SUBJECT:
City Council Tour and Joint Meeting with the Parks and Recreation
Commission, Saturday, June 5, 1993
As a result of the Park and Recreation Commission meeting held on May 20, 1993, there
has been a slight change in the Park sites to be visited. It was the Commission's opinion
that the Otay Valiey Regional Park area should not be visited because there has not been
a specific parksite identified for review. In addition, the Commission wanted to address
the following issues at the joint workshop:
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
o Responding to the needs of junior and senior high school youth in the City.
o Expansion of programming for youth in geographically balanced areas such as
Otay, the eastern Chula Vista area, Hilltop area, Castle Park and central Chula
Vista.
o Development of nontraditional youth development programs for at risk youth.
o Support ongoing partnerships and collaborative programming with various
community-based organizations.
o Views on the Department as lead youth agency in the City.
o Help in opening new school sites for joint use.
CUl ruRAL DIVERSITY
o Recruit and compensate part-time staff which posses bilingual skills.
o Development of more programs and informational materials that respond to the
rich cultural diversity of the community.
o Development of senior programs that respond to the changing ethnlcities in the
City.
REVENUE GENERATION
o Continue to assess the feasibility of undertaking a revenue generation plan.
o The establishment of a foundation, non-profit organization entitled the Friends of
the Parks.
PARK MAINTENANCE
o Maintenance and Operating Funds to properly maintain youth league ballfields Le.,
bleachers, fencing, irrigation systems, turf. Funds need to be budgeted on an
annual basis to address shortcomings.
o Water budget reductions. Assessment of existing parks that have very little utilitary
value.
o Athletic fields are inadequate to meet existing needs in the community, and
therefore, are overused and rapidly deteriorating. Do we build additional facilities
or limit and control usage?
o Parks user fee for large parks such as Rohr and Eucalyptus, that are used heavily
by non-residents. Possible solution is to charge a fee for parking.
o Ongoing vandalism to lighted sport facilities Le., tennis courts and basketball
courts. Is the City better off providing free lights, or continuing to fix and rebuild
vandalized coin-meter mechanisms?
ADDITIONAL SIGNIFICANT PARK AND RECREATION ISSUES
o Development of Parks and Recreation facilities in underserved areas.
o Decentralize senior citizen programs in the City, ie., additional programs in eastern
areas of the City.
o The Department as a community services agency as opposed to only Parks and
Recreation.
