COMMISSION BUSINESS
1. Boys and Girls Club Lease Aqreement
RECOMMENDATION:
1.1
That the Community Services Commission approve the Boys and
Girls Club Ground Lease Agreement in its substantial form.
R: CSC/rninutes101303 3
Community Services Director Parker presented the staff report of record and
advised the Commission that with their approval, the ground lease agreement
would be forwarded to the City Council for approval.
In response to Commissioner Henz's query regarding Exhibit B, the 1.5-acre
parking addition, Community Services Director Parker clarified that the area will
be acquired from the Wolf Creek subdivision in order to expand Kent
Hintergardt Memorial Park.
Responding to Commissioner Henz's inquiry, Community Services Director
Parker advised that .25 of an acre is the subject of the lease.
Community Services Director Parker further clarified that the increased parking
was an item that was negotiated as part of the development agreement with
Wolf Creek Master Planned Community. The additional parking was necessary
for the park regardless of the location of the Boys and Girls Club; however,
given the fact that the Club will be at the park, it will help them to meet the
parking requirements at that facility.
Commissioner Hogan advised that she is on the fund-raising committee for the
Boys and Girls Club and is of the opinion that it is a very worthwhile
organization. The Club provides an excellent service to the community by
providing a wonderful atmosphere for the community's children.
MOTION: Commissioner Hogan made a motion to approve the Boys and Girls
Club Ground Lease Agreement in its substantial form. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Henz and voice vote reflected approval with the
exception of Commissioner Meyler who was absent.
2. Harveston Public Art
RECOMMENDATION:
2.1
That the Community Services Commission approve the
Harveston Public Art Program.
At the request of Community Services Director Parker, Development Services
Administrator McCarthy presented the staff report (per agenda material).
Development Services Administrator McCarthy introduced Mr. Matthew Fagan,
serving as a representative of Lennar Homes, and Mr. Mark Lenning,
Collaborative West (landscape architects), who were present to provide the
proposed details of the program to the Commission.
Mr. Lenning advised the Commission that Collaborative West has been
involved with Harveston as part of their vision team; and via the use of
overheads, Mr. Lenning presented the program to the Commission highlighting
the proposed art exhibits and their locations.
R: CSC/rninutes101303 4
For clarification purposes, Community Services Director Parker advised that
some of the art will be owned and maintained by the development's
homeowner's association while structures on City-owned property will be
owned and maintained by the City. Community Services Director Parker
opined that the program was of high quality and will enrich the qualify of life and
the environment. Further, he thanked Harveston and Lennar for their efforts
and noted that they were contributing more art work than required.
In response to Commissioner Henz's query, Community Services Director
Parker clarified that maintenance of the art pieces would come from the same
funds used to maintain the City's park sites (through the City's special park
tax).
Responding to Commissioner Henz's inquiry, Community Services Director
Parker advised that the maintenance cost would be born by all of Temecula's
tax payers, not just those in the Harveston development.
In response to Chairman Edwards query, Maintenance Superintendent
Harrington indicated that he had no concerns regarding the maintenance of the
proposed art pieces.
Commissioner Hogan inquired as to the relevance of the Mission San Luis Rey
as it pertained to Temecula History. Mr. Lenning advised that perhaps the
relevance pertained to the importance of the increase in population in the
Temecula area at some point in history; and/or, perhaps, the mission was more
of a cultural influence to the area; and offered to do further research for
clarification purposes.
Chairman Edwards stated that Collaborative West has done a terrific job, and
opined that in addition to being culturally significant, it was important that the art
be interesting.
Mr. Jimmy Moore, a representative from the Temecula Arts Council, advised
that the Mission San Luis Rey was an important part of the area's history; in
fact, at one point in Temecula's history, the City did have a mission as is
evidenced by the mission bell exhibited outside the Temecula Valley Museum
at Sam Hicks Park. However, (referring to one of the proposed exhibits) the
Sante Fe Railroad did not run through the Temecula Valley--it was the
Southern Pacific Railroad. Further, Butterfield Stage ran canvas-sided mud
wagons not Saratoga wagons (as depicted in one of the proposed exhibits).
MOTION: Commissioner Henz made a motion to conceptually approve the
Harveston Public Arts Program. Commissioner Hogan seconded the motion
and voice vote indicated approval with the exception of Commissioner Meyler
who was absent.
Again, Chairman Edwards commended Collaborative West for striking a
balance between providing art that is interesting and, yet, not an attractive
nuisance.
R: CSC/minutes101303 .5
COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Via the use of overheads, Community Services Director Parker reported on the
progress of the proposed Veteran's Memorial at the Temecula Duck Pond, as
follows:
· That the submittals have been narrowed down to two:
"Letters from Home," depicting a soldier in a dugout, looking out
over the duck pond, writing a letter home. In the round portion of
the monument, genuine letters written by servicemen will be
installed.
0
The second submittal is more traditional. It has a soldier with
weapon drawn standing over a fallen comrade. Across the back
wall of the monument, emblems representing all branches of the
service will be installed.
That the final two submittals were posted on the City's website for
approximately three weeks for the purpose of obtaining input from
the public. Over 400 response were received.
That the subcommittee held a meeting with the local VFVV, American
Legion, and a Temecula post officer's club; and their comments were
forwarded to each of the artists for the purpose of incorporating their
comments into the submittals.
That on October 24, 2003, the artists are to resubmit proposals that
incorporate some of these elicited comments and suggestions.
· That by early December, it is hoped that a contract will be awarded.
Responding to Chairman Edwards query regarding the results of the responses
received, Community Services Director Parker advised that there was much
support for both submittals.
COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSIONER'S REPORTS
Commissioner Henz reported that he had attended an activity at the Mary
Phillips Senior Center and enjoyed it very much; and he suggested that a future
center be added to the Capitol Improvement Program (CIP) as in the near
future the present facility would most likely reach its capacity.
Chairman Edwards suggested that the item be agendized for a meeting in the
near future.
R: CSC/minutes101303 {~
In order to address senior center issues, Community Services Director Parker
suggested bringing Recreation Supervisor Adkisson to the next meeting as well
as studying the issue for the future CIP process.
In response to Commissioner Henz's request, Community Services Director
Parker advised that demographic information is readily available and will be
shared with the Commission at the next meeting. However, in terms of the
present facility, Community Services Director Parker opined that there was still
room for growth. In meetings with staff, innovative and non-traditional activities
have been discussed in order to the keep the facility alive and fresh, such as: a
golf club, a cycling club, an over 55 softball team, etc. For example, Weight
Watchers was intentially added to the activities at the senior center because
the program was nontraditional and requested by the seniors.
Commissioner Hogan advised that last year was the first year that the
Temecula Garden Club held its annual flower show at the Mary Phillips Senior
Center and it was very well attended; and this year, an even bigger flower show
is planned and will include a plant sale. The show attracts people of all ages.
Commissioner Henz commented on the quality of the food at the senior center
stating that while the food has vastly improved, there is still room for
improvement.
In response to Commissioner Henz's inquiry, Community Services Director
Parker advised that improvements to the Temecula Elementary School pool
were part of the Margarita Community Park Project and includes renovations to
the pool. Staff is presently working on an amendment to the City's existing
agreement with the Temecula Unified School District in which the City will
become completely responsible for the utilities, maintenance and schedule,
i.e.,in essence, the pool will become a City pool.
Chairman Edwards advised that according to a year-old agreement with the
Temecula School District and Pop Warner Football for the use of the Temecula
Middle School field, access through the gates on Camino Alagon would be
available; however, these gates were found to be locked. Chairman Edwards
requested that staff ensure that the gates be left open as agreed upon and that
a status report follow. Community Services Director Parker ensured the
Commission that the gates would be left open.
Responding to a request from Commissioner Henz regarding the library grant,
Deputy Director of Community Services Ruse advised as follows:
That the Library Board will be meeting on October 28, 2003, in order
to make the awards.
That many agencies requested that the Board post the rankings prior
to the October 28 meeting. In response, the Board has agreed to
post the rankings on their website before the close of business on
Friday, October 24.

Exhibit "A"
TE iECULA CONh UNITY SERVICES DISTRICT
Naming Parks and Recreation Facilities
PURPOSE
To establish a uniform policy and procedure that identifies
criteria for the naming of parks and recreation facilities.
POLICY
The Park and Recreation Commission will be responsible for the
selection of names for parks and recreation facilities. Once a
name is selected, it will be forwarded to the Board of Directors
for ratification. Staff will be responsible for encouraging
citizens and community organizations to suggest possible names that
will then be forwarded to the Commission for consideration.
At a minimum, each park and community building will be designated
a name. Naming of specific areas within a park (garden, swimming
pool, lake, ballfield, etc.) is acceptable but should be kept to a
minimum to avoid confusion. No park shall be given a name which
might be perceived as controversial by the community. All names
selected shall be acceptable and meaningful to a majority of the
neighborhood/community where the park or recreation facility is
located.
Priority in naming sites shall be given to geographical locations,
historic significance or geologic features. No park shall/be named
for a person, except where an individual has made a significant
financial contribution toward the acquisition and/or development of
the park or facility, or has been an outstanding long-time
community leader who has supported open space and recreational
activities.
Ail park and recreation facilities will be designated a formal name
within six months of acquisition or construction. All parks shall
have an entrance sign. Buildings will have an entrance sign and a
plaque inside the facility for name identification.
The name of a park or recreation facility may be changed only after
a hearing is held by the Commission to receive come, unity input and
direction. No name shall be changed unless there is significant
justification and support by the community.

Vail Ranch Middle School Basketball Coud Lighting and Joint
Use Agreement with Temecula Valley Unified School District
PREPARED BY: ~'~'~' Phyllis L. Ruse, Deputy Director of Community Services
RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Services Commission approve in
substantial form the Vail Ranch Middle School Basketball Coud Lighting and Joint Use
Agreement between the City of Temecula and the Temecula Valley Unified School District.
BACKGROUND: In an effort to provide additional basketball facilities for youth
league practice opportunities during evening and weekend hours, the Community Services
Department has negotiated with the Temecula Valley Unified School Distdct (TVUSD) for the
installation of lights at the Vail Ranch Middle School (VRMS). VRMS has eight (8) full
basketball courts that would be available for youth league and public use after school hours
through the week and on the w~ekends, except for previously scheduled school events.
To clearly define the construction responsibilities and use of the VRMS basketball courts
once the lighting project is completed, the Community Services Department has prepared a
proposed agreement between the City and the TVUSD for use of the VRMS basketball
courts. The term of the agreement is forty (40) years with a provision to amend the term by
mutual consent.
The Joint Use Agreement between the City and TVUSD for the use of VRMS basketball
courts provides for the City to design and construct the lights, to pay the electrical costs
associated with the operation of the lights, and to re-stripe the basketball courts, as
necessary.
The City has obtained a Federal grant in the amount of $90,000 to help defray the lighting
installation costs. The Community Development Department has completed the necessary
CEQA and NEPA environmental reviews. The properties within 600 feet of the site will be
noticed prior to any action taken by the Community Services Board of Directors in order to
give residents in close proximate an opportunity to comment on the project if they so desire.
Approval of this Joint Use Agreement will provide necessary facilities for the TCSD to be
able to continue to offer youth basketball athletic programs and activities within the
community. Currently, the only lighted outdoor basketball facilities are one full and one half
court at Pala Community Park. These facilities are not adequate to meet the needs of the
youth basketball league needs for practice courts. The School Distdct Board has previously
R:\RUSEP~AGENDAS\TVUSD Vail Ranch MS Basketball Lighting-csc.doc
reviewed the agreement as an informational item. If approved by the Community Services
Commission, staff will present the proposed agreement to the TVUSD Board of Directors
and the Community Services Board of Directors for final approvals.
