SUMMARY
Consistent with Council direction and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding
objectives, City staff has been working for the last year to re-open the Lauderbach Park
Community Center for public programming. A total of $182,000 in improvements funded by
CDBG were made to the facility and adjacent park to increase security and bring the building in
compliance with current codes and regulations. The programmed improvements are now
complete and the facility is ready to begin scheduling community activities. In an effort to
coordinate the scheduling of public programs, staff is recommending the City enter into a
partnership with Celebrations Talavera for facility oversight and marketing. This will allow the
City to provide additional community services.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a
"Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it consists of
an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the
environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the
activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the resolution.

DISCUSSION
During this past year, City staff has been working on facility and park improvements along with
a private-public partnership to restore community services at the Lauderbach Park Community
Center. The City Council approved $182,000 in facility and adjacent park improvements which
were recently completed enabling the City to begin scheduling additional community activities.
Currently, the facility and park provides meeting space for City programs, youth soccer,
community events and commissions. Some of the activities include: Community outreach/
meetings for assessment district formations with the local community, meeting space for the
Oxford Senior Group and local Chula Vista Community Collaborative, as well as the Parks and
Recreation Commission. Most recently, the facility was used for the Paint the Traffic Boxes
program and the Collaborative Holiday Drive. Additional community programming is planned
through the use of outside instructors and vendors. In an effort to increase community
programming and access to the facility, staff is recommending the City enter into a sole source
License Agreement with Celebrations Talavera (Licensee). The licensee would use a portion of
the facility for purposes of marketing use of the Center for banquets, weddings, receptions and
Quinceaneras and provide oversight for planned community facility activities.
This is consistent with the direction provided by the City Council in November of 2011 to
increase community use of the Lauderbach facility at minimal cost to the General Fund. The
proposed license agreement enables the City to further build upon the private-public partnership
with Celebrations Talavera and market the facility for additional community programming while
continuing to fulfill a community need for banquet facilities in the Southwest.
This program has been very successful and received many community accolades resulting in
additional referrals for events at the facility. Several articles have also been published in local
Quinceanera magazines and publications. A total of fourteen large private events and three
marketing functions were held this past year generating $14,500 in revenue to the City to help
maintain the facility. An additional nine events are already programmed in the first five months
of 2012.
The license agreement provides Talavera Celebrations with a small office to showcase the
facility and themes and decors used in events, as well as view the Community Center. In
exchange for on-site space, the licensee will provide oversight and marketing services for
community programming and activities. Currently, there are no available recreation resources to
staff the Lauderbach Center. The partnership is a win-win for the City, community, and the
vendor enabling us to increase public programming at minimal cost. The on-site presence also
helps the City secure access to and from the Community Center as well as maintains the
cleanliness of the facility and restrooms.
Staff is recommending the City enter into a sole source agreement with Celebrations Talavera
providing office space at the Lauderbach Community Center in exchange for staffing and
maintenance of the facility which will help the City provide additional community services. This
vendor was selected as the sole source due to their unique familiarity with the facility, their
5-2

Page 3 of 3
demonstrated ability to successfully hold these events, and their commitment to the City's vision
of a joint public-private partnership.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property that is the subject of this action.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The License Agreement is for a period of one-year and provides the facility oversight staffing
and maintenance at the facility at no cost to the City.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Talavera Celebrations has agreed to provide the oversight services for a period of one-year. The
goal is to generate enough activity to have public programming. and facility maintenance paid
from the use of the facility and minimize the impact to the General Fund. Staff will evaluate the
resource requirements when the agreement expires and if necessary address in the FY 2013-14
budget cycle.
