DISTRICT BUSINESS 8 Subcommittee Recommendation - Northwast Sports Park RECOMMENDATION: 8.1 Discontinue discussions with Big League Dreams for development of a Sports Complex and direct staff to obtain statements of qualifications from park design consultants for design of a City-operated facility at the Northwest Sports Park. Community Services Director Parker referenced the staff report (as per agenda material) and noted that although the Subcommittee has recommended to discontinue discussions with Big League Dreams, the Subcommittee has relayed its commitment to constructing a sports complex at the site of discussion. If approved by Council, Mr. Parker advised that staff will release a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in order to immediately proceed with the design process for the sports park. Although supporting the construction of a sports park, Director Pratt noted his opposition to its designated location because of the added traffic congestion it would create in the industrial area and because of the safety hazards it could create for those children having travel by foot to the site. In response to Director Naggar, Community Services Director Parker advised that efforts are underway to develop the Trails Master Plan which would incorporate a trail underneath the freeway to provide safe pedestrian accessibility to the sports complex. President Comerchero referenced grant monies which will be utilized for the planning of the Trails Master Plan and commented on the work associated with the completion of this Plan. Mr. Larry Murphy, 30326 Calle Halcon, addressed the hazards and liabilities associated with the City running a sports park business. He suggested that the 40 acres of discussion be taken above the flood plane; that the property be sold and utilized for industrial purposes; and that the $3.7 million be donated to the Temecula Valley Unified School District, particularly allocated to the teachers. Advising that it would be unlawful for the District/City Council to allocate the $3.7 million to anything but parks, Director Stone relayed his opposition to a pay-for-play park; viewed the proposed location as appropriate; and noted that because the site of discussion will be master planned, public input and participation would be welcomed. Minutes.csd\0111 O0 4 Reiterating his concern of the children safely traveling to this site, Director Pratt requested that City Attorney Thorson explore Mr. Murphy's suggestion to sell the property and utilize it for industrial purposes and that the matter be agendized. Noting that the proposed park will be an active community park, General Manager Nelson advised that childran are usually driven by their parents to such parks; that the location of the proposed park would not conflict with residential uses; and that a majodty of the park's recreational activities would occur in the evening and on weekends and would, therefore, occur during off-peak traffic time. Director Roberts relayed his support of the project as well as its location. Advising that the location of the proposed sports park would as well benefit businesses located within in the area, Director Naggar relayed his desire to incorporate the Trails Master Plan with the sports park. Commenting on the Subcommittee's desire to build a first-class facility with the construction of two championship venues along with other multi-puq~ose fields, President Comerchero advised that if the Directors were to approve staff recommendation, a committee would be created to review the development of this facility. Mr. Comerchero noted that, for many years, the City has identified this particular site as the northwest sports park. Director Naggar encouraged to hold any committee meetings on a Saturday to ensure active participation. Director Pratt reiterated his desire to sell the 40 acres and to use those proceeds to purchase vacant land in a residential area, thereby, reducing residential density and traffic having to cross the freeway. MOTION: Director Stone moved to approve staff recommendation. The motion was seconded by Director Roberts and voice vote reflected approval with the exception of Director Pratt who voted n__o. In response to Director Pratt's request to agendize the potential purchase of the property of discussion and in light of the Directors' approved action to proceed with the initial study for the construction of a sports park, City Attorney Thorson noted that in the event the Directors' action to proceed were reversed, the matter should be agendized, at that point, in time in order to provide additional information. In response to Director Stone, City Attomey Thorson advised that the City Councilmembers/Directors have a technical right to oppose a Councilmembers/Directors request to agendize a matter, noting that discussion as to whether or not to agendize a matter could create discussion of the actual issue and that would be a violation of the Brown Act.
