreseeable needs of the community for playground, playing field, or other outdoor recreational and open-space purposes. One of Huntington Beach's biggest challenges over the timeframe of this Master Plan is finding an appropriate and available location (and funding)to create additional playing fields to meet this specialized demand of organized sports. There are nearly two dozen organized sport groups for softball/baseball and soccer that regularly utilize Huntington Beach area playing fields throughout the year. According to Community Services staff,there is a consistently high demand for playing time on all sports fields. Further, Huntington Beach staff has also indicated that there is no available space to accommodate additional or new sports groups such as lacrosse. About 15 years ago the City started a Youth Sports Grant Program which grew to$150,000 annually. Funds were available as grants to youth sports organizations for league purposes and as seed money for organizations to repair fields or irrigation. The funds come out of the Park Acquisition and Development Fund. The program was discontinued due to budget limitations. Recommended Actions • The City should once again fund the Youth Sports Grant Program. • Additional pickelball courts should be marked within some city tennis courts including those at Edison and Murdy. • Huntington Beach should conduct and report to governing bodies economic profile reports of major tournaments held at city facilities. • Huntington Beach should support non-profit organizations, such as Friday Night Live and other flag football organizations, which provide recreational programming traditional provided by the city. • The City should work to correct the lack of fields available for lacrosse and other emerging sports by entering into discussions with the school districts for the joint use development of synthetic fields. • All weather synthetic turf fields can support substantially more play than grass fields. Further, synthetic fields can easily be lined for several different sports, thus helping to meet the needs of new emerging sports such as lacrosse. When a system considers the cost of land and the cost of sports fields they should consider all weather synthetic fields as an alternative and do a cost benefit analysis on the options in order to determine the best alternative for them to follow. • Establish policies appropriate for the installation and management of synthetic playing fields including: o Synthetic fields should be installed only at facilities which also have lights for night-time play. o A policy that states synthetic fields will be open for play except under extreme weather conditions.

Within the Nature Center is a 1,500 square foot interpretive building with exhibits on local wildlife and ecology. Shipley Nature Center also partners with Orange County Department of Education in delivering Inside the Outdoors, a unique hands-on environmental education program administered by the Center. Over 12,000 students participate in these programs during the school year at Shipley. A day camp is also held in the summer months. The Community Needs Assessment for the Park and Recreation Master Plan found that more than four of every ten City of Huntington Beach households (43%) identified a preference for Open Space Preservation and Enjoyment improvements. Recommended Actions • Expand passive and active outdoor programs for families, neighborhood oriented walks,foot races, or bicycle events to provide safe venues for physical activity. • The National Park Service and California Department of Parks and Recreation also offer various grants for habitat conservation with an educational or interpretive component (for example,the Land and Water Conservation Fund and Habitat Conservation Fund).These potential funding sources should be investigated as a means of augmenting the program or possibly implementing planned facilities. • Collaborate with Shipley Nature Center,various school districts, Orange County Parks,Audubon Society, and other organizations to offer programs in environmental education and interpretation to develop stewardship for natural resources and instill an appreciation for the natural environment. • Further work to implement Safe Routes to Schools and Parks via the joint School District/City project to encourage walking to and from schools and parks. A goal of the program is to increase the outdoor activities of families by providing incentives for non-automotive transportation and providing additional opportunities to interact with the natural environment.

Arinnted by the CA Rnunrltahla in 7M7 Rogers Senior Center Rogers Senior Center functions as a senior center offering programs and services for ages 50+and offering opportunities for community involvement and companionship with a wide range of social, recreational, and educational programs promoting wellness. The current facility was built during World War II and recently the City broke ground on a $21 million 45,000 square foot facility to be located in Central Park.This new facility is partially supported by a $3.7 million donation from `t Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian. The `~ donation will not only help build the new -- J senior center at Central Park but also establish II 6, . ''.I programs to improve the health and wellness = 40 of Orange County's seniors.

Current A O �� programs and activities include: - • Clubs and activities—Nearly 20 categories ranging from AA Seniors to Singing Goodtimes. • Events and meetings including Council on Aging, monthly ballroom dance, Step Out for Active Aging, Friday Afternoon at the Movies, and numerous field trips. • Recreation classes—A large variety of active and passive classes such as Book Club and Zumba. • Specialized services including: o AARP Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (February-April) o AARP 55 Alive Safe Driving Course o Autumn Health Fair& Flu Shot Clinic o Blood Pressure Clinic o Senior Serve Congregate Lunch o Preventative Healthcare for the Aging Program Tool 4: Programming Assessment(2016) 131 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update o HICAP Health Insurance Counseling Program o Legal Counseling o Utility tax Exemption o USDA Food Commodities Program • Transportation via "Seniors on the Go"which provides door-to-door service to medical appointments, shopping centers, Rodgers Seniors Center, and other locations within Huntington Beach. Last year 32,000 trips were recorded. • Care Managers who offer services to older adults and assist with the development of long term plans. The managers complete phone and in-home consultation to evaluate individual needs and link older adults with services. For 2014 projected service numbers include 300 seniors with ongoing care management, nearly 1,600 in-person home and office visits,and 13,000 phone calls regarding senior services, information, and referral. • Daily lunch and home delivered meals. For 2014 the city projects delivery of close to 100,000 meals in addition to having served 10,488 meals in the most recent fiscal year. Since opening,the center has continued to expand and include more recreation activities and services to meet a growing need. Huntington Beach with support from Council of Aging, continues to be the main funding source for these services. Recent demographic analysis reveals that during the 2000 to 2010 time frame,the greatest growth in population by age group was for Huntington Beach residents 65 years or older, increasing by 37%and those 55 to 64 years of age, increasing by 28%. This trend is similar to that evidenced in many communities and in Orange County where those 65 years or older grew by 43%and those 55-64 growing by 25%. These dramatic changes reflect the aging of a group known as the Baby Boomers and is a clear statistic that Huntington Beach must give consideration to assuring that facilities and services tailored to the special interests of seniors or mature adults are adequate to serve this population group. The construction of the new Roger's Senior Center at Central Park is a clear indication of the City's dedication to this population. Recommended Actions • With the upcoming move of the Senior Center to Central Park,the City should consider utilization of the existing site on Orange Street for: o Transfer of recreational easement to the Ascon site owned by Chevron and immediately adjacent to Edison Park. o Sub-divide property in up to 25 lots. o Utilize funds from selling of lots to develop the Ascon site at Edison Park and to fund other park improvements. • Work with Orange County and other public agencies to determine the needs of older adults in Huntington Beach and initiate planning to meet the needs identified in programming and service needs for older adults. • With the construction of a new Senior Center,the City of Huntington Beach should develop a Strategic Plan for 2015-2025 to guide future programs,services and staffing levels, and established goals in four planning areas: o Programs and services o Outreach to seniors o Communication with a larger community o Interaction at the Center Tool 4: Programming Assessment(2016) 132 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update • Address the needs of an aging population by expanding programming and encouraging participation in physical activity with an emphasis on the gentler aerobic activities. • Within existing programming market to older adults with an emphasis on well balanced fitness programs including gentler aerobics such as yoga,Tai Chi,and Pilates that offer a variety of benefits for health and disease prevention. • Identify partners or collaborators to assist in developing an increase in programs for older adults. Possible partners may include AARP,faith based organizations, health care providers, and educational institutions. • Offer additional lifelong learning programs such as creative arts, technology classes, lectures, short courses, and leisure classes that cater to the adults and particularly the aging baby boomer cohort. • In conjunction with local health providers evaluate potential roles for the City in helping meet the needs of the growing population of 85+seniors. As reported by the California Department of Aging,the fastest growing population is those over the age of 85 which quadrupled between 1990 and 2010, and projected to increase by 143% by 2020. • Offer educational travel opportunities and cultural outings with an emphasis on "off the beaten path," scheduled to attract the working retiree. • Provide more "inter-generational programming" to bring various age groups together to enjoy recreation events and activities. Special Events The Community Services Department plays a major role in organizing and assisting with special events within the city. Major annual citywide events, such as the U.S. Open of Surfing and Surf City Marathon involve significant allocations of staff support, resources, and miscellaneous services. The Department involvement ranges from small, such as the Mother/Daughter Tea to large. The variety of programming is extensive and a sampling includes Easter Egg Hunt, Golf Family Fun Day, Fuck Finn Fishing Derby, Family Campout, Summer Kick-off, New Year's Eve Dance, Summer Concert Series, Pier Swim, and the City Surf Contest. Special events are a unique community service that generate revenue through facility rental,admission fees, and concessions and revenue to the community through increased business activities and tourism. Recommended Actions • Huntington Beach should conduct and report to governing bodies economic profile reports of special events held within the city. • The Department should continue to play a major role, although working in cooperation with other government agencies and non-profits, to produce community-wide special events. Support Functions Support Functions needs relate to how programs and operations are implemented by the City of Huntington Beach including the operation and/or development of facilities to support the delivery of the recreational programming and policies or procedures necessary for the delivery of the programming. These may relate to support services or facilities and how they may impact many of the programs. Tool 4: Programming Assessment(2016) 133 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Fiscal and Coordinated Planning The City of Huntington Beach is served by four elementary school districts,one high school district, and one community college district. To minimize duplication and/or competition,the City should coordinate fiscal and coordinated planning with school districts and with other public and non-profit agencies to provide for the best use of public and private resources to meet recreation demands. In general,the partnerships between the City and the various school districts is not a model of cooperation and joint utilization of public facilities for public benefits. Out of the six school districts there are only two joint power agreements in place. Staff from both organizations should continue to meet and discuss changes required to initiate and or modify agreements to meet the changing needs and demands of the community. Recommended Actions • Conduct strategic planning for individual recreation and community service programs to anticipate future needs. • Report on an on-going basis to the public and policy makers the health and wellness outcomes of the City's programs and facilities. • The City should work towards updating and developing joint use agreements with each of the six school districts within the city limits to improve and expand use of indoor and outdoor school and city facilities and to potentially reduce duplication of services. • Due to the number of non-profits the Department coordinates with a bi-annual meeting should be held to coordinate activities, policies, and procedures. • Collaborate with Orange County and other public agencies to maximize opportunities to share resources in providing outdoor recreation and health and wellness programs. • Compare fee policies of other jurisdictions with the City's and establish an updated policy that supports established revenue generation goals for each program taking in consideration equity, cost recovery and consistency. • Pursue additional public-private partnerships with fitness clubs, golf courses, dance studios or other private recreation providers to provide recreation programs. • Develop multi-disciplinary health partnerships with schools, local hospitals, and health care providers, private health clubs, and other agencies to bring public information and educational programs that prevent obesity and successfully promote physical activity across entire communities. Staff Recruitment,Training, and Development Staff recruitment,training and development to retain a qualified and customer-oriented staff are critical to success. Employees must work together as a team with a shared vision of the Community Services Department priorities to provide support services and programs. It was a common concern among Department staff that part-time wages are not competitive and the result is the inability to retain trained staff. Recommended Actions • Conduct a salary survey for part-time staff comparing Huntington Beach's pay scale with several other Orange County Park and Recreation agencies., • Within resources available the City should ensure that they are providing competitive salaries, benefits and working conditions for all employees to facilitate the retention of a trained and competent work force. Tool 4: Programming Assessment(2016) 134 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update • Develop succession plan that provides for advancement of younger employees as baby boomers retire. • Develop a regular on-going customer service training program for all full-time and part-time employees. • Ensure that hiring practices will recruit qualified staff that represents the cultural diversity of the community. • Increase opportunities for professional development and team learning for staff including: o Creating a plan for legal, mandatory, professional development and technical skills training; o Evaluate current training opportunities and identify employee and City needs; o Ensure that training and growth are aligned with City's vision, mission , and goals; o Provide clear information to staff about professional development and advancement opportunities; o Increase opportunities for cross-training across divisions. • Develop employee work plans and employee work teams to implement the goals and objectives of the Master Plan. Development of a Huntington Beach Park Foundation The Huntington Beach Arts Center currently has a non-profit "501c3" foundation whose goal is to work with and support the Huntington Beach Arts Center. Although the Art Center Foundation has contributed limited funding to the Art Center in recent years,the City should explore the development of a second foundation to support Central Park including Shipley Nature Center, and Rogers Senior Center. The primary mission of a new foundation could be to: • To aid, sponsor, promote, advance, and assist in the provision of public parks, recreation and community services within Central Park. • To aid, sponsor, promote, advance, and assist in the provision of public parks, recreation and community services in the Huntington Beach Area. • To cooperate with and support the City of Huntington Beach and other community organizations in the development of interpretive, recreational, educational, environmental and community service programs throughout the city for the benefit and enjoyment of people in the service area. • To receive, invest, and manage funds acquired through dues, donations, grants,gifts, bequests, and solicitations in furtherance of the purposes and goals of the City. As a non-profit,the Foundation could assist with obtaining grants and donations on behalf of the City, in the event the City itself is not eligible. Recommended Actions • Work to develop a "501c3" organization that works with and supports City of Huntington Beach to support Central Park including Shipley Nature Center, and Rogers Senior Center. Marketing Marketing and communication of public information in both print and electronic media is essential to increase public awareness about programs and facilities to reach all ages, non-users and the underserved. The SANDS program guide is published four times each year with 80,000 copies mailed out with each edition. While the City provides an excellent level of service in many areas, improvement Tool 4: Programming Assessment(2016) 135 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update can be gained in some aspects of marketing, branding, and facility rental falls especially in the area of social media. Recommended Actions • Complete a comprehensive marketing plan that gives consideration and identifies potential promotional strategies for each of the following: o Networking-go where your market is; o Direct marketing-sales letters, brochures, flyers; o Advertising- print media, directories; o Training programs-to increase awareness; o Write articles,give advice, become known as an expert; o Direct/personal selling; o Publicity/press releases; o Trade shows, health/wellness fairs and similar events; o Web site. • Develop a Social Media marketing plan that includes web site improvements and increased online visibility based on establishing a brand for the City through a variety of social media sites including: o Facebook; o Twitter; o Blogs; o Events sites; o Video sites. • To help offset the costs of printing the SANDS Community Services Guide consideration should be given to selling additional advertisement within each addition. A common approach is to sell the inside and back covers. • Expand the Parks Make Life Better Photo Contest to supply photos for the interior pages of the SANDS Community Services Guide. • Explore marketing opportunities with the Chamber of Commerce and with key stakeholder groups in the community, including religious organizations,the school districts, scouting groups, art and cultural groups, and major businesses in the area. Consider target marketing based on customer's profile and data base information participation. • Market recreation as essential to healthy lifestyles for all ages and educate consumers about disease prevention and wellness programs accessible to them. • Utilize the CPRS VIP Principles in marketing programs e.g. sports and fitness programs promote health and wellness. • Utilize City of Huntington Beach website together with social media including regular"Twitter" and "Facebook" to brand classes, events, and programs with Parks Make Life Better! • Due to high demand and revenue potential the city should identify additional park locations for the development of group picnic rental sites. These could range in size from 32 (8 tables and a barbeque)to a capacity of over 150. Providing Services for a Growing and Ethnically Diverse Population that are Convenient and Equitably Distributed Providing services to a growing and ethnically diverse population should be an emphasis of the City due to the changing demographics. Further,these services should be convenient, accessible, and equitably Tool 4: Programming Assessment(2016) 136 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update distributed to all residents in terms of recreation programs, support services, and facilities needed close to home and/or centrally located. Providing services for a growing and ethnically diverse population will continue to challenge the City as the areas demographics continue to change and modest increases in diversity. For the period 2000- 2012 city residents showed a decline in the share of those identifying themselves as White, declining from 72%to 67%. Correspondingly, modest increases were noted among those identifying themselves as Asian/Pacific Islander(from 9%to 11%) or Hispanic(from 15%to 17%). Similar race or ethnic diversification was also noted in the Orange County demographic numbers. Recommended Actions • Expand public awareness of programs for persons with disabilities, and child and adult day care opportunities. • Provide adequate language translation services to include improved participation from new ethnic populations. Volunteers in Action (VIA) In a time of reduced tax funding opportunities and heavier reliance on alternative sources of funding, the use of volunteers is considered a valuable component of maintaining quality service levels. Volunteers are used in all aspects of Huntington Beach's operations,from assisting with senior services and projects to special events and nature programs. This past year the City recorded 54,817 hours in support of Senior Services programs,valued at over$1.3 million. Volunteer recruitment and training is a new challenge to community agencies as the volunteer pool diminishes because of working parents and aging WWII generation of steadfast, community volunteers. Offering meaningful volunteer opportunities to baby boomers and instilling volunteerism in youth will facilitate new volunteer support. Many agencies state-wide have initiated programs of Park Stewards who foster leadership and partial management of park sites in conjunction with city-staff. This program could be expanded to develop Play Stewards who would foster the same leadership qualities but within recreation programming. Recommended Actions • Develop a tracking system to record volunteer hours by program and activity type. • Work cooperatively with local service clubs to recruit volunteers for special projects or events. • In cooperation with schools and youth groups e.g. Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts engage youth in the design of and completion of volunteer work. • Create challenging and meaningful volunteer opportunities for all age segments in the community. This could include: o Park Stewards who with city leadership and cooperation lead the volunteer maintenance and restoration work in a city park, bringing together the needed volunteers, materials,technical knowledge, and other resources necessary to provide maintenance and to make on-the-ground improvements a reality. o Play Stewards who with city leadership and cooperation lead the volunteer recreation programming work within park sites and or facilities, bringing together the needed materials, technical knowledge of play, and other resources necessary to provide additional play and recreational opportunities to the youth of the city. o Develop a Park and Play Steward training and certification program that includes aspects of park maintenance, play, city procedures, and etc. o Park and Play Stewards would be coordinated and lead by City Staff and operate consistent with City policies.

Parks and recreation provides jobs and generates income for the community and for local businesses. A study conducted by Pennsylvania State University, "The Benefits of Local Recreation and Park Services -A Nationwide Study of the Perceptions of the American Public," compiled a listing of the benefits of local recreation and park services as perceived by the American public. Participants in the study could be divided into two groups: users of local recreation and park services and non-users. Surprisingly, 71%of non-users said they received some benefit from their communities' parks and recreational services. Individual and family benefits identified by users of local parks and recreation services: o Personal -42% o Social-38% o Facility/Activity- 12% o Environmental -6% o Economic-2% Tool 5: Demographic Trends (2016) 143 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Conclusions of the study included: o The vast majority of the American public uses local recreation and park services. o Playground use is the most common use. o Park and recreational service use continues throughout the life cycle. Recreational participation declines with age, but park use does not. In fact, people between the ages of 65 and 74 use local parks more frequently than any other age group except those under 14. o The majority of people that do not use parks and recreational services still perceive substantial benefit from them. o Sixty percent of the study's respondents perceive a "great deal" of community benefit from such services. o Seventy-five percent of respondents said that "local recreation and park services are worth $45.00 or more per member of their household" per year. o Local parks and recreation are associated with a sense of community. Community level benefits are considered more important than individual or household level benefits. EMERGING TRENDS Today, our country and the world has become more transient, fast paced, with consistent, rapid, and dramatic changes. Therefore, understanding the trends that affect the park and recreation industry is very important as the City moves through the process of developing a Parks and Recreation Master Plan to ensure sustainability and to meet the future community service needs of the community. An awareness of trends affecting the future economy,facility operation, and program participation will not only enhance the ability to meet growing and changing needs but open doors to new opportunities. Paying attention to current issues and understanding future issues will assist Huntington Beach in achieving sustainability and positioning parks and recreation as an essential service to the community. Emerging trends can be organized into five major subject areas: • Demographic Shift • Changing Life Styles • Society and Economy • Sustainability • Park and Recreation As these emerging trends are explained and discussed, it will become clear that there will be significant impacts on current facilities and the development of new park and recreation facilities. Foremost among these changes are: • "Intergenerational"facilities that address needs of all of the community's population regardless of age. • Facilities that support programs, and provide positive, safe, and secure recreational alternatives for healthy lifestyles and combat obesity. • Facilities that support programs and activities, promote personal connections, and allow the community to highlight and share their cultural heritage. • Neighborhood parks and facilities that allow for increased community connectedness. • Facilities that support increased multi-cultural family and art events. • Access to facilities, with flexible hours to accommodate user needs. • Facilities in which teens can call "home", program, and operate under teen leadership. Tool 5: Demographic Trends(2016) 144 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update • Facilities in which children can experience, learn, and develop an appreciation for nature and open space. Demographic Shift • Our Nation is aging, and so are the State and the City.The median age of Americans today is 37 years. By 2030, it is projected to be 39 years. Huntington Beach's median age was 40.9 in 2010 with 14.2%of the population over 65. Between 2000 and 2012,the age group 65+was projected to experience the largest increase in share, growing from 10.4 to 15.3 percent. For Huntington Beach's population, the fastest growing age group (percentage) was 60 and older with declines in percentage for the 0-9 and 25- 44 age groups. These numbers were similar for all races. The US Census Bureau projects that California's population for those over 65 will increase by 130% by 2030. • Households are shrinking nationwide,for Huntington Beach's population per household continues to be stable and in 2012 was 2.55. This is significantly smaller than Orange County 3.00 person per household. Household size for renter occupied units in 2010 was 2.14 California currently has the second highest average in the nation for owner-occupied at 2.93. • Our Nation becomes more culturally diverse. By 2020, the Hispanic population will reach 80 million, comprising one in five US residents. English as the language used at home has dropped from 87%in 1990 to 84.3%in 2000.Within the Huntington Beach City boundaries between 2000 and 2012,the share of Hispanic population in the city increased from 14.7 percent to 17.4 percent. • Huntington Beach continues to become more diverse with 11.1%of the population Asian. Further, between 2000 and 2012, the share of Non-Hispanic White population in the city decreased from 71.9 percent to 66.3 percent. • There will continue to be a growing population of individuals with special needs. In 2005, almost 22 million of older adults in our Nation had a functional deficit, and 12 million of this group had an activity limitation. This percentage will grow over time as the population ages. By 2030,these figures are projected to grow to 38 million and 22 million respectively, assuming both rates of functional and activity limitations remain the same. Changing Life Styles • Both "Gen X's" and "Gen Y's" crave fun, fast-paced and action-packed experiences; seek the pursuit of pleasure and the stimulation of the senses.They prefer collective activities, media and technology-based leisure and extreme sports. • Generation X" is the generation born after the baby-boom ended, between 1966 and 1976. Technologically speaking, Gen X has witnessed the rise of cable TV,video games and internet. Their political experiences and cultural perspectives were shaped by the end of the cold war,the fall of the Berlin Wall, and a series of US economic calamities such as the 1973 oil crisis, the 1979 energy crisis and the early 1980's economic recession. • "Generation Y", also known as the Millennial Generation or Generation Next, were born roughly between mid- 1970 and 2000. Expression and acceptance are highly important to this generation.They are very familiar with digital technologies, media and communications, Tool 5: Demographic Trends(2016) 145 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update including texting,tweeting,YouTube and Facebook.They often find comfort in on-line gaming. Their economic outlook has been hard hit by the late 2000's economic recession. • The high-tech world has given birth to a generation of sedentary lifestyles.The high-tech/high-touch generation shares common leisure activities such as internet surfing, computer and video games, social networking and TV watching.As a result, obesity prevalence for adults increased from 10%in 1990 to 24%in 1996, and is projected to rise to 35%by 2015. • The electronic world continues to expand. In 2009,438 million new consumer electronics were sold in the United States. By 2012, 78.9%of the nation's population had a computer at home and 74.8% internet access. This is up dramatically from 51%and 41.5% respectively in 2000. Further,there is a direct correlation There are now an estimated 10.5 with educational achievement and use of a computer. Data million health club members in the from the 2010 census revealed that for those with a BA, US who are over age 55. 89.7% had a computer at home. For those with less than a International Council of Active Aging high school education that figure dropped to 39.3%. • Situated along California's coast, Huntington Beach has convenient access to scenic mountains, natural areas and the Pacific Ocean. While this provides opportunities for people both seeking high-risk challenges and yearning for spiritual quests, walking and bicycling become the most popular activities statewide. Despite this,Walkscore.com gave Huntington Beach only a 52 score meaning a somewhat walkable city. In contrast, San Francisco was the second most walkable cities in the United States receiving scores of 83.9. Local comparisons include Long Beach at 66, Costa Mesa at 60, and Fountain Valley at 54. In 2008, California State Parks research found that 74%of Californians walk for fitness or pleasure. • The 2000 National Survey on Recreation and the Environment (NSRE) estimated that walking would grow 23%and 34% in the next 10 and 20 years respectively. Blessed with the great outdoors, and a push in California to make communities more walkable, one can expect even a higher rate in California. Society and Economy • Unemployment will continue to remain high in the foreseeable future.The Great Recession, technically ended in mid-2009, but has many lingering effects. A higher than "normal" unemployment rate ranging from 7-10%will likely stick around in California for at least another three to five years. Currently the unemployment rate in Huntington Beach ranges just over 4%, California is at 9%and the nation close to 8%. • Nation-wide the gap between those who "have" resources and "have-not" is getting wider. Within the Huntington Beach area the percentage of those living in poverty is relatively low, 8.3%as recorded by the American Community Survey 2006-10. For California, 13.3%are below the poverty level with the largest percentage being families headed by a single female. • The median household income for Huntington Beach in 2010 was$81,849 with the State of California at$60,392. From 2000 to 2012,the Median Household Income for Huntington Beach increased by $10,375 annually. For the Hispanic population the median household income was just under$60,000. Tool 5: Demographic Trends (2016) 146 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Age also reveals a difference. For Huntington Beach residents 45-64, median household income was $100,008 compared to$73,646 for the state and $63,398 for the nation. • The median value for owner occupied homes in Huntington Beach was$638,100 compared to $383,900 for California. Huntington Beach also revealed a higher than normal rate of owner occupied with 60.1%of single family residences owned compared to 56%statewide. • Crime continues to be a concern. According to neighborhood scout.com the crime rate in Huntington Beach is considerably higher than the national average across all communities in America from the largest to the smallest, although at 30 crimes per one thousand residents, it is not among the communities with the very highest crime rate. Based on FBI crime data, Huntington Beach is not one of the safest communities in America. Relative to California, Huntington Beach has a crime rate that is higher than 69%of the state's cities and towns of all sizes. However, compared to other communities of similar population size, Huntington Beach has a crime rate that is closer to the average.This means that for comparably sized cities all across America, Huntington Beach is actually safer than most. The violent crime rate for Huntington Beach in 2010 was 1.61 per thousand compared to California at 4.23, and nationally at 3.9 per thousand. Property crime told a different story with Huntington Beach a 28.1 per thousand, California at 27.59, and nationally 28.6. Thus,the violent crime rate in Huntington Beach was 62% lower than the violent crime rate in California but the property crime rate in was nearly the same, 2% higher, than the property crime rate in California. • Compared to other communities of similar population size, Huntington Beach has a crime index that is worse than 47%of the average for comparably sized cities nation-wide and 64%safer than cities in California. City-data.com utilizes a slightly different format to score cities crime index, counting more heavily serious crime and violent crime. City-data.com gives Huntington Beach a score of 191.6 for 2012 up from 165.86 in 2000. This compares favorably with a national average of 292.8 and locally with a 365 for Long Beach, 232 for Costa Mesa, and 130 for Fountain Valley. • Technology will continue to shape the way we live and do business. By 2012 in the US 56%of all Americans had a profile on Facebook and 98%of 18-24 year olds used Facebook and other social media sites. The average time spent on Facebook by US residents was 15 hours and 33 minutes per month. For the same time period Twitter processed more 58 million tweets per day an increase from 40 million in 2009. Internet use also showed a dramatic increase with 80%of US residents utilizing the Internet to research products and over 35%to find information about political or social policy issues, current affairs, or political campaigns. • In Los Angeles officials plan to roll out a free public Wi-Fi service at six public city parks, as well as a mobile service to handle service requests sent in from the field.Visitors to Cabrillo Beach, Echo Park Lake, Griffith Observatory, Pershing Square, Reseda Park and Venice Beach will be able to access the wireless network at designated hotspots, according to the city. Meanwhile San Francisco has partnered with Google to roll out free Wi-Fi at a number of public spaces in the city. Google donated $600,000 to the city to help buy and install Wi-Fi equipment and cover maintenance costs at 32 parks. • Nationally,there is an emerging recognition that parks and recreation services play a significant role in improving the quality of life of the City, and that parks and open space are catalysts for both community building and economic development. A series of Parks Forum discussion papers recently released by Tool 5: Demographic Trends (2016) 147 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update American Planning Association directly associate well-maintained parks and greenways with a strong sense of place and community identity, enhanced property values, and business, future homeowner and tourist attractions. • According to the Center for Disease Prevention and Control more than two thirds of Americans are overweight and one-third is obese. Obesity prevalence in 2013 varies across states and regions: o No state had a prevalence of obesity less than 20%. o 7 states and the District of Columbia had a prevalence of obesity between 20%and <25%. o 23 states had a prevalence of obesity between 25%and <30%. o 18 states had a prevalence of obesity between 30%and <35%. o 2 states(Mississippi and West Virginia) had a prevalence of obesity of 35%or greater. o The South had the highest prevalence of obesity(30.2%), followed by the Midwest(30.1%),the Northeast (26.5%), and the West (24.9%). California Center for Public Health • In 2011, California was ranked as the 12th least obese Advocacy estimates that in 2012, state in America (38 states are more obese) although Californian's spent$21 Billion obesity rates had increased by over 78%. Obesity in resulting from the health California has almost doubled over the last 15 years, and consequences of obesity. California currently is at 24.8%for adults. In addition, nationwide was number one for all states in diabetes has also almost doubled to 8.7%and 25.5%of the total expenditures. people are reporting high blood pressure. • A recent study by the Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation projected a nation-wide obesity rate of 42%by 2030 with California increasing from the current level of 24.8%to 47%. • While recent studies indicate a declining obesity rates among 2-5 year olds another study indicated opposite results for older children. Over 250 California cities were analyzed by UCLA Center for Health Policy Research and the California Center for Public Health Advocacy. The study was based on children in 5th, 7th and 9th grades. Around 38%of the children in California are overweight or obese. Huntington Park in Los Angeles County topped the list with 53.0%. Locally, Huntington Beach was at 26.4%and Orange County was also below the state average at 33.3%. Stanton topped the county list at 51.8%and the lowest City was Laguna Beach at 14.3%. Manhattan Beach in Los Angeles County had the lowest rate in the state, with just 11.3%of children obese. • Economics also plays a large role in the likelihood of a person being obese. One-third of adults who earn less than $15,000 per year are obese, compared with one-quarter of the population who earn at least$50,000. • Research in the Journal of Transport and Health says cities with a more compact street network had reduced rates of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, while wider streets and more lanes were tied to higher disease levels. "This research is one more in a long line that demonstrates the myriad advantages of fostering walkable places," researcher Norman Garrick said. • A Doctor from the District of Columbia has started to write prescriptions for outdoor play. About 40 percent of Dr. Robert Zarr's young patients are overweight or obese, which has led the doctor to come up with ways to give them very specific recommendations for physical activity. Zarr writes park prescriptions on a special prescription pad, in English and Spanish, with the words"Rx for Outdoor Tool 5: Demographic Trends (2016) 148 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Activity" on top, and a schedule slot that asks, "When and where will you play outside this week?" In the San Francisco area, UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland and the East Bay Regional Park District have partnered on a Park Prescriptions Program.The goal is to reduce chronic obesity and promote physical activity among children. Similar examples have occurred in Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington. • According to the CDC, health care expenditures in 2007 represented 16.7%of gross domestic product (GDP) and are projected to grow to 19%of GDP by 2017. Medical costs associated with obesity were estimated at$147 billion per year; on average, annual medical costs for people who are obese were $1,429 higher than for individuals of normal weight. Sustainability • There is a renewed awareness and sensitivity to the preservation of our natural environment. Many cities have developed best practices and strategies to address open space and urban forest preservation, wildlife habitat and natural area restoration, invasive plant management and shoreline/wetland/critical area management. • Another fast growing trend is the construction of"green" buildings using Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified strategies to improve energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emission reductions and stewardship of resources. Since the inception of the LEED certification system in 1998,the U.S. Green Building Council has grown to encompass more than 14,000 projects in the United States and 30 countries covering 1.062 billion square feet (99 km2) of development area. • There is a trend to utilize ecologically sound management practices in park and facility maintenance and operation.This would include recycling programs, reduced use of pesticides, energy-efficient lighting installations,water conservation and bio-swale additions in park design to reduce water runoff. • Contra Costa County in the San Francisco Bay area has started a Green Business Program based out of Contra Costa County Health Services, Hazardous Materials Program. The program works with businesses to conserve resources and prevent pollution, possibly becoming Green Business certified using sector- Ten Principles for Building Healthy specific criteria.

Park and Recreation Industry • Urban parks are on the rise to address open space and leisure walking needs within the compact built environment. Urban parks are commonly expressed in the form of paved plazas or courtyards adorned with public arts and water features, or linear urban trails with widened boulevard, city streetscapes and bike facilities. Sometimes,these urban parks are interspersed with community gardens to replace lost backyards in high-density living. •A recent study published in the February 2012 issue of Pediatrics claimed that because of stricter licensing codes, playgrounds are now less physically challenging and more boring to children. "The emphasis on pre-academics, concerns about safety, and limitation in budgets and space have created the perfect storm for young children to get less than the desired amount of physical education and exercise," Dr.Andrew Adesman, Chief of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics at the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children's Medical Center of New York. • The School District of Richland, Washington, is removing their swing sets, with school officials claiming they are under pressure from insurance companies to keep liabilities from playground injuries to a minimum. A report from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates over 200,000 playground equipment-related injuries are treated every year in U.S. hospital emergency rooms,with about 17 of these accidents resulting in death. In Vancouver, a 7-year-old girl died after falling off a swing set. The girl had not told anyone of her fall and complained to her father about feeling dizzy after walking home from school that day. After her brother later found her sick in her room,the family rushed the girl to Vancouver hospital where she was diagnosed with traumatic brain injury. • A CPSC study found just under half(about 45 percent) of all playground injuries occurred on equipment at schools and about 31 percent in public parks, while a quarter involved other children, such as when a child walks in front of a swing. Falls accounted for about 81 percent of the injuries on home equipment and 79 percent of the injuries on public equipment.And,virtually all of the falling injuries, whether public or private,occurred from distances of less than 10 feet.According to United Educators, most playground injury lawsuits cite negligence, which allows for an injured party to seek compensation if a school or staff member fails to act reasonably under the circumstances. • There is an increasingly vocal group of play experts (including environmental psychologists,child development specialists, educators and landscape architects)who see creative play as serious work providing time for kids to learn, discover and be creative.They advocate the creation of a play environment open to manipulation.They see the addition of familiar swings and slides as only offering repetitive gross-motor play activities often isolated from other activities. Instead,they recommend adventure playgrounds made up of"loose parts," such as water, sand, balls and other manageable materials, for children to work, explore, and create and make-believe. • Sports have become more specialized providing year-round competitive opportunities to develop a child from recreation play to a scholarship-earning level over a longer season at a younger age. Figures released by the Sporting Goods Association of America (SGMA) show that among youths and teens aged 7-17,there has been an increase in skateboarding (75%), snowboarding (30.3%),tackle football (23.5%), tennis (9.5%), bowling (8.5%) and soccer(4.6%). However, participation has decreased in such sports as Tool 5: Demographic Trends (2016) 150 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update in-line skating (-60.4%), softball (-36.1%),fresh water fishing For all ages aerobic exercising (-20.2%) skiing (-28.5%), volleyball (-8.7%), basketball (- showed a 16.3%increase while yoga 17.9%),golf(-17.3%), bicycle riding (-14.1%), mountain had the highest increase in biking(-13.8%) and baseball (-12%). Besides a five-fold participation up by 28% in 2010 but growth in soccer over the past two decades, sport trends slowing to less than 5% by 2012. between 2007 and 2009 concluded that respectable gains in Ironically,the sale of"yoga pants" participation were found in court volleyball (up 17.2%), was up by 78%. indoor soccer(up 11.8%), rugby(up 11.8%) and beach NSGA Survey volleyball (up 7.5%). • According to a 2013 article in The Wall Street Journal, participation in four youth sports, basketball, soccer, baseball, and football all experienced decline in numbers, although participation in youth lacrosse was up 158%according to the SFIA/Physical Activity Council Survey and hockey saw a 64% among 6-to 18-year-olds. The article examined data from youth leagues, school sports groups, and industry associations from 2008 to 2012. Significant findings included: • Combined participation in the four most-popular team sports listed above fell among boys and girls aged 6 through 17 by about 4%. • The population of 6-to 17-year-olds in the U.S. fell US Youth Soccer player registration just 0.6 percent during that same time period, decreased by over 50,000 and is according to the U.S. Census. projected to drop by an additional • Participation in high school football was down 2.3% 164,590 in 2012, leaving an overall in 2012-2013 compared to the 2008-2009 season, total of less than three million for according to the National Federation of State High the first time in more than 12 years.

The United Stated Bocce Federation states that there are about 1 million players currently in the United States. Within the Orange County area, Irvine and Fountain Valley each have courts and Tustin is planning to build two courts. Tool 5: Demographic Trends (2016) 151 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update • Pickleball was invented the summer of 1965 on Bainbridge Island, Washington, at the home of Joel Pritchard,then a state representative and later a congressman. Pritchard and a couple of friends tried to get a game of badminton together for their families but couldn't find a shuttlecock.They improvised with a whiffle ball, lowered the net, and made paddles from some plywood. Currently,the sport of pickleball is exploding in popularity.The number of places to play has nearly doubled since 2010. There are now well over 2,000 locations on the USA Pickleball Association's Places to Play map.The spread of the sport is attributed to its popularity within community centers, physical education classes,YMCA facilities and retirement communities.The sport continues to grow worldwide as well with many new international clubs forming and national governing bodies now established in Canada and India. • Community gardens have grown in popularity over the last decade, as people have become more aware of the value of eating organic local food. Furthermore, fruit and vegetables have grown more expensive due to global warming and other climate changes. Community gardens generally provide fresh produce as well as flowers,and they are a lovely sight in an urban neighborhood. The USDA claims that approximately 15%of food today is grown in urban areas, in backyards, on apartment balconies and in community gardens. Community gardens can improve nutrition for a neighborhood, particularly for low-income persons. • Bike advocates argue that separation is key to driving up cyclist participation. And so it appears from a new study of early separated lane projects in the United States. Across six cities,the study finds a rise of ridership between 21%and 171%after the lanes were installed. The report from Portland State University looks at eight "Green Lane" projects sponsored by PeopleForBikes, an advocacy group in Colorado. Researchers tracked the impact of the new lanes in Austin, Chicago, Portland (Oregon), San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., by analyzing camera footage, interviewing cyclists, and sending out surveys to 35.6 million Americans age seven local residents. Almost half of riders said they were cycling and older were estimated to have more frequently as a result of the new lanes, with those on ridden a bicycle six times or more in Dearborn Street, in Chicago, reporting the biggest increase. 2013,according to the National Most importantly, the research found that the lanes Sporting Goods Association.This increased participation in cycling generally. number was down 9.4%from 2012 that had 39.3 million participants. • San Francisco is focusing on community-building through The peak participation year was play as a way to hold onto the roots of diverse 1995,with 56.3 million participants. neighborhoods in a time of rapidly changing demographics. The city is increasing playspaces to activate surrounding communities and is installing new innovative playground models to encourage active play and facilitate healthy and successful child development. • Extreme sports are on the rise in most cities. A 2008 SGMA Report showed that among those aged 6 years and older,the most popular extreme sports in the US, listed in a decreasing order of participation, included in-line skating, skateboarding, mountain biking, snowboarding, paintball, cardio kickboxing, climbing (indoor, boulder), running, ultimate Frisbee,wakeboarding, mountain/rock climbing, BMX bicycling, roller hockey and boardsailing/windsurfing. • Nationwide, new Community Center design and construction has placed more emphasis on the scale of development,the use of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles, and the Tool 5: Demographic Trends(2016) 152 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update pursuit of LEED certification. Large multi-purpose centers, usually over 65,000 sq.ft., could help increase cost recovery, promote retention, and encourage cross-use. • Forming partnerships and engaging volunteers have become efficient ways of doing business.Today, over 95%of park and recreation agencies have formed some kind of partnerships to extend their reach, increase programming capabilities and expand funding ability. According to a 2009 Recreation Management article, the most common partners include local schools(75.2%), other local government agencies (69.1%), nonprofit organizations(59.8%), state government(43.9%) and private corporations, service clubs or local businesses(38.5%). • Dallas recently privatized its zoo and is considering carrying out a similar plan for a 277-acre park compound that includes museums and historic buildings and which hosts the annual State Fair of Texas. The process could be more complicated because there are multiple tenants and organizations, according to supporters. The proposal grew out of a mayoral task force recommendation that the park be privately managed as a way to realize its maximum potential. The task force recommended that the city increase funding for the park but turn over governance to a private, nonprofit board —the model used for the city's 2009 agreement with the Dallas Zoological Society. • Many Park and Recreation agencies have begun to extensively search for solutions to create and sustain healthy finances.They aggressively pursue alternatives to expand funding sources beyond general fund tax dollars, improve cost-recovery and explore park facilities as self-sufficient revenue centers. • Funding measures continue to find a difficult sell with the voters. Los Angeles County's proposed parks tax, Measure P,failed to win voter approval in the November 2014 election. Measure P needed two-thirds of the vote countywide to pass, but it received 62 percent. Measure P would have implemented a 30-year tax of$23 a parcel per year on county properties to fund park and recreation projects countywide. In contrast, park measures in Santa Clara County, Berkeley, and Woodland passed. • To be more accountable,transparent, responsive and effective, today more and more cities and their parks and recreation departments are using business models to gain better efficiencies.This would require a paradigm shift towards a business mindset in planning and managing services,with emphasis on core business, best practices, smart operation, performance management and customer service. Today, the park and recreation industry faces the on-going challenges of meeting or exceeding the expectations of their diverse and aging population and stiffer competition for tax dollars. Tool 5: Demographic Trends(2016) 153 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Sports Organization Questionnaire (2015) To supplement the information regarding participation in organized sports which was obtained from the 2015 telephone survey, a questionnaire was designed and distributed to the organized sports organizations that use the City facilities. This questionnaire obtained information regarding the number of players and teams in the league or sports organization, age ranges of the players, what seasons they play, if they travel outside Huntington Beach to play, if they participate in tournaments,ratings of field/facility maintenance and scheduling,projections of growth and facilities they have the greatest need for both now and in the future. The questionnaire was distributed by the City staff and twenty-one (21) sports organizations responded. Some of the factual information is summarized in Exhibit 1. The information regarding the number of players, size of teams, seasonality and turnover of facilities for both games and practice are used to better define peak day demand and convert that to the number of facilities required to meet the needs of this segment of the recreation market. Information regarding which of the facilities are currently being used by the sports groups provides input to the inventory of sports facilities regarding usage for adult sports,youth sports and practices. Another question addresses the percentage of the players in each organization that live within the City of Huntington Beach. This varies widely by type of sport and in Huntington Beach reflects that a number of participants in certain sports reside outside of Huntington Beach. As will be discussed below, demand for facilities to accommodate organized sports are adjusted to accommodate all players in the leagues, regardless of whether they are living in Huntington Beach. The results are tabulated below: Organization Percent of Players from Huntington Beach Seaview Little League 98 Ocean View Little League 95 Robinwood Little League 95 Huntington Valley Little League 95 Fountain Valley Youth Baseball 35 Huntington Beach Girls Softball 65 South H.B.

Newland Park-The grass in the open field has missing chunks of grass and unevenness which causes the elderly and young kids to trip constantly. Also, flooding occurs in the sandy playground by the school and that needs to be updated. The play structures by the school are worn out and needs to be reimagined. 2. Make the workshops in person collaboration of community and staff like when the city did the urban planning workshop. 3. Bocce ball courts that were planned for Edison Park and never got funded. SE HB will not travel to Murdy. 4. We would love to have some pickleball courts in Harbor View Park. Thank you! 5. Please keep all parks open to the public. Please don't sell off land. In my area of the city, due to the school district's sale of land, we don't have soccer fields for our kid's long term. Please find a way to continue having a place for our kids to play. Thank you. 6. Priority should be for passive open space, walking/hiking/biking activities, incorporating naturalized environments and native plants for habitat. 7. Find a way to connect park pathways. Central Park should be better connected to other open area spaces. Coordinate better across different agencies and private, nonprofits. Better public aquatic pool facilities tied into beach programs. Drought tolerant planting. Work together with private golf courses in regards to water conservation and recycled water. Increased use of alternate energy sources throughout the city. Maximize use of new desalination plant. Determine appropriate population measures so the city isn't overburdened. More apartment buildings are great as long as it means more open space and better infrastructure for all residents. Tool 7: Community Engagement 184 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update 8. Clean up and replacement of equipment at neighborhood parks is needed! New parks are being added to new neighborhoods, but nothing is being done about existing parks. Many of the existing parks need new playground equipment, benches, etc. 9. Any plan for Bartlett Park improvements or Master Planning? Thanks. 10. Harriet Weider Park is overrun by homeless &vagrants. PLEASE clean it up. It is not safe. Please limit development in Central Park and around the Central Library. This should be a quiet natural area that can be an escape from the city. There is no need for large playground equipment- this is not meant to be a 'fun zone'; keep it open space and let kids experience nature. 11. Quit allowing rich people to tear down old places and build two ugly three stories!!! We are losing the little history HB has!!! 12. Please help build small cottage type places for first time buyers. The ones that really live and love HB are being bought out by richy riches that don't even live here full time! 13. Need to make sure the parks have rangers and better maintenance; trees being planted, and garden beds cares for. Also need open spaces for kids to play sports. 14. Hello- We would like to suggest a major reforestation effort in Huntington Central Park. During the pandemic- HCP was the only place in town that was open to residence to walk and get exercise. The beaches, pier,walkways around town were all closed to people, but thankful Huntington Central Park never closed. We lost hundreds and hundreds of trees and plants due to the drought and the Shot Hole Bore Beetles. A focused effort needs to happen to replace these missing trees and plants to help beautify this very important gem of a park. Thanks! 15. Make neighborhood park maintenance and renovations as important as the waterfront. Residential neighborhood parks are neglected; eauipment is outdated and failing. My neighborhood park is left undeveloped. 16. Park needs cleanup and updated equipment 17. There is a riverbed that runs from corner of Goldenwest and Warner, all the way down to the backside of the Bolsa Chico Wetlands. Right now, it's a service road so there is already structural integrity. Could we turn this into a bike path? 1. It would create bike access to the beach for 1000s of residence. 2. Encouraging biking is better for air quality and lowers auto traffic. 3. Having a designated trail is much safer and makes biking to the beach accessible for kids. Warner Ave is very dangerous to bike on. High speeds and sections where the bike lane is very small. 4. This would be a major boost to property values for all the tracks bordering this trail (20+ tracks). To help advance this cause what would my next steps be? Signatures from residents? Tool 7: Community Engagement 185 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update 18. Playground is falling apart. Bolts are exposed and metal is pealing off the steps , exposing corrosion that is dangerous to the children. Playground is in bad condition. 19. Love the commitment to the Urban Forest and the expanse trails being made to reach the beach!! Lovely. The addition of Pickleball courts to Worthy was necessary but would like to see WIND SCREENS like are put on tennis courts. Also MORE pickleball courts as it is the fastest growing sport in USA. Please take a look at how many active SENIORS use this facility. It is crowded from 8:00 am each day and even more on weekends. The Surf City PB tournament in Sept shows the interest in this sport by the number of entries each year. Surely some more PERMANENT courts can be placed at Murdy and Edison Parks!! Please research the growth of Pickleball for ALL ages and see the interest and participation it provides for ALL AGES. Thank you for your time and listening. 20. I love central park and the ability to fish and have access to the open space, greenery, walkways, and nature. It would be awesome to see something done with the Lake Ranc basin and area just south of the HB sports complex. Adding walkways and fishing access to this lake would be an awesome addition to central park and the city of Huntington Beach. Its a shame to drive by the space and see if fenced off and unused. 21. I would love to see Carr Park updated. The geese have become overwhelming and it's not a safe place for kids. Can we do a fence line of shrubs and include more opportunities for families to spend time there? Maybe a soort court or paved picnic areas. Murdy park is also a concern as the play structures are mostly outdated and the sand has been found to have razor blades and food and dog and cat poo. I love the parks in our newer neighborhoods like the one off Yorktown and the new development off graham. 22. Could there please be a bathroom in the Bolsa Chica Wetlands at the end of the bike/walk paths that begin from the west end of Slater, where said path meets PCH? Thanks. 23. The city needs to keep Bartlett Park better maintained. 24. More wider walking paths that are smoother for parents with strollers to get more exercise while pushing,a stroller. There is a rough walking path that goes from Warner to Ellis by the power lines which would be a great walking/biking oath but it is too rough for strollers or young biker riders. It would be great for more outdoor workout eauipment at some of the parks. Tool 7: Community Engagement 186 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update 25. Could lighting and water be added to parks like Discovery Wells parking lot and basketball court? Our Park has been used more and more which is great but I feel the night, dark cover makes it also an ideal meet up for bad elements at night. I also worry about park rangers turning HB into Irvine. I don't want the over planned and patrolled feel. Why we chose HB in 1995 and bought our home in 1998 was because there was diversity in open space. The manicured look was in the gated communities, but the Wetlands and Central Park are wonderful places to let our kids explore. I remember when Brightwater was approved and our 4-year-old son asked "where did all the exploring go?" That was a very insightful and sad comment and I worry about that character disappearing with every bit of land being developed. I'm hopeful with the plans I see for Rodger Senior Center to be a passive park and with this master plan process. I would also love to see plans include bike paths/trails. 26. Could the plan include bike paths/trails? We do have bike lanes on the roads and I love the Shipley to Shore trail. With electric bikes and with the population growth, it would be wonderful to give HB residents more options to safely bike around town. Enforcing the speed limit on the beach strand was a great solution over banning electric bikes. I'd love to see a way to get to Bella Terra, Main St, Pacific City, Seacliff Village, Peter's Landing and other destinations safely with bikes. 27. Central Park East and West, and Central Library need squirrel abatement. Playground equipment needs updating, with rust and erosion of some areas of metal on the steps— a perfect storm for cuts requiring tetanus shots. 28. Greer Park is in really bad shape. The homeless people break glass out there and we find it in the sand and also drug items like vaping boxes, etc. The playground is pretty much not safe for kids anymore because of this. They need to not have sand and put that rubber mat material down. The playground equipment is real old and is dirty and has lots of spider webs. Come on HB. This park is not usable for our kids and something should be done asap. Farhad Bolourchi said that he doesn't see Greer Park listed as one that will be updated. That's terrible. What needs to happen for this to be done? A child is going to be seriously injured from the glass in the sand and stuff. Long time HB resident since 1985, Lori Shepler 29. I have recently started playing pickleball. Would love to see courts built at Edison Park. 30. Redo the basketball courts. 31. Huntington Beach needs more variety when it comes to playgrounds and especially equipment. As a parent I really think HB needs to be open to more playground equipment and design choices. We live in an iconic destination city; our playgrounds should be a reflection of that. I see the same failing playground equipment throughout our playgrounds that have just been recently replaced. Surrounding cities are way ahead of us when it comes to destination playgrounds. Tool 7: Community Engagement 187 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update 32. There are probably 200 people a week that play Pickleball at Worthy Park on only 4 courts. On an average of 20 people wait to play every day and night. The young and the old have become very interested in this game and there are not enough words for all the people in Huntington Beach to play. On top of that you are holding Pickleball classes that take up prime time. We need more courts, we need more courts, we need more courts please. How do we go about getting more? 33. More pickleball courts requested, it takes up a quarter the size of a tennis court and is easy to learn. 34. Need more pickle ball courts with night lights" 35. We need more Pickleball courts. We only have 4 public courts in the entire city of 200,000 people. Newport Beach has 4 public courts in a city of 88,000. Both places are extremely busy all the time. Also. Please put wind screens and fences around the courts like we have on all the tennis courts. This is very important to the active seniors in HB. The city has promised to have more courts for the last few years, but nothing has been done. Thank you. 36. Please consider building a state-of-the-art pickleball club. So much revenue can be created from hosting pickleball tournaments. Please look into the popularity of this fast-growing sport. Thank you for your consideration. 37. Would love to see the empty grass lot in Edison Park by baseball fields/HB Unified Headquarters, turned into a fenced in dog park, with dog play apparatus & water features 38. I appreciate the city's plan to build more Pickleball courts; there is a definite increase in the number of people playing on the courts. It is an especially good low-impact sport for older players. Installing a wind barrier at the Worthy Park courts is essential. The strong wind makes it nearly impossible to play with regulation Pickleball whiffle balls. 39. As a city we have lots of great spaces with equipment for young children and I would like to see more places for older children and teens-which was not available for my kids as they grew, (like skating and bike zones) and I like the area where people can race remote controlled cars. I support variety and a balance of spaces to appeal to all ages. We also have the issue of dogs in parks often off-leash and disseminating waste in areas where people play. I am also a teacher and notice the problem of people and dogs on school yards. Obviously, management of this is a challenge, but more signage, to help people distinguish between park and school ground, and encouraging leashes and pickup after pets or with policies would be helpful to increase awareness. 40. Online outreach great idea. Busy life busy schedule. 41. Who is RJM?Nothing on the website. Until we know who the principals and Board names, it's impossible to know if their track record is positive or a disgraceful What % of the budget goes to whomever DJM is. Per websites, RJM doesn't seem to have much experience. Tool 7: Community Engagement 188 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update 42. It would be great to see Huntington Beach improve accessibility around the city for bikers. Many people travel by bike to the beach or downtown area. The only bike path that goes to the beach is the Santa Ana River trail. It would be nice to have another bike path which is separate from traffic to get people across town safely and enjoyably. Many of the streets are wide enough to accommodate a barrier between and the bike lane. Trees and plants could be added along the trails as well. Along that same line, a running trail to the beach would also be an enjoyable upgrade. Perhaps the running trail and bike trail could be on the same street. A simple addition of a main bike /running trail would improve safety and quality of life core residents. Lastly, bathrooms are missing from many of the parks in south Huntington Beach neighborhoods. These are always a nice feature to have when hosting birthday parties at the parks which is all too common an occurrence now with covid in the picture. 43. You should do easy face lifts to the parks. For example, put sand in the play areas of Greer Park. How hard is that? It wouldn't cost a lot either. Quick clean- up of the parks and broken equipment goes a long way. 44. When will you be announcing the projects you plan on completing? 45. It would be wonderful to see an adaptive recreation park, which includes a baseball field and basketball courts, specifically for people with special needs. This community is so often not able or allowed to play in traditional sports leagues, and a facility for them would be a wonderful addition to the city.

Exhibit 4: Service Area Gap Analysis Map Tool 8: Community Needs Assessment 241 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update To analyze the distribution of existing City parks, a service area radius map is created for City-owned mini, neighborhood, and community parks (see exhibit 3.1-8). When areas zoned for residential use fall outside of these service area designations, they are identified as an underserved neighborhood or "gap area". The City has excellent coverage providing park space that is geographically distributed throughout the community. There are however some gaps as identified in exhibit 3.1-8. 1 This area of the community is bisected by the interstate 405 freeway, a rail road line, and major arterials. These barriers make it difficult to provide any significant trails to connect parkland to this neighborhood. There is however a John Land Park in the City of Westminster that does service this community within a 1/2 mile radius. #2 There are neighborhood areas to the east and west of Beach Blvd that lie just outside the City neighborhood parks service radius. Within these areas the private HOA communities have local pool and park spaces available that serve their communities as well as Westmont Elementary School within a 1/2 mile radius that has playground and active turf for recreation opportunities. #2 While this specific area does fall outside the typical mini park and neighborhood park radius it is within a 1/2 mile radius of Huntington Central Park (a Large community Park) as well as borders access to the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. #4 This area has a segmented neighborhood bordered by the Talbert Channel on the west, south and east sides. This community is served by Cordata Park, an adjacent neighborhood park in the City of Fountain Valley. #5 This area however identified as residential is a commercial nursery and electrical grid station. The adjacent neighborhoods surrounding this location are close in proximity to Lamb Park and Arevalos Park, both parks are located in and owned by the City of Huntington Beach.

Tool 9: Recommendations City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update FUNDING INFORMATION Description of Financing Mechanisms for Local Park Agencies A variety of financing methods are used by special districts and other governmental agencies to finance the acquisition, development, maintenance, and operation of parks and recreation facilities. Many of these will require cooperation and collaboration with other agencies or organizations.This listing is a summary of available opportunities and not intended to make any specific recommendation as to what mechanisms are appropriate. Property Tax Financing The residents vote for a "special"tax for a defined period of time. The tax is assessed on commercial and residential property.This type of tax offers a steady stream of revenue to develop and maintain parks. Unless a tax is a "general tax," a 2/3 vote of the community or affected area is required. Property taxes are relatively easy to administer at the local level, revenues can be accurately predicted, and the tax burden is equitably distributed. Perhaps the most important factor when considering a property tax- backed parks and open space measure is track record. Despite the dislike of property taxes,voters in many communities have been willing to accept an increase when revenues are specifically earmarked for parks. Assessment Districts Benefit Assessment Districts: An assessment district is a special purpose mechanism available to local government agencies for developing and maintaining facilities and resources in a defined geographic area.The costs of the facilities are recaptured based on a benefit/assessment spread.They can be established by local government using their authority under the Lighting and Landscape Act of 1972 (L&L) or by voter initiative.The assessments are made on cost per lot, per acre, or some other parcel-by parcel basis.With the passage of Proposition 218, agencies are now required to have the property owners vote on any new or increased assessment.The process uses a mailed ballot to property owners. Each ballot is weighted by the assessment it represents. If a majority of the weighted ballots are in support, the assessment district is adopted by a Governing Board resolution. Mello Roos Community Facilities District(CFD): A Special District is created to provide certain public facilities and services in a given area.A special tax is imposed on property owners to finance specific public projects. It is secured by taxes within the district and is levied each year for public projects.Taxes can also support maintenance. Mello-Roos is California's state enabling legislation for this type of district. Park and recreation facilities may be funded in this way but a two-thirds voter approval is necessary. Unlike Special Districts these districts lack a governmental structure with management responsibilities. Mello-Roos is most commonly used in newly developing areas and used in combination with other developer based funding, such as impact fees and development agreements. Tool 10: Funding (2016) 245 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Business Improvement Districts:A somewhat controversial financing tool is the Business Improvement District or BID. Like special assessment districts, BID's assess residents within set boundaries for additional services, such as park maintenance and public safety. This is a direct tax levy on business license holders and/or property owners. They are unique, however, in that they establish a partnership between property owners and businesses in downtown or commercial areas for the purpose of improving the business climate in a defined area. Impetus for the BID generally comes from business and property owners hoping to attract tourists and new customers by cleaning up sidewalks, improving parks, increasing lighting, etc.These business owners want better services within their neighborhood and are willing to pay for it. In some places,they are willing to take on nongovernmental tasks, such as marketing,to supplement public services. It is in the public interest to promote the economic revitalization and physical maintenance of the business districts of its cities in order to create jobs, attract new businesses, and prevent the erosion of the business districts. It is of particular local benefit to allow cities to fund business related improvements, maintenance, and activities through the levy of assessments upon the businesses or real property that benefits from those improvements. Borrowing General Obligation Bonds:A General Obligation Bond is secured by the public agency's taxing power and is the least expensive form of public debt for public improvements. A general obligation bond is essentially a loan taken out by a city,county or special district against the value of the taxable property in the locality.A bond requires two-thirds voter approval. If passed by voters ad valorem taxes are simply increased by a specific amount for a specific period. Bond measures require strong support from the community to pass.The advantage of the bonds is that they allow for immediate purchase of land, renovation of existing or development of new facilities. Bond proceeds cannot be used for maintenance and operations. Revenue Bonds: These are paid from a tax levied for the use of a specific public project or with the proceeds from the fees charged to those who use the facility that the bonds finance.These bonds are not constrained by debt ceilings like general obligation bonds.Voter approval is rarely required, since the government is not obligated to repay the debt if the revenue stream does not flow as predicted. Revenue bonds are more expensive to repay than general obligation bonds. Certificates of Participation(COP's): COP's are financing techniques that provide long term financing through a lease, installment sale agreement, or loan agreement.They do not constitute indebtedness under the state constitutional debt limitation and are not subject to the statutory requirement applicable to bonds.They are securities designed for the small investor.The COP's require identification of a revenue source for repayment before issuance. Park and recreation facilities with user fees such as golf courses, swimming pools,theatres, are the most viable improvements for this type of financing. Cities, districts, and counties will often pool several public facilities in one issue and pledge future general fund or enterprise revenue for the repayment. Tool 10: Funding(2016) 246 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Development Related Fees Quimby Parkland Dedication: The "Quimby Act" enables local governments to exact the dedication of land or in-lieu fees for parks as part of the subdivision approval process. Although the Act has provided for the acquisition of land for parks in new subdivisions; it has limitations when an area is built-out. It can provide funds for improvements, but not maintenance.The dedication or fee is based on the local agencies adopted park standards per thousand population. Local cities and counties must pass an ordinance to enact Quimby provisions. It is also only applicable to residential subdivisions and does not address park demands created through in-fill development, condominium conversions or commercial and industrial developments. For fiscal year 2012/13 the City of Huntington Beach collected $351,130 and projected collection of$500,000 for fiscal year 2013/14. The in-lieu fees are based on the cost of land and do not provide adequate funding for park development.The fees can be used for improvements but that use is restricted to the area where the fee is collected. Development Impact Fees: Development Impact Fees(AB 1600 fees) on development is another option for local agencies.The fees or exactions are based on the premise that new development generates new demand for park and recreation facilities.The fees only apply to new development and may only be assessed for new capital cost related to the development. A defined nexus or benefit/beneficiary relationship must be established.The fees are paid by the developer to offset costs for the infrastructure caused by new development.The fees are not limited to the cost of land and can be assessed for improvements. Some cities have used this fee mechanism to assess a capital equipment fee to acquire the equipment needed to maintain the new parks.The fees are often used in combination with development agreements. The advantages of impact fees, sometimes called mitigation fees, are that they can be assessed for non-subdivision land uses. Fees can be assessed under the premise that tourists, employers, and employees all benefit from and use community parks.This allows for assessment of commercial and industrial development. Once the nexus is established that proves the need for additional facilities because of new development,a fee program can be implemented. The fee cannot be assessed to subsidize existing shortfalls or benefit existing residents. Huntington Beach has fees established for residential and non-residential. For fiscal year 2012/13 the City of Huntington Beach collected $712,858 in residential fees and $59,580 in non-residential fees. Development Agreements: A Development Agreement is a negotiated contract between a local agency and a land developer.The developer is given the vested right to subdivide and develop in exchange for negotiated exactions. These exactions may include public utilities and public park and recreation facilities.These are voluntary agreements and the agency can negotiate public facility improvements beyond those required by state or local mandates.The improvements required may benefit those outside the development area,thus avoiding the "nexus" requirement of impact fees. Tool 10: Funding(2016) 247 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Other Taxes Sales Taxes: The cornerstone of the state-local revenue system in virtually every region of the country, the sales tax is the second largest source of income for state and local governments and typically the most popular tax among voters. Sales taxes are either general or specific in form.General sales taxes are levied on the sale of goods or services at the retail level.Specific or selective sales taxes are imposed on specific items such as alcohol,tobacco and gasoline and sometimes earmarked for specific projects. As an example the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District is funded through 1/4 cent sales tax. Transit Occupancy Tax(TOT): often called bed taxes can be assessed on hotel rooms, campgrounds and other lodging facilities.The taxing authority is the local government agency. This use tax impacts tourists and not local residents, so it is easier to implement. Since many park facilities serve tourists in addition to residents, these funds can be used for both park development and maintenance. Lake County and Sonoma County Parks receive funding for improvements and maintenance of parks from TOT in those counties. Real Estate Transfer Tax: A real estate transfer tax is a tax levied on the sale of certain classes of property: residential, commercial or industrial that increases with the size of the property being sold. Sometimes sellers(who have typically seen the value of their homes rise over the years)foot the bill. Other times the cost is imposed on buyers, who, it is argued, are making an investment in the future of a community. At the local level, the real estate transfer tax can create substantial funds for park and open space acquisition, particularly in fast-growing communities.This type of tax requires voter approval. Winning approval in the face of special interest opposition has proven to be an obstacle for some communities. The City of San Jose has a Construction and Conveyance Tax of this type. Natural Heritage and Preservation Tax Credit Act of 2000: Through this program $100 million in tax credits are available to landowners interested in donating in fee or easement qualified lands and water. The intent is to protect and conserve open space, agricultural lands, wildlife habitat, state and local parks.The state tax credits are available to landowners interested in donating qualified lands to state resource departments, local government entities and qualified non-profit organizations for conservation purposes. Tool 10: Funding(2016) 248 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update State and Federal Grants Numerous state and federal governmental agencies provide grant opportunities for local park and recreation agencies. Many grant programs are dependent on the passage of bond measures and state or federal legislative action.The availability of funds can vary from year to year. Many require matching funds from the local agency.The programs have specific project criteria that applicants must meet. Although there are some grants available for operations and recreation/educational programs, most of the state and federal programs focus on the acquisition, development and improvement of parks,trails, recreation facilities and the protection of natural resources. Some agencies such as the Department of Education, Department of Health Services,and Environmental Protection Administration provide funding for educational programs. In the future, the City can increase its potential for grants by collaborating with other public agencies and local school districts.The agency may not always need to be the lead agency applying for the grant. In some cases it may be the facilitator or partner in seeking funds with other agencies or non-profit organizations. Land and Water Conservation Act: Created by Congress in 1965,the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) was a bipartisan commitment to safeguard natural areas,water resources and our cultural heritage, and to provide recreation opportunities. The LWCF state assistance program provides matching grants to help states and local communities protect parks and recreation resources. Running the gamut from wilderness to trails and neighborhood playgrounds, LWCF funding has benefited nearly every county in America, supporting over 41,000 projects.This 50:50 matching program is the primary federal investment tool to ensure that families have easy access to parks and open space, hiking and riding trails, and neighborhood recreation facilities. LWCF's current authorization is set to expire in September of this year. An amendment to permanently reauthorize the Land and Water Conservation Fund was nearly adopted by the United States Senate on a bipartisan vote of 59-39.The bipartisan vote held in February 2015 just missed the 60-vote threshold for passage. President Obama's Fiscal Year 2016 budget recommendations, include a commitment to full and dedicated funding of the LWCF. Federal Transportation Enhancement Funds SAFETEA-LU: On August 10, 2005, President Bush signed into law the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act:A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU).This law established extensive new resources and opportunities to advance highway safety throughout the country. MAP-21,the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act(P.L. 112-141): Signed into law by President Obama on July 6, 2012 and extended by Congress until May 2015. The program provides funding for surface transportation programs. Other dedicated funding for transportation related projects within Map-21 include the Recreational Trails Program (RTP)which provides funds to the States to develop and maintain recreational trails and trail-related facilities for both non-motorized and motorized recreational trail uses including hiking, bicycling, in-line skating, equestrian use, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, off-road motorcycling, all-terrain vehicle riding, four-wheel driving, or using other off-road motorized vehicles. MAP-21 is next due to expire at the end of May. Prevention and Public Health Grants: These are grant programs are administered through the Centers for Disease Control, to support state and community level programs that prevent and control obesity and other chronic diseases. Tool 10: Funding(2016) 249 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Child Nutrition Reauthorization: This legislation is up for renewal this year and authorizes funding for the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) and Child and Adult Care Food Programs (CACFP).These programs are managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and provide the reimbursement dollars for after school and summer meal programs at park and recreation agencies. Park and recreation agencies are the largest public provider of healthy meals and snacks to children outside of schools. Older Americans Act Reauthorization Act(S.1562): Legislation which would reauthorize the Older Americans Act of 1965. It addresses the health, welfare and economic needs of older individuals by promoting senior center modernizations and evidence based chronic disease management and falls prevention. State agencies historically have managed the legislative funding and voter-approved propositions that provide funds for park and recreation agencies. In addition, federal funds are often funneled through state agencies that manage the grant programs. For example,the federal Land and Water Conservation (LWCF)grants and federal transportation enhancement funds SAFETEA-LU are managed by the California State Department of Parks and Recreation. Some of the key state departments that manage grants that benefit local parks and recreation include the following: • California Resources Agency o California River Parkways o Urban Greening/Sustainable Communities o Environmental Enhancement Mitigation Fund (EEMP) • Department of Conservation • Department of Fish and Game • Wildlife Conservation Board • Department of Boating and Waterways • Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention • Department of Parks and Recreation o Habitat Conservation Fund o Land and Water Conservation Fund o Recreation Trails Fund o Park Bond Funding when available • Department of Water Resources o Flood Protection Corridor Program o Urban Stream Restoration o Proposition 1E Floodway Corridor Program • California Conservation Corps • State Coastal Conservancy o California Coastal Commission Whale's Tail Program • Department of Transportation (CALTRANS) • California State Library-California Cultural Heritage Endowment • California Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) • Integrated Waste Management • Department of Agriculture Tool 10:FundUtg(2016) 250 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update • Department of Education • Department of Health Services • California Arts Council • Office of Criminal Justice Planning • Office of Historic Preservation • CA Department of Aging • Housing and Community Development • University of California. There are some federal agencies that directly manage grant programs that provide funding that can benefit local parks and recreation including the following: • Department of Agriculture • National Endowment for the Art • Environmental Protection Agency • Institute of Museum and Library Services • Department of Energy • Department of Education • NOAA Coastal Zone Estuaries • North America Wetlands Conservation Act • Health and Human Service Department • Center for Disease Control (CDC) • Housing and Urban Development • CDBG Grants through Local Agencies Grant programs handled by federal agencies include: National Park Service Rivers,Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program: This program helps community groups, not-for-profits, state, and local governments, and tribes plan and establish trails and parks, conserve and improve access to rivers and natural areas, and create outdoor recreation opportunities. Applications are general due annually by August 15Y.Visit www.nps.gov/rtca for more information. California Department of Housing and Community Development(HCD): HCD's Housing-Related Parks Program uses voter-approved funds from the Housing and Emergency Shelter Trust Fund Act of 2006 to expand and improve the availability of parks and recreation facilities within communities.The largest share of the funding, 71 percent is allocated to communities that are both disadvantaged and park- deficient. The grant awards help to build needed parks and/or repair existing parks and recreation facilities within a community. HCD expanded its awareness campaign for the Housing-Related Parks Program, and as a result, many more California cities and counties are applying and taking advantage of this useful grant program. -See more at: http://www.cacities.org/Top/News/News-Articles/2014/July/$73-6-Million-Awarded-to- Over-100-Cities-and-Count#sthash.Z9amHtfq.dpuf Tool 10: Funding(2016) 251 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Foundation Grants There are many foundations throughout the nation that offer funding opportunities that could benefit park and recreation agencies. Funding is often available for programs unlike state grants that focus on park improvement and facilities.The foundations often focus on programs with current interests in environmental education, arts, health and wellness. Some well-known California foundations that have provided grant funding to public park and recreation agencies include:The Packard Foundation, Kaiser Foundation, Irvine Foundation,The California Endowment,and the Wellness Foundation. Community Foundations also support local programs. Many foundations will give directly to a public agency; others will give only to non-profit 501(c) 3 organizations. An agency could also collaborate with other public agencies and non-profit organizations in pursuit of grants that identify local partnership as grant criteria. A recent specific program is: American Water Charitable Foundation (AWCF): Partnering with National Recreation and Park Administration AWCT has instituted a three year program,the Building Better Communities program designed to create and enhance nature-based playgrounds and natural play spaces for children,while also providing educational messaging and demonstration areas about water stewardship and conservation. Building Better Communities projects are supported with funding from AWCF and implemented through annual grants administered by NRPA. The application period for 2014 Building Better Communities grants is currently closed. The application period for 2015 Building Better Communities grants has not been announced. The Partnerships to Improve Community Health (PICH)funding opportunity announcement supports implementation of evidenced-and practice-based strategies that address previously-identified community gaps and needs within a defined jurisdiction to reduce the prevalence of chronic disease and related risk factors. In order to reduce heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and obesity, population-based strategies should have both broad reach and moderate to large effects on the following chronic disease risk factors:tobacco use and exposure, poor nutrition, physical inactivity, and lack of access to chronic disease prevention, risk reduction and management opportunities. Applicants are required to target special efforts toward priority populations at disproportionate risk for chronic diseases or conditions. PICH will provide funding to a variety of governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations, including school districts, local housing authorities, local Transportation Authorities, local public health offices and American Indian tribes and Alaskan Native villages to work through multi-sectoral community coalitions that represent one of 3 designated geographic areas: • Large Cities and Urban Counties(with populations of 500,000 or more), • Small Cities and Counties, including those in rural areas(with populations between 50,000- 499,999), • American Indian tribes and Alaskan Native villages and tribal organizations. $73.6 Million will be awarded to more than 100 cities and counties for local park and recreation upgrades. Tool 10: Funding (2016) 252 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Revenue from Operations User Fees: Fees for use of park and recreation facilities and programs are common throughout the nation. User fees include: picnic area reservations, facility rentals, and parking and entry fees. Fees for events and programs offered by park agencies are often used. If the program has value the public will pay. Many public agencies charge non-resident fees for users outside their jurisdiction. Property Leases: Because park agencies have extensive land holdings the potential to lease land for special uses that are compatible with park and recreation use can generate additional revenue.Grazing leases, radio and cell phone tower lease agreements have become prevalent throughout California. Sponsored Facilities Programs and Events (Naming Rights): It is common for public agencies to secure businesses and organizations to sponsor events. There is an opportunity to expand the current sponsorship activities for park improvements and amenities.There is a growing recognition by corporations, associations, and others in the private sector that parkland and recreation programs have positive public values worth associating with. Further there is a growing justified need on the part of park agencies to ask for financial payments in return for those associations.This is leading to a wide array of sponsored programs ranging from one-time large group activities such as runs,4'of July events, or concerts,to advertising promotions that utilize a park as a backdrop,to the use of logos or brand names in return for donations of money,goods or services. Raising corporate and philanthropic money to construct, improve or rehabilitate physical structures in parks is often relatively easy. Direct contributions to acquire naming or licensing rights from the District to advertise their name/product should be given careful consideration, in light of the development of new and remodeled public facilities.This practice has several different levels and can include the naming of buildings, advertising on public property or license rights to the agency's name and other intellectual property.Typically the agency and corporation negotiate terms for the granting of the rights.This can be an effective tool particularly for highly visible facilities or events. Private Giving Non Profit Foundation: Many individuals, private foundations, and corporations are happy to contribute to park agencies and programs solely to improve the community in which they live or operate. Donations can be made for capital projects as well as programs.This method of funding is greatly enhanced when a 501(c) 3 organization is in place to support the effort of the public park agency.This would provide a vehicle for a capital fund drive and a means to build community support.There should be well defined facilities and specific costs to be funded. The foundation acts as a conduit for receiving private donations from entities which might otherwise be reluctant to donate to a public entity. In addition,the donor can receive tax benefits. Another option is to set up a Donor Advised-Restricted Fund with a local Community Foundation. Either option provides an organization that can partner with other non-profits(such as churches, service clubs and organizations) as well as private companies to jointly develop park and recreation facilities. Through a planned giving program,the potential to receive bequests and endowments for parks and recreation will grow in the next 15 years where there will be a nationwide, intergenerational transfer of wealth estimated at$16 trillion. Tool 10: Funding(2016) 253 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Voluntary Utility Donations: Several municipalities have partnered with Utilities Districts allowing customers to make a donation for parks/and or recreation programs as part of their monthly bill. Scottsdale Cares in Scottsdale,AZ has raised $1 million one dollar at a time added to utility bills to fund local youth programs. Adopt-a-Park Programs: This type of program could generate funds from corporate of individual donations or volunteers to provide maintenance for parks or facilities. Fund-Raising Events: While these are not a major source of funds, special events could contribute to an overall effort toward capital funding for a specific facility. Funds raised from such events could be channeled through the non-profit foundation described above. Planned Giving/Capital Campaigns Many individuals, private foundations, and corporations contribute to local non-profits solely to improve the community in which they live or operate. Donations can be made for capital projects as well as programs. This method of funding is greatly enhanced when a 501(c) 3 organization, such as a Parks Foundation is in place to support and operate the program providing a vehicle for a capital fund drive and a means to build community support. To enhance the program there should be well defined facilities and specific costs to be funded. The non-profit would act as a conduit for receiving private donations from individuals and/or entities which might otherwise be reluctant to donate to a public entity. In addition,the donor can receive tax benefits. Another option is to set up a Donor Advised- Restricted Fund through the non-profit. Planned giving program, the potential to receive bequests and endowments, is expected to grow in the next 15 years where there will be a nationwide, intergenerational transfer of wealth estimated at$16 trillion. Specific examples are explained below. Bequest: Donors include a provision in their will directing that a gift be paid to an organization after their death or the death of one of their survivors. Donors can give the organization either a specific amount of money or item of property (a "specific" bequest), or a percentage of the balance remaining in their estate after taxes, expenses, and specific bequests have been paid (a "residual" bequest). Also, donors can state how to use their bequest for a particular program or activity at an organization, or allow its use to be discretionary("restricted" and "unrestricted" bequests). Charitable Gift Annuity: Donors make a gift to an organization and in return,the organization agrees to make fixed payments to the donor for life. Payments may be made to a maximum of two beneficiaries. At the death of the last beneficiary,the remaining balance of the annuity is used by the organization for the purpose that the donor specified when the gift was made. Gift annuities operate under a simple contract between an organization and the donor.They are not trusts, but rather income obligations backed by the organization's assets. Payments from a gift annuity can be arranged to commence at a future date (a "deferred"gift annuity). Deferring the start of payments gives donors a higher income rate and a larger charitable deduction than they could secure from annuities whose payments start immediately. Tool 10:Funding(2016) 254 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Charitable Remainder Unitrust: This trust pays income to the donor and/or other beneficiaries for life or a term of years, and then pays the remaining balance to charity. Income is paid as a fixed percentage of the unitrust's value—which is revalued annually. Income and appreciation in excess of the required payments to the beneficiaries are held in the unitrust to allow growth. Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust: This trust pays the donor and/or other beneficiaries a fixed-dollar amount of income for life or a term of years, and then pays the remaining balance to charity. Unlike income from a unitrust, payments from an annuity trust do not fluctuate during the term of the trust. Charitable Lead Trust: This trust pays income to an organization for a term of years or for the lifetime of the donor. When the lead trust terminates,the remaining balance is returned to the donor or to the donor's heirs. Donors who arrange their lead trusts to return the assets to themselves may claim a charitable income tax deduction when they make their gift, for the present value of the anticipated payments to charity.They are liable for income tax on the lead trust's annual earnings. Life Insurance: The death benefit of a life insurance policy can be paid to an organization as a charitable gift. Donors have several options in giving life insurance: • Contribute a fully paid-up policy • Contribute a policy on which some premiums remain to be paid (In both of these cases,the donor can claim a charitable deduction for the value of the donated policy, and the organization can "cash in"the policy in advance of the donor's death) • Donors can (revocably) name an organization as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy that they continue to own and maintain • They can name an organization the owner and beneficiary of a new life insurance policy, and make ongoing gifts that offset the premiums you will pay to maintain the policy. Retirement Plans: Donors can name an organization the successor beneficiary of all or a portion of their IRA,401(k), or other retirement accounts. The designation is revocable and does not generate a charitable income tax deduction. tt ► fJt a. y City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Collaborative Financing Public Agency Joint Development/Use Agreements: Public agencies can enter joint development/use agreements with other local agencies, most often a school district, special district, city or county for development or use of land and facilities. Both agencies may participate in the funding of the improvement, for guaranteed use of the facilities.The agencies negotiate terms of the agreements.The land usually remains in the ownership of one agency. Generally one agency will assume responsibility for maintenance of the facilities. Public/Private Partnership Ventures: This type of venture takes advantage of the potential revenue generating facilities such as golf courses, pistol ranges, multi-sports complex, restaurant and snack facilities. Projects can be jointly funded using public and private financing. Another method is the public agency provides that land and outsources the development and operation to a private company that will build and operate turn-key facilities through lease or concession agreements. Private capital is used for the improvements to the public park and in turn the developer makes a profit from the fee based recreation activity.This concept works well for large regional parks that can accommodate the specialized uses. Public/Non Profit Partnerships: Joint ventures with local non-profit organizations can be an effective approach for some recreation facilities.These might be youth serving organizations or special interest groups such as bicycling clubs, dog owners and other community organizations that need facilities. By joining forces,fundraising ability can be enhanced and joint development of community recreational facilities in public parks can be accomplished. With their strong volunteer support these organizations often provide in-kind labor to improve park facilities for their use. Non-profit conservation organizations: Organizations such as Land Trusts, Friends of the River, Sierra Club, and others can be instrumental in working with public agencies to acquire and preserve open space, sensitive habitats, or natural areas. Affinity Cards: Affinity Cards are partnerships between non-profit or public agencies and credit card companies. Revenue to the agency is generated on a per-transaction basis or percentage of card purchases. A minimum of 10,000 names and addresses must be on the list to qualify for an affinity card program. Volunteerism: Californians have shown a high willingness to contribute to their communities by volunteering. Volunteer labor and donations of money, services or material are potentially attractive resources for agencies that cannot afford to pay additional staff or make purchases beyond the budget for expenditures.As baby boomers age and retire there will be a growing pool of talented volunteers. Examples of volunteer projects include tree-plantings, mentoring,youth-group park improvement projects, or adopt-a-park, and adopt-a-park-component donations. Park and recreation agencies can consider seeking out scout groups for specific Eagle Scout or Gold Award projects such as picnic table slabs, painting projects,trails, murals,gardens or gazebos. Agencies can also seek out Sheriffs work crews or court-mandated community service crews for projects like litter removal, creek clean up,or trail maintenance. Tool 10: Funding (2016) 256 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update Service Organizations: Most communities have service clubs, (Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions,Soroptimists) a Chamber of Commerce and business associations,faith-based and neighborhood associations who can contribute to the betterment of park and recreation programs in their area. Many of these groups do support community programs.To sustain the interest and support of these groups it helps if agency staff members actively participate as members of the organization or serve on the boards of directors. Another way to form this connection is to invite those organizations to serve on the park and recreation agency's committees and advisory boards. State Bond California Proposition 1,the Water Bond (Assembly Bill 1471): Was on the November 4, 2014, ballot in California as a legislatively-referred bond act. The measure, approved by 67%of the voters,will enact the Water Quality,Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014 and authorize$7.12 billion in general obligation bonds for state water supply infrastructure projects, such as public water system improvements, surface and groundwater storage, drinking water protection, water recycling and advanced water treatment technology,water supply management and conveyance, wastewater treatment, drought relief,emergency water supplies, and ecosystem and watershed protection and restoration. Specific spending proposals in the proposition include: • $520 million to improve water quality for"beneficial use,"for reducing and preventing drinking water contaminants, disadvantaged communities, and the State Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund Small Community Grant Fund. • $1.495 billion for competitive grants for multi-benefit ecosystem and watershed protection and restoration projects. • $810 million for expenditures on, and competitive grants and loans to, integrated regional water management plan projects. • $2.7 billion for water storage projects, dams and reservoirs. • $725 million for water recycling and advanced water treatment technology projects. • $900 million for competitive grants, and loans for, projects to prevent or clean up the contamination of groundwater that serves as a source of drinking water. • $395 million for statewide flood management projects and activities. The water bond was moved twice. Originally certified to be on the state's 2010 ballot, it was removed and placed on the 2012 ballot. On July 5, 2012,the state legislature approved a bill to take the measure off the 2012 ballot and put it on the 2014 ballot where it received voter approval. t I iO;}Ft ndir g: rc.�i) __ 257 City of Huntington Beach I Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update FIVE YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS •ROJECT FY 25/26 FY 26/27 FY 27/28 FY 28/29 FY 29/30 6+ YEARS (EST) • RKS FACILITIES AND BEACHES Carr Park Improvements $2,000,000 $2,000,000 $3,500,000 Edison Park Reconfiguration $3,000,000 $3,000,000 $3,000,000 Park Restrooms $600,000 $650,000 Hawes Park- Volleyball $170,000 Court Marina Park Reconfiguration $12,600,000 Playgrounds - Continuing $600,000 $600,000 $600,000 $600,000 $600,000 $600,000 Citywide Improvements Sports Complex LED Light $590,000 $540,000 $315,000 Retrofit Trail Improvements - Walking $500,000 Trail Improvements - Biking $500,000 Youth Soccer Fields $1,000,000 Tennis/Pickleball Courts $500,000 $500,000 Aquatics &Splash Pad $1,500,000 Facilities New Skate Facilities $750,000 Total $4,190,000 $4,740,000 $4,415,000 $2,770,000 $3,250,000 $21,450,000 Tool 10: Funding 258 . , Ji P' .....4. . . . , ,-; ,' •., , - ;. g , - 1 T ....:Main ' ..'.,41 .. 7 ,.., A •".,. , I ', , ,.., a ,,.• •. -...., .

(Much of what follows,with a few updates,was presented to the Community&Library Services Commission,at their meeting to consider the"City of Huntington Beach 2025 Parks and Recreation Master Plan",on Aug.13,2025) My name is John Redaelli,and I've enjoyed living in our great city of Huntington Beach for well over 20 years.In fact 1 graduated from Edison High School in 1971...1 am here to respectfully request two things for consideration as it relates to the potential possibility of(4)more Bocce Ball courts at Edison Park,and the restoration of the existing(4)Synthetic Resin Bocce Ball courts at Murdy Park.. First,I respect and understand that the Community a Library Services Commission has already passed approval for the amenities at Edison Park,that DO NOT include Bocce Ball court...My comments here are to lay the groundwork fora possible last minute appeal to the HS City Council,to please consider Tour(4)Synthetic Resin Bocce Ball courts in the new perk design.Edison Park is located on the opposite end of the city far from Murdy Park—a full 6-7 miles away—and would serve a large portion of our community,particularly seniors and recreational players,who currently have no convenient access to a quality bocce facility.Four courts are essential,not just for casual play,but also for properly running standard 16-team double-elimination tournaments.Two courts simply can't meet that demand.In case you did not know,this is not a new idea.In fact,the City's own 2009 Master Plan for Edison Park included Bocce Ball courts as a planned amenity.Unfortunately,those plans were never realoed.And,the fact,I've seen increasing enrollment numbers for each new season I teach Bocce Ball,vie the"SANDS"recrea5Cnal programming, speaks to the continuing growing demand,here and now.(UPDATE.For the first time,Bocce class enrollments for the just completed FALL SEASON 2025 were lower at(15),as compared to the(35)enrollments I had for the busier SUMMER SEASON this year 2025).But,much higher than the only(2)enrollments I had with little advertising,for my very first season of teaching,FALL 2024) Second,please ensure that our existing tour Synthetic Resin courts at Murdy Park are properly restored.At present I have been repairing and maintaining those courts at my own time and expense—a way of giving back and saying Thank You to my great city.But long-term,these courts are in great need of RESTORATION by a reliable,expenenced,contractor.Not by one who's only worth is a Low Cost BID,but by an EXPERIENCED one,who has PROVEN his court surface is of QUALITY,DURABILITY,and repels damage by rain and sun So that these courts can be a welcoming amenity in the years to come... And,in that vein I was pleased to hear from Kristin Martinez,when we met recently(July 28,2025)at Murdy Park.that she will put in a request for money in next years budget(2028)to restore the courts Thank You So Much, Kristin' (UPDATE):I took these(2)photos this past Saturday,Nov.15,2025,after the recent rains The first photo showing more water/rain damage on Court#4,as a result of rainwater settling below the surface and between the concrete slab it lays over..The following photo indicating how much rainwater puddles on the court...And,not because the rainwater cannot access the drains that were built into the surrounding concrete curbs... ror "t''.,'. 14:1144.: •''.'4, '''..-. • r - '• 'Og r..

At that same meeting with Kristin,I shared with her,and gave her copy of my 100-page REPORT titled.'Review,questions,and Path Forward:Boca Ball Courts at Murdy Park,Huntington Basch,CA'—in my REPORT I provided the seemngly avoidable missteps in the original construction process.These issues I believe have contributed to the premature deterioration of both the playing surface and the sideboards Again,before any new build or restoration.the contractor's proven history of delivering durable,high-quality bocce courts must be verified This will ensure our investment provides lasting value and avoids repeating past problems. Thank you for your erne,and for your dedication to keeping Huntington Beach's parks vibrant,inciusive,and well-maintained for the entire community.

Mile four synthetic courts do currently exist at Murdy Park they primarily serve residents in the eastem part of the city Edison Park is centrally located and accessible to neighborhoods that currently lack dose access to bocce facilities—particularly important for older adults and individuals with limited nobility. Bocce is one of the fastest-growing recreational activities for seniors and families alike.It is low-impact.ADA-friendly,and promotes healthy,social,and intergenerabonal activity.But to fully serve this growing demand—and to unlock the potential for organized play and tournaments---four courts are not just preferable,they're essential. Here's why: Wth only two courts,organized events are limited in scale and speed. A typical 16-teem double elimination tournament is extremely difficult to complete on two courts within a single day or weekend. Four courts allow for efficient tournament brackets,expanded league play,and broader community participation. Bocce courts are space-efficient,cost-effective to maintain,and well-suited for flexible use adjacent to other park features I strongly urge the Council to revisit this long-standing idea and include four bocce ball courts in the final layout of Edison Park Doing so would honor the City's onginal vision,serve an underserved segment of our community,and leave a lasting recreational legacy for generations to come.

As you may know,the Bocce Ball courts at Murray Park area popular destination for casual players,especially during the warmer months.However,the direct sun exposure can make it uncomfortable for players and can also lead to the courts deteriorating more quickly due to the heat and UV damage.Installing solar panels above the courts would not only provide shade,enhancing the comfort and experience of players,but it would also help protect the courts from con damage,thereby extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance costs for the city In addition to these practical benefits,the solar panels could generate clean,renewable energy,contributing to Huntington Beach's commitment to sustainability.The revenue generated from the electricity produced could be reinvested into the park or other community projects,further benefiting our city and its residents. I believe this proposal aligns with the city's goals of improving recreational facilities,embracing sustainable practices,and finding innovative ways to generate additional revenue.I respectfully urge the City Council to consider this idea and explore its feasibility.

(Much of what follows,with a few updates,was presented to the Community 8 Ubrary Services Commission,at their meeting to consider the"City of Huntington Beach 2025 Parks and Recreation Master Plan",an Aug.13,2025) My name is John Redaelli,end I've enjoyed living in our great city of Huntington Beach for well over 20 years.In fact I graduated from Edson High School in 1974...1 am hereto respectfully request two things for consideration as it relates to the potential possibility of(4)more Bocce Bell courts at Edison Park end the restoration of the existing(4)Synthetic Resin Bocce Ball courts at Murdy Perk... First,I respect and understand mat the Community 8 Library Services Commission has already passed approval for the amenities at Edison Park that DO NOT include Bocce Ball courts...My comments here are to lay the groundwork fora possible last minute appeal to the HB City Council,to please consider four(4)Synthetic Resin Bocce Ball courts in the new park design.Edison Park is located on the opposite end of the city far from Murdy Park—a full 6-7 miles away—and would serve a large portion of our community,perscularly seniors and recreational players,who momently have no convenient access to a quSrty bocce facility.Four courts are essentel,not just for casual play,but also for properly running standard 16-team dou8eoimination tournaments.Two courts simply can't meet that demand.In case you did not know,this is not a new idea.In fact,the City's own 2009 Master Plan for Edison Park included Bocce Ball courts as a planned amenity.Unfortunately,those plans were never reslzed.And,the fact,I've seen Increasing enrollment numbers for each new season I teach Bocce Ball,via the'SANDS-recreational programming. speaks to the continuing growing derrand,here and now.(UPDATE:For the first time,Bocce class enrollments for the just completed FALL SEASON 2025 were lower at(15),as compared to the(35)enrollments I had for the busier SUMMER SEASON this year 2025).But,much higher than the only(2)enrollments I had with little adverssng,for my very first season of teaching,FALL 2024.) Second,please ensure that our existing four Synthetic Resin courts at Murdy Park are properly restored.At present,I have been repairing and maintaining Mose courts at my wen time end expense—a way of giving back and saying Thank You to my great oily But long-term,these courts are in great need of RESTORATION by a reliable,experienced,contractor.Not by one who's only worth is a Low Cost BID,but by an EXPERIENCED one,who has PROVEN his court surface is of QUALITY,DURABILITY,and repels damage by rein and sun.So that these courts can be a welcoming amenity in the years to come... And,in that vein I was pleased to hear from Knstin Martinez,when we met recently(Jul 28,2025)at Murdy Park,that she will put in a request for money in next year's budget(2026)to restore Me courts...Thank You So Much, Krtshn! (UPDATE)'I took these(2)photos this past Saturday.Nov.15,2025.after the recent tans...The first photo showing more water/rain damage on Court#4,as a result of rainwater settling below the surface and between the concrete slab it lays over...The following photo indicating how much rainwater puddles on the court...And,not because the rainwater cannot access the drains that were built into the surrounding concrete curbs... s • • f v • .,e;ftgt; , - v. . - • 1t - ` a". ♦ At that same meeting with Kitson,I shared with her,and gave her copy of my 100-page REPORT titled,Review,Questions,end Path Forward:Bocce Bap Courts of Murdy Para,Huntington Beach,CA--in my REPORT I provided the seemingly avoidable missteps in the onginal construction process.These Issues I believe have contributed to the premature detenorabon of both the playing surface and the sideboards. Again,before any new build or restoration,the contractor's proven history of delivenng durable,high-quality bocce courts must be verified.This will ensure our investment provides lasting value and avoids repeating past problems. Thank you for your time,and for your dedication to keeping Huntington Beach's parks vibrant,inclusive,and well-maintained for the entre community.
